Domestic Violence and How to Obtain A Protective Order

Domestic Violence and How to Obtain A Protective Order

Domestic violence is not a topic that is easy to discuss.  But the statistics on its prevalence are staggering and show the need to face this serious issue. On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. 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...]

The Difference Between Separation, Divorce and Annulment

divorce blocks

Most people use the word “divorce” as a catch all phrase when a marriage ends.  However, contrary to what many people may believe, divorce is simply the dissolution of the marriage.  Divorce is but one part of a family law case, which may also include matters such as child custody, child support, spousal support, and property distribution. There are two types of divorce in North Carolina - Absolute Divorce, which is the dissolution of the marriage, and Divorce from Bed and Board, which is one … [Read more...]

Child custody decisions can be affected by living arrangements

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. While standards may vary as to what is acceptable, there are certain factors to keep in mind when preparing for a custody hearing. For example, the child's age and gender can affect how a judge may view … [Read more...]

Drunk driving and binge drinking among veterans spikes

Veterans in North Carolina and other states are increasingly participating in risky behaviors, including some that may put other drivers at risk. This is the big takeaway from a new study by an addiction treatment center. Using risk factor info from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers observed a noticeable spike in occurrences of drunk driving incidents and binge drinking among the military population. The study authors noted that increased emotional and physical … [Read more...]

How courts may handle parental disputes during divorce

Parents in Charlotte who are getting a divorce might think that, if they feel their child is unsafe with the other parent because of alcohol or drug abuse, it will be easy to get a court to act. However, the process is not always that straightforward. One court ruled that even though a father drank nightly, this did not mean he imbibed when he had the children. Parents will usually need documentation to get a court to act. Ideally, this would be something like police reports, but in the absence … [Read more...]

‘Birdnesting’ could be an innovative approach to joint custody

Many divorced parents in North Carolina take time to consider how to best provide their children with a sense of stability. There are a number of custody options that people can consider, and joint or shared custody is perhaps more popular than ever. One alternative type of shared custody option is called "birdnesting." It means that the kids remain in the family home while each parent moves out on a rotating basis. In most cases, this is an option for people with some means as the parents … [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...]

North Carolina seniors: divorce and divisions can be amicable

The Pew Research Center reports that the divorce rate among older Americans has doubled and even tripled for some age groups over the last 30 years. When it comes to divorce, it can be a lengthier process for seniors because they typically have more complex assets to divide. However, older couples may try to part ways on friendly terms. By following a few tips regarding financial decisions, couples could make the situation end on a more positive note. A collaborative divorce is an option … [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...]

Safety officials urge adoption of drugged driving standards

People in North Carolina may see escalated attempts to arrest and prosecute people for driving under the influence of drugs, especially as an increasing number of people advocate for legalized cannabis. The decriminalization movement that has spread across the country sparked warnings from the National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB. There are no clear standards indicating what level of drug exposure could indicate impaired driving. In addition, there are no standardized devices that … [Read more...]
