Summary of North Carolina Separation Law |
|
|
|
In North Carolina, couples legally separate when spouses begin living apart (in different residences) and at least one of them has the intent to remain separate and apart. Couples do not formally file for separation in North Carolina.
Separation and divorce are linked in North Carolina. One of the two grounds for no-fault divorce in North Carolina is separation for one year (the other is incurable insanity plus separation for three years).
Issues such as child custody, child support, property division, and alimony can be addressed by executing a Separation Agreement. It is best to work with an attorney in this situation. Certain formalities must be carefully followed in order for the agreement to be valid and binding.
To fully understand divorce law and family law, it may be necessary to read and interpret statutes with case law and regulatory law. It is important to check to see if laws are up date. For these and other reasons, it is always best to consult with a qualified family law attorney.
