Each week we get callers asking about what it takes to get divorced in North Carolina. Many people appear incredulous at the answer; North Carolina has only one requirement that a North Carolina resident must meet. To be divorced in North Carolina you must live separate and apart for one year.
Fault will not allow you to speed up the divorce process. Thus, even if your spouse committed flagrant adultery if you have not been separated for one year you cannot end the marriage with a divorce. Fault is a factor in alimony and other actions, just not in getting a divorce. North Carolina considers issues such as alimony, division of property, divorce, child support and child custody as separate identifiable issues.
So if you have no children, no property and no claim for alimony why should you use an attorney for a "simple" divorce. When our office files your divorce for you the process will only take a few moments of your time. After you sign the papers we file your documents, appear in court for you and, if appropriate, get your name changed. Our appearance will allow you to avoid procedural questions, save you time, avoid parking hassles and ensure that your simple divorce remains simple.
