 North Carolina Alienation of Affection ActionsIn North Carolina, marital infidelity can be the basis of an alienation of affection action, where you are suing someone for "stealing" your spouse from you. In my experience, this type of lawsuit is often used to support a claim of infidelity, which can lead to a non-cheating spouse receiving alimony to a cheating spouse being denied alimony.

Alimony and Post-Separation Support in North Carolina
In North Carolina, the fault of a party can be factored in to a determination of whether there will be a grant of alimony. Post-separation support, on the other hand, is supposed to be available regardless of fault.
I frequently work with clients who seek to prove infidelity in order to receive alimony or prevent an ex-spouse from receiving spousal support.
If you are seeking alimony in the absence of fault, you will need to show that you were a dependent spouse and that you need alimony to sustain the standard of living you had during the marriage.
I have extensive experience representing both sides in alimony and PSS actions. I know the factors the court will consider and can help you prepare the best factual case and legal arguments to support your position.
For an experienced attorney to handle a dispute involving alimony or a request for post-separation support, contact me to set up a confidential meeting. Evening and weekend appointments are available upon request.
Experience matters.
