Pre-Divorce Planning
One of the most stressful aspects of divorce is uncertainty. That’s why we offer detailed consultations where we explain the entire divorce process and associated events. This gives you the opportunity to prepare and understand what lies ahead. Our main objective is to consider your current situation and plan for the future. If you’re considering divorce, schedule a consultation with our firm to better understand the financial implications of divorce.
The Divorce Process
The simplest way to get divorced is through an Absolute Divorce. It has three requirements:
- A legal marriage.
- One year of living separate and apart with the intention to end the marital relationship.
- Either the husband or wife must be a resident of North Carolina for at least six months. Once these requirements are met, you’re eligible to file for an absolute divorce. After the divorce judgment is finalized, both parties can legally remarry and have the option to resume their maiden name. It’s important to note that child custody, child support, and other divorce-related matters can be addressed even if the requirements for divorce haven’t been met.
