Father Gets Sole Custody After Mother Goes MIA

Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Sole Custody - Legal and Physical Custody Awarded County: Guilford County A father in Guilford County needed to modify the child custody order for his children. The mother had been absent from the children's lives for about a year now, so he wanted to see about getting sole legal and physical custody of both minor children. He felt it didn't make sense to continue sharing legal and physical custody with the mother even though she was completely missing from the children's lives. So, he met with our Greensboro family law team to discuss his options. Challenges with Getting the Opposing Party Served A big challenge our team faced, in this case, was a procedural one -- getting the other party served. The mother was missing, and they didn't have any contact information for her. Our family law team and our client [...]

With Remote Learning Concerns, Mother Fights to Maintain Primary Custody

Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Primary Physical Custody Awarded County: Guilford County Our Greensboro family law team recently represented a mother who had been the primary caretaker of both of her young girls. The mother had been most involved with the major aspects of their lives, such as schooling and medical visits. Remote Learning, Custody Schedules, and Tech Resources However, a significant concern the mother had was the father's ability to help their oldest daughter with remote learning. Her daughter was just about to start Kindergarten and it would be held online due to COVID-19. Our client knew that the current custody schedule of the father having the girls two nights per week was ideal, but the father wanted more. As a result, our client was potentially facing having less time with her girls per week, despite being their primary caretaker. And, her kindergartener's quality of [...]

Unjust Drug Trafficking Charges To Be Dismissed

Our client was facing several felony drug charges including drug trafficking charges in heroin and opium. Under that charge alone, she was up against a mandatory 18-year minimum prison sentence. But, she was likely facing a 22-year prison sentence if convicted. Her bond was set at 1.5 million dollars. Learn how our attorney was able to get the drug trafficking charges dismissed. Getting the Drug Trafficking Charges Dismissed Upon accepting the case, our criminal defense attorney in Greensboro got to work right away.

Victory – Fathers’ Visitation Restored

Our Dummit Fradin family law attorney won a Motion for Contempt in Greensboro and restored visitation of a one-year-old baby to her father. What is a Motion for Contempt? After a final court order in a family law case, both parties must abide by the agreed terms in the court order. If either party refuses or fails to comply with any portion of the court order, the second party can file a motion for contempt. The motion basically forces the non-compliant party to abide by the court order or they could face jail time or fines.

Hero Defense Attorney Rescues Father from False Assault on a Female Charges

Sometimes, a case walks in your door and you have almost no time to prepare in order to achieve the best outcome. That's exactly what happened to one hero defense attorney here at Dummit Fradin. With only four hours to prepare, he was able to secure a not-guilty verdict in a complicated Assault on a Female case in Guilford County. The Case: An Argument Between Dad and Daughter This case truly began a decade earlier with an escalating custody dispute between our soon-to-be client and his ex. Unfortunately, their daughter was caught in the middle feeling as though she needed to show loyalty to one parent over the other. As teens tend to do, she often sided with the more lenient parent.

Victory – Child Custody Modification

A Dummit Fradin family law attorney in Greensboro was successful in arguing a child custody modification/ relocation case, in which her client wanted to relocate to Florida with the parties’ five minor children. The family attorney successfully argued that due to the strong bond between the children and their mother, extended family available as support in Florida and a past history of domestic violence between the parents, it was in the best interest of the children to live in Florida with their mother rather than in North Carolina, where they have lived most of their lives.
