For Orange County Families

Family Law Representation for Orange County Residents

We represent families in divorce, custody, and family law matters heard in Orange County District Court and Orange County Superior Court — the courts that handle all family law proceedings for residents of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, and surrounding communities. Orange County District Court is located at 106 E. Margaret Lane, Hillsborough, NC 27278. Superior Court matters, including contested equitable distribution trials, are heard at the same address.

Marie Hopper served as President of the 18th Judicial District Bar, which encompasses Orange County — a role that reflects longstanding involvement in the local legal community and ongoing relationships with the judges, attorneys, and court staff who handle these cases. Both attorneys practice in Orange County courts regularly and bring direct familiarity with local procedures and expectations. For clients in Hillsborough, Efland, Cedar Grove, and the broader Orange County area, that depth of local connection is a practical advantage from the first day of representation.

Our family law services cover the full range of matters heard in Orange County courts: divorce and separation, child custody and parenting plans, child support, spousal support and alimony, domestic violence protective orders, adoption, and modification or enforcement of existing orders.
