Family Lawyer in Fayetteville, NC

Resolution Without Going to Court

Blackwell & Edwards handles a wide variety of family law issues, from spousal support to child support to property division.

A practice called Collaborative Family Law (CFL) can spare you and your family time, money and stress by avoiding court, and embracing a collaborative rather than adversarial solution to the legal issues that arise as a relationship ends.

CFL is driven by family law attorneys who encourage both parties to come a resolution out of court through good faith efforts, over the course of a series of meetings.

If CFL doesn't allow the parties to come to a resolution, they can file a lawsuit in court, but any discussions and negotiations during the CFL process are inadmissible.

"Mr. Edwards gave me excellent representation! I always felt he was available to listen to me and answer all of the questions that I had. He seemed to care about my individual case, and I could always count on him to be prepared and ready for our appointments.

Mr. Edwards was extremely knowledgeable and obviously has had a ton of experience with family law. His staff is also wonderful. Diane (his front office person) was so kind and pleasant every time I was there. She always greeted me with a smile and helped ease my nerves and anxiety.
