Divorce and Separation

Our family law attorneys provide experienced legal counsel to spouses who are going through a separation. Whether you and your partner wish to work on an Agreement or file for an Absolute Divorce, our lawyers can help ensure that your rights and best interests are protected during each stage of legal proceedings. We also provide experienced, skilled counsel in spousal support, child custody/support, property and earnings distribution, and all other relevant matters.

Child Custody and Child Support

In determining child custody issues, courts consider several factors, but the most important is what is in the child's best interest. Whether you are seeking physical custody, legal custody, or visitation of your child or children, the family law lawyers at Mako & Associates are intimately familiar with North Carolina custody laws and can provide you with the skilled representation you need.

The parent that does not obtain primary physical custody of the children is generally required to pay child support.  Custody and support are treated as two separate issues independent of each other in NC courts. Our child support and child custody lawyers will work tirelessly to ensure that you and your children’s rights are protected. Contact our practice in Wilmington, North Carolina to schedule a thorough review of your case.

Juvenile Law

If your child has committed an infraction and has a case in the juvenile justice system, our juvenile lawyers can provide the representation your child and family need. Juvenile law is different from adult criminal law in that juvenile offenders are often given greater chances for rehabilitation, drug therapy and other forms of treatment, and redemption. Our juvenile attorneys will work to ensure that your child is treated with fairness and that the charges against him/her are reduced, if appropriate, or probationary terms are ordered which will help said child towards rehabilitation.

Adoption

The adoption lawyers at Mako & Associates have the skill and experience to successfully guide families through this hugely rewarding, yet often challenging process. Adoption paperwork and laws can be confusing and complex, especially in out of state cases, but our adoption attorneys will do everything within their abilities to make sure that your adoption proceedings go as smoothly as possible.
