Asheville Child Support Lawyer

Child custody and child support are very emotional issues for parents. If you are facing a legal dispute regarding parenting time and the welfare of your child, you need the attentive, knowledgeable support of an experienced lawyer you can trust. At the Moore Law Office, that is the service we provide.

The lawyers at our Asheville, North Carolina, firm have been representing the interests of parents for over 45 years. Trust us to be strong advocates on your behalf for the best interests of your children. Contact us today to arrange an initial consultation.

Our firm is able to handle all parenting related family law matters, including:

• Child custody
• Child support
• Child visitation
• Paternity
• Custody and support modification
• Custody, visitation, and support enforcement

In North Carolina, child custody is determined according to a standard based on the best interests of the child. Who understands more than you what is in your child's best interests? The courts in this area typically attempt to arrange sharing arrangements with the children in joint custody agreements, but every case is unique. 

By attempting to resolve parenting issues through the mediation process, you are able to have more input on exactly how that time is divided, without being handed a decree by a judge. We will guide you through this process. However, if the need for litigation arises, our attorneys will confidently and aggressively advocate on your behalf in court.

North Carolina child support guidelines calculate payments according to the combined incomes of the parents and the percentage of the total income each parent earns. Other factors include the number of children, whether one spouse provides health insurance, daycare costs, the number of overnights each parent has with the child, and if one parent has biological children outside of the marriage for whom they are the primary caregiver. We will listen to your individual situation and explain how the guidelines apply to your case.

If enforcement or modifications of prior orders become necessary after the divorce due to relocation or one parent's refusal to fulfill support obligations, we can represent you in that case as well.

As a father and daughter team, we understand the importance of your relationship with your child and the impact this case has on your life. Contact us today for compassionate support and committed advocacy in your custody or support case.
