  1. If you and your spouse agree on all issues and execute a notarized separation agreement, once the year and a day separation time has passed what is the next step?

  2. Do you just file some paperwork with the County (Mecklenburg in this case) and 30 days later get some notification that the divorce is official, or do you have to go to court for a day, get something signed and wait for something in the mail?

  3. Is it good to have an itemized list of who-gets-what in the separation agreement for, say, everything >$500?

Thanks.
