Frequently Asked Questions
How is custody decided in North Carolina?
Courts consider the child’s best interests—factors include parental involvement, stability, and safety.
Can we make our own custody agreement?
Yes. Courts often approve parent-created plans if they serve the child’s needs. We help draft and review them.
What if we disagree on the schedule?
You may benefit from mediation or, if needed, a court hearing. We help you weigh your options.
Do kids get to choose where they live?
Not exactly. A child’s preference may be considered, especially as they get older, but it’s not the deciding factor.
What is a parenting coordinator?
In high-conflict cases, a court may appoint a neutral professional to help resolve day-to-day parenting disputes.
Can custody be changed later?
Yes, if there’s a substantial change in circumstances. We help clients seek or respond to modification requests.
