When a marriage is no longer working, legal action is often the only way to handle disputes and create a resolution that is fair to all concerned - husband, wife and children. When a person is considering divorce or has been served with divorce papers, it is important to understand the rules of the state in which they live and find knowledgeable representation to handle a separation and, ultimately, a divorce if no other satisfactory resolution can be achieved. Finding a qualified lawyer can make a huge difference in preventing unnecessary conflict and achieving as speedy a resolution as is possible.
Jeanne Ford Family Law is knowledgeable about all facets of North Carolina Law and will provide legal information to help each client receive what is rightfully his/hers with the least disruption to the children and others involved. That includes understanding and complying with the one-year period of separation required by North Carolina law; also alimony, child custody and support, property distribution as well as any criminal activity that may arise during the process. Whenever possible, Jeanne Ford Family Law will seek to utilize alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation and arbitration as a way to reduce expenses and emotional turmoil.
Unfortunately, not all cases are able to be settled out of court. In cases where issues are so complex or emotions are so high, no amount of effort can settle the dispute without a trial. Jeanne Ford Family Law has the experience, knowledge and expertise to help clients achieve the most favorable resolution in court.
