Apex, NC Child Custody & Support Lawyers
Child custody and child support disputes can be emotionally and legally complex. Whether you're fighting for custody, seeking fair support payments, or modifying an existing order, you need clear guidance and strong representation. Our firm is here to help you navigate these challenges with a focus on protecting your rights and your child’s best interests.
Understanding Custody & Support
Custody determines where a child lives and how major decisions are made. Courts typically award either sole or joint custody based on factors like each parent’s stability, the child’s needs, and any history of abuse or neglect. Legal custody involves decision-making power over education, healthcare, and religion, while physical custody refers to where the child resides.
Child support, on the other hand, ensures both parents contribute financially. Payments are based on income, custody arrangements, and state guidelines. However, these calculations can be disputed—especially if one parent is underreporting income or facing unexpected financial strain.
How We Can Help
Custody Cases: Whether you're seeking primary custody or need to enforce a visitation agreement, we build strong cases with evidence like financial records, parenting plans, and witness testimony. If your ex is violating court orders or alienating your child, we take swift action to protect your rights.
Child Support Matters: If you're being asked to pay an unfair amount—or not receiving enough—we challenge inaccurate calculations and ensure compliance with state laws. For parents seeking modifications due to job loss, medical expenses, or remarriage, we guide you through the legal process to adjust payments fairly.
Mediation & Litigation: Some cases can be resolved through negotiation, saving time and stress. Others require court intervention. We assess the best approach based on your goals and the other parent’s cooperation. If necessary, we fight aggressively in court to secure a just outcome.
Custody and support cases impact your child’s future. You don’t have to face them alone. Whether negotiating a fair agreement or advocating in court, we work to protect what matters most—you and your child. Click here to contact us today to schedule a consultation.
