Divorce
Child Support
Nothing is more important than the love and care a parent owes their child. Even if parents never married, they have a legal duty to support their children financially. Willful failure of a noncustodial parent to make required child support payments can be charged as a criminal offense. In many cases, it is best to set child support rates by consensus, but if court intervention is required, we can make sure that the proper information is considered when the judge refers to the North Carolina child support formula. If an existing order is being ignored or requires modification due to a change in financial status, we can petition the court for relief. Firm lawyers can also assist with paternity and adoption matters to establish parental responsibility pursuant to state law.
Child Custody and Visitation
Establishing child custody arrangements — When negotiating legal and physical custody of children, we make an extra effort to create a plan agreeable to both parents. If consensus is not possible, the court can review numerous factors to determine what is in the child’s best interests. There is a strong preference for an arrangement that maintains full involvement for both parents, but if you believe this might be harmful, we will argue to the court on your behalf.
Adoption
Guardianship
You’ve worked hard for your family, so knowing that you have planned for their long-term well-being and financial security can bring you great comfort. We thoroughly analyze your estate and strategize the best means of transferring your assets, minimizing taxes, establishing guardianship for your children, caring for your pets, supporting personal philanthropic causes and protecting your loved ones.

A native of Rutherford County, North Carolina, Peggy graduated from Berea College, Berea, Kentucky, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. After receiving a Masters of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, she taught English at Freedom High School. In 1989, she obtained her J. D. degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she was a staff member of the North Carolina Law Review for two years. After graduation, she returned to Morganton and joined the law firm of Byrd, Byrd, Ervin, Whisnant, McMahon & Ervin, P.A., where she became a partner. Her practice there focused on residential and commercial real estate and other property matters, but she also gained experience in other areas, including estate planning and administration, and business law. She continued these areas of practice when she became a solo practitioner in 2001. Peggy has been recognized with an AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review.
Business Transactions
Most business transactions conducted today are done through the use of contracts. A contract is a binding agreement between two parties that sets terms for the transaction, including price, delivery and quantity of items to be sold. Properly drafting and negotiating contracts will allow you to clearly define and understand your business’s rights and obligations. When a dispute arises, you need an attorney who understands how to negotiate and litigate contracts cases. The attorneys at Starnes Aycock Law Firm handle contract drafting, negotiation and breach cases for our clients in North Carolina.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate planning documents are extremely flexible and can be designed to fit your unique needs. Starnes Aycock Law Firm works closely with you to determine your goals and create precise instruments to carry out your intentions.
Wills
Your last will provides the opportunity to distribute your property, establish care for your children and otherwise express your wishes upon your death. A will is necessary if you intend to leave property to a person or entity other than a blood relative, such as a domestic partner, a friend or a charity. If you die without a will, the court determines how your property is distributed, who cares for your children and even what happens to your pet – making decisions that might not reflect your desires.
Trusts
John brings over twenty years of experience to the foothills of North Carolina and has clients throughout North Carolina. He welcomes the opportunity to help those with small estates and complex estates, along with assisting businesses of all sizes. John can prepare wills, trusts, irrevocable trusts, education trusts, special needs trusts, charitable trusts, financial powers of attorney, health care powers of attorney, living wills, HIPAA waivers and other estate planning arrangements to solve any estate planning need. He also handles probate of simple and complex estates and can advise an Executor or beneficiary regarding their rights and duties. John also advises individuals on asset protection, guardianships and elder law. In addition to individuals and estates, John also helps in setting up, buying and selling corporations and Limited Liability Companies and is happy to review leases and contracts as part of his practice.
