North Carolina Separation Agreement Lawyer

Chapel Hill, NC Family Law Attorney

In the state of North Carolina, separation is a first (and required) step on the way to absolute divorce. Spouses in North Carolina must live apart for one year before they can obtain a divorce. North Carolina allows couples who are separating and moving towards filing a divorce to enter into a legally binding agreement called a separation agreement in which they can negotiate jointly to decide how to resolve issues such as child support, child custody, alimony, division of assets, division of property, debt, and more. In the turbulent emotional times surrounding separation and divorce, separation agreements can help to make the process more orderly and cut down on exhausting and expensive litigation during divorce proceedings.
