What Qualifies as a Family Law Matter?
Family law covers a wide area of subject matters. Some clients may assume this area encompasses situations that strictly involve relatives through marriage, blood or adoption. However, certain areas, including domestic violence, are also considered family law.
Areas of Family Law Practiced
We offer our services for a wide spectrum of family law areas to ensure our clients in Lincoln County, North Carolina, have the best legal representation for their needs:
Divorce
Divorce cases are usually far from simple, especially if they don’t involve an uncontested divorce, but Freedom Law | North Carolina can help you through the process in Lincoln County. No one wants a lengthy divorce process. We do our best to expedite the proceeding so both parties can move onto the next stage of their lives.
Spousal Agreements
Spousal agreements in Lincoln County, North Carolina, involve postnuptial and prenuptial agreements that become legally binding according to which document is involved. Although they initially seem simple, they can often turn complex as the terms get negotiated.
Mediation
Mediation is often used to avoid court proceedings in family law matters, such as divorce and child custody. It usually has several benefits, including a less stressful process in which negotiation and compromise are the goals of both parties.
Child Support
The point of child support is to ensure the child or children have the financial support needed to thrive. This can often be a complicated situation but one that’s incredibly important. Freedom Law | North Carolina doesn’t take these cases lightly, working hard to get the best possible results for the child.
Post-Separation Support/Alimony
Post-separation support and alimony are often sensitive subjects to navigate, especially when one party doesn’t agree with the proposed amount. Our objective at Freedom Law | North Carolina is to assist with making the situation as painless as possible while aiming to get the best results for our clients.
Equitable Distribution
North Carolina is an equitable distribution state, so the process of equitable distribution can often become a complicated point during divorces. Despite the name, it involves fairly distributing marital assets rather than equally.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence cases are often difficult, considering the sensitive nature of the topic. Our empathetic team has handled domestic violence cases over the years, and we can guide you through yours. We discuss the intricacies during the initial consultation.
Child Custody
In a perfect world, everyone would agree on child custody if a situation came to that, but unfortunately, that’s often not the case. Whether you and the child’s other parent agree on arrangements or have difficulty compromising, we can assist you through the situation.
Child Support Modification
There are many reasons why an original child support agreement may need to be changed. Whether the alteration is at the request of the payor, payee, or both parties, we can help modify the initial arrangement if possible.
Estate Planning
Estate planning is one of the wisest decisions you can make, particularly if you have substantial assets. It can often be overwhelming to put together the estate plan, but we help you through the process and continue to work with you until you decide on suitable arrangements. Areas may involve everything from setting up trusts to designating beneficiaries.
Free Trader Agreements
Just because you share a life with someone doesn’t necessarily mean you want to share all your assets. That’s where free trader agreements come in. These legally binding agreements mean one spouse can buy property on their own without having their spouse associated with the legalities of it.
Adoption
The adoption process is often filled with many ups and downs. It’s one of the reasons you need a skilled team, such as the family law attorneys at Freedom Law | North Carolina, to help increase the chances of a happy result.
