Wilmington Divorce Lawyer

Experienced and Knowledgeable North Carolina Divorce Attorney

North Carolina offers two grounds for absolute divorce: the first is if the spouses live separate and apart from each other for one year; the second is if one of the spouses suffers from incurable insanity. In truth, however, this second option rarely applies. If you have been separated from your spouse for one year and would like to finalize your divorce or if you are now considering a divorce and would like to know how to separate from your spouse, I have the experience and knowledge necessary to assist you.

I am North Carolina native and family law attorney Ted Davis, Jr. I have over 26 years of experience assisting clients just like you. I have drafted comprehensive legal separation agreements and assisted clients in obtaining an absolute divorce. If you are considering divorce and would like to know your options, I encourage you to call me at 910-763-6249 or contact me online. We can schedule a meeting where we will go over your situation in detail.

Understand the Process of Legal Separation and Divorce

To be properly legally separated for one year, you must live separate and apart from your spouse for one year. This does not mean living in two separate bedrooms under the same roof. This means that one spouse must move out of the marital home for a full year. I understand this can raise many concerns in your mind, specifically relating to how you will financially support yourself and what will happen with your children.

I am dedicated to providing you with all the information you need so you will know how best to approach your situation. I will walk with you through every step of the process so you never feel alone or lost. I will prepare your separation agreement and finalized divorce settlement agreement, addressing all your concerns, including:

• Child custody, visitation and child support
• Spousal support during the separation and alimony after the divorce is finalized
• The property division of your marital assets and debts based on North Carolina's equitable distribution standards
• What will happen to your marital home
• And any other issue that may exist
