North Carolina is a
no-fault divorce state. Meaning, the
dissolution of a marriage does not require fault of either party to be shown,
or, indeed, any evidentiary proceedings at all. Either party may request, and
receive, the dissolution of the marriage, despite the objections of the other
party.
In the state of North Carolina, the legal dissolution of a marriage is called an
“absolute divorce”.
The state provides only two grounds
for an absolute divorce:
Spouses have been living separately for at least one year and either spouse has
been a resident of the state for at least six months. This is North Carolina’s
“no fault” divorce, meaning that neither spouse is required to prove marital
fault to obtain a divorce as long as they have met the requirement of living
separate and apart for at one year.
Spouses living apart for three years due to incurable insanity (although
insanity is seldom used as grounds for divorce today).
 The
state also has a legal separation in the form of a Judgment of Divorce from Bed
and Board. This is a fault-based claim filed on a number of grounds, including abandonment, adultery, excessive alcohol or drug abuse, cruelty,
personal indignities that make life burdensome or intolerable, and malicious
turning of the other spouse outdoors. Divorce is not an easy process from any perspective.
However, it is important to look beyond current emotions and concentrate
on protecting your rights. An experienced legal counselor can help
ensure that your interests are protected and that you do not agree to provisions
that you will regret sometime in the future. Contact
