NORTH CAROLINA DIVORCE PROCESS
No two cases are identical and the process will vary depending upon your needs, but typically the process is as follows:
Initial Consultation
This gives us an opportunity to hear all the issues you have with the case. After speaking to prospective clients we can help find claims that they never thought about.
Settlement Negotiations
We start by attempting to settle matters out of court as this will help everyone save time and money. Our goal is to quickly get you the best result possible, without breaking the bank.
Mediation
Court ordered mediation is required in most family law cases. However if all you have is a simple divorce then it is most likely not going to apply to your case.
Litigation & Ruling
We do our best to avoid litigation on your behalf, but if it comes to that we will be ready to zealously advocate for your interests. You couldn’t find better attorneys to be by your side.
