Divorce is not a legal matter that you can go through alone or with inexperienced counsel, as any mistakes or oversights will have profound effects on your rights to property.

Armstrong is a past president of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), and is locally and nationally recognized for her family law practice.
Considerations for Divorce and Equitable Distribution of Property
Marcia focuses her legal practice on complex property distribution in divorce. In North Carolina, marital property is to be divided equitably between spouses, but the valuation and division of property is not always a simple task. Examples of situations where a property division must be carefully and skillfully handled include the following:
- Spouses who own a closely-held or family business
- Spouses who have pensions or substantial retirement assets
- Spouses who own stock options or future interests that are difficult to value
- Spouses who own investment property or extensive real estate holdings
- Spouses whose divorce involves specialized tax considerations
- A spouse who believes the other to be hiding marital property or assets
- A spouse who wishes to contest a premarital agreement
- A spouse who is in need of alimony or post-separation support
- A spouse who wishes to pursue a claim of alienation of affection or criminal conversation.

She offers compassionate advice and aggressive representation when deciding whether to agree to a settlement or proceed to trial.
