Divorce Attorneys Providing Trust, Guidance And Skill

More often than not, the separation and divorce process is overwhelming, painful, confusing and stressful, coupled with both emotional distress and financial burdens. Aside from the expected fears of leaving a household, dividing property and setting up a new life, there are often high levels of anxiety that come from concern for children or special personal belongings, including pets.

Separation Agreement

In North Carolina, one must wait 12 months from the date of separation until he or she is able to file for divorce. But a year is a long time to wait if there are children, property and financial needs for spousal support, post separation support or to divide the property before you are able to file for divorce.

We are skilled negotiators and can help create a separation agreement, which is essentially a binding contract, that will divide property, provide for post separation support, alimony, child custody and even child support until it is time for the divorce itself. Once you are eligible to file for divorce, we can help again by incorporating the Separation Agreement into the divorce judgment, which will make it judicially binding as a court order.

The separation agreement approach is often the most efficient and cost effective and can help reduce the strain of the litigation process. This option will avoid the trial process and allow you to start moving forward with your life with clear answers and certainty.
