Divorce / Separation

Those considering a divorce often do not know their legal rights and obligations, which makes consulting a Cary divorce lawyer an absolute necessity. The NC divorce attorneys at Charles R. Ullman & Associates have over a decade of experience handling family law matters. Whether you are the spouse filing for divorce or the spouse responding to a divorce action, we will work closely with you and help you make the best decisions possible.

We handle all divorce-related issues, including:

North Carolina law requires that at least one spouse has resided in the state for a minimum of six months prior to filing the divorce action. There are two types of divorce: no-fault and fault-based. In a no-fault divorce, fault does not have to be proven because neither spouse blames the other for the marital breakdown. After a one-year period of living separately, a divorce can be granted as long as the paperwork has been properly processed. In a fault-based divorce, a legal reason must be given for the breakdown such as adultery, mental illness, abandonment, or bigamy. This type of divorce is often sought by couples who cannot reach a satisfactory settlement of issues like division of property or custody of children.

Entering into a divorce or separation without competent counsel can be devastating to your life.
