Children of divorce and separation need to know where they will stay and who will raise, love, and guide them every day. At Epperson Law Group, PLLC, we’ve earned the respect of former clients who needed to ensure their marital property is divided equitably, alimony is paid when necessary, child custody orders are entered, and child support orders are enforced. Our Concord family law attorneys help you protect yourself and your family. Contact us today to get started.

How can we help?

Areas of Focus

What kinds of family law cases do you handle?

At Epperson Law Group, PLLC, we represent clients in all types of family-related matters including the following:

Our Concord family lawyers handle every aspect of family law including advising you about your rights, explaining your options, prioritizing your needs, and working to show a court how your children’s best interests are aligned with yours.

How does child custody work in Concord?

There are two types of custody in North Carolina. Legal custody determines which parent makes long-term decisions about the health and welfare of their children. These decisions include which doctors your child will see, which schools your child will attend, and what religious guidance your child will receive. Physical custody determines where your child will reside each day of the year.

Our Concord family law attorneys will explain what factors determine legal and physical custody. We’re skilled at negotiating child custody agreements and skilled at arguing your rights to custody in court. Normally, both types of custody (legal and physical) can be joint or one parent can have sole custody.

Parenting plans

At Epperson Law Group, PLLC, we’re also skilled at negotiating parenting plans. These plans address such issues as the visitation rights of parents, how your children are transferred from one parent to another, who and how the child will be disciplined, how the child gets to and from school, how childcare is handled, how disputes will be resolved, who spends time with your child during holidays, communication by one parent with the parent who has physical custody on any given day, and many other issues.

Child custody disputes

We also handle:

  • Requests to change child custody orders due to relocation or other causes
  • Enforcement of child custody agreements or orders
  • The rights of grandparents to custody or visitation
  • Child custody when one parent is in the military
  • Other custody issues that may arise until your child turns 18

How much child support should my children receive?

Both parents in North Carolina must support their children until they turn 18. The amount of support that one parent (normally, the parent with less physical custody) pays the other is based on the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines. The factors that determine the amount of child support include the income of the parents, the living arrangements, the regular expense needs of the child, any special needs such as braces or private school tuition, and the other financial obligations of each parent. Generally, the focus is on the income of each parent and not how each parent spends their money.

Our Concord family law attorneys help negotiate or litigate the amount of child support that is due. We also handle requests to modify a child support order and the enforcement of child support when the obligor parent is in arrears.

Can you help me with a paternity issue?

Yes. Our Concord family lawyers represent parents when the paternity of a child is disputed. Normally, paternity is determined by DNA tests. We represent mothers seeking to confirm paternity, fathers seeking to legitimize their status as a parent, and fathers who contest paternity.

We also handle the corresponding child custody and child support issues when the paternity of a child is confirmed.

Can you help me with an adoption?

Yes.

Adoption is the legal process that creates a legal parent/child relationship between an adopting parent and a child. Our Concord family lawyers handle adoptions involving stepchildren, newborns, grandparents, and foster children. We also handle adoptions involving private agencies, foreign adoptions, same-sex adoptions, adults, and all other types of adoptions.

We’ll file the correct forms, explain how the process works, review whether the rights of biological parents must be terminated, what criteria the courts in Cabarrus County use to approve adoptions, and what happens at any judicial hearings. We’ll also explain your rights and obligations once the adoption of your child is approved.

What other issues do your Concord family law attorneys handle?

Some of the many other family law issues our Concord lawyers handle include:

  • How disputes are resolved
  • Domestic violence protective orders (DVPOs)
  • Domestic issues and bankruptcy
  • Domestic issues and estate planning
  • Tax issues for spouses and parents
  • Military alimony and military child support

Why should I choose the Concord family lawyers of Epperson Law Group?

Experience matters. The more family law cases a firm handles, the more the family lawyers will know what factors really determine how your disputes are resolved and which factors judges favor. Decades of experience and a record of strong settlements and court decisions help persuade opposing spouses and their lawyers that negotiation, not confrontation, is in everyone’s best interest.

At Epperson Law Group, PLLC, we understand the practical and legal issues that resolve disputes. We’ll guide you by:

  • Explaining your rights
  • Identifying all the assets and factors that affect each type of family law issue you have
  • Prioritizing your needs and the needs of your children
  • Anticipating and countering the arguments your spouse and their lawyer will assert
  • Working with alternative dispute specialists
  • Helping you and your children obtain counseling when that would be helpful
  • Understanding all the small problems that can escalate into large disputes
  • Litigating your family disputes when settlements can’t be reached
  • Protecting you and your children
