Family Law

North and South Carolina Family Law Attorneys

A marital separation or dissolution (divorce) is never a casual matter. It is a life-changing event that requires careful consideration, planning, and qualified legal counsel. Even when spouses are already emotionally separated and living essentially separate lives, the legal aspects of a divorce still have tremendous impact on the future of husband, wife, and any affected children.

Schedule a consultation with an experienced family lawyer at the McGougan Law Firm in Tabor City, North Carolina. Contact the law firm to discuss the most advantageous approach to divorce or other family law matters including the following:

• Paternity actions
• Marital separation
• Prenuptial agreements; postnuptial agreements
• Child custody
• Child support
• Spousal support (alimony) after a divorce
• Post-decree modifications

While our attorneys appreciate the benefits of collaborative law and mediation in family law matters, we never lose sight of the fact that ultimately, we represent our clients. We work to protect their best interests in family-related legal issues.

Where children are concerned, the "best interests of the child" are primary in the eyes of the law. Learn how this concept can translate to practical cases in your separation or divorce situation.

If you are contemplating divorce, discuss the matter with an experienced lawyer to learn how to position yourself and your children for the most favorable outcome. If divorce is already at the door, learn about topics that you should be concerned about, such as retirement accounts, health insurance, and children's college tuition.
