North Carolina is a 50/50 divorce state. In NC, splitting up the marital property 50/50 is considered equitable and fair. However, NC divorce laws consider many factors that typically indicate a need for an unequal marital property division, in which case a 50/50 distribution would not be fair.
So, if there is no court order in place, they both have the equal right to remain in the house throughout the separation period. But remember, living together is not considered a separate residence. North Carolina requires both spouses to live separately for one year.
By law, an equal division of marital property is preferred, but if either spouse requests an unequal division and the judge finds that an unequal distribution would be fair, the court may give more of the property or debt to one party than the other. Judges consider many factors in deciding how to divide property.
Opting for an uncontested divorce and no-fault divorce, where both parties agree on the terms of the divorce, can also expedite the process significantly.

You state that you want to change your name because of divorce, and you specify which name you want to resume. You sign with the full name you want to use going forward.
With a separation agreement in place, all the judge needs to do is sign off on your divorce. No lengthy trial process is necessary, because both spouses agree on every aspect of their divorce. You will first file for a Complaint for Divorce, and your spouse will be served with this legal document.
The defendant spouse has 30 days to respond to the divorce complaint after he or she has been served. If the parties agree and want to speed up the process, the defendant can simply sign waive the right to answer.
You are eligible to file for divorce, also called an “absolute divorce,” only after being separated for at least a year and a day. This means that you must have been living in different homes and that at least one of you intended that the separation be permanent during that time.
