This guide will walk you through the technicalities of how to get divorced in North Carolina. You may have additional issues that need to be addressed prior to filing divorce. Questions that need to be answered: 1) Do you have minor children? 2) Is there marital property, such as real estate, retirement accounts, personal property or other assets, to divide? 3) Is one spouse in need of financial support from the other spouse? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should not get divorced until you have consulted with a qualified family law attorney as many rights, if not preserved, are waived upon entry of the absolute divorce judgment.
