The end of a marriage is one of the most significant changes a person will experience in his or her life. While there are many negative feelings and connotations associated with the word “divorce,” it can actually signify a new beginning and a fresh start. It all depends on how you approach your divorce and whether you ensure the full protection of your interests and rights through the process.

As an attorney with extensive divorce and family law experience in North Carolina, I can talk to you about your options and act as your advocate through your divorce, no matter how straightforward or complex, amicable or contested.
