Protecting children’s interests during and after divorce

Manning Law Firm in Raleigh, North Carolina, shares your concern for the well-being of your children. The decisions made in a divorce and the parents’ and attorneys’ conduct during the proceedings can have a lifetime emotional impact on your children.

Whenever possible, T. Taylor Manning encourages resolving child custody, visitation and support without animosity or court intervention, which can be costly. However, some situations dictate resolving child-related disputes in court. Attorney Manning is experienced in family trial work and, should it become necessary, he is prepared to zealously advocate your position in court.

Ensuring appropriate custody arrangements

A number of custody options are available. Attorney Manning helps parents understand the many aspects of custody and to decide which option best suits the family's needs. He helps with difficult custody cases, including those involving mentally ill or unfit parents, sexual abuse allegations, relocation requests and college support.

In addition to handling custody matters, the law firm helps parents negotiate visitation agreements tailored to their schedules and their children’s best interests.

Child support you can live with

A divorce agreement should adequately provide for the financial needs of you and your children. While North Carolina requires certain amounts be paid based upon income and the number of children in the family, an experienced child support attorney such as T. Taylor Manning can introduce evidence that can influence a final support determination.

He advises whether clients are receiving too little or paying too much in child support based on a thorough investigation of parents’ income, including tax forms, bank records, business records, investments and other documents.

If your child support matter cannot be settled amicably, Attorney Manning will aggressively represent you in court.

When circumstances change and require modification of support or custody agreements, Attorney Manning helps obtain appropriate court orders. Changing circumstances include a parent or former spouse losing a job or obtaining a promotion, an inheritance, medical expenses, education expenses, and other special needs.

He also assists in ensuring support orders are properly enforced.
