Family Law

• Divorce
  Contemplating divorce is always difficult. Whether you are sure you want to end your marriage or are still considering your options, it helps to learn the basics of divorce law and process. Should you conclude that divorce is necessary, it is very important that you seek the assistance of an experienced family law attorney at Alley Register & McEachern in Wilmington, NC. Involving a knowledgeable family law attorney as soon as possible in the divorce process is one of the best ways to preserve your own long-term financial and emotional health.
• Child Support
  Most of our family law practice is concentrated on handling divorce and child custody cases. These cases can be highly contested and argued between spouses, resulting in legal intervention. By having a lawyer on your side, you can ensure that your rights are protected when dealing with issues that stem from a divorce such as child custody, child support, property division and alimony.

  Though the majority of the child custody cases we handle are in conjunction with a divorce, we also handle cases for clients who have never been married to the other parent of their child or children.

• Guardianship

  For a lot of people, a divorce is the blackest period in their whole life. Even if it’s not that bad, it’s still stressful. Emotions can run high. Our lawyers respect that. We assist people with property division,custody, visitation and post-decree issues.

• Wills
  We also help with “probate” or estate administration after the death of a loved one. Estate administration is the wrapping up of the affairs of the deceased and includes identifying, locating and collecting the assets of the deceased, paying the deceased’s final expenses and distributing the remaining assets in accordance with the deceased’ Last Will and Testament or in accordance with North Carolina law. These are some of the duties of the Executor or Administrator of the estate. The Executor or Administrator is accountable to the Clerk of Court and must prove to the Clerk that their responsibilities have been accomplished according to the law. The estate administration can be confusing and frustration to the average person, especially to someone griefing. We can often provide great assistance in the estate administration process.
