What Are Grounds for Divorce in North Carolina ?

In North Carolina when you file for divorce, it is considered an "absolute divorce,". North Carolina is a no-fault divorce state. This means that you do not need to prove that either spouse is at fault to get divorced.

 

There are only two grounds for divorce in North Carolina:

 

  • separation for one year; or
  • incurable insanity of one spouse and living separate and apart (separation from cohabitation) for three consecutive years, including at the time where the petition is filed.

 

To get divorced using the one-year separation ground, you must have lived "separate and apart" for one year and at least one spouse must have had the intention to remain separate and apart. You do not need to file for "legal separation" in order to begin the one-year period.
