MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE

Guiding You Through The North Carolina Divorce Process

Despite being commonplace in today’s society, divorce is one of the most emotionally devastating issues an individual may face. To complicate matters, divorce is expensive and can sometimes lead to a loss of employment, loss of your home and even bankruptcy. Truthfully, all of these unfortunate outcomes can be avoided with the help of an experienced, cost-effective North Carolina lawyer.

At Miller & Audino, LLP, our Greenville divorce attorneys have more than 50 years of combined experience tenaciously representing throughout Greenville, Pitt and Beaufort counties as they navigate the complexities associated with divorce. Our clients come from a broad range of backgrounds in marriages that have lasted anywhere from just a few months to several decades. We are committed to tailoring our legal services to your specific needs as you begin your journey to a better life.

Managing All The Aspects Of Divorce

The decision to file for divorce is just the first in a long line of decisions that must be made before the divorce agreement is finalized. Some of the issues that will require careful consideration include:

  • Child custody: Our lawyers thoroughly review your situation and provide you with the information you need to understand how custody may be awarded. The best interests of the children are always considered first by the courts.
  • Child support: We take the time to explain the child support guidelines established in North Carolina and how it may be calculated in your specific situation.
  • Alimony: Also referred to as spousal support, alimony is the amount of money paid to one spouse by the other. Though it is not always warranted or awarded in every case, it is important to explore your rights regarding alimony during the divorce process.
  • Property division: If you are considering divorce and would like to explore a separation agreement, we are available to help you understand your options and what is the most efficient and cost-effective plan available for you.

This may seem overwhelming at first, but that is okay. Our Greenville family law attorneys will take the time to sit down with you and discuss everything in plain English. They empower you to make wise decisions about your future and the future of your family.

What Should You Look For In A Divorce Attorney?

When selecting a divorce attorney, look for:

  • Extensive experience in family law
  • A track record of successful cases
  • Strong communication skills
  • The ability to clearly explain complex legal terms
  • Empathy, listening and close alignment with your goals
  • A good reputation and good reviews

At our firm, we possess these attributes abundantly. We look forward to helping you throughout this upcoming process.

How Can I Prepare For A Divorce?

Preparing for a divorce involves both emotional and practical steps. Start by organizing your financial documents, such as bank statements, tax returns and property deeds. Create a budget to understand your financial needs post-divorce. Consider seeking support from a therapist to manage emotional stress. It may also be helpful to research your legal rights and the divorce process in your jurisdiction. Consult with a divorce attorney to understand your options and develop a clear strategy for achieving your desired outcomes.

What Are My Options For A Divorce Method?

There are several options for divorce, each with its own approach. These include:

  • Litigation: Taking the case to court, where a judge makes the final decisions. This can be time-consuming and adversarial but may be necessary in contentious situations.
  • Mediation: A cooperative process where a neutral mediator helps both spouses reach an agreement. It is typically faster and less expensive.
  • Collaborative law: Both parties and their attorneys working together to resolve issues without going to court, focusing on open communication and mutual respect.

You should sit down with a family law attorney to discuss which option is best for you.
