A Caring Approach to Legal Representation

Divorce is painful and life-altering event. At The Chandler Law Firm, P.A., we understand that our clients are dealing with more than just legal issues when their marriage is coming to an end. We are committed to providing sound, objective guidance during an emotional time. By offering honest answers, realistic assessments and practical solutions, we will be there to help you through this time.

We offer comprehensive counsel on divorce and related issues, including:

• Property division: We will work to make certain that the division of property is fair. Our attorney will work closely with you to explain and help identify what property is marital and what is separate, so you will understand what you are entitled to receive. In addition, we will evaluate all of your properties, including real estate and business assets, identify any hidden assets and fight to maintain and preserve your property while the divorce matter is in litigation.
• Spousal support: There are two types of spousal support in North Carolina. Post-separation support, or PSS, is temporary and designed to allow a spouse to maintain his or her standard of living pending the divorce litigation. Alimony is permanent and may be awarded where a dependent spouse requires support on an ongoing basis. We will help you understand the factors that courts consider in granting either PSS or alimony and provide you a realistic assessment of potential outcomes.
• Child support and custody: In determining child custody and child support, the court is guided by the best interests of the children. At our firm, we work hard to make sure that your rights as a parent are protected. We are dedicated to finding a fair solution that serves the best interests of both you and your children.

If you come to us, we will first explore ways to resolve these issues amicably and efficiently. We know that, in many instances, the emotional and financial impact of a divorce can be lessened by working together. However, should litigation become necessary to protect your or your children's best interests, you can be assured we are prepared to take your case to court. With nearly a decade of litigation experience, Attorney Chandler has the perspective and insight to effectively represent you.
