Unlocking the magic of family law begins with a thorough understanding of the basics.
Learn the ins and outs of postseparation support and alimony, key components of civil procedure and discovery, elements of alienation of affection and criminal conversation claims, and the practice and procedure for appeals. But no foundation would be complete, of course, without a solid understanding of contempt, domestic violence and equitable distribution.
To be truly successful, you must hone the power of these family law concepts through practical application. Experienced practitioners share tips for drafting child custody orders and teach how to apply the NC Child Support Guidelines, how to make and defend objections, and how to use and present illustrative or summary exhibits.
Readers are equipped with the skills necessary to practice family law with confidence — no magic spells required.
