Navigating Life’s Transitions in Wilmington

Life is full of meaningful moments, and family law plays a key role in many of them. 

Our team can provide clear and reliable legal support during transitions like: 

• Starting a new chapter. We assist with prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, helping couples establish clear terms and mutual understanding as they plan for the future. 
• Facing separation. When a marriage ends, we guide Wilmington residents through equitable distribution. This process involves fairly identifying and dividing marital assets and debts under North Carolina law. 
• Building financial clarity. Whether planning for a marriage or navigating a divorce, we help protect your financial interests and simplify complex processes.

No matter where you find yourself, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.

Guidance from Our Certified Parenting Coordinator

High-conflict custody disputes can take a toll on both parents and children, creating unnecessary stress and tension. At Fresh Start Family Law, we offer the support of a certified parenting coordinator to help families navigate these challenges. 

A parenting coordinator serves as a neutral third party, working with families to resolve everyday disagreements related to parenting. This may include handling minor schedule adjustments, coordinating transportation, or addressing decisions about extracurricular activities to reduce the need for repeated court appearances.

By promoting clear communication and making timely decisions when parents cannot agree, our parenting coordinator helps reduce conflict and fosters a more cooperative co-parenting environment. This service allows families to focus on building a healthier dynamic that prioritizes the well-being of their children.

Protecting Against Domestic Violence with DVPOs

If you’re facing harassment, threats, or abuse from a current or former partner or family member, a Domestic Violence Protective Order (DVPO), commonly called a 50B order, can provide critical legal protection.

A DVPO can require the abuser to stop all contact with you, grant you temporary possession of a shared residence, and even establish temporary child custody arrangements. This powerful legal tool is designed to help you regain control and create a safer environment for you and your loved ones.

We understand the urgency of these situations and are committed to acting quickly. Our team will assist you in navigating the process of petitioning the court, offering compassionate and diligent support every step of the way. With a DVPO in place, you can take an essential step toward safety and peace of mind for yourself and your family.
