Consult with a family law attorney as soon as possible. You may need to obtain evidence of the affair, and you may need professional assistance to obtain that evidence. In North Carolina, evidence of an affair is most relevant if it is obtained before a couple separates. So, as difficult as it may be not to immediately confront your spouse when you have good cause to suspect an affair, your interests may be best-served by first consulting with a family law attorney and obtaining the necessary evidence before giving your spouse any reason to believe you are aware of the affair.

The resolution of family law matters is almost entirely personality-driven. If the two parties to any family law matter are reasonable and motivated to find a resolution, the matter may be resolved quickly and for relatively limited expense. If, however, either party to a family law issue is unreasonable and motivated by something other than a desire to resolve the issues at hand, the matter may not be resolved quickly, and the cost of resolving the matter may be greater. It is also not uncommon for individuals directly involved in family law matters to begin the process with the best of intentions but to harden their positions as the issues are more fully explored. For these reasons, it is impossible to predict at the outset how easily any given family law matter will be resolved and, therefore, how much the resolution will cost. Nevertheless, Brian and Chellie never take the expense of divorce for granted and always seek to achieve cost-effective results for their clients.

Brian and Chellie bill for initial consultations at their regular hourly rates, and any prospective clients will be informed of their regular hourly rates at the time they schedule their first appointment.
