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.
How can I plan summer vacations with my children under a custody agreement in NC?
Planning summer vacations when you share custody can feel like a logistics puzzle — but it’s one that can be solved with a little foresight and communication. In North Carolina, your custody order typically outlines how summer break is divided. Some agreements give each parent a block of uninterrupted vacation time (like two weeks), while others alternate weeks or continue the school-year schedule.
To keep things smooth:
- Communicate early with the other parent about your travel plans.
- Put your plans in writing (email works!) to avoid confusion.
- Stick to the court order — even if the kids really want to go to Disney with you during the other parent’s week.
If your current custody order doesn’t address summer or needs a tweak, a modification might be possible — especially if both parties agree.
