Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 704-286-0570 today!

  • How long does the divorce process typically take in Cary, NC?

    The divorce process in Cary, NC, can take a few months to longer than a year, depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of both parties to cooperate.

  • Can I represent myself in a divorce proceeding?

    You are legally allowed to represent yourself in a divorce proceeding, but it isn’t recommended. If you go to family law court unrepresented and your ex-spouse has an attorney, the judge may ask if you can arrange to have an attorney before the next hearing. Without an attorney representing you, the court may worry that you are agreeing to unfair divorce terms because you don’t fully understand the legalities of your case.

  • Can I get temporary custody or support while my divorce is pending?

    In some cases, the court may approve temporary custody or support while a divorce is pending, but it is not guaranteed. To prove that it will be necessary in your case, you should work with an attorney who can better explain the situation to the court and respond to any challenges that your spouse’s legal counsel might bring up.

  • How does North Carolina handle child custody for divorced parents who live in different counties?

    When two divorced parents live in different North Carolina counties, the court may be tempted to assign sole physical custody rights to one parent and visitation rights to the other. This arrangement would allow the child to live in one home and not have to worry about frequent distant trips.

  • If my spouse and I have a prenuptial agreement, can I still contest the division of assets in a Cary, NC divorce?

    With a prenuptial agreement in place, you can contest the division of marital assets not described or included in that agreement. It will be much more difficult to contest the division of assets included in the agreement, though. In that situation, you will need to prove that the prenuptial agreement was made under duress or in a way that intentionally put you at an unfair disadvantage.

  • Can I get a temporary restraining order against my spouse in Cary if I fear for my safety during the divorce process?

    You can get a temporary restraining order in North Carolina if you are a victim of domestic abuse or violence, which includes being threatened with violence or abuse. The quickest way to get an emergency restraining order is to talk with a law enforcement officer. For a temporary restraining order hearing, you should be represented by a legal professional.
