A: One of you needs to have resided in North Carolina for at least 6 months immediately prior to the divorce being filed. So if your spouse lives in NC and you have been separated for at least a year, you are likely eligible to file in NC. If the divorce is expected to be uncontested and your spouse is somewhat cooperative with you then you would likely not be required to go to Court or even to an attorney's office. You could do most everything from home for a total flat rate fee of $395. Just visit our site at www.easyncdivorce.com to see if our service is a good fit for you.
