Getting a Divorce in Raleigh and Wake County
Every county has differing laws, and Wake County is no different. However, you will find the general laws of North Carolina apply in regards to pursuing a divorce. Here are the basics.
Residency Requirement
In order to divorce in Wake County, you or your spouse must be a resident of the state of North Carolina for 6 consecutive months at the time of filing. You can have lived anywhere in North Carolina during that time period as long as you or your spouse have an address in Wake County at the time of filing.
Separation Period Requirement
Additionally, you must have lived separate and apart for one full year from your spouse before filing. This can be satisfied by living at separate addresses without any marital relations (ie spending the night together) during that time period. You can than file for divorce a year and a day after the separation period began. This can be done consecutively with the North Carolina residential requirement.
Resolve All Other Issues Prior to Divorce
Once you have filed for divorce in Wake County, you can no longer settle any other issues involved in divorce, including property division and alimony or spousal support. As these items are related to the marriage, the end of the marriage naturally warrants the end of any right to divide property or grant spousal support. Be sure to settle all of these prior to filing for absolute divorce.
