Dealing with a divorce case is difficult for anyone, but when you have children during the marriage, there are other complex measures to consider. Special needs children can have a lot of emotional trauma from a divorce, which makes child custody arrangements even more challenging. Finding the right North Carolina divorce attorney to assist with your divorce and assist with a proper special needs child custody case comes down to experience, empathy, and compassion.

We know children with special needs require more hands-on care for many aspects of their lives and we work hard to help you and your former spouse come to an amicable resolution.
North Carolina parents must consider all the needs of their children prior to filing for child custody. It is important that both parents work together to discuss those needs and focus on creating a stable foundation for their child.

Special Needs Divorce Agreement
Care must be given pertaining to many of the issues children with special needs face. Guardianship, eligibility for quasi-government or private agency benefits, employment needs, recreation and social skills, custodial care requirements, and independent living are all included in the divorce case with a special needs child. Unlike a traditional child custody case, parents of special needs children need to consider life-long care for their children, not just ending child support and custody needs like a traditional child custody case.
Alimony for Special Needs Divorce
A special needs child custody case does consider the needs for alimony based on the child’s eligibility for public benefits. SSI and Medicaid will be reviewed with a “means test” of the custodial parent. During the divorce process, it is vital to have government benefits reviewed to assist in avoiding future child custody disputes.
