Where does your husband live? Are you interested in divorce only, or equitable distribution, alimony, etc?

Dear Ms. Fritts,

My husband also lives in Italy right now. We are trying to see whether to get the divorce it will be necessary for me to completely move myself and all of my belonging back to the US. It is a very amiable situation and the most simple of divorce cases you probably deal with. Just divorce. No children, no property to worry about.

Dear Family Law specialist,

I am writing from out of state (actually from out of country) and am considering using Rosen Law Firm to gather the necessary paperwork for my divorce case.
I currently live in Italy (but my husband and I married in California). I am American, my parents live in NC currently and NC is where I grew up. I have read that 6 months residency time is required in the state of NC. Is it possibly to establish residency in NC as my US residence, but still continue to live here in Europe as well ? - i.e. re-open bank accounts in NC, have a North Carolina driver’s license etc?
How does one prove 6 months of residency prior to filing a divorce case ?

Thanks for your help - if I can find a way to meet the residency requirements, I would be interested in beginning to consult with Rosen Law Firm.
