Separation Agreements Lawyer
At Daly Mills Family Law, our skilled separation agreement lawyers know that the only two things that spouses must do to become separated are live in different residences, and for one or both to intend their separation to be permanent.
North Carolina spouses are not required to enter into a separation agreement or other written document to become legally separated. However, there are multiple benefits to determining the direction of their divorce, while the one-year waiting period passes.
Our dedicated family law attorneys have offices conveniently located in Mooresville and Charlotte, making us easy to find and even easier to reach, so our clients can achieve their goals in the way they want to achieve them.
When you are ready to talk, we are ready to fight for what you hold dear.
Do I Need a North Carolina Separation Agreement?
A separation agreement is a document that includes the agreed-upon terms dealing with various critical issues related to the separation.
That may include:
- Who will pay the existing marital expenses, or how the financial responsibilities will be divided.
- Who will remain in the marital home during the required one-year separation period.
- Who will have custody of the children and who is responsible for paying child support, when there are minor or dependent children in the home.
- Who, if anyone, is responsible for paying spousal support.
- How the marital, shared, and divisible property will be allocated.
Although not required, a North Carolina separation agreement can create the framework for the final divorce decree and streamline the overall legal process once the one-year waiting period is over.

Frequently Asked Questions for Our Separation Agreement Lawyers in North Carolina
What Makes a North Carolina Separation Agreement Valid?
Separation agreements must be in writing, signed by both parties, and notarized to be legally binding.
Can I Get Divorced in Less Than a Year in North Carolina if I Prove Fault?
No. North Carolina only allows for no-fault divorce, which requires at least one year of separation before the couple can officially file for divorce.
Do I Have to Sign a North Carolina Separation Agreement if My Spouse Presents One?
No. Like any contract, a North Carolina separation agreement must be voluntarily formed and signed indicating that both parties agree to the terms. Your spouse cannot compel you to enter into an agreement or to agree to certain terms without your voluntary participation.
