When a North Carolina parent is preparing to seek child custody, they should be aware of how their living arrangements could affect the outcome of their hearing. In fact, courts often base decisions about child custody and visitation at least in part on the parent's living circumstances.

This in turn will dictate what type of sentence you can receive. DWI charges and … [Read more...]

Every person ever convicted of a criminal offense has reason to wonder whether they are eligible for an expungement (also referred to as an “expunction”). An expungement is a powerful thing—once it is granted, it is as though that arrest and conviction never occurred, to the point that you may fill out a job application swearing under penalty of perjury that you have never been charged or convicted of those offense(s). There are a multitude of types of expungements, each with its own list of … [Read more...]

Divorcing at or over the age of 50 can be bad for a Charlotte resident's health. This is significant because the divorce rate for people in this age group has doubled since 1990.
