Divorce
Child Support
Kristin served as a District Court judge for 13 years before establishing a private law practice and later joining Smith Debnam. As a family court judge, she concentrated the majority of her time presiding in the courtroom designated for child support enforcement—one of the most challenging in Wake County. Kristin voluntarily took on this courtroom when other judges had declined. This experience also equipped her with the ability to navigate the often messy overlap of criminal and civil law.
Child Custody and Visitation
Kristin Ruth embodies a level of empathy and compassion that compels her to action. With grace and an absolute dedication to her clients’ best interests, Kristin has devoted her career to helping families involved in difficult child custody cases navigate the legal process as painlessly as possible. She continues to raise the bar on what it means to provide excellent client service. Clients feel heard and important when they are with Kristin; ever the professional, she gives them her full and guiding attention. She endeavors to be present, easy to talk to, and their guiding advocate toward a just solution. Patient and candid, warm yet firm, Kristin helps each client feel cared for with a blend of professionalism and passion for what she does.

Probate

Bankruptcy
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina recently granted a motion filed by the standing Chapter 13 Trustee (“Trustee”), seeking to have the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy case filed by the debtors Marcus C. Purdy and Amanda J. Purdy (“Debtors”) dismissed for cause, and with prejudice. The motion was supported by the U.S. Bankruptcy Administrator for the Eastern District of North Carolina (the “B.A.”). In granting the motion, the Court dismissed the Debtors’ pending bankruptcy case. Additionally, it barred the Debtors from refiling any bankruptcy case under any Chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code for a substantial period—10 years for Mrs. Purdy and five years for Mr. Purdy.
