Absolute Divorce

North Carolina Absolute Divorce

In the state of North Carolina, the legal dissolution of a marriage is referred to as “absolute divorce,” and it is a completely separate from issues such as child support, child custody, alimony, and property division. North Carolina is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning the parties aren’t required to prove any wrongdoing on the behalf of the other party in order to file for an absolute divorce.

Upon being granted an absolute divorce, certain rights will end, including a spouse’s right to share in the other spouse’s estate, and the right to file a claim for spousal support or equitable distribution.
