Understanding Divorce in North Carolina

To divorce in North Carolina, you need to meet specific requirements and follow certain legal procedures.

Here’s a breakdown of the key requirements:

• Residency Requirement: At least one spouse must have been a resident of North Carolina for at least six months immediately preceding the filing of the divorce.
• Separation Requirement: You must live separate and apart from your spouse for at least one year before filing for divorce.
• Grounds for Divorce: North Carolina allows for a no-fault divorce, meaning you do not need to prove that either party is at fault. The state also recognizes fault grounds for divorce, such as adultery, abandonment, or cruelty.
• Filing for Divorce: You need to file a complaint for divorce in the Clerk of Court’s office in the county where either you or your spouse resides. This document outlines the grounds for divorce and any additional claims, such as property division or alimony.
• Serving the Divorce Papers: After filing, you must serve your spouse with the divorce papers. This can be done through a sheriff’s deputy, a process server, or by certified mail. Your spouse has 30 days to respond to the divorce papers. If they do not respond, you may proceed with a default judgment.

If you can prove that there is no hope of a reconciliation, that you and your spouse have been separated from each other for a year or that you have been separated from them for at least six months, you are in a qualifying situation to request a divorce.

Types of Divorce in North Carolina

By knowing all the options available, plus our guidance around divorce, you can choose a faster, more friendly way to make peace, save money, reduce stress and protect your future.

Some types of divorce in North Carolina include:

Contested Divorce

It is the best option when spouses cannot agree on one or more issues, such as property division, child custody, or support, leading to a more complex and lengthy process.

This type of divorce involves court hearings and potentially a trial to resolve disputes. Both parties present evidence and arguments before a judge, who makes decisions on contested issues.

Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested divorce is generally considered the fastest and least expensive method of obtaining a divorce. In an unhosted divorce, it is possible for the parties to reach an agreement on the division of the marital unit, the supporting spouse and the pension, without a lengthy and difficult trail process.

Based on an agreement between the two parties, our divorce attorney will help you streamline and facilitate the divorce process and handle all the details of the file.
