"Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco has filed for divorce from her tennis pro husband, Ryan Sweeting. She cited that the two separated due to "irreconcilable differences" as she likely filed in a jurisdiction that requires fault by at least one party before a divorce is finalized.* However, in North Carolina, neither party has to necessarily be at fault. The steps for filing divorce in NC are listed below:- In NC you must be separated for 1 year (unless your spouse is incompetent or insane).
- After this one year separation you can file for divorce using the forms provided at most clerk's offices or by submitting a complaint for absolute divorce.
- Your spouse is then served and he/she has 30 days to respond to and/or challenge your complaint for divorce. If your spouse is served and does not respond within the 30 day period, you may file for a Summary Judgment Divorce which automatically grants your divorce because no one has challenged it.
- You will then be awarded an Absolute Divorce or "Divorce Decree" signed by a judge ending your marriage and allowing you to re-marry.
Remember that you must file to separate the property, receive spousal support, and request alimony before your final divorce decree is entered or you lose them forever.
Filing
all of the claims related to the marriage/divorce at once will also
save you some money because there is just one filing fee! You can file
for child support and child custody at anytime before, during or after
the marriage depending on your living situation. However, there will be a
separate filing fee if you do them each separately, so ask your
attorney about filing them all at once.
