Can I file for divorce in the same state as my spouse but in a different city?

In order to file for divorce in North Carolina, the person filing for divorce must have lived in NC for at least six months prior to filing for the divorce and have been separated for more than one year. Getting a divorce in NC, closes all issues of alimony and equitable distribution, so if those are issues that someone has then that person should not file for divorce without talking with an attorney. You should consult an attorney about the particular facts of your case.
