Deciding to end your marriage is a difficult decision made even more challenging due to North Carolina’s complicated divorce laws. While North Carolina is a no-fault divorce state, you still have to be physically separated for a year and one day before filing. You cannot share a residence, even with separate bedrooms, during that time. 

While the waiting period can be stressful, you can use it to your benefit by hiring a Raleigh divorce lawyer while separated. Your divorce attorney can begin to negotiate all aspects of the issues related to divorce without going to trial. After the waiting period has elapsed,you can ask the Court to grant your divorce. Our Raleigh divorce lawyer can also represent you in court. While many cases can be resolved without a trial, sometimes, one party isn’t willing to negotiate. If that’s the case with your spouse, we will prepare for litigation and try your case before a judge.
