Understanding the Difference
It’s important to note the distinction between divorce and legal separation. In a divorce, your marriage is officially ended. During a separation, you and your spouse are still legally married, but the court can address other aspects of divorce, such as child custody and division of assets. While separation does not always lead to divorce, in North Carolina, a separation period of one year is required before filing for divorce. Trust our experienced divorce attorneys to guide you through the legal requirements and provide the necessary support during this challenging season.
