FAQs
How do North Carolina courts decide custody?
Courts consider the best interest of the child, factoring in safety, living arrangements, parent involvement, and more.
What’s the difference between legal and physical custody?
Legal custody involves decision-making authority (like school or healthcare); physical custody is about where the child lives.
Can custody be modified later?
Yes. If circumstances change significantly, we can help you request a custody modification.
Do I need a parenting plan?
Yes. A detailed parenting plan helps avoid future disputes and outlines custody, visitation schedules, holidays, and communication.
Can grandparents or relatives seek custody or visitation?
In some cases, yes. We can help explore those options if they apply to your situation.
