Frequently Asked Questions
What are the grounds for divorce in North Carolina?
North Carolina requires a one-year separation period before filing for a no-fault divorce. You and your spouse must live in separate homes with the intent to end the marriage. Adultery is also a ground for divorce but requires proof.
How is child custody decided in Jacksonville NC?
North Carolina courts decide custody based on the best interest of the child. Judges consider factors like the childs safety, each parents ability to care for the child, and the childs relationship with each parent. Custody can be joint or sole, legal or physical.
How long do I have to file for child support in North Carolina?
You can file for child support at any time while the child is under 18 or up to age 20 if the child is still in high school. There is no time limit to file, but back support is generally limited to the date of filing. The court uses North Carolina child support guidelines to calculate payments.
