In North Carolina there are no papers for her to sign. If you have filed your divorce and properly served her. Then it is her responsibility to answer the divorce complaint within 30 days of being served. In her answer she may contest the date of separation. You may not simply 'cross through' the date to make corrections. You should have hired an attorney to do this for you. For $375 which includes the $225 filing fee our firm would have handled this matter for you and delt with your wife accordingly. Feel free to call us at (910) 333-9679 if you have other questions.
