Child Custody and Child Support in Pitt County
When children are involved in a divorce, the spouses tend to get more argumentative and adversarial. We strive to keep the process moving forward by keeping both parties focused and keeping the mediations productive.
At Irons & Irons P.A., our goal is to build up our client and show the judge how good he or she is for the child's growth and development. We try to highlight the good things about our clients rather than focusing on the negative characteristics of the other parent. We feel this adds a measure of professionalism and respect to the proceedings that our clients appreciate.
Greenville Child Custody Attorney
Child custody can be one of the most adversarial and debated topics of any divorce. It is our goal to work with both parties through mediation to resolve as many disputes as possible before going before a judge.
Child custody contains two aspects that must be noted:
- Legal custody is the division of responsibility for life-altering decisions that must be made for a minor child including religion, education and health care.
- Physical custody is where the child will live. Physical custody typically deals with the number of "overnights" that are allocated to each parent. Some arrangements call for primary physical custody and secondary physical custody. Some physical custody agreements call for the custody to be shared, where the arrangement is more like a 50/50 split of time. Our experience in this area greatly benefits our clients.
Our firm will fight to ensure you receive the best possible resolution to these dilemmas. We have a great deal of skill and understanding in this area, and our clients appreciate our honest and straightforward approach to these mediations.
North Carolina Child Support Attorney
In North Carolina, child support is rather formulaic. It is driven by a child support calculator. The importance of having seasoned representation comes in the variables that are used in the calculation. Variables such as day care costs and health insurance premiums must be accurately calculated in order to ensure a proper child custody amount. We will use our skill and our knowledge of the calculator to get you the most successful resolution possible.
We understand that life changes, and in many circumstances a child support modification becomes necessary. Our lawyers have guided clients through this complicated process as well.
