Comprehensive Legal Support for Every Need

At Marcellino & Tyson, we know that family law issues are deeply personal. Whether you’re facing the end of a marriage, navigating child custody, or planning for the future with a prenuptial agreement, our attorneys are here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and strength. Based in Charlotte, we help individuals and families throughout North Carolina protect what matters most — their family, their future, and their peace of mind.

Divorce & Separation

Ending a marriage is never easy. Whether your situation is amicable or contested, we provide the legal guidance and emotional support you need to move forward. Our attorneys handle every aspect of divorce, including equitable distribution of assets and debts, spousal support (alimony), and parenting arrangements.
We also assist with legal separations, helping couples put formal agreements in place while living apart – a common first step toward divorce or reconciliation. From complex financial issues to high-conflict disputes, we work to protect your interests and ensure your voice is heard.

Child Custody

When children are involved, their well-being becomes the highest priority. We help parents establish custody and visitation arrangements that serve the best interests of the child — and respect the rights of each parent. Whether you’re negotiating a parenting plan, modifying an existing agreement, or dealing with relocation issues, our team advocates for fair, child-focused outcomes.
We handle both legal custody (decision-making authority) and physical custody (where the child lives), and we’re skilled in resolving even the most complex custody disputes through mediation or litigation.

Child Support

Raising a child requires emotional and financial support. North Carolina has guidelines in place to calculate child support based on parents’ incomes, custody arrangements, and other factors. We’ll help you understand what to expect, ensure accurate financial disclosures, and pursue fair support arrangements — whether you’re seeking support, paying it, or requesting a modification.
If circumstances change — such as a job loss, promotion, or shift in custody — we can assist in modifying existing child support orders to reflect your current reality.

Alimony (Spousal Support)

Equitable Distribution

Dividing property during a divorce can be one of the most complicated and emotionally charged aspects of the process. North Carolina uses equitable distribution — which doesn’t always mean a 50/50 split, but rather a fair division based on a variety of factors.
We assist clients in identifying, valuing, and dividing marital property, including real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, and more. Our goal is to ensure transparency and fairness, while advocating for your financial security.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

If you’re experiencing abuse or threats from a spouse or partner, we are here to help — immediately and discreetly. Our attorneys assist with filing for protective orders (also known as 50B orders), and we represent clients in hearings to ensure their safety and the safety of their children.
We also defend individuals who have been wrongfully accused of domestic violence, understanding the serious impact such allegations can have on custody, reputation, and freedom.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Clear, honest conversations about finances and expectations before or during a marriage can strengthen relationships and prevent conflict down the line. We draft customized prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that outline how assets, debts, and income will be handled during the marriage or in the event of divorce.
Whether you’re entering a second marriage, protecting a business, or simply want peace of mind, our attorneys will help you create an agreement that’s fair, enforceable, and tailored to your needs.

Separation Agreements

A separation agreement is a legally binding document that outlines how spouses will divide property, handle support, and share custody while living apart. It offers structure during a period of uncertainty — and can form the foundation for a smoother divorce process later on.
We guide clients through negotiating and drafting thorough separation agreements that reflect their values, protect their interests, and minimize future disputes.
