Legal Separation

Legal Separation

Divorce can be one of the most challenging experiences in a person's life, and navigating the myriad of legal terms and procedures surrounding it can be equally overwhelming. If you are in North Carolina and find yourself contemplating separation or divorce, it is essential to understand the nuances of terms like "divorce from bed and board," "legal separation," separation agreements, and the importance of hiring a separation lawyer. 

What is Divorce from Bed and Board in North Carolina?

Divorce from bed and board in North Carolina, is a legal separation that does not dissolve the marriage but allows spouses to live apart. It is often granted for specific reasons, including adultery, abandonment, or cruel and inhuman treatment. This type of divorce does not allow either spouse to remarry since the legal marriage still exists.

The chief difference between divorce from bed and board and absolute divorce lies in the fact that the former does not terminate the marriage. Instead, it allows the filing spouse to obtain certain rights, such as a court order regarding property distribution. Those who wish to explore this option should consult a legal professional to assess their circumstances and understand the implications.
