Raleigh Divorce Lawyer Cathy Hunt Publishes in Business North Carolina

Raleigh, North Carolina-May 9, 2011 - Cathy Hunt, partner in the Gailor, Wallis & Hunt divorce and family law firm, explores the value of marriage contracts in Business North Carolina‘s 2011 Law Journal.

Hunt’s journal article, “Marital Contracts Can Reassure Spouses and Provide for the Future,” examines how spouses can enter into agreements-both prenuptial and postnuptial-to clarify the distribution of financial assets and debt in the event of divorce. This, she writes, not only helps calm concerns about splitting assets in the event of divorce, but it may also promote harmony in the marriage by reducing the tension often associated with managing finances.

Recognized by her peers as a member of Business North Carolina‘s Legal Elite in Family Law, Hunt has long been one of the state’s go-to lawyers for divorce and family law matters and has particular expertise in advising divorcing parties with complex financial issues.

“Cathy has made her mark as one of North Carolina’s preeminent family and divorce lawyers,” says Carole Gailor, managing partner of Gailor, Wallis & Hunt, PLLC. “She has an enviable track record not only of winning cases but of tackling and favorably resolving the really tricky business and financial issues that can impact, and in less capable hands, stall property distribution, child support and alimony agreements. We’ve long been thrilled to have Cathy as a partner, and we are delighted with her article.”

Hunt, who received her J.D. degree from the University of Memphis and served a judicial clerkship on the Tennessee Supreme Court, is one of the few North Carolina family and divorce lawyers with an extensive background in corporate law, having worked on mergers, acquisitions and divestitures before joining Gailor, Wallis & Hunt a decade ago.

“There’s a reason why clients come to Cathy when complex financial issues are involved in divorce and child support cases,” says Gailor. “It’s the same reason publications like Business North Carolina recognize her and publish her work. She simply knows this stuff better than anyone.”
