Summer often brings schedule changes for many families, making it especially important to stay informed about upcoming custody hearings, filing deadlines, and court dates in Onslow County.

Whether you`re dealing with a custody modification, temporary custody order, contempt matter, or an emergency parenting dispute, preparing before your hearing can make a significant difference.

Missing paperwork, incomplete documentation, or waiting too long to respond may negatively affect your case.

Questions about an upcoming custody hearing in North Carolina? Cape Fear Family Law is here to help you understand the process and prepare for your case.

🇺🇸 Received PCS orders this summer? Don`t assume your custody order changes automatically.

For military families, a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) can create major questions about parenting time, relocation, and child custody. But in North Carolina, PCS orders alone do not modify an existing custody order.

Knowing your rights—and taking action early—can help avoid unnecessary conflict and protect your relationship with your children.

In our latest blog, Attorney Waneta Ellis explains what Camp Lejeune service members and military families should know before relocating this summer.

🌎 "Just because a parent moves doesn`t mean North Carolina loses jurisdiction."

We hear this misconception all the time.

When one parent relocates out of state, many families assume custody and child support matters automatically move with them. In reality, North Carolina courts may still have authority depending on the existing court orders, the child`s connections to the state, and other legal factors.

⚖️ Jurisdiction issues can become complicated quickly—and mistakes can lead to delays, increased costs, and unnecessary stress.

If your family is dealing with an interstate custody or support matter, understanding where your case belongs is one of the most important first steps.

✈️ Quick question for co-parents:

Have you reviewed your custody order before booking summer travel?

Many parents are surprised to learn that their agreement may contain specific requirements for vacations, out-of-state trips, travel notices, or passport permissions.

The best time to address travel concerns is before the bags are packed.
