- DivorceOur firm provides representation in diverse areas of law such as family law and divorce, real estate, probate, personal injury, and business concerns.
- Child SupportAttorney Tom Roupas, a Greensboro child support lawyer going back to 1997, has a deep and nuanced understanding of North Carolina law that his clients can rely on. He founded Roupas Law Firm in 2005 with the objective of delivering smart, compassionate, legal guidance to people in an efficient manner. Our Greensboro office serves clients throughout Guilford County and all over Alamance, Rockingham, and Randolph counties.
- Child Custody and VisitationAll the component parts of a divorce settlement are important, but perhaps none is more important to parents than what happens to their children. The settlement will decide where children will be raised, who will have decision-making authority and how all of this will be financed. Child custody decisions are important enough that the state of North Carolina mandates that couples who cannot find an agreement in direct negotiation at least try a third-party mediator before going to court. Parents need to know that their legal counsel has a deep working knowledge of all facets of custody and state law. We aim to give them that peace of mind.
- Spousal SupportIn North Carolina, marital property is distributed "equitably" - meaning that all decisions can be evaluated in light of the broader context of the marriage and the contributions and sacrifices that each spouse has made. If one parent left a job to focus on raising a child, for instance, he or she might have a strong claim to a greater share of property if that imbalance has not already been addressed through spousal support.

- Traffic ViolationsWhether you're on your way to work, running errands or picking up the kids, driving is a part of daily life.
