Common Family Law Questions from Burke County Residents

Our attorneys are here to answer all your family law questions and provide insight based on your specific circumstances. Here are answers to some of the questions we frequently encounter from our clients in Burke County:

What Should I Expect During a Divorce?

Divorce can be a challenging process, but our team at Daly Mills Family Law is here to guide you through each step, whether your divorce is contested or uncontested. Here’s what to expect:

• Contested Divorce: When couples disagree on significant issues—like asset division or custody—we represent your interests in negotiation or, if necessary, in court, advocating for a fair and balanced resolution.
• Uncontested Divorce: For couples who agree on divorce terms, we streamline the process, ensuring that all paperwork and legal requirements are efficiently managed, so you can focus on the future.

Our divorce services are designed to protect your rights and minimize stress, providing the clarity and support you need during this transition.

How Is Child Custody Determined in Burke County?

Child custody decisions are focused on the best interests of the child. At Daly Mills Family Law, we help Burke County parents establish custody arrangements that meet the needs of the child and support healthy family relationships.

• Physical Custody: We assist in creating schedules that determine where the child will live and how parenting time will be shared, fostering a stable and nurturing environment.
• Legal Custody: Legal custody involves decision-making authority for the child’s education, healthcare, and upbringing. We work to develop balanced arrangements that allow both parents to play an active role.

Our approach to custody is collaborative and child-centered, ensuring that each arrangement provides stability, security, and a supportive framework for your child’s future.

How Is Child Support Calculated and Enforced?

Child support is essential to a child’s well-being, ensuring they have the financial resources needed for their health, education, and development. Daly Mills Family Law assists parents in Burke County with child support matters, from initial calculations to enforcement.

• Establishing Support: Using North Carolina’s guidelines, we help calculate child support amounts based on each parent’s income, the child’s needs, and other relevant factors.
• Modifications and Adjustments: If life circumstances change—such as a significant shift in income—our attorneys can help you seek a modification to ensure child support remains fair.
• Enforcement of Support Orders: When a parent is not meeting their court-ordered support obligations, we provide enforcement services to secure the financial support your child is owed.

We work to establish and uphold fair child support arrangements that honor the needs of the child while respecting the financial situations of both parents.

What Is Included in a Separation Agreement?

A separation agreement provides a clear framework for financial and family responsibilities while you and your spouse are living apart. Our attorneys at Daly Mills Family Law help Burke County couples draft separation agreements that are comprehensive and legally binding.

• Property and Asset Division: We work with clients to develop fair agreements on dividing marital property and managing shared debts, establishing a solid financial foundation during separation.
• Spousal Support: Our attorneys assist with establishing fair spousal support arrangements, ensuring both parties have the resources needed during this transition.
• Child Custody and Support Terms: For parents, separation agreements include terms for custody and support, creating stability and consistency for the child.

A well-constructed separation agreement clarifies each party’s responsibilities and prevents future disputes, providing security for both spouses as they move forward.

I cannot stress how much of a lovely experience I had with Danielle Feller at Daly Mills. I had gone to another attorney before her and basically paid $1500 to be told they couldn't help me. Danielle cleaned up that mess and completed the rest of the estate work. She was amazing at communication. I not once had to reach out and request her follow up.She is also just a kind and easy to work with person. I've not worked with many attorneys in my life but I was nervous about the whole thing. She took a mess of a situation that had been stressing me out and exhausting me for the better part of a year + and resolved it.While I hope I never need help with estate matters again, I cannot reccomend this law office enough. If you want a competent attorney who is also thorough and kind, this is the place.

Miranda and her team were amazing to me! I was always kept up to date with my case, they always answered any questions I had, and Miranda was always thoroughly prepared. She has walked me through every step of my case and thanks to her and her team, we are preparing for my husband to adopt my oldest child! I would highly recommend Miranda and Daly Mills Family Law.

When my dad passed unexpectedly and without a will, I was lost. It was by chance, and I think fate, that I ran across Danielle and Nicole. They took care of everything that legally needed to be done. At one point, I sent Danielle a message on a Sunday not expecting a reply until at least Monday. She answered me right away. That was impressive!My business with them just came to a close ... that part is kind of sad. Competent, friendly and supportive. I would highly recommend their services.

I have had a great experience working with Danielle Feller and would highly recommend her expertise. Danielle is kind, detailed, sharp and very thorough. She is a hard worker and very prompt with her responses. I always enjoyed interacting with her over many months. Her sister Nicole who also works at Daly Mills in the front office is also a delight and very helpful. Everyone here seemed very professional and I would not hesitate to partner with their office again in the future.

Daly Mills Family law firm was appointed by a judge to handle my sister's estate. Danielle Feller represented us through the 10 month seamless process. From our first meeting she laid out what she needed from us and what we were going to expect. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants the best outcome for them. She and her bubbly receptionist, Nicole were able to balance empathy for our situation and being professional at getting the job done. Truly the best family lawyer I have worked with! I have recommended her countless times to friends, family and fellow bankers in the area, and I highly recommend her to anyone searching for the best family lawyer.-Michele W.

My husband and I searched and searched for an Estate planning Attorney that would make sense, explain and change some of the documents we had from two previous attorneys. Someone was looking out for us the day I found Daly Mills.Danielle Feller was just what we were looking for. Compassionate, intelligent , extremely organized the list goes on and on. We now can rest, reassured that everything is in order. We can’t speak highly enough of her staff. They created a warm inviting atmosphere that says…you are in good hands here at Daly Mills.
