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 legal steps should I take to enforce a spousal support order before the New Year?
If you’re owed spousal support, the end of the year often makes the missed payments feel even heavier — and you don’t have to just wait it out.
In North Carolina, you can:
- Document every missed or partial payment.
- Send a written demand for payment (email works — we like clear paper trails).
- File a Motion for Contempt if the non-payment continues.
- Ask the court for:
- payment of arrears
- wage garnishment
- attorney’s fees
- additional sanctions if the violation is willful
