Do My Spouse and I Have to Be Legally Separated Before Pursuing Our Family Law Case?

If you are pursuing a divorce in North Carolina, you and your spouse must live separately for one year, with the intention of the arrangement being permanent, before you can move forward with the proceedings. In short, there is no “legal separation.” However, spouses can begin outlining a separation agreement as soon as they move into two different residences that includes their financial, child custody, and visitation agreements that may set the groundwork for their divorce proceedings.

Can My Spouse Refuse to Cooperate with My North Carolina Family Law Case?

In North Carolina, one spouse cannot refuse a divorce, or avoid participating in the legal requirements necessary to establish child custody or child support hearings. If you are married, and your spouse is refusing to participate in the proceedings, talk to your Salisbury family lawyer about your legal rights and options to proceed, despite his or her involvement in the process.

Can My Spouse and I Use the Same Family Law Attorney in Salisbury, North Carolina?

No. Simply put, when you and a previous partner or spouse are involved in a family law case in North Carolina, you have competing interests. Even if you agree on how to distribute your property and any other details — including child custody, child support, and financial support needs — both must obtain their own family lawyer to ensure their rights are protected during the negotiations and before they sign anything. Our Salisbury family law attorney can help ensure your best interests are protected from the beginning of your case through its completion.

How Long Will My North Carolina Family Law Case Take?

Our Salisbury family law attorneys outline each client’s unique legal needs from the start of their cases to help ensure they understand the totality of their agreements — before they sign anything. From a timing standpoint, this means something different for everyone. If you know your soon-to-be-ex-spouse is going to contest each detail of your divorce, it is probably safe to say your legal proceedings will take longer than a couple who agrees on how they are going to part ways. While each North Carolina family law case is unique, our Salisbury attorneys can help you understand how your case will unfold and the timing associated with its resolution so you know what to expect now and going forward.

What Real Clients Have To Say

Tara D.

I was at a point of despair & thought that my then employer would do the right thing. Lou’s honesty, and integrity; along with his guidance gave me the dose of reality that I needed to see the true colors of legality in corporate America. Without his savvy I would have been blindsided! Cherie, always responded to all of my responses, and nervous reactions and made sure Lou was aware of what was happening! Great firm, I would highly recommend to anyone who wants respect, honesty and guidance as a client!

Aunyette S.

Mr.Waple has handled both of my cases very well. I definitely recommend this team of professional lawyers and secretaries. Thank you!

Tashaun H.

My experience working with Lou was an absolute joy. From our very first conversation, he assured me that he would work relentlessly to help me secure adequate compensation for my case and he did just that. His paralegal, Cheri, was helpful with timely responses to any and all questions I had and she helped reduce the stress of a very tedious process. I highly recommend this firm for any future litigation and would love to work with them again if the opportunity arises.

S.D.

Lindsey Houk helped me gain custody of my son from a very toxic and unhealthy environment with his biological mom. Thanks to Lindsey, I was able to provide him with the stability he needed. Thank you for your hard work and unwavering dedication to our case. You were always available, promptly filed emergency documents, and provided unwavering support from the moment we first discussed my case in your office. Some might say you were just doing your job, but whatever the case, my family appreciates you so much. My son is the true definition of...

Tammy A.

Mr. Lou Waple & his associates rendered great & professional services to me from day one handling my case. They are very friendly & stayed on top of everything. I will use them again if needed in the future & I highly recommend them to others.

Jessie W.

Lou and the team was just what I needed. They never left me in doubt. It was like he held my hand the whole way through. He worked with the workers comp agency and I didn't have to deal with them. Thanks team.

David P.

Lou and Cheri were absolutely amazing! Cheri went above and beyond any expectations I had to make sure I was taken care of. Lou was there for all of my questions and made sure the mediation went the way it should by engaging the moderator and making sure the insurance company was held responsible for the compensation to me for my injuries. Thank you both and your entire team for helping me through this horrendous tragedy. I am forever grateful to you!

Scott H.

Fantastic staff. Very friendly, knowledgeable. Exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend!

Chelsea B.

I have never had to even think about finding a lawyer considering I’m only 31, never would I imagined needing one. But Waple and Houk saved my life. Lou Waple, I can’t say enough kind words about this man. He become part of my life not just a lawyer, he listened when I cried, he fought for me like no one else was, he got what I deserved in the end and if it wasn’t for him idk where I’d be...

Susan H.

Lou Waple was the best. I’ve never had to deal with a workman’s compensation claim before. Lou was there any time to answer my questions and concerns and made sure I was treated fairly. I highly recommend his services.
