Getting Divorced in Raleigh: What to Know First
North Carolina has a few rules that apply to every divorce filed in Raleigh:
You and your spouse must live separate and apart for one year before either of you can file for divorce.
At least one of you must have lived in North Carolina for six months before filing.
Divorce cases in Wake County are handled at the Wake County Courthouse, 316 Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh.
Property division, custody, child support, and alimony are separate issues from the divorce itself, and many of them can be settled by agreement or through mediation during your year of separation. A separation agreement is often the best place to start.

You can file once you have been separated for one year. After your spouse is served, they have 30 days to respond before the divorce can move forward. Property, custody, and support can take longer, which is why many people settle them during the separation year.

It does not change whether you can get divorced, since North Carolina divorce is based on the one-year separation. It can affect alimony, and it may lead to an alienation of affection claim.
