Mother Wins Primary Custody After Successful Negotiation
A mother in Guilford County wanted to fight for primary custody of her child. So, she turned to our Greensboro domestic team. Our domestic team prepared for trial thinking a settlement was not possible. [The attorney] arrived for the trial that morning and unpacked her materials, including a 3-inch binder with tabs for 15 exhibits. Shortly thereafter, opposing counsel informed her they were interested in revisiting the settlement negotiations. [She] argued consistency and stability were in the minor child's best interests. The minor child had spent the majority of the time with the mother and was comfortable in her home. The Dummit Fradin team negotiated a consent order granting primary custody to the mother. This custody order secures her rights as the primary parent. Should anything arise in the future, this custody order can be enforced by the contempt powers of the court.

With Remote Learning Concerns, Mother Fights to Maintain Primary Custody

The mother had been most involved with the major aspects of their lives, such as schooling and medical visits. Remote Learning, Custody Schedules, and Tech Resources However, a significant concern the mother had was the father's ability to help their oldest daughter with remote learning. Her daughter was just about to start Kindergarten and it would be held online due to COVID-19. Our client knew that the current custody schedule of the father having the girls two nights per week was ideal, but the father wanted more. As a result, our client was potentially facing having less time with her girls per week, despite being their primary caretaker. And, her kindergartener's quality of [...]

Father Wins Joint Legal Custody, Physical Custody
Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Joint Legal Custody and Physical Custody Awarded County: Randolph and Buncombe A young family was torn apart when the mother packed up and moved across the state with the youngest child in tow. [The Attorney] figured she could quickly get a custody order if she made up false allegations about domestic violence against the father. Understandably, the father was devastated after not seeing his child for weeks, and now he had to face a heart-wrenching child custody case. If the judge ruled in favor of the mother and granted her requests, he would have restricted rights to his child. This ruling would mean he'd have supervised visitation or extremely limited visitation. Additionally, he faced potentially losing the right to participate in major decisions, such as educational, religious, and medical decisions. He knew he would need someone competent and experienced to represent [...]

Working Mother Secures Alimony for 7 Years
Greensboro Family Law Team Type of Case: Equitable Distribution, Alimony, Child Custody, and Child Support. Case Result: Consent Order resolving all issues County: Guilford County Our family attorney helped a working mother in Greensboro who separated from her husband back in 2016. Our client and her husband did not file this action in court until late 2019. Thus, there was a lot of co-mingling funds in that 3-year period of separation, which made things a bit confusing when it came time to value everything. On the date of separation, the client was making 100k more than her husband and recently started working at a job making 100k a year. But her current job is only a contracting position for 6-12 months with no guarantee of renewal. When the parties separated back in 2016, the husband moved to Boston to start a new job. Our client continued to live [...]
Motion for Appropriate Relief Granted in Guilford County
Our client, like many others, got a dreaded speeding ticket in Guilford County. Unfortunately, Guilford County has a new policy that makes it difficult to get a reduction on any speeding charge where the top speed is over 90 miles per hour. So, our client hired legal counsel. Attempting a Prayer for Judgement Continued Her previous lawyer helped her get a Prayer for Judgement Continued. This is a motion unique to North Carolina that allows people with traffic violations to plead guilty to an offense and ask for a Prayer for Judgement from the judge. If the judge grants the Prayer for Judgement, the offense is not entered against the defendant. It is still documented, but points are not added to the person's driving record. However, one caveat is that there's a limit to the number of Prayers for Judgement a judge can grant per household. And, the [...]
50B Dismissed After Successful Negotiations
Type of Case: 50B Domestic Violence Protective Order Case Result: Voluntary Dismissal - 50B Dismissed County: Guilford County Our client's wife filed a 50B, or a Domestic Violence Protective Order, against him. She alleged our client abused both her and her son. Her son was of a previous relationship and was also autistic. Our client and his wife also had a younger son together who's custody schedule would come into question later in his case. The husband explained to our family law team that the autistic son often had violent outbursts. And, because he was a teenager, it could be difficult to calm him down and keep him from hurting himself or others. Because our client is undocumented and currently in the process of gaining United States citizenship, this could have had a significantly negative impact on the outcome of his citizenship. Additionally, his wife had also taken [...]
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 [...]
