TV shows aren’t real life, but you know what’s true? 📺⚖️

In a custody case, the judge isn’t there to take sides. Not mom’s side, not dad’s side. In North Carolina, custody decisions are based on one thing: the best interest of the child.

That means the court looks at what truly supports your child’s well-being, stability and safety, not who has the more dramatic story. Courtroom drama might make great TV, but real custody cases are about your child’s needs.

Every situation is different. If you’re facing a custody case, talk to a NC Board Certified Specialist in Family Law first.

The world feels a little less bright today.

Dolly Parton was more than a legendary entertainer. She was a songwriter, entrepreneur, philanthropist, dreamer, and a woman who never seemed to believe she had to choose between being kind and being powerful.

She came from humble beginnings and built an extraordinary life without ever forgetting where she came from. She made people laugh. She gave generously. She opened doors. She encouraged children to read. And she showed generations of women that you could be ambitious, smart, feminine, funny, strong—and completely yourself.

There will never be another Dolly.

Thank you for the music, the laughter, the generosity, and the example you set for all of us. Rest in peace, Dolly Parton. ❤️

Celebrating a big win at McIlveen Family Law Firm! 🎉

Please join me in congratulating Ashley Prince, Joshua Finney, and Kisha Patel — they are now North Carolina State Bar Board Certified Family Law Specialists.

What does “board certified” mean? In plain English: it’s a credential that recognizes attorneys who have substantial experience in family law, complete extensive continuing education, go through peer review, and pass a specialty exam — it’s one of the highest distinctions a lawyer can earn in North Carolina.

We’re proud to serve families across Charlotte, Gastonia, and Raleigh (and throughout North Carolina), and we’re even prouder of the excellence and heart these three bring to our clients every day. ❤️

Drop a 👏 below to help me congratulate them!
