In North Carolina, usually the divorce is granted first and the the more complex issues such as equitable distribution, alimony, support, etc., are heard later.

It will be granted that day unless there is some problem with paperwork or elsewhere. Don't get married again until you receive a document entitled Notice of Entry of Judgment.

Your attorney best but it depends on the Judge.

If there is no opposition and you qualify for an immediate entry of Judgment then it should be granted the same day. However, normally the party requesting the bifurcation must be present to testify to the jurisdictional facts.
