Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

My ex and I have the "no overnight guest not related by blood or marriage" in our agreement. I want to move in with my boyfriend ...the lease on our new apartment has both our names on it. Would he still be considered an overnight guest if it is both of ours apartment?

By agreement, I assume you mean a written separation agreement. If so, then your new living arangement would violate that agreement. The question then becomes if you do violate the terms of that clause - what is the penalty? Often that type of clause is stuck in a separation agreement without a specific penalty attached. Before you violate the clause you should seek the advice of a local attorney to determine what could possibly happen if you violate the agreement. You could also consider talking to your ex to see if he would be willing to ammend that portion of your agreement.
