Greetings. You take the Complaint and Summons (3 copies) to the courthouse and file. Then you mail one copy of each to the post office and mail with the green form. Thanks

Hi!
Thanks for your help…but what about all of the other forms? What order do they need to be filled out? Before I send him the papers?
Dont I have to mail my ex the papers and get the green card back (saying he received them) before I can file at the court house? Its all so confusing…I just need the exact order so I dont waste my time…I need it to be valid too…can someone list the exact order in which to fill out, send, and file the divorce papers in NC???
Hopefully I’m telling you something you already know or doesn’t apply to your case, but I tried to “file my own” after my lawyer said he wasn’t doing divorce law anymore and sent me the complaint via email to file myself, and was told by the clerk when I went to the courthouse that if it is a contested divorce (e.g., issues of equitable distribution not already settled) you really need a lawyer to navigate or it will not “go anywhere”. I consulted with a new attorney about my particular case who explained why I would have been wasting my money filing it myself.
Greetings. You will need to be more specific on what you are asking me here. I am not going to advise you stop by step on what to do, as that is already in the instructions for the divorce. Go there first.
