In 9th grade, he refused to attend school and failed his freshman year of high school. His mom and I had been divorced since he was 4 and live in separate states about 750 miles apart. The summer in between 9th and 10th grade, I was able to work out a plan with the school system in NC to allow him to take summer school remotely while he was spending his summer with me. He returned to NC as a sophomore, but again the school refusal surfaced. In the interim, I had reached out to Heather and her team at Raleigh Divorce Law Firm. Over the subsequent 8 months, they worked tirelessly on my behalf to obtain primary custody of my son. While his struggles continued, I remained in active contact with the school counselors, his doctors, Heather and her team, and of course, my son. Eventually, the case was resolved just prior to our scheduled court date and without any further action taken by the state. Fast-forward 2.5 years, and my son has just recently graduated high school on time. What seemed so unlikely when I began the custody transfer process became a reality. No one knows what the future will bring, but I can say that because of the quality of representation and the fierce devotion to advocating for my son that RDLF displayed, he has the opportunity to go to college and to build the life he wants for himself. I cannot thank Heather and her team enough. They literally helped work a miracle! Dominick F. " Read the full review
