Testimonials
Read what Arab American families in Durham say about our Arabic-speaking prenuptial attorneys.
“My divorce required a full year of separation before we could even file — that's North Carolina law. My attorney handled the equitable distribution of our assets and made sure my mahr agreement was recognized by the court. She spoke Arabic which made discussing personal matters much easier.”

“After losing my job at a Research Triangle company, I couldn't keep up with child support. My ex filed for contempt in Durham County. My lawyer got a modification hearing and the judge adjusted payments based on my real income. He spoke Arabic and treated me with respect during a difficult time.”
Mazen H.

“My divorce required the mandatory one-year separation, which was the hardest year of my life. My lawyer helped me plan for custody during the separation and got my mahr enforced when we finally went to court. I have primary custody and a fair property split. She spoke Arabic and understood what I was going through.”

Understanding North Carolina's family law statutes helps you protect your rights and plan your case. Here's what you need to know.
Adultery, Abandonment (1 year), Cruel treatment endangering life, Excessive use of alcohol or drugs, Incurable insanity (3 years confinement)
North Carolina requires spouses to live separately for a full year before filing for absolute divorce. During separation, spouses may file for post-separation support, equitable distribution, and custody. Fault grounds exist but are rarely used and primarily affect alimony, not property division.
North Carolina is an equitable distribution state. Marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. The court considers 12 statutory factors including length of marriage, age, health, income, and contributions of each spouse.
Mahr agreements may be considered as part of property division or as a contractual obligation. North Carolina courts have addressed mahr in several cases, generally treating it as an enforceable contract if it meets basic contract requirements.
Best interests of the child
No
North Carolina does not have a statutory preference for joint custody. The court has broad discretion to fashion custody arrangements in the child's best interests. Parenting plans can be submitted by agreement. Custody can be modified upon showing a substantial change in circumstances.
North Carolina uses the income shares model based on both parents' gross incomes, number of children, and custodial arrangement. The NC Child Support Guidelines provide worksheets for calculating support obligations.
Support ends at 18 or high school graduation, whichever is later, but not beyond age 20. North Carolina does not require parents to pay for college. Support orders can be modified upon showing a change in circumstances of at least 15%.
