Separating from a marriage is a challenging and emotionally taxing experience, especially without a legal partner who is there to handle the most complicated elements of getting a divorce in North Carolina.
You are about to legally dissolve your marriage and open new doors in life, but the pile of legal documents and points you need to address feels daunting. You need to figure out:
- Where you’re going to live and who is keeping the house
- What financial support is necessary for either spouse
- How the new social dynamic will work
- The distribution of property
- And More
In North Carolina, a married couple must be physically separated for one year before filing for divorce. The first year of physical separation is crucial for couples to establish their new selves, financially and emotionally. This is also a tumultuous time for parents as they learn to co-parent their children. When kids are involved, the need for legal guidance, support, and valuable insight is even more pressing as you navigate child support and child custody matters.
