Ericka Arauco

Family Law Attorney | Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support, Alimony & Family Law Matters

When your family, your children, and your future are at stake, you need more than an attorney. You need someone who will listen, tell you the truth, and stand beside you through one of the most difficult chapters of your life.

For Ericka Arauco, family law is not just about legal documents, court hearings, or negotiations. It is about helping real people navigate life-changing decisions with confidence, clarity, and dignity.

As a Family Law Attorney at Gantt Family Law, Ericka represents clients throughout North Carolina in divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, equitable distribution, separation agreements, domestic violence matters, and other family law disputes. Her approach combines strong legal advocacy with genuine compassion, helping clients make decisions that protect their future while keeping their long-term goals in focus.

From Bolivia to the Courtroom

Ericka’s journey to becoming an attorney is one of determination, courage, and purpose.

Born and raised in Bolivia, she witnessed firsthand what can happen when legal systems fail to serve the people who depend on them. That experience inspired her to pursue a career in law and ultimately led her to leave behind her home, family, and friends to build a future in the United States.

As a first-generation Bolivian attorney, becoming a lawyer is one of the accomplishments she is most proud of.

But for Ericka, the journey was never simply about earning a law degree. It was about creating opportunities to help people navigate difficult situations and make meaningful improvements in their lives.

Today, she uses that same determination and perspective to advocate for families facing some of the most important decisions they will ever make.

Family Law Is About People, Not Just Cases

What attracted Ericka to family law was its unique combination of advocacy and counseling.

Family law allows her to stand up for clients in court while also helping them navigate emotionally difficult situations outside the courtroom. She understands that clients are often dealing with fear, uncertainty, frustration, and grief all at the same time.

That is why one of her primary goals is ensuring clients never feel like they are just another case number.

She believes every client deserves an attorney who genuinely cares about their future and is committed to helping them make the best possible decisions for themselves and their families.

One of the most rewarding parts of her work is helping families navigate separation in a way that minimizes harm and creates opportunities for healing and growth. When children are involved, Ericka remains focused on protecting their well-being and helping parents make decisions that support their long-term interests.

Honest Guidance During Difficult Times

Family law cases often involve highly emotional decisions. While emotions are understandable, Ericka believes clients benefit most from having an attorney who can think clearly and provide honest guidance when emotions are running high.

Her philosophy is simple:

Do what is genuinely best for the client.
