Division of Property

North Carolina is an equitable distribution state, which means that the separate property of each party is not subject to division. Separate property includes everything acquired by each spouse before the marriage, personal gifts and inheritances, and any property acquired in exchange for separate assets. All the marital property of the couple acquired during the marriage shall be divided by the court equitably.

To determine what would be fair in a certain divorce case, the court considers factors such as:

  • each spouse's income, property, and earning capacity;
  • each spouse's financial liabilities;
  • the length of the marriage;
  • the age and health of both spouses;
  • any equitable claim to, interest in, or direct or indirect contribution made to the acquisition of such marital property by the party not having title;
  • and any other factors which the court may deem as relevant.

Our smooth breakup allowed us to file for uncontested divorce and we just decided to arrange it as simply as possible. Online divorce seemed to be a good idea, and now I'm sure we did it right. All the papers were prepared with no issues and I'm pleased with the price. Thanks.

I think that all the papers related to a certain county with its own legal nuances would be prepared correctly only by a North Carolina-based company. So that's why I used NorthCarolinaOnlineDivorce and I was really satisfied. My divorce papers were completed in a timely manner and I had no troubles with filing. That was a really smooth process and you can be confident with your filing.

It always seemed to me that divorce must be a much more complicated process. I couldn't imagine how I would cope with that. Where do I get all those papers, how to fill them out and where to go and what to do? So, I was really glad I found northcarolinaonlinedivorce.com and they took care of all the paperwork and gave me clear instructions on how to file with the court. That made the whole process so much easier!
