Separation Agreement North Carolina requires a one-year separation period before filing for Absolute Divorce, which can take a month or more to obtain. It is crucial to have a thorough Separation Agreement drafted to cover the pertinent issues in your case and protect your interests in Post-Separation Support and Child Support. Collaborative Divorce is a new concept that is growing in North Carolina due to the positive benefits resulting from its use. Each spouse is represented by an attorney dedicated to the collaborative process of solving the issues with integrity and respect to both parties. The parties agree not to hide assets. It is a way to divorce with dignity and respect for one another. The attorneys work diligently to resolve all issues. If an issue can not be resolved, the parties participate in mediation with a mediator of their choice. If mediation fails to resolve the issue, an arbitrator is chosen to act as judge and make a determination and ruling that each spouse agrees to follow. Mediation is often preferred over going to court due to the cost savings and the ability to retain control over your life. Also, issues that could take a long time in the court process may be cleared up in a few hours of mediation, saving time, money and allowing you to move forward with your life. The intense negativity and prolonged anxiety of a court battle can be shortened and even eliminated with a positive, productive mediation experience. You choose the mediator and if you can not resolve the issues, you can still go to arbitration or court. Vicki is a trained mediator and she understands your desire to conclude your case with the most positive interaction, discussion and negotiation as is possible given your circumstances.
