How Do I Prove I’m Separated for a North Carolina Divorce?

October 10, 2018 by WebNews

If you are seeking a divorce in North Carolina, the law requires you to show that you have “lived separate and apart for one year” from your spouse. In other states, the law doesn’t require spouses to physically move into separate residences and live completely apart. In North Carolina, however, living separate and apart for a one-year period is one of the conditions you must meet to qualify for an absolute divorce. While it may seem like an easy thing to prove, courts take the separation requirement quite seriously. If you have questions about this requirement, it’s very important to speak to an experienced North Carolina divorce lawyer. Your lawyer can explain your options and help you take steps to ensure your divorce unfolds smoothly. What If We Move Back in Together and Then Separate Again?

North Carolina Child Custody Lawyer – Making Divorce Easier on the Kids

January 31, 2018 by vitale family law

Witnessing verbal sparring and heated arguments can be stressful for children, especially in a divorce situation. When parents decide to end their marriage, they naturally worry how their divorce will affect their children. They might even have bad memories of their own parents’ divorce, which can make them reluctant to move forward with the divorce process.   However, research shows that children thrive more in a divorce situation than they do in unhappy households filled with bickering parents and high levels of conflict. If you and your spouse are unable to work it out, it may be better for your children if you and your spouse go your separate ways rather than try to stay aboard a sinking ship. If you have questions about child custody or how divorce in North Carolina affects minor children, get in touch with a North Carolina child custody lawyer today. Three Things You Can Do to Help Your Kids Cope with Divorce You don’t stop being your child’s parent just because you … [Read more...]

North Carolina Divorce Lawyer Discusses “Is January Divorce Month?”

January 25, 2017 by WebNews

It’s hard to believe that the New Year is already well under way. If you’re still cleaning up from the holidays and struggling to get back into the swing of work and other responsibilities, you’re definitely not alone. According to psychologists, post-holiday depression is a real condition that affects many people. As the end of the year wraps up and the New Year begins, many people also decide it’s time to end their marriage. You might have heard of a “January divorce boom,” but is there anything to it? Actually, there is. Data from a study performed at the University of Washington reveals that divorce filings really do spike in January. The study also showed that divorces surge in March and again in August. Divorce numbers also increase in January in the U.K., with one in five couples in Britain saying they plan to divorce after the holidays.
