Dasher Law, PLLC North and South Carolina client representation in family law, collaborative divorce law, and wills

09/22/2026

North Carolina could soon see major changes to its divorce laws. State lawmakers are considering Senate Bill 626, which would cut the mandatory separation period for divorce from one year down to six months.

Under the proposal, couples could divorce immediately if the split is uncontested with no child custody disputes, or if domestic violence is involved.

Having served as a court-appointed advocate for children in high-conflict custody battles, Catherine Smith saw firsthand the "permanent fissures" created by traditional litigation. This experience fueled a passion for the collaborative process—a team-based approach that prioritizes the family’s long-term health over "winning" a legal battle.

A graduate of the University of Georgia School of Law and UNC Asheville, Ms. Smith is a proud member of the Charlotte Collaborative Divorce Professionals. She is a great source of support for her clients and efficiently helps craft resolutions that allow parents to one day sit side-by-side at their child’s graduation with peace and pride.

We believe your private life should stay private. By choosing the collaborative process, you move your negotiations behind closed doors. Instead of airing your life in a public court file, you can speak freely and honestly in a confidential setting. This protection of privacy does more than just shield your data; it preserves your dignity and allows you to resolve conflict without the pressure of public scrutiny.

We are committed to helping you maintain control over who knows your story. Keeping your case out of the courthouse isn't just about secrecy. It’s about creating a safe space where real resolution can happen.

Want to learn more about privacy within the confines of collaborative law? Reach out to us today to discuss how we can help you resolve your matter discreetly and with integrity.

Alimony claims are examined and adjudicated differently on either side of the state line. North Carolina typically focuses on the "supporting vs. dependent" spouse model, where the court determines if one spouse is unable to maintain his or her standard of living without the other’s income. In South Carolina, the approach is broader, with judges currently evaluating proposed 2026 reform factors that place a high premium on the length of the marriage and the specific path toward financial independence.

Because these legal nuances are so significant, our firm is uniquely positioned to help. We have attorneys licensed in both North Carolina and South Carolina who are actively practicing family law in both jurisdictions. This dual-state perspective allows us to guide you through the complexities of your specific claim with the precision and integrity you deserve. We would love the opportunity to review the details of your situation and discuss how we can help you move forward with confidence.

Ready for a clear perspective on your possible alimony claim? Reach out to us today to schedule a consultation and let our depth of multi-state knowledge work for you.

Integrity is our North Star.

In the world of family law, it’s easy to focus on the "win" and forget the human beings behind the paperwork.

We do things differently.

We believe that a successful negotiation isn’t built on clever maneuvers or hidden agendas, but on a foundation of unwavering integrity.

When you work with us, you aren't just getting legal representation; you are choosing a partner who prioritizes radical transparency and honest communication at every turn. We focus on the high road because we know that settlements built on the truth are the only ones that truly stand the test of time.

By holding ourselves—and the process—to a higher standard of ethics, we ensure that you can move into your next chapter with your dignity intact and your values honored. At our firm, integrity isn't just a policy; it’s the commitment we make to your future.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a battleground.

When we think about divorce, we often think of the financial cost. But for many, the emotional cost is far heavier. Traditional litigation is designed to be adversarial, creating "winners" and "losers," often leaving both spouses exhausted and resentful. Collaborative law offers a different path, protecting your family's emotional well-being. A marriage dissolution via the collaborative approach:

Preserves Relationships: By prioritizing respectful communication, you can transition from "spouses" to "co-parents" without destroying the foundation of your family.

Privacy & Dignity: Keep your private life out of a public courtroom. Discussions happen in a safe, confidential setting.

Reduced Anxiety: You have a voice in the outcome. Instead of a judge making life-altering decisions for you, you and your partner work toward a solution that fits your unique needs.

A Focus on the Future: Instead of rehashing past grievances for a legal win, the collaborative process focuses on how everyone can move forward in a healthy manner.

The Bottom Line: Choosing collaborative law isn’t just a legal strategy; it’s an investment in your peace of mind and your family’s future.

Ready to prioritize your peace? Let’s discuss whether the collaborative process is right for you.
