Our firm’s founder Attorney Charles Montgomery has over 40 years of proven, award-winning legal experience.
Divorce is not a one-size-fits-all remedy, as state laws vary as much as individual circumstances. If you are considering a divorce in Raleigh, North Carolina, you are well advised to consult a North Carolina divorce attorney before initiating any action.
North Carolina is a no-fault divorce jurisdiction. A no-fault divorce in North Carolina simply requires that the parties live separate and apart for one year (and one day) before filing. However, it is important to understand that in most cases, claims for division of property, alimony, child custody, and child support are brought or negotiated outside of court prior to the one-year separation (when the divorce itself can first be filed), as these claims can be filed as soon as the spouses separate, and they can stand alone as independent claims.
The key to a stress free divorce is in the decision making process leading up to the court action. Before proceeding with legal action, consider all your options, including divorce mediation. Consult an experienced North Carolina divorce attorney and do not be afraid to ask questions or request additional explanation if you do not understand something.
