1. What are the residency requirements for filing for divorce in North Carolina? To file for divorce in North Carolina, either spouse must have lived in the state for at least six months before initiating the divorce proceedings.
2. What is a legal separation in North Carolina? Legal separation in North Carolina requires spouses to live separately from each other, and at least one party must have no intent of resuming the marriage.
3. When can I file for divorce in North Carolina? In North Carolina, you are eligible to file for divorce only after you and your spouse have been separated for one year.
4. How long does it take to get a divorce in North Carolina? After the one-year separation requirement, you are eligible to file for divorce. When you file for divorce, and your spouse is served, there is a 30-day waiting period before the divorce can be finalized. In general, it takes at least 45-90 days from the date your spouse is served to be formally divorced.
5. How is property divided in North Carolina? North Carolina follows the principle of equitable distribution, which means the marital property is divided in a fair and just manner, but not necessarily equally. Marital property includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage, excluding separate property owned before the marriage or acquired by gift or inheritance.
6. How is alimony determined? In North Carolina, alimony and post-separation support are based on whether you and/or your spouse are dependent and whether you and/or your spouse are considered the supporting spouse. A family law attorney would need to look at the individual circumstances to determine whether or not support will need to be considered.
