Deciding to divorce or separate is rarely easy.
There are many things to consider, and
emotionally it can be debilitating. Issues from
asset division to child custody can make things
even more complicated, and increase the need for
a good divorce attorney.
3Our attorneys can help you through the legal
process of divorce or separation, and all that
can come with it. Understanding what generally
happens in a divorce or legal separation can ease
the stress and anxiety about the future and can
help you achieve some peace of mind.
4A separation agreement or other written document
is not required to be legally separated in North
Carolina. To be considered separated from your
spouse, you just need to be living in different
homes, and at least one of you needs to intend
that the separation be permanent.
5Divorce from Bed and Board
In spite of the confusing name, a Divorce from
Bed and Board (a DBB) is not a divorce. A DBB
is a court-ordered separation. Once you are
separated due to a DBB order, you will still need
to wait one year and file for an absolute divorce
to legally end the marriage.
6Requirements for a divorce
DBB orders are available only under limited
circumstances where the spouse requesting the
order can prove serious faults, such as adultery
or drug abuse. Once you have separated due to a
DBB order, you can still resolve issues related
to the separation with a separation agreement, as
if the separation had been voluntary.
