I had an amazing experience with Cape Fear Family Law. My attorney, Melenni Balbach was amazing. She kept me in the loop every step of the way. If I had questions or concerns, she was there to answer them and alleviate my worries. She is well organized and very thorough. We just got out of court today and she was absolutely KILLED it in the court room. I had no idea what the outcome would be, but I had absolutely no doubt that I was in good hands with Melenni. She was an amazing person to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend Melenni to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

From my Husband- Roy Jacobs was the absolute best lawyer I could’ve asked for. He fought the most difficult fight for me and my daughter. With jurisdiction issues to many other issues, him or Azeala were one call away. My custody battle was long and extensive, and even though the case ultimately ended up closing in another state, he was there for every question I had through the process. He was understanding and wanted the same thing I wanted, my daughter to be safe. In the end, thanks to his help from day one, my daughter now has the safety and stability she deserves. I couldn’t thank you enough, Roy. I’d highly recommend getting Roy as your attorney!Thank you

I had the opportunity to work with Cape Fear Family Law during a difficult time in my life. Janet Gemmell and her team were efficient and professional every step of the way. Janet was spot-on from the beginning and I listened to her advice and guidance to help navigate my circumstances. She was truly amazing and supportive from all aspects of my situation. I could not recommend her and her team more. Thank you!
Areas Of Practice
Child custody and visitation are two of the most important issues that stem from a relationship failing, but they are not the only issues. Often with relationship dissolution the financial tensions are extreme. Managing retirement division through equitable distribution and cash flow between two homes through alimony is fraught with conflict. We take care to guide clients through the legal landscape, out of court negotiations, and in court processes that sometimes are needed when parties cannot agree.

Be kind to the other parent and let them have their own traditions with the kids. Recognize that moving your celebration by a day or so, making changes, or giving concessions is the Christmas spirit. Let’s focus on the children this season and make decisions with them in mind.
If you are lonely, feeling sad about a tradition delayed, or just need a pick me up - go ahead and watch some Arnold Schwarzenegger movies - just “Get to the Choppa” and Jingle All the Way (1996). #merrychristmas 🎅
Create traditions with your children this holiday season and don`t let inflation make you think Christmas is cancelled. You owe it to your children to get up, grab stuff from the Dollar Tree or a tube of sugar cookies and some springles and get to decorating!!! Give them your time!
Divorce can be the “End of an Error” .
