Family Law Frequently Asked Questions
To help ensure our clients get the guidance they need, we offer detailed answers to their questions. Here are some common concerns we have addressed for past clients:
What should I expect during my initial consultation with a family law attorney?
If you have scheduled your initial consultation with one of our family law attorneys, you can expect to have a thorough discussion about your concerns. Our attorneys will listen to your story, strategize an approach to your legal issues, discuss the timeline you should expect to find a resolution and help you prepare for the next steps. We will offer compassionate and comprehensive answers to your legal questions.
How can a family law attorney help with modifying existing court orders?
At Guirguis Law, P.A., our attorneys are experienced in family law. When a client comes to us about modifying an existing court order, we can help them explore their legal options. We are here to help clients negotiate the details of the modification with the other party, when possible, and represent clients in court when necessary. We will help gather the evidence you need to present your case in the light most favorable to your goals.
How long does it typically take to resolve family law issues in North Carolina?
The time it takes to resolve a family law issue greatly depends on the complexity of the issue you and your family are facing.
For example, if you are seeking a divorce, you may need to live separately and apart for at least one year. After a year, you could have your divorce settled in less than 60 days if it is uncontested and all family matters are agreed upon. However, if family matters such as asset division, child custody and support are not agreed upon by both spouses, the divorce may be contested, which could prolong the divorce process for over a year.
Our goal as your family law attorneys is to resolve your legal issues as fast as possible.
