Re: How To Get Out

If you have met the residency requirement in NC, NC is the proper forum to bring your divorce action and you will need NC counsel. If you do not have the funds to hire a lawyer, I would suggest that you contact a legal services organization. Usually these agencies provide free domestic legal services to persons who meet thier eligibility requirements. If you cannot locate such a service in NC, you may be able to contact the NC bar association for assistance. Additionally, most bar associations will have a list of lawyers who provide pro bono (free) legal services. Good luck.
