FAQ
To reach this final termination of marriage, one spouse must file a divorce complaint with the Clerk of Court in the county of their residence. A divorce attorney may file the notice on behalf of a client. The county Sheriff (or a deputy) will then serve the divorce complaint upon the other spouse.
You can absolutely do a pro se divorce and you don't need any lawyers if you're both reasonable and amicable people. Put whatever you like in writing if you want, but there's no requirement in NC to file any separation or custody agreements.
The year waiting period shows the court that the marriage is irrevocably broken and cannot be reconciled. While the state does consider this separation as one ground of a divorce, it is not the only one. Incurable insanity and imprisonment are some of the other grounds for a divorce.
You do not need to legally separate before a divorce. In fact, it may be against your own best interests to do so—many, if not most, legal separations end in divorce anyway.
As long as you are eligible for a divorce, your spouse does not have to agree to the divorce. If you file for divorce, your spouse does not have to complete or sign any paperwork, file anything with the court, or go to court for the divorce hearing.
How do we get divorced? One spouse or the other must have resided in North Carolina for at least six months and the parties must have been separated for at least one year with the separation intended to be permanent. When those two requirements have been met, either party may file for an absolute divorce.
There is a mandatory waiting period of 30 days after the divorce is filed for it to be finalized. Typically, it takes less than 60 days to finalize an uncontested divorce. Contested divorces often take at least a year, not including the mandatory year of separation.
In NC you must be separated for at least one full year before you can file for divorce. During the one-year waiting period to get a divorce, am I responsible for bills my spouse incurs or am I entitled to any property he/she may obtain during that time? Probably yes, to some extent.
In North Carolina, the responsibility for spousal support, also known as post-separation support and alimony, is not automatically imposed on one party or the other. Instead, the court determines it case-by-case, considering various factors.
