Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

No you do not need your wife's permission, consent or even for her to 'agree' or sign anything to get divorced. In North Carolina, there are two simple requirements to filing for divorce: 1) either you OR your spouse must have lived in NC for at least 6 months prior to filing for divorce AND 2) you must have been physically separated (not living together) for at least one year. If you meet those two requirements, you are entitled to a divorce as a matter of law - meaning there is nothing your spouse can do to legally prevent it.
