The bond between a mother and her child, and the time they spend together, is priceless. During a divorce, it can feel as if that precious time is under threat. Terms such as “sole custody” and “visitation” often intensify a mother’s worst fears. Although mothers have unique challenges in family law cases, it is essential to remember that the law is gender blind. In North Carolina, the mother and father are granted equal custody rights of a child until a written agreement or court order has been completed.
This is the first step toward securing your confidential consultation with an experienced attorney by phone, virtually, or in-office.

When a court decides which parent should have custody of a child, they will base their decision on what is believed to be best for the child. Although no preference is given to the mother or father in North Carolina, the courts consider multiple factors when determining custody agreements. Considerations include issues such as the:
In some cases, the court will call for testimony from people with close relationships to the child, such as family members or teachers, to provide insight into any of the factors outlined above. A mothers’ rights lawyer at King Law can help protect you and provide you with the peace of mind you need and deserve.
