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.
What are my rights as a father in a North Carolina custody case?
Let’s be clear: North Carolina law does not favor moms over dads. What the court cares about is what’s best for the child — and dads have every right to pursue custody, whether joint or full.
As a father, you have the right to:
- Seek equal time or primary custody, just like the mother.
- Be heard in court — the judge will look at your involvement, the child’s needs, and the family dynamic.
- Be proactive: Show you're engaged in your child’s life — school, doctor’s appointments, bedtime routines.
What matters most is demonstrating your commitment to your child’s well-being. And yes — dads win custody in NC every day.
