You can simply file a divorce complaint in North Carolina in whatever county you currently live in. The problem will be serving him with the complaint. Usually the best approach is to use a delivery service like Fedex or UPS and have restricted, signature only delivery.

You can file for divorce in North Carolina. The issue is serving him with the summons and divorce complaint. You have to effectuate service on your husband to proceed with the divorce in NC. It is also a requirement that you have been a resident of North Carolina for at least six months immediately prior to filing for the divorce. You really should seek legal counsel to handle your divorce to ensure that the service of process is properly completed. Good luck.
