Greetings, You may be eligible to file for DIVORCE in the State of North Carolina if North Carolina has jurisdiction. So what you will need to do first is to determine three things. 1. Determine Child Custody/Asset issue if there is anything involved, and even Alimony, if you would like to receive it and or if you are eligible for it. You can go over these details with an attorney of your choice. 2. You need to determine whether this will be a Contested Divorce or Uncontested. Contested Divorce is where you guys don't agree to divorce and or don't agree on the terms and conditions of Custody/Alimony/Child Support/etc. The more flexible you both are the simpler the case process will be and the cheaper it will come out. Uncontested Divorce is $2,500 and $4,500+ for Contested Divorce. 3. Determine your budget and the attorney you would like to work with. I am licensed in New York and New Jersey.
