At the Sutton Law Offices, P.A., in Greenville, I represent clients throughout the state of North Carolina in a broad range of domestic law issues.
The divorce laws in North Carolina differ from most other states. In North Carolina, before you file for divorce, you must be legally separated for at least one year.
I have nearly 20 years of experience helping people and families through the stressful process of legal separation and divorce, and assisting them in resolving family disputes. Contact my Greenville law office today to arrange a private meeting.
If you are seeking a divorce in North Carolina, your separation agreement will address all the issues customarily seen in divorce proceedings in other states. These include child custody, visitation, child support, paternity, alimony and post-separation support, and the division of property and debt. As a result, these issues are generally resolved long before your divorce complaint is filed.
As a domestic law attorney, I handle:
- Property settlement disputes: I will help you equitably divide the debts and assets of your marriage, such as real estate, bank accounts and investments, vehicles, pensions, retirement plans and business assets.
- Alimony and post-separation support (PSS): I work with men and women involved in disputes regarding the payment of alimony or PSS. I will help you determine whether spousal support is appropriate in your situation and, if so, the amount, frequency and duration of the payments.
- Child custody and visitation: I will work with you to establish and implement child custody and visitation agreements or orders that are in the best interest of your children while protecting your rights as a parent.
- Domestic violence, including restraining orders: If you are involved in a case alleging domestic violence or abuse, I can advocate on your behalf whether you are the complainant or the respondent.
For an experienced lawyer to handle your legal separation or domestic law dispute, contact me to set up a confidential meeting. Evening and weekend appointments are available upon request.
Experience matters.
