Divorce Interview Form

This is a quick, easy, straight forward form. Some fields are required and can not be left blank. If you don't know the answer to a required field, just type 'unknown' and move on to the next question. We will assist you with unknown question(s) later.

Please Note: A Standard Uncontested Divorce is $395 and can be completed in 45 to 60 days. We can complete it quicker in 30 to 45 days if your spouse is willing to cooperate with you. There is an additional fee $100 for a total of $495 for the Expedited Service. Doing your own divorce is not recommended but you may be able to save some money IF you are also eligible to have Court cost waived.
We MUST have your CURRENT FULL LEGAL NAME in the fields above. Usually this will be as it appears on your Driver License or other current government issued ID.
Enter Your FULL Address: Street Address, City, State and Zip Code (PO Box is OK)
Street Address (PO Box is OK)
Suite / Apt. or other Address Information
City
State/Province
Zip/Postal
If you do not enter your full address including the street address, city, state and zip code - it may delay the processing of your divorce and you likely will not receive a hard copy of your divorce complaint in the mail.
If you live in Louisiana, enter the Parish you live in. If you live in an Incorporated City or outside the United States this entry may not apply. If so, write Incorporated City, 'NA' or 'Unknown'.
Either you OR your spouse MUST have resided in the state of North Carolina for at least the past 6 months to be eligible to file for divorce in North Carolina.
Your e-mail address will not be sold or used for any purpose other than for us to contact you directly.
This field is OPTIONAL. If you do not want to be contacted by phone just leave blank!
The exact date of marriage is critical. If you do not know the exact date - we may be able to look it up for you if you know where you were married.
If married in Louisiana, enter the Parish. If married outside the United States, enter the Country and that countries' equivalent of City, County, and State

Children born or adopted BEFORE the marriage do not need to be included.
You can choose to go back to the name you were born with. This is most commonly known as your 'Maiden or Birth Name'. Or you may choose to resume a former married name IF you also have minor children from that former marriage or the former spouse is deceased. You can not change your name to anything other than your Maiden or Birth Name or a Former Married Name in a divorce action. If you want to change your name to something else, you will need to go through the formal name change process with your local county clerk of courts office.
This field is OPTIONAL however, if you want to resume your Maiden Name or Former Married Name and you do not provide your birth date or provide an incorrect birth date, you will most likely have difficulty changing government ID's such as your drivers license and Social Security card.
If you have a Separation Agreement we will need to see a copy of it - please do not send your original document.
If you have a written Separation Agreement - Do you want it Incorporated into the Divorce Judgment? * Required Field

If you do not know your spouse's address, you can still get divorced but it may require doing a legal publication in a major newspaper where your spouse was last know to live. The cost for a legal publication varies, so if you need to serve your spouse by this method we will need to get a quote for you. This cost is not included in the $395 fee. We recommend doing everything you can to locate a good address for your spouse because it is by far much less expensive to serve your spouse by certified mail or by sheriff.
If your spouse lives in Louisiana, enter the Parish they live in. If your spouse lives in an Incorporated City or outside the United States this entry may not apply. If so, write 'NA' or 'Unknown'.
NOTE: We will likely need to verify your Spouse's military status. This is done by a simple affidavit but does require personal information such as your spouse's date of birth and social security number.
NOTE: This information is needed to verify and prepare an affidavit of military status. It is OPTIONAL at this stage if you prefer not to provide in now but we will likely need it at some point.
Do you have any Unresolved Marital Issues? (check all that apply) * Required Field
If you have unresolved marital issues, you may need a formal written Separation and / or Property Settlement Agreement. This is an additional fee and would need to be done prior to the divorce. If you divorce without resolving certain marital issues you may be barred from having the court decide those issues later.

READ ON FOR ADDITIONAL DIVORCE INFORMATION:

In North Carolina, there are two (2) basic requirements for an Uncontested Divorce:

1) Either the Husband OR the Wife must have resided in the State of North Carolina for at least six (6) months prior to filing the Divorce, AND  2) The Husband and Wife must have been physically separated (not living together) for at least one (1) year with the intention of at least one of the parties not resume the marital relationship.  If you meet these two simple requirements – you are most likely eligible for an Uncontested Divorce in North Carolina.   

Our Service is for an Uncontested Divorce only (meaning you are not fighting with your spouse about other matters).  Please discuss the divorce with your spouse BEFORE you hire us to make sure you both AGREE and want a divorce.  If your divorce becomes contested, we may have to dismiss your case or have it moved to another county!  Also, unless you have a properly drafted Separation Agreement, once this type of Divorce is filed, you may be waiving claims to Equitable Distribution (a Court division of property), Post Separation Support and / or Alimony (any monetary support payments from your spouse).  If you have questions about this, call us.  While it may sound complicated and lawyerly, it’s not and takes about 5 minutes to explain.

Our fee for an Uncontested Divorce is a flat rate fee of $395*.  Our law firm prides itself on having the lowest and most affordable attorney fee in the entire state of North Carolina and for providing a professional, easy, convenient and inexpensive way to get our clients through the divorce process.  The process normally takes 45 to 60 days to complete from start to finish.  If you and your spouse are interested in speeding up the process AND your spouse is willing to cooperate with you, the divorce can be completed in 30 to 45 days or sooner.  There is an additional fee of $100 for the quicker expedited service – just let us know in the Divorce Interview Form if you want expedited service.

NOTE: Our fee of $395 includes everything needed for a standard Uncontested Divorce including Court Cost and Expenses such as service of the Divorce Complaint by certified mail which is sufficient for most clients if you have a good mailing address for your spouse.  However, the fee does not cover other methods of service such as service by sheriff or by a legal publication in a newspaper if you do not have a good address for your spouse.
