Divorce
Child Support
Child support in this State is based upon the monthly gross income of both parents from all sources, the number of overnight stays with each parent, and certain other relevant costs. Child support should be considered in three categories: determination, modification, and enforcement. Evans & Meads, PLLC provides representation in all three phases set out above to both parties paying and parties receiving child support. We are knowledgeable as to the process of determining support, arguments relevant to the determination and modification of support, presenting your best case and gathering information useful to the process.
Child Custody and Visitation
An initial child custody action should be filed in the state where the child has resided for the six months just prior to filing suit. Child custody can be determined by agreement of the parties before or after a custody action is filed. When a custody action is filed in our area, the parties will first participate in mediation to determine if the issue can be resolved without a hearing. If the issue of custody is brought to hearing, the judge will consider a variety of factors to determine what type of custody plan is in the child s best interest. Evans & Meads, PLLC can assist you with an initial custody determination by assessing your situation, providing knowledgeable advice as to how to improve your likelihood of prevailing, explaining the mediation process and suggesting revisions to any proposed parenting agreement achieved in mediation, filing your action, negotiating settlement on your behalf, preparing you and your witnesses for trial and skillfully presenting your evidence at trial.
Adoption
There are several types of adoption which are all handled slightly differently in North Carolina. A few such different types of adoption are step-parent adoptions, relative adoptions, birth adoptions, in-state and out of state adoptions. Some adoptive parents pursue adoption through a placement agency who handles or has counsel who handles the adoption filings. Other adoptive parents pursue a private adoption where they may meet or have contact with the birth mother or birth parents. In such an adoption, a private attorney is normally used to handle the adoption.
Premarital Agreement
Prior to marriage, prospective spouses may enter into binding agreements regarding a variety of topics such as: distribution of their assets upon divorce or death, alimony, the keeping of accounts during the marriage, and the classification of certain assets. These agreements, if executed appropriately and well-drafted, can override or change how the law would typically be applied to these people and their situation. Prenuptial agreements are utilized for many reasons including but not limited to: protecting assets for the children of a first marriage when remarrying and protection of assets or income when there is a large disparity in the wealth or income of the parties. Evans & Meads, PLLC has experience with negotiating, preparing and reviewing these types of agreements. We are able to explain the long-term ramifications of the provisions of a prenuptial agreement and advise our clients regarding the same. We are experienced in drafting agreements that are enforceable and that provide that protection for which they were intended.
Spousal Support
Alimony is paid by a spouse who supported or is capable of supporting the other spouse. It is paid to the spouse who was or is economically dependent on the other spouse. Alimony paid before a final division of marital property is called post separation support. It is not required that the supporting spouse have committed any fault for an award of alimony. If ordered or agreed upon by the parties, it is paid until the death of one of the spouses, until the party receiving support remarries or lives with someone as if married, or for a set period of time determined by the Court or agreed upon by the parties. The amount and duration of alimony is based on the income, debt obligation, lifestyle of the parties and other factors considered by the Court such as the receiver s opportunity, education and ability to generate future income. Evans & Meads, PLLC can assist you by determining whether alimony is appropriate, skillfully negotiating the case, filing an action and presenting your evidence in Court.
Annulment
It is possible to legally annul a marriage in the state of North Carolina based upon a few very specific reasons. For example, one spouse may seek to annul a marriage where the parties are closer in kin than first cousins or when the marriage was contracted under the belief that the wife was pregnant and no child was born within ten lunar months. Evans & Meads, PLLC is familiar with the grounds for annulment and the nuances of each ground. Our attorneys can advise you whether you qualify to seek relief and obtain the annulment if grounds exist.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person by resolving all claims and distributing the deceased person's property under a valid will or pursuant to NC intestacy statutes when there is no will. Probate generally lasts several months, and often over a year before all the property is distributed. Evans & Meads can assist you with this process by preparing all of the administration paperwork for you or by actually stepping in and acting as the administrator of the estate.
Wills
Estate Planning is important, no matter what the size of your estate may be. Through estate planning, you ensure that your assets will go to your intended beneficiaries. You also may save money on taxes, court costs and attorneys fees, and prevent fighting among your heirs after your death. You can also avoid probate in some cases. The estate planning process typically involves working with your financial, tax and legal advisors to develop a customized estate plan. Many estate plans include Last Wills and Testaments, Durable Powers of Attorney, Healthcare Powers of Attorney, Living Wills and Revocable and/or Irrevocable Trusts.
Trusts
Power of Attorney
Speeding, reckless driving and other minor traffic offenses can result in higher insurance premiums and even license revocation. Most cases can be handled without having the Defendant present in court if a power of attorney is executed.
Probate

Foreclosure
Foreclosure is the legal process whereby a lender or other lien holder take real property that has been put up as collateral to secure a debt owed to the lien holder. Foreclosure proceedings in North Carolina are handled by the Clerk of Court. Our firm has experience representing both the mortgagors and mortgagees in foreclosure proceedings.
