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 North Carolina courts handle child custody violations during the holiday season?
When one parent refuses to follow a custody order during the holidays, courts in North Carolina can act quickly — especially if the violation is intentional.
A judge can hold the violating parent in contempt of court, which may lead to fines, make-up parenting time, or, in extreme cases, jail time.
If the violation causes emotional distress or disrupts the child’s stability, that behavior could also impact future custody decisions.
The key is to document everything and work with an attorney familiar with Mecklenburg County’s family court system — they can move swiftly to enforce your rights.
