ABOUT McKnight Law
Divorce hurts,
but it doesn't have to be nasty.
Practice Areas
Divorce
To best serve you, after we have reviewed your situation, discussed your wishes and understand your financial situation, we will quote a package price.
Custody
When families with children are separating, child custody is, in most instances, the most important issue to be resolved.
Child Support
In North Carolina, application of statutory child support guidelines can be a relatively straightforward process. However, each case is different.
Alimony
One of the most frequent questions we are asked relates to the amount, duration, and manner of post-separation support and alimony.
Mediation
In North Carolina, filed claims for both Custody and Equitable Distribution are subject to mandatory mediation.
Separation
Not all cases need to be litigated; they often settle with a private contract called a Separation Agreement and Property Settlement.
