We Help Cary Residents Going Through a Divorce

North Carolina is a no-fault divorce state. You do not need to show the other spouse’s fault for the marital breakdown. Instead, you merely need to prove either one of two grounds:

• Your and your spouse have lived separate and apart for at least one year, and either one of you have lived in North Carolina for six months; or
• You and your spouse have lived separate and apart for at least three years due to one spouse’s incurable insanity.

Don’t assume that this process is simple. Difficult issues can often arise. For instance, spousal support and equitable distribution of property actions must be brought before the divorce is final. If you do not take the proper steps, it may cost you important rights.

Our law firm also assists with legal issues that often arise as the result of one spouse obtaining an out-of-state divorce.

To learn more about the legal process and consequences of a North Carolina divorce, contact the Cary divorce attorneys of Charles R. Ullman & Associates immediately. While you focus on yourself and your family, we can handle the legal details and protect your rights and interests.

Our Cary Lawyers Also Assist with Legal Separations

An absolute divorce in North Carolina does not require showing fault. However, if you are seeking a legal separation – also called a divorce from bed and board – you must establish misconduct on the part of the other spouse.

The possible grounds for obtaining a legal separation include the other spouse’s cruel or barbarous treatment, drug abuse, adultery or pattern of unreasonable conduct

Keep in mind: A divorce from bed and board does not make one free to remarry as in an absolute divorce. However, by obtaining a legal separation, you may be entitled to seek:

• Asset division
• Child custody
• Child support
• Post-separation support and permanent alimony  

Whether you are seeking a divorce from bed and board or defending against one, the Cary separation attorneys of Charles R. Ullman & Associates can assist you. We can put our skill, experience and resources to work for you and make sure you are fully protected.
