What are the requirements to file for divorce in North Carolina?
July 29, 2024 – Eric Richardson
To file for divorce in North Carolina, you and your spouse must have been living separate and apart for one year, with at least one party intending for the separation to be permanent. Incurable insanity is another ground for divorce, but that is relatively rare. Consult with an experienced North Carolina divorce attorney to assess your situation and plan the appropriate steps if you are considering seeking a divorce.
