Ketan Soni
Move Forward
I represent clients going through divorce and family law issues, including separation agreements and prenuptial/premarital agreements, alimony, equitable distribution, child support and custody. I mediate cases for spouses that cannot reach a resolution on their own. My divorce practice across North Carolina gives me a wide range of experience on how judges rule.
I created a free downloadable North Carolina Child Support Calculator which reflects North Carolina's statutes. This can be found by contacting our firm.
Other attorneys also hire me to mediate their clients' disputes prior to going to court. I advance the practice and knowledge of law for my colleagues by teaching numerous Continuing Legal Education classes for North Carolina Attorneys. I was honored in 2014 by being asked to speak on electronic evidence at a District Court Judge's Conference.

- Q. I have a verbal agreement with my son's mother that I can use him as an exemption when filing my taxes.
- A: In previous years, whichever parent had custody of the child the majority of the year, that parent had the right to claim the child per IRS rules.
However, now the only thing left is the Child Tax Credit. There is no longer a dependency exemption beginning in 2018 due to the tax law changes.
