North Carolina Separation Agreement

Married couples sometimes come to a point in their marriage where they no longer wish to continue their lives together. In most cases, once a couple reaches this point, they start the divorce process to end their marriage. Another option Some couples choose is Legal Separation.

In North Carolina, it is not necessary to file for a legal separation prior to divorce.  However, North Carolina law requires a couple to be physically separated for at least one year and a day before they can file for an absolute divorce. The date the couple begins living apart, in separate residences is the beginning of the one year and a day time period for separation.
