A Message from Mary

November reminds us of the importance of family, connection, and community.

 The holidays may look different during times of change, but they can also bring opportunities for new traditions. 

 

This month, we're sharing timely legal news, practical resources, and ways to give back. We're grateful for the trust you've placed in Triangle Divorce Lawyers and wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving.

North Carolina Law in the News

An $850,002 Verdict: Can You Sue Someone for an Affair?

A Davidson County jury recently awarded $850,002 in an affair-related lawsuit involving a former NASCAR driver.

 

North Carolina is one of the few states that still recognizes alienation of affection and criminal conversation, two civil claims involving interference in a marriage.

Holiday Parenting Plans: Three Things to Check

 

Sharing the holidays after separation or divorce? A little planning now can help avoid last-minute confusion.

 

Review your custody order.

Holiday schedules may differ from your regular parenting arrangements.

Confirm plans early.

Discuss pickup times, transportation, and travel arrangements.

Focus on the children.

Keep their needs and well-being at the center of holiday plans.

 

Remember: Holiday provisions in your custody order may take priority over your regular parenting schedule.

Trump Accounts: A New Way to Save for Children

Trump Accounts offer a new way to save for children under 18.

 

What families should know:

  • Eligible children born between 2025 and 2028 may receive a one-time $1,000 federal contribution.
  • Parents or guardians must request the contribution by submitting IRS Form 4547, even if an account was automatically opened.

“Trump Accounts are a simple way to start building savings for your child early, alongside a 529 education account. For new parents with a lot on their minds, Trump Accounts make it easier to start saving for the future.”
