Paige E. Inman

Paige practices family law and estate litigation from our Wilmington office. She helps families and individuals navigate complicated family law legal processes during times of family upheaval and transition, both in the context of divorce and death. Her family law practice is multifaceted, encompassing such areas as divorce, mediation, equitable distribution, pre-separation planning, separation agreements, alimony and spousal support, children's rights, domestic violence and neglect, paternity, and prenuptial agreements.

In the litigation realm, Paige has extensive experience advising clients from initial consultation through all stages of litigation, including court filings and hearings, mediation, and trials. She is equally comfortable with the appellate process, and routinely manages cases through the filing of the Notices of Appeal and compiling the Record on Appeal. She is also a seasoned appellant and appellee briefs writer.
