Father Wins in Child Custody Modification Dispute
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. The mother's visitation at the time was limited to every other week. In an attempt to change this, she filed a Rule 60 Motion with the court. This Rule 60 motion would ask the court to set aside the custody order and restore her 50/50 custody rights. With this motion, the father risked losing Primary Custody and would have had to accept 50/50 custody. Not to mention, the conditions at the mother's house were unfavorable. Thus, it was not in the best interest of the child to spend half his time there. Analyzing the Opposing Party's Rule 60 Motion [...]
This Stolen Green Card Story is for the Books
Dummit Fradin immigration attorney, Devon Senges, recently helped a young Venezuelan woman restore her stolen green card. However, the young woman's story is a bit more complicated than her simply misplacing it. Learn how she was able to recover her stolen green card with the help of our determined immigration attorney. In 2011, a high school student in Venezuela received her United States residency. She moved to the U.S. to live with her father who was already a U.S. citizen. After finishing high school in the U.S., she couldn't decide on what her next step would be. Around that time, her uncle back in Venezuela was sick and her aunt was struggling to care for him.

Appeal Won for Civil Revocation of a CDL
A Greensboro client with a commercial driver's license, or CDL, was charged with DWI in Guilford County. As a result, our client was also hit with a civil revocation of his CDL, also known as a CVR. A civil revocation of a CDL can result in disqualification from using a CDL for one year. This means that CDL holders also face potentially losing their job if the civil revocation stands. One of the biggest obstacles to handling these types of cases is that clients have exactly 10 days to appeal a civil revocation of a CDL. Otherwise, the revocation is allowed to stand and it will disqualify their CDL. Fortunately, our Greensboro client advised us of his issue with only a few days left to petition for a hearing. Criminal defense attorney Patrick Apple filed a strong motion in opposition to the civil revocation and scheduled a hearing [...]

1 Year Later, Husband is Approved for Green Card Interview
With the help of immigration attorney Devon Senges, a North Carolina couple recently had their immigrant visa application approved in Ciudad Juarez. After a successful green card interview, or adjustment of status interview, the husband is now approved for legal permanent residency in the United States. The husband is a national of Mexico who has been living undocumented in the United States for over fifteen years. His wife, a United States Citizen, was his petitioner. And they are proud parents of three U.S. Citizen children. The Green Card Interview Process The couple started the residency process in 2016.

Contempt Hearings for Child Support & Custody a Success
One of our Dummit Fradin family law attorneys recently won two Contempt hearings against the same father – one in custody court and one in child support court. Child Support Contempt Hearing In the child support matter, [the attorney] won the Show Cause Motion by showing that the father had not paid any of the ordered child support while having the ability to pay it. Additionally, she asked the court to use his “bad faith” behavior at a past high-earning job to impute his income for calculating child support. [The attorney] submitted evidence to show the father had acted in a manner that would foreseeably result in his termination from employment, and embezzlement. Indeed, he was fired from the lucrative job. When he got a new job, it paid significantly less. His entirely predictable demotion showed that he acted with conscious disregard for his obligation to support his [...]

Father Gets Sole Custody After Mother Goes MIA
Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Sole Custody - Legal and Physical Custody Awarded County: Guilford County A father in Guilford County needed to modify the child custody order for his children. The mother had been absent from the children's lives for about a year now, so he wanted to see about getting sole legal and physical custody of both minor children.

So, he met with our Greensboro family law team to discuss his options. Challenges with Getting the Opposing Party Served A big challenge our team faced, in this case, was a procedural one -- getting the other party served.
