How long does it take to get an Absolute Divorce in North Carolina?
You must be separated for one full year before filing. After filing, most divorces are finalized in 45–90 days, depending on the court’s schedule.
Do I have to go to court for an Absolute Divorce?
In many cases, only your attorney appears for the hearing. If your case is straightforward, you may not need to attend.
Can we still resolve custody or property issues after the divorce?
Yes. Custody, support, and property division can be handled before, during, or after the Absolute Divorce if properly preserved.
What if my spouse doesn’t want the divorce?
North Carolina does not require mutual agreement. If the separation requirement is met, one spouse can move forward alone.
Can I change my name during the Absolute Divorce?
Yes. You may request a name change in your divorce paperwork, and it can be granted at the time of the final judgment.
How much does an Absolute Divorce cost?
Costs depend on court fees and attorney time, but simple cases are generally more affordable. We provide transparency and predictable pricing whenever possible.
