Can Your Law Firm Help With Negotiation in My Divorce?
Negotiation is an essential part of getting through the challenges of divorce. It can be a powerful feeling when you and your spouse can agree on the equitable distribution of your property or the terms of your child custody and visitation agreement.
Even if you and your spouse can agree to the terms of your divorce or separation, engaging the right lawyer can give you the peace of mind you may need at this time of change. What if your spouse is veiling assets or suddenly decides to contest your visitation schedule? There are nuances about potential legal outcomes that a chatbot on the internet will not provide. Your time is valuable, and so is your future.
We can help you with negotiation, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, and family court litigation. Let our experienced family law attorneys provide the professional advice and legal services you are seeking.
What Different Options Do I Have for a Divorce in North Carolina?
Depending on the type of divorce you go through, the legal process can vary wildly. Some couples achieve an uncontested divorce where every decision is made in agreement between both spouses. These divorces often move much more quickly and tend to be less stressful.
On the other hand, many divorcing couples face a contested divorce because they disagree on one or more aspects of the divorce settlement. Some examples of matters that may come under dispute include child custody, child support, alimony, and property division. These family law matters can be emotionally challenging and lead to costly court battles.
The good news is that with experienced Raleigh family law attorneys by your side, you can approach your family law case with knowledge and confidence.

What Rights Do Fathers Have in NC?
North Carolina courts recognize that both parents are essential to the child’s well-being following divorce. Because judges want to keep both parents as part of the child’s life, the father and the mother have an equal chance at sharing custody.
Fathers may be eligible for child support payments in some cases. If the mother is the noncustodial parent and/or earns more money, they may be ordered to make payments to the father.
Protecting your rights as a parent in the divorce process can be difficult. Reach out to Gantt Family Law for comprehensive family law services, including establishing paternity and protecting the rights of fathers in Raleigh/Durham.
