Answer s for "States of confusion!"  (1) (You must be logged in to answer)
wow!  you can file in the state you live in.  almost all states have a waiting period that you have to live there a certain period of time before you have established yourself and can file for divorce. 

i am not an attn, but a read a bit in NC law - looks like to me that the the residency rquirement is 6 mo.  you can get a no fault divorce if you have lived apart of a year, or get a fault based divorce. 

i would talk to an attn to get started - most have a free initial consultation and can review all the fault stuff,etc.....
