Divorce
There are three general divorce law requirements to file divorce papers and obtain an absolute divorce in North Carolina. First, either you or your spouse must live in the state for at least six months prior to filing the action for an uncontested divorce. Second, you and your spouse must have lived separate and apart for at least one year. Third, during the one year separation period, either you or your spouse must have the intent to not resume the marital relationship. To begin the divorce process, the divorce complaint which is a divorce form is filed with the clerk of court in the county where you reside. The complaint is then served on your spouse either by certified mail or delivery by your local sheriff’s office. After a period of time, the judgment of divorce is signed by a judge, assuming there are no issues in dispute regarding the three general requirements as set forth above and it is an uncontested divorce. An absolute divorce does not require any grounds for divorce or cause of divorce and is not considered to be an at fault divorce. It is important to understand that the granting of an absolute divorce does not settle any other pending or unresolved issues regarding your marriage, such as alimony, property distribution which usually require divorce mediation to reach a divorce settlement.

Child Support
An uncontested divorce is a quick divorce and cheap divorce in comparison to a contested divorce. When filing for a divorce it is essential to remember that divorce and children go hand in hand when looking at child custody and child support.
Child Custody and Visitation
The issue of child custody law can be very contentious and emotionally-charged since it deals with the issues of a father's child custody rights and a mother's child custody rights. Child custody cases can be agreed upon outside of the judicial process through a child custody agreement that outlines a child custody schedule, but very often these are difficult matters to resolve outside of child custody court due to the personal nature of the issue. Therefore, it is often necessary to file a complaint which is a child custody form for child custody cases and ask a judge to make the decision after the parents have first went to child custody mediation. After child custody papers are filed a judge will consider a variety of factors in determining who is entitled to child custody rights and child custody visitation, but the court must find that the parent who is given custody is a fit and proper person to have custody and that an award of custody to that parent is in the best interest of the child. On that basis the court may award joint child custody or sole child custody to either parent.
Paternity
Guardianship
Spousal Support
The outcome of the divorce is simply that you and your spouse are no longer married and no longer are coping with the divorce process. All other issues must be handled either by another court proceeding or agreement between you and your spouse. The entry of a judgment of absolute divorce into the divorce records cuts off many important rights either party may have, including alimony and equitable distribution, if such claims are not filed or otherwise resolved prior to the entry of absolute divorce.
Legal Separation
Alimony is financial support that is paid from one spouse to another after the legal separation and/or absolute divorce of the parties. It should be noted that a spousal support claim must be filed before an absolute divorce is granted to either party. Alimony is paid by the supporting spouse to the dependent spouse of the marriage and is based on several factors, including income. Alimony can be temporary and such type of alimony is called post-separation support. These payments serve to financially support the dependent spouse until such time as permanent alimony can be determined. “Permanent alimony” can either be for an indefinite term or for a specific period. It is paid by the supporting spouse to the dependent spouse for such period and in such form as determined by a judge or agreed upon by the parties in a separation agreement. A judge is allowed to consider a variety of factors that serve as an alimony advisory guideline in calculating alimony, who receives alimony and for how long. Contact a

DUI/DWI
While some wish to fight, many people seek a good plea as their primary goal. Getting a temporary permit for work and/or school, minimizing jail time, and other negotiated matters are best served if the attorney prepares the case for trial. The prosecutor is more likely to work with an attorney towards a negotiated plea if the prosecutor knows that the attorney is ready and willing to take the case to trial. In a DUI, the license of the individual is often suspended for at least 1 year, but a DWI traffic lawyer can help you obtain a limited driving privilege that will allow you to continue to drive while your North Carolina driving license is suspended. For that reason, it is imperative to get an attorney involved quickly. Contact a Monroe DWI attorney to help your resolve your case.
Wrongful Death
If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of another, our attorneys may be able to help you file a wrongful death lawsuit seeking compensation from the responsible party. When a loved one dies, he or she is often survived by dependents who feel the loss not only on an emotional level, but also a financial one. At McManus Law, our Monroe attorneys have over a decade of experience advocating on behalf of families who have been affected by a wrongful death. We are dedicated to recovering the compensation our clients need to ease their financial burden during this difficult time.
Traffic Violations
The result of a traffic violation can have an indefinite impact of your future driving privileges and insurance premiums. Should you choose to simply plead guilty and pay the penalty for a traffic ticket, depending on the offense, your insurance premiums alone can increase by fifteen to four hundred percent. In addition pleading guilty to such a charge could also result in enhanced penalties for any future offenses. We have significant experience and expertise in representing defendants in traffic court and like to appear in court on your behalf. If you have not already plead guilty we would like to help reduce the impact of your traffic ticket.

Personal Injury
The at-fault party’s insurance company will immediately launch an investigation into the accident in an attempt to reduce the amount they may have to pay out. While this investigation proceeds, it is important for your Union County personal injury lawyer to complete a thorough investigation of his or her own. The strength of your case will ultimately rest on your attorney’s ability to collect and present evidence that illustrates that the other party was negligent and therefore responsible for your damages.
Medical Malpractice

With the help of an experienced Monroe, Union County or Charlotte, Mecklenburg County medical malpractice attorney, injured patients may be able to recover an award for damages including costly medical bills, the loss of earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Since North Carolina medical malpractice cases are often subject to statutory complexities and require knowledge of both medical and legal matters, these types of lawsuits are generally considered some of the most difficult to handle. It is important that you hire an attorney with the necessary experience and resources to successfully litigate your claim.
