Type of Case: Child Custody Modification - Rule 60 Motion to Set Aside Case Result: Successfully Defended Against Rule 60 Motion and Preserved the Standing Custody Order County: Guilford County One of our Greensboro family law attorneys represented a father in a child custody modification trial in Guilford County.
