Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
Can mediation resolve disputes about holiday custody schedules in NC?
Absolutely. In North Carolina, mediation is not only a great option for resolving disputes over holiday custody—it's encouraged. Courts prefer that parents work together to find solutions that prioritize the child’s well-being. Mediation offers a confidential, cooperative space to do just that.
During mediation, both parents work with a neutral third party to create or adjust a holiday custody schedule that works for everyone. This might involve trading off holidays each year, splitting specific days, or alternating long weekends.
The beauty of mediation is flexibility. Unlike court, where a judge may impose a one-size-fits-all solution, mediation lets you tailor the schedule to your family’s needs and traditions. If agreements are reached, they can be formalized into a legally binding order.
