How to find out if divorce has been filed

North Carolina Divorce Law Divorce and Separation Answers

Unless one of you can come to North Carolina and go to a courthouse to look up the parties’ names on the courthouse computer, you’ll probably have to contact a lawyer in that county to see if they would be willing to do a search at the courthouse for you. Typically, the clerks are not willing to do that for you over the phone.

Good luck,

ok- i am trying to find out if and how you can find out if a divorce has been filed . my friend (male) has a he thinks ex-wife living in pfafftown. he has not had contact with her in over 5 years. How do you go about finding out if she has divorced him or not? I am in North Carolina now and he is in another state. I know there are public records, but if you dont know if it has been filed or when I cant really look for him. He does not have acess to a computer. any and all help would be greatly appreciated . can anyone just give me an idea where to start. Or give me the information to tell him where to start.
thanks
