Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a no fault or uncontested divorce?
Some states require divorcing spouses to prove fault in order to be granted a divorce. North Carolina is a “no fault” divorce state. That means that neither party has to prove fault in order to obtain a divorce in North Carolina. In order to be granted a divorce (called an “absolute divorce” in North Carolina; some states call this a “dissolution of marriage decree”) spouses need only to have been separated for one year.
An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which the spouses do not disagree about the date of separation, do not have property claims or alimony claims or such claims have already been resolved in a separation agreement.
If both spouses agree on the date of separation and have no property or alimony issues (or have already resolved those issues in a separation agreement), the uncontested divorce service (absolute divorce) we offer here is an inexpensive and hassle-free option for obtaining a divorce.
How long will this take?
Completing the initial form should take less than 10 minutes. Once we receive your submission and payment, the process usually takes 8 to 10 weeks.

Disclaimer: Understand that the entry of a divorce judgment will terminate any claims you may have to post-separation support, alimony and equitable distribution. If you have not settled these claims in a separation agreement or properly filed them with the court before the judgment of divorce, then you lose the right to make any of those claims. Of course, our firm can assist you with any and all of these claims as well. If you do not have any of these issues, our firm will gladly assist you and proceed with procuring your no-contest divorce.
