Herring Mills & Kratt, PLLC, handles both contested and uncontested divorce matters, including guideline child support cases, custody, separation agreements and free-trader agreements.
In many cases, we vigorously assert our clients' interests as we form a new agreement from scratch, but for others we follow the terms in existing nuptial agreements. Premarital and nuptial agreements legally bind the parties to act in specified ways as circumstances arise. For example, a prenuptial agreement may require that one spouse pay the other spouse a specific amount of support upon divorce. Our firm tailors our approach to the circumstances of the case.
Each of the attorneys in our family law practice group has been trained in family law mediation and is an experienced mediator. Our family lawyers earnestly attempt whenever possible to settle matters short of court to minimize our clients' emotional and financial costs. We use four-way settlement conferences as well as mediated settlement conferences and collaborative law in an effort to try to settle cases in an amicable manner.
If litigation is needed to resolve a case, our lawyers are prepared; they have the experience to represent your interest zealously in all areas of family law, including:
We also handle appeals to the North Carolina Court of Appeals and to the Supreme Court of North Carolina.
Our family practice group is unique in North Carolina because of our experience in adoption law, including independent (private) adoptions, interstate adoptions, family and stepparent adoptions, and re-adoption in North Carolina in international adoptions.
