Our No-Fault Divorce Lawyers Can Guide You Through The Process
In a no-fault divorce, neither party is deemed to be at fault for the demise of the marriage. While this proclamation can lead to simpler divorce proceedings, state law still dictates that certain requirements be met:
- Complete one year of separation: To be eligible for filing for a divorce, you and your spouse must first spend one year living in separate residences.
- Establish North Carolina residency: Either you or your spouse must live in North Carolina for six months.
- Typically during your year of living apart you will prepare a separation and property settlement agreement: This document will outline the terms of your divorce as well as the division of your marital property. Often times this document also addresses alimony.
Even an amicable/no-fault divorce, can be a complex legal process. To ensure that your separation and property settlement agreement are in line with your best interests, it is helpful to consult an divorce attorney. At Kennedy Law Associates, we have been assisting clients with family law needs for decades and we understand the nuances and mistakes to avoid in navigating the divorce process in North Carolina.
