An unfortunate reality in divorce is, though you loved each other at one time, each spouse may not be as concerned about the well being of the other as they once were.

We will help track down assets and ensure you and your child(ren), if applicable, receive the support you are owed.
North Carolina is a 50/50 distribution state. However, courts will consider an equitable division of property depending on what the court deems “fair.” Financial contribution can be considered when dividing marital property, which could be detrimental to you; for example, if you were a housewife.
