First of all, you should be commended for taking the first step in moving forward if you are contemplating separation or divorce, or if you’ve been surprised by your spouse’s request to separate. As you move along in this process, the more information you gather will help you feel more empowered during an otherwise overwhelming time in your life.

I am a family law attorney who practices in Orange, Chatham, Durham, and Wake County. I can handle cases involving child custody disputes, property distribution, alimony, domestic violence, and divorce in general. I particularly like assisting couples with separation agreements to have in place before they separate. While I don’t mind litigating matters in the courtroom, often I am able to work with my client to negotiate, mediate, or settle a matter without needing to go to court, if this is my client’s desire.
For those who want to handle their separation or divorce on their own, I am also available for a consult just to review your paperwork or discuss your plan.

Lastly, I try to work with my clients to develop a course of representation that fits their budget as well as a plan to pay for that representation.

Call or email to set up a consult.  I look forward to meeting you and working with you to make this process as smooth as possible.

Sincerely,

Sarah Carr D’Amato

Attorney at Law
