The short answer is - Yes! If you meet the eligibility requirements for a divorce in North Carolina you are entitled to a divorce as a matter of law meaning there is nothing anyone can legally do to prevent it. There are two requirements 1) be physically separated (not living together) for at least one year with at least one of you having the intent not to resume the marital relationship AND 2) one of you must have resided in NC for at least 6 months prior to the divorce being filed. The fact that you are pregnant with a child that is not your husband's is irrelevant.
