Firm Details

Triangle Smart Divorce is a Cary, North Carolina family law firm serving individuals and families in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and communities throughout the Triangle and surrounding North Carolina counties. Family law is all the firm does. Its attorneys assist clients with divorce and separation, child custody and support, alimony, equitable distribution, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, mediation,collaborative divorce,parenting coordination, and other North Carolina family law matters.

People rarely come to a family law firm with only one legal question. They are often trying to understand what will happen to their children, home, finances, business, and future, all while making decisions during an emotionally difficult time. Triangle Smart Divorce helps clients slow the process down, understand their options, identify what matters most, and develop a practical strategy for moving forward.

Clients work with a legal Team, not an attorney operating in isolation. The firm’s attorneys regularly consult with one another, share knowledge across cases, and draw on their collective experience to address complicated legal, financial, and parenting issues. That collaboration allows each client to benefit from the perspective of more than one family law professional while still having a primary attorney and legal Team who know the details of the case.

The firm represents clients with a wide range of needs, including business owners, professionals, military families, parents facing complex custody disputes, and spouses whose cases involve significant or complicated assets. Its attorneys have experience with closely held businesses, business valuations, real estate, retirement and investment accounts, military benefits, income from self employment, separate property claims, and other issues that can make a North Carolina divorce more complex.

Not every family needs the same process. Some cases can be resolved through direct negotiation, mediation, or collaborative divorce. Others require litigation and courtroom advocacy. Triangle Smart Divorce helps clients understand the available paths and choose an approach based on the facts of their case, their priorities, and the life they want to build after the legal process ends.

The firm also believes that legal representation is only one part of helping someone move forward. Clients receive education and practical guidance throughout their cases, along with referrals to trusted financial, mental health, real estate, parenting, and other professionals when additional support may be helpful. That commitment continues before, during, and after the legal case.

The Triangle Smart Divorce Team includes North Carolina State Bar Board Certified Specialists in Family Law, North Carolina certified Family Financial Mediators, collaborative law practitioners, and Parenting Coordinators. In the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, Julianne B. Rothert was recognized for Family Law. Kaitlin (Katie) Kober was recognized in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America for Family Law and Family Law: Arbitration and Mediation.

Triangle Smart Divorce’s goal is not to make divorce louder or longer. It is to help clients understand what lies ahead, protect what matters, and move forward with a plan that works in real life.
