  DIVORCE
  In North Carolina, a married couple must 
  be separated for one year before a 
  request for a divorce can be made. The 
  couple must live under two separate roofs 
  continuously for one year, with the intent 
  by at least one spouse to end the marriage 
  to obtain a divorce. Property division and 
  spousal support will be waived if they are 
  not fully resolved before the divorce is 
  granted or asked for through a lawsuit.  
 
  
 
 
  SEPARATION
  A Separation Agreement is a legal contract 
  between a Husband and Wife resolving 
  issues such as property distribution, 
  custody, child support and spousal 
  support. A Separation Agreement must be 
  notarized.
