Melenni and the staff at Cape Fear Family Law were extremely helpful and supportive. I was always afraid that lawyers would try to milk me for every cent, and I never felt that way with Melenni or any one else I worked with at Cape Fear Family Law. I felt valued and understood, and everyone was kind, friendly, and compassionate. I HIGHLY recommend Cape Fear Family Law!

I am very pleased working with Granger Benson in my child custody and support case. It was not easy, however it is resolved now. Granger maintained a good communication with me and we discussed all the details and my concerns. He did a great job!

Kayleigh is by far the best! I met with her after I had met with 4 different lawyers and from the moment of consultation to the divorce she guided me through everything. She reassured me on different problems I had arise throughout this process. She answered every single one of my questions in ways that I understood and I felt confident going into this. She also told me when I was being unreasonable, and helped me put my mind on track and the end goal. Even while I was states away she took all the stress off of me for my breech of contract, and filing for divorce.

Allie Moore has been delightful to work with. She is very knowledgeable, responsive, and communicative. Once I contacted her, she immediately went to work on my case. Allie made could have been a long dragged out process one that went more smoothly than anticipated. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who is no nonsense, gives it to you straight and works diligently to get you the desired results, she’s your person.

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.
