A Message from Mary Gurganus

 

May is a season of transition for many North Carolina families, especially as summer custody schedules, travel plans, finances, separation, and divorce questions begin to surface.

 

In this issue of The Partner Post, you’ll find referral-friendly resources, North Carolina family law articles, and upcoming networking opportunities to share with clients, colleagues, and community connections.

 

If someone in your network needs a trusted family law resource in Raleigh, Cary, Wake Forest, Clayton, or surrounding areas, Triangle Divorce Lawyers would be honored to help point them in the right direction.

As summer approaches, many North Carolina families are reviewing custody schedules, parenting plans, vacation time, travel details, and next steps related to separation or divorce.

 

As a referral partner, you may hear questions like:

 

How do summer custody schedules work in North Carolina?
What happens if parents disagree about summer travel?
Should someone speak with a family law attorney before moving out?
Where can someone start if they are not ready to hire an attorney?

 

If someone in your network is asking these questions, you do not need to have the answers. You can connect them with a trusted North Carolina family law resource or share free educational resources like Second Saturday Wake County.

This article explains how military retirement benefits may be divided, why both federal and North Carolina divorce rules matter, and why precise court orders are important.

 

Who this may help:
Service members, military spouses, financial advisors, therapists, real estate professionals, and anyone supporting a family where military benefits may be part of a separation or divorce conversation.
