Family law is one of the main areas of the law we focus on, including issues such as:
In North Carolina, no-fault divorce is the only option, so you won’t need to prove anything except that you and your spouse have lived apart for a year and a day. However, not every divorce is a simple divorce, where the couple has no children and no assets to divide between them. If you own property or have children together, you must negotiate several points before proceeding with your divorce. A North Carolina divorce lawyer can help you negotiate a fair solution and can fight for your rights in court if necessary.
When a couple becomes separated in North Carolina, either partner can file a claim for equitable distribution of their marital property. A claim for equitable distribution includes an inventory listing everything the couple owns, including:
The court will determine which items are marital property, which are separate, and which are divisible and will then divide the marital and divisible property equitably between the spouses, considering factors such as:
Equitable does not always mean strictly equal, so dividing marital property is not always straightforward. A skilled divorce lawyer can help you negotiate a division of your marital property to preserve your wealth and get you what you need to move on with your life.
Who will have custody of the children after a divorce? What kind of visitation arrangement is in the best interest of the child? These are issues of tremendous importance to parents and the children involved. Make sure that your rights are respected and the well-being of your children is protected. Get the help of an experienced divorce lawyer to resolve child custody issues.
After a divorce, the custodial parent sometimes prevents grandparents from seeing their grandchildren. In other cases, grandparents may want to request custody of their grandchildren because they believe the parent is unfit for some reason. Do grandparents have any right to request visitation or custody in North Carolina?
Grandparents in North Carolina can ask a court for child custody or visitation rights, but the court will presume that the preference of the parent is in the best interest of the child. If you want to secure visitation rights over the objections of the parent, you will have to convince the court that this would be in the child’s best interest. If you want custody over the child, you will have to convince the court that the parent is unfit. A skilled family law attorney can help you achieve these frequently challenging goals.
Are you seeking permanent resident status in the United States? Are you hoping to become a U.S. citizen? Immigration law involves many complex issues, and we can help with most of them.
Criminal defense is the other main area of the law we focus on at Greenwood Law. We can help with:
DWI charges are among the most common criminal charges we see. In North Carolina, DWI charges carry penalties ranging from 24 hours to two years imprisonment and fines of between $200 and $4000. Don’t leave your future up to chance. A skilled criminal defense lawyer can challenge the evidence against you and may be able to get charges reduced or even dismissed.
A domestic violence accusation can cause you serious legal problems in North Carolina. Even if you haven’t been convicted of any crime, you can be subjected to a protective order and forced to surrender any firearms you own. If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, we can help ensure that your legal rights are protected. If you need to get a protective order to keep yourself or your children safe from domestic violence, we can help you with the process of requesting a protective order from the court.
Child pornography charges are among the most serious criminal charges a person can face, as a conviction would result not only in criminal penalties but in mandatory registration as a sex offender. We can help you mount a vigorous defense against these accusations and protect your reputation.
If you’re accused of sex-related crimes, a conviction can limit your future and employment opportunities. This is not something to leave to chance.
If you’re caught with illegal drugs in North Carolina, you can be charged with a possession offense or with a more serious drug trafficking offense. Either way, you need to do everything in your power to fight these charges and keep them from turning your life upside down. A skilled criminal defense lawyer can help.
