Greensboro Divorce Attorneys: Family Law in North Carolina
COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE:
"A divorce does not have to be a financial and emotional blood-bath." Greensboro divorce attorney, M. Douglas Berry of Gabriel Berry Weston & Wells, L.L.P.
Divorce and separation are sometimes inevitable. My goal as a family law attorney is to provide professional guidance to enable my clients to move quickly through the emotional and legal thicket of divorce to achieve a fair and comprehensive settlement. My objective is to achieve a restructuring of family finances and responsibilities in order to assist individuals and families to move on constructively with their lives.
At Gabriel Berry Weston & Wells, L.L.P., we believe strongly that mediation and collaborative law are much more rational ways to deal with the restructuring of family finances and relationships that are necessitated by separation and divorce. At Gabriel Berry Weston & Wells, L.L.P. we are committed to the concept of collaborative law in order to provide a custom-tailored solution and atmosphere of mutual respect, professionalism, compassion and dignity in relation to divorce including a number of components including separation agreements and property settlement papers, custody agreements and ultimately a divorce.
Collaborative Divorce involves the process where specially trained attorneys work with clients who are both committed to dealing with the financial, emotional and legal aspects of separation, divorce and co-parenting in a constructive way.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
A domestic violence protective order is designed to give the local law enforcement and victims of domestic assault a means of stopping the violence. If you have been a victim of domestic violence, call M. Douglas Berry immediately in order to take steps to obtain a protective order to prevent further domestic violence.
ALIMONY:
Alimony payments made by a supporting spouse to a dependent spouse which are typically made in specified amounts over a specified term.
Generally alimony is based on a number of economic and financial considerations. To avoid an emotionally and financially exhausting court fight over alimony, most alimony cases are resolved by agreement of the parties, mediation or collaborative law process. A negotiated settlement can take advantage of tax considerations, offsets and other lump-sum transfers that can be made in lieu of any alimony obligations. Consult with us about the best way to handle your alimony issue.
ALIENATION OF AFFECTIONS & CRIMINAL CONVERSATION:
"Alienation of Affections" and "Criminal Conversation" are rather archaic words referring to the civil action for contributing to the break-up of a marriage and having sexual relations with a married person. For both alienation of affections and criminal conversations claims, punitive damages can also be recoverable.
