Frequently Asked Questions
Common Family Law Questions Answered.
Get clarity on the most common questions families have when navigating family law in North Carolina.
How long does a divorce take in North Carolina?
In North Carolina, there is a mandatory one-year waiting period for absolute divorce. You must be separated for at least one year and one day before filing. The actual timeline varies based on complexity, but we work to resolve matters as efficiently as possible.
How is child custody decided in NC?
North Carolina courts make custody decisions based on the "best interest of the child" standard. Factors include the child's age, relationship with each parent, stability, school and community ties, and each parent's ability to provide care.
Do I need a lawyer for a prenuptial agreement?
Yes. Both parties should have independent legal counsel to ensure the agreement is enforceable. A properly drafted prenuptial agreement can protect assets, clarify financial expectations, and save significant time and money later.
What is the difference between separation and divorce?
Separation means living apart with the intent to end the marriage. Divorce is the legal dissolution of the marriage. In North Carolina, you must be separated for one year before you can file for divorce. A legal separation agreement can address financial and parenting issues during this time.
Can I modify a child support order?
Yes. Child support orders can be modified if there is a substantial change in circumstances, such as a job change, relocation, or change in the child's needs. Either parent can request a review and modification through the courts.
