Uncontested Absolute Divorce

A legal end to a marriage that permanently dissolves the relationship, allowing both parties to remarry

An absolute divorce is the legal process that officially ends a marriage. Once granted by the court, it dissolves the marital relationship completely and restores each person to the status of being single.

​

In North Carolina, an absolute divorce is typically granted when:

• The spouses have lived separate and apart for at least one year, and

• At least one spouse intends for the separation to be permanent.

​

An absolute divorce is different from the issues that often accompany it—such as property division, child custody, child support, or alimony. Those matters must be filed before the divorce is finalized, or they may be lost. The divorce itself is usually a straightforward process once the separation requirement has been met.

​

For many clients, obtaining an absolute divorce provides closure and the ability to move forward with life.
