Can I represent myself for a sep/div?

Dear Babyluvs1958:

Greetings. I would tell you that our website provides a lot of information on divorce in North Carolina, but it is not the same as going to law school and learning the rules of court, the rules of civil procedure, how to research, how to brief cases, and all the other wonderful things lawyers are trained in. My suggestion is that you talk to an attorney to see what they can do for you. There are many options to help you obtain funds from your spouse in a timely and efficient manner. Best of luck and keep us posted.
