Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

My husband has taken me to court for equitable distribution in 2012.He had the case continued. Nothing has been done since. How long can this case go on legally? I need closure so I can proceed with divorce. I am 64 and on a fixed income.

If the only thing he filed for was ED, then there is nothing to prevent you from filing your own separate action for just a divorce. Our firm can do this for you for a flat rate fee of $395. If he filed for both divorce and ED and is now just jerking you along you can always file a motion to sever the divorce and proceed just on that issue. This will require that you hire a local attorney and will likely be fairly expensive.
