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 do custody agreements address holiday schedules like Halloween in NC?
In North Carolina, custody agreements often include detailed holiday visitation schedules, and Halloween can definitely be included—even though it’s not considered a "major holiday" by default. If Halloween is meaningful to your family, it can be specifically addressed in your custody plan. For example, you might agree to alternate Halloween each year, split the evening so both parents get time for trick-or-treating, or assign it to the parent who lives in the child’s primary neighborhood.
Pro tip: Always think from your child’s perspective—what creates consistency, fun, and safety for them? Your parenting agreement can be as detailed as needed to reflect your traditions.
