Angela McIlveen
CEO and Co-Founder McIlveen Family Law Firm
Angela McIlveen is the CEO and Co-Founder of McIlveen Family Law Firm.
The first thing you will notice when you meet Angela McIlveen is that she genuinely cares about her clients and the clients of the Firm.
Maybe it’s because she remembers going through her parents’ nasty divorce when she was 6 years old. Angela knows that her parents' divorce impacted her life. Angela McIlveen remembers growing up with her dad when kids didn’t grow up with their fathers and she says it definitely shaped her life. In case you are wondering, no her mom wasn’t a bad person. Her dad just had the best attorney in town.
She also has the unique perspective of having gone through her own custody trial and having sat in the witness seat in court. She knows how crazy going through a divorce or custody lawsuit can make you, Angela knows how painful it is to have your life torn apart.
Angela's colleagues say that she's aggressive. But Angela McIlveen says that she's just passionate about her clients. Whether Angela is in or out of the courtroom, she gives it her all.
Since graduating from law school, Angela McIlveen has focused her practice exclusively on litigation including discovery, court motion hearings, deposition, trial, mediation, and appeals. As a partner at the McIlveen Law Firm, Angela McIlveen handles cases in family law including child custody and support, divorce, alimony, adoption, separation, domestic violence, and equitable distribution.
The firm has four offices: Charlotte, NC, Gastonia, NC, Raleigh, NC, and Greenville, SC. The firm handles cases in Charlotte, Concord, Gastonia, Hickory, Lenoir, Lincolnton, Mathews, Monroe, Shelby, and Statesville. And the Raleigh office serves clients in Durham, Cary, Raleigh, and surrounding cities. The Greenville office services Greenville, York, Anderson, and surrounding cities.
When Angela is not full speed ahead in the courtroom and running a growing law practice, she loves spending time with her family.

How Much Will I Pay For Alimony in North Carolina?
Charlotte Child Custody Attorney - Which Parent Gets Custody?
- Q. I married in January 2019 and broke up in February 2019. What's my separation date?
- A: Your question is when are you legally separated in NC. North Carolina defines legal separation as living separate and apart with one party intending the separation to be permanent. When your husband moved out of the home on February 14, 2019, did one of you intend the separation to be permanent or were you continuing to work on your marriage? If he moved on out on the 14th and that was the end of your marriage (you didn't continue to have sex or spend nights together), then February 14, 2019, is your date of separation. If you have more questions about divorce or your date of separation you should talk to a divorce lawyer. In NC, you have to be separated for one year and one day before filing ... Read More
- Q. I pay child support monthly now she wants me to pay daycare on top of that. Am I required to pay that?
- A: Child support may be court-ordered or agreed upon by parents. You don't say whether your child support is court-ordered. If your child support is court-ordered then you are only required to pay what is ordered by the court. It sounds like your child's mother has a very unstable situation. She has lost her job, lost her housing, is living with someone and has lost daycare assistance. Perhaps, the better question to ask is would you be able to better care for your child than she can? If you can then maybe you should consider hiring an attorney to help you get custody of your child. If you think your child is ok living with the mother then maybe you want your child in daycare because you ... Read More
- Q. Divorced and have a 6 year old son with NO custody agreement, ex wife has no power in home can i keep my son with me?
- A: The United States Constitution provides that parents have the right to raise their children. There is no distinction between mothers and fathers. Fathers have just as much right to parent their children as mothers. When there isn't a custody order in place, parents have equal rights. This means you have the same rights as your child's mother. You can pick your child up and keep your child. You can transfer him to a new school. The issue you may run into is that his mother can do the same thing back to you. She can also pick him up and keep him or change his school. Child custody lawyers, like myself, call this rush to the schoolhouse. It happens when parents rush to the school to beat ... Read More
