Check the BBB, his rating is F. Check the NCBAR dot com and you will see they took his law practice away from him for 5 years. Read what he has done to others. Broke state and federal laws. Warning, stay away from this guy!

Godwin Law Firm

Divorce
Child Support
Child support is a monetary payment that a noncustodial parent pays toward the living expenses of their children. The amount of child support is based primarily on the noncustodial parent’s net income, although factors such as medical insurance costs, day care and school expenses and living arrangements can be considered. Although child support payments often can be agreed upon between parents, a knowledgeable Wilmington NC family lawyer can explain how it is calculated and help you finalize fair, precise terms.
Child Custody and Visitation
Divorce is always a serious matter, and in the case of parties who own prized assets, relationship exit strategies can be highly complex and challenging. The Godwin Law Firm brings tenacity and strategic approaches to a divorce by maximizing financial awards, winning desired child custody, safeguarding assets, and facilitating a favorable outcome. We are here to help you through the storm.
Adoption
Step-parent adoptions – When a parent remarries following a divorce, the new father may wish to adopt his wife’s child as his own. A legal adoption provides many benefits to the child, including the right to support, access to health insurance, inheritance rights, and more, as well as an overall strengthening of the family bond.
Premarital Agreement
At Godwin Law Firm, we represent people in a wide range of family law concerns, including drafting prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Our law firm is dedicated to providing every client with a high level of professional and personal service. We will take the time to understand your situation and your needs in order to advise on the options that will work best for you. We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for Wilmington, North Carolina and surrounding counties.
Spousal Support
Alimony, and also called Spousal Support, is not awarded in every divorce. A court determines whether or not to grant a spouse support based on several factors, including the length of the marriage, health and earning capacity of each spouse among other things. The length of support can vary from long-term, “permanent” support, or temporary “rehabilitative” support, depending on the particular facts.
Legal Separation
Legal separation is often a prequel to divorce, but it does not automatically lead to that end result. If the future of your marriage is uncertain you should discuss the option of legal separation with a knowledgeable

Criminal Defense
DUI/DWI
Keep in mind, however, what the prosecution has that you don’t – experienced DUI prosecutors on its payroll; officers and breath analysis technicians who have been trained as professional witnesses; a legislature that passes laws designed to make it tougher on you every step of the way; and plenty of funding to see to it that you are convicted.
Traffic Violations
Traffic offenses can have a harmful effect on your freedom in surprising ways. At stake in most petty offenses are fines and court costs, possible increases in auto insurance, and possible driver's license suspensions for multiple violations over time. By paying a traffic ticket without going to court, you are pleading guilty and accepting a conviction. The offense will stay on your record forever, and possibly cause unpredictable problems in the future.
Misdemeanors
Depending upon your driving history and the facts of your case, your case may be upgraded from a misdemeanor DUI to a felony charge of aggravated DUI. This can occur even on a first offense if at the time of the arrest you did not have a valid driver’s license, you knew or should have known that the vehicle was not insured or you caused a motor vehicle accident resulting in serious or fatal injuries. Your case can also be upgraded to a felony charge if you have been alleged to have committed a DUI when your license was suspended or revoked because of a previous DUI; or if you have committed two or more previous DUIs. A felony DUI can result in a lengthy prison sentence.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
For most individuals, imagining a time when they may not be here anymore is difficult to fathom. Creating a will and a plan for a living will is not at the top of everyone’s list of things to do, but it should be. If you don’t have a will, the state may have to decide what to do with your assets, custody of your children, and make other decisions on your behalf. A will is the best way to impose your own desires on the disposition of your estate.
