Whether you require legal services in the areas of family law, litigation, want to explore the Collaborative Family Law process, are
interested in utilizing mediation as your vehicle for resolving family law disputes, or simply need information on these services, the RM&F Family Law area of practice is expertly handled by Martha New Milam (Profile, E-mail), who is a North Carolina Board-Certified
Specialist in Family Law. This practice area covers complicated legal issues such as pre-marriage planning, divorce, separation, equitable distribution, property settlement, child custody
and adoption. Prospective clients will be asked to pay an initial consultation fee at Martha’s regular hourly rate. Because the facts of each family law case are unique, Martha requires that
potential new clients make an appointment to meet with her in person (See How to Contact Us
page). If Martha accepts the case after the initial consultation, Martha and the client will enter into a clear and detailed contract which, among other things, will probably require the client to pay a
retainer. The amount of the retainer will be determined by Martha, and will vary depending upon the complexity of the matter and the nature of the representation selected.
Martha is also a certified mediator and is skilled in the legal practice area known as Alternative
Dispute Resolution. She has blended her skills as a family law specialist and a certified mediator to offer services as a divorce mediator. See the Divorce Mediation page for details.
Martha is also trained to assist clients in the Collaborative process. This process offers an
exciting new paradigm for separating couples. See the Collaborative Family Law page for details.
