What if my spouse does not want a divorce?

You can also get the divorce whether or not your spouse wants to be divorced, provided that you have been separated for one continuous year and the paperwork has been correctly processed. Although North Carolina also has an alternative, three-year separation period for divorces based on one spouse’s incurable insanity, almost all modern divorces granted in this state involve couples who separated for reasons other than one spouse’s insanity.
