Whether or not the reader plans to use an attorney, How to File for Divorce in North Carolina explains how the legal system works and what steps are necessary to complete a divorce in North Carolina. This edition includes expanded material on child custody, visitation, and the enforcement of child support payments. Information relating to the collection of payments, including the use of electronic transfers, is also covered.
As with most states, North Carolina offers contested and uncontested divorces; however, it also offers a third choice known as the Standard Divorce Procedure. This choice allows for an amicable dissolution when there are no assets, no children, and no alimony claims. This new edition includes the four forms needed for filing this kind of procedure with the court. Appendices covering the North Carolina statutes, the child support guidelines, plus more than twenty-five blank, tear-out forms complete the package.
