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 [...]

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 [...]

Persecuted Pastor from El Salvador Gets Asylum
Type of Case: Asylum Case Result: Asylum Protection Granted Our client was a pastor in El Salvador whose religion strongly believes in the sanctity of all human life.

Yet, a few days later the young man eventually returned to murder his target. The El Salvador National Police approached our client and pressured him to identify the murderer. They told him they would kill the man in retaliation since the victim was the brother of a local police inspector. Our client refused to help the police commit an extrajudicial crime. Thus, he ended up a target himself. The National Police persecuted him for his refusal to cooperate. So, our client decided to seek asylum protection in the United States [...]
Victory – Child Custody Modification
A Dummit Fradin family law attorney in Greensboro was successful in arguing a child custody modification/ relocation case, in which her client wanted to relocate to Florida with the parties’ five minor children. The family attorney successfully argued that due to the strong bond between the children and their mother, extended family available as support in Florida and a past history of domestic violence between the parents, it was in the best interest of the children to live in Florida with their mother rather than in North Carolina, where they have lived most of their lives.
