Core Family Law Services
Our attorneys have significant experience in family law matters and the North Carolina court system. Our core family law services include:
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements offer key legal protections and reduce the need for legal intervention in case of divorce. However, those agreements should protect both parties’ interests. Our firm can draft, review, and negotiate prenups and postnups to ensure a fair division of property and other key matters.
Separation
Choosing to separate from your spouse can be a difficult decision. When and how you initiate the separation can significantly impact your case. While North Carolina doesn’t require legal separation or separation agreements before filing for divorce, working with a family law attorney can be helpful. Separation agreements can set guidelines for how debts and bills will be handled, protect your inheritance rights, and temporarily resolve issues like spousal and child support, custody, and more. Our firm can help you file for legal separation or create a separation agreement that protects your best interests.
Divorce
Filing for divorce isn’t just emotionally charged—it can dramatically affect your income, property rights, lifestyle, and other factors. Greene Wilson & Styron, P.A. helps clients meet North Carolina divorce deadlines and filing requirements. We’ll listen to your concerns, explain the law, and offer personalized legal guidance throughout your case.
Working with a divorce attorney can reduce stress and eliminate the need for communication with your estranged spouse. Whether your divorce is resolved through agreement, mediation, or litigation, we’ll work tirelessly to help you get a fair result.
Child Custody and Visitation
Custody and visitation matters can be complicated. There are two main types of custody: physical and legal. Parents can have either joint or sole custody for either or both types.
Most people are familiar with physical custody, which includes where the child lives and their schedule. Legal custody is the right to make decisions for your child, such as where they go to school, how they’re raised, what kind of medical care they receive, and more.
North Carolina family courts award rights based on the child’s best interests. Presenting a strong, persuasive case can demonstrate that you’re prepared to take on joint or full custody. If your child’s other parent is unsuitable for custody or visitation, we’ll offer evidence to support your claim. We can also help you modify existing custody and visitation agreements. Modifications are common when life situations change, such as needing to move for a job.
Whatever your custody goals, our attorneys will treat your case with the utmost respect and the seriousness it deserves.
Child Support
Child support helps both parents financially contribute to their child’s upbringing. Our attorneys can explain what you may be entitled to receive or expect to pay and advocate for an equitable result that protects your child’s best interests.
Spousal Support and Alimony
North Carolina law allows for two types of spousal support: post-separation support and alimony. Either spouse can request support, regardless of their gender, and the courts will evaluate the request on a case-by-case basis. Judges consider factors like your earnings and ability to earn. They also consider whether the dependent spouse engaged in “marital misconduct,” which can affect the amount of support or whether it is awarded at all.
Greene Wilson & Styron, P.A. will help you evaluate the likelihood of paying or receiving support and prepare a compelling case in your favor.
Property Division
The longer you’ve been married, the more difficult property division can be. Our firm will help you disentangle assets and argue for a fair division. Whether your divorce involves real estate, retirement funds and pensions, inheritances, family businesses, or other property, we’ll fight for your best interests.
Domestic Violence and Protective Orders
Domestic violence poses a serious threat to your and your children’s lives. If you need help extricating yourself from a dangerous situation, trust our attorneys to prioritize your safety and assertively advocate for your needs. Our firm can help you obtain protective orders and show evidence of domestic abuse to support your divorce or custody case.

In addition to our core services, our firm also handles adoptions, paternity issues, grandparents’ rights, and more. If you don’t see your specific issue on our website, reach out to us to find out how we can help.
