Understanding Divorce in North Carolina

North Carolina is a no-fault divorce state requiring couples to live apart for at least one year before filing for an absolute divorce. One spouse must have resided in North Carolina for six months prior to filing. Factors like adultery or abandonment don’t affect the granting of divorce.

Physical separation with the intent to end the marriage satisfies the one-year requirement. While formal legal separation is not required, a separation agreement can help resolve child custody, support, and property division issues and reduce litigation.

Our Winston-Salem divorce attorneys will guide you through these requirements and help you navigate related challenges such as child support, alimony, and property division to safeguard your interests.
