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. So, in February 2013 the recent grad decided to travel to Venezuela. The plan was to help her aunt care for her uncle until she figured out her next move in life. [...]
With Remote Learning Concerns, Mother Fights to Maintain Primary Custody
Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Primary Physical Custody Awarded County: Guilford County Our Greensboro family law team recently represented a mother who had been the primary caretaker of both of her young girls. 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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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. As part of the process, they were required to apply for a forgiveness waiver before they could apply for residency. Forgiveness waivers are required when immigrants enter the country without inspection. Unfortunately, right now there is a severe backlog in immigrant visa applications at the American consulate in Ciudad Juarez. [...]
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. Our Tips for Negotiating Primary [...]

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 [...]
