How to Get a Divorce in NC?
North Carolina Is a No-fault Divorce State
Spouses often resolve their marital claims prior to the divorce being granted. Divorcing spouses should enter into a Separation Agreement and Property Settlement although it is not necessary to obtain a divorce. If you obtain a divorce without entering into a Separation Agreement and Property Settlement or prior to bringing a court action asserting your claims, then you waive your ability to assert marital claims as to property division and alimony and separation support.
Our divorce lawyers are experienced in handling settlement negotiations and will ensure that your rights are fully protected. A settlement is a far better alternative to litigation. Besides saving money, time and stress, through effective negotiations spouses are able to retain control of their decisions, keeping it out of the hands of a judge.
If you are faced with a divorce, an experienced Charlotte, NC trial attorney can ensure your rights and interests are well protected. Contested cases are decided by the courts. Like any lawsuit, the process involves pleadings, discovery, motions, hearings, mediation and potentially a trial.
The family law attorneys at the Cox Law Firm will not hesitate to try a case if needed. However, if a settlement can be reached we will do everything in our power to do so, when it is in our client’s best interest. Even if litigation has begun, settlement discussion should never be off the table.
