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 [...]

Unjust Drug Trafficking Charges To Be Dismissed
Our client was facing several felony drug charges including drug trafficking charges in heroin and opium. Under that charge alone, she was up against a mandatory 18-year minimum prison sentence. But, she was likely facing a 22-year prison sentence if convicted. Her bond was set at 1.5 million dollars. Learn how our attorney was able to get the drug trafficking charges dismissed. Getting the Drug Trafficking Charges Dismissed Upon accepting the case, our criminal defense attorney in Greensboro got to work right away. After in-depth research, our attorney came across legislative updates that made it clear that our client was improperly charged with trafficking.

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 [...]
Hero Defense Attorney Rescues Father from False Assault on a Female Charges
Sometimes, a case walks in your door and you have almost no time to prepare in order to achieve the best outcome. That's exactly what happened to one hero defense attorney here at Dummit Fradin. With only four hours to prepare, he was able to secure a not-guilty verdict in a complicated Assault on a Female case in Guilford County. The Case: An Argument Between Dad and Daughter This case truly began a decade earlier with an escalating custody dispute between our soon-to-be client and his ex. Unfortunately, their daughter was caught in the middle feeling as though she needed to show loyalty to one parent over the other. As teens tend to do, she often sided with the more lenient parent. In this instance, the sixteen-year-old child wanted to see her boyfriend one night. Our client refused her request and a normal father-daughter argument ensued. However, [...]
Victory – Fathers’ Visitation Restored
Our Dummit Fradin family law attorney won a Motion for Contempt in Greensboro and restored visitation of a one-year-old baby to her father. What is a Motion for Contempt? After a final court order in a family law case, both parties must abide by the agreed terms in the court order. If either party refuses or fails to comply with any portion of the court order, the second party can file a motion for contempt. The motion basically forces the non-compliant party to abide by the court order or they could face jail time or fines.
