Mediation and arbitration can be a great way to solve traditional legal disputes and can be a less expensive, quicker and more pleasant process than litigation.  Mediation and arbitration are considered an informal proceeding in the sense that the parties are not situated in a courtroom with evidence and testimony being presented on the record.  These alternatives are not exactly the same and it is important to understand the difference.  Mediation has a trained independent third party with no … [Read more...]

Divorcing couples in North Carolina and around the country are often unclear about how alimony is calculated. This is a contentious issue that can derail divorce negotiations and lead to protracted legal battles, but understanding why alimony is ordered and how judges approach the matter could help spouses to avoid this pitfall. Discussing the topic unemotionally is especially important when the spouse initiating divorce proceedings will be receiving alimony payments or one spouse earns … [Read more...]

The Relationship Between Drunk Driving and Divorce

Driving under the influence of alcohol is a problem not just in Charlotte, North Carolina, but also across the United States. The problem has become such a societal burden that Utah has decided to lower its blood alcohol concentration limit to .05%, departing from the .08% limit enacted across much of the country. Additionally, many advocates for safer driving conditions are championing efforts to enforce stricter drunk driving laws and strengthen penalties to include the mandatory installation … [Read more...]

Custody and visitation rights for fathers

Unmarried or divorced fathers in Charlotte might struggle to get the custody arrangement they want with their children. Over 80 percent of custodial parents are mothers, and this suggests that courts still favor them in child custody cases. Fathers may also fall behind on child support or be blocked from seeing their children altogether if the mother files a protection order. Some of these situations could have a severe effect on a father's life. For example, one father who fell behind … [Read more...]

During one year, this equates to more than 10 million people. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate physical violence, intimate partner contact sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking. In NC, the … [Read more...]

Being a spouse or partner in an abusive relationship is a very difficult situation for you and your children.  Not knowing where to turn or what rights you have to protect yourself and your family can be painful as you try to do the best you can.  The state of North Carolina provides protection for people in this situation through the courts – Domestic Violence Protective Orders, which are also called a “50B,” or Restraining Order. A Restraining Order, is signed by a judge and orders your … [Read more...]
