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 my spouse and I use the same divorce attorney?
No. Spouses who are in the process of separation or divorce have competing interests. Attorneys are prohibited by the North Carolina State Bar from representing both of you, even in the negotiation or preparation of a separation agreement. If you are presented with, or contemplating, a separation agreement or any type of legal document, you should have your own attorney review it to ensure that you fully understand the legal ramifications. You and your spouse can choose an attorney to serve as mediator in your case but you cannot share an advocate.
