Stepparent Adoption in North Carolina: What Families Should Know
Stepparent adoption is one of the more emotionally meaningful legal processes a blended family can go through, and it’s also one that families often assume is simpler than it turns out to be. In North Carolina, the process legally recognizes a stepparent as a child’s parent, but getting there generally depends on one factor more […]
Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce in North Carolina. What’s the Difference?
An uncontested divorce in North Carolina means both spouses agree on every major issue, including property division, child custody, child support, and spousal support. A contested divorce means the spouses disagree on one or more of those issues, which typically requires additional negotiation, mediation, or a judge’s decision at trial. The history of your marriage […]
What Is Mediation in a North Carolina Divorce and Do You Have to Do It?
In North Carolina, mediation is legally required before a judge will schedule a trial for contested child custody disputes and equitable distribution (property division) cases. Under N.C. General Statutes § 50-13.1(c) for custody and § 50-20(h) for property division, parties must attempt mediation before their case can proceed to a courtroom hearing, making mediation not […]
10. HAVE QUESTIONS?
Answers For
Your Peace Of Mind
How much does divorce cost?
In North Carolina, the filing fee for an absolute divorce is $225.00. A lawsuit making a claim for an Absolute Divorce (and possible resuming a person’s maiden name) is based on the lawyer’s hourly rate unless otherwise advised by Sodoma Law.
How long will I have to pay child support?
In general, both parties have a duty to support their child until the child reaches the age of 18 or graduates from high school, whichever event occurs last. However, if the minor child is over 18 and continues to attend secondary school, parties are obligated to provide child support up to the age of 20.
Do I still have to pay alimony if I lose my job?
In North Carolina, if a party is either ordered to pay alimony or has agreed to pay alimony through a consent order, then a party may seek a modification of the existing obligation by filing a motion with the Court and showing that there has been a change in circumstances.
How can I keep my fees to a minimum?
Sodoma Law, P.C. offers many suggestions to clients as to how to keep attorney fees low. Among other things, we ask that our clients come as prepared as possible to meetings so that each meeting is productive and effective. We ask our clients to assist us in keeping their files organized so as to lower administrative costs related to hearing and/or settlement preparations. We often work with clients to prepare “to do” lists so as to further reduce their legal fees.
What happens if I die without a will?
If you don’t have an estate plan, the legislature has a default plan for you. The default statutory rules are rarely what anyone would choose and can create unfair results and discord among your family. Here are just a few examples: Imagine you die without a will and are survived by… read more about estate planning.
