Divorce Attorney In North Carolina
Understanding Divorce in North Carolina
Divorce is never easy — emotionally, financially, or legally. At The Emory Law Firm, P.C., we understand that this process represents one of the most challenging transitions in your life. Our goal is to guide you through it with compassion, clarity, and a firm commitment to protecting your rights.
North Carolina law requires at least one year of separation before filing for an absolute divorce. During that time, important decisions about property division, child custody, child support, and spousal support may need to be addressed. Our attorneys work closely with you to make sure your interests are represented and that every decision moves you closer to a fair and stable resolution.

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce
No two divorces are alike. At The Emory Law Firm, P.C., we help clients understand the differences between contested and uncontested divorces — and what each means for their situation. Knowing where your case falls can help you make informed decisions about how to move forward.
Uncontested Divorce
- An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues, including property division, child custody and support, and alimony. This type of divorce is typically less time-consuming and less expensive because it avoids lengthy court battles. While it may seem straightforward, it’s still important to have an attorney review your agreement to ensure it’s fair and complies with North Carolina law. Our team can help you finalize the process smoothly and efficiently so you can begin the next chapter of your life.
Contested Divorce
- A contested divorce happens when spouses cannot agree on one or more key issues. These disputes may involve finances, child custody arrangements, or disagreements over assets and debts. Contested divorces often require court intervention, which can make the process more complex and emotionally challenging. In these cases, The Emory Law Firm, P.C. provides strong legal representation, presenting your case clearly and advocating for your rights both in and out of the courtroom.
Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, our attorneys are here to guide you through the process with care, determination, and practical advice every step of the way.
