Dear spots498:

Greetings. In order to get a divorce in North Carolina, you do not require the other party’s signature. It sounds like your girlfriend does not have the right documents OR does not understand the correct procedure. Either way, you may want to talk to an attorney about this so that they can help you move her divorce along to a close. Best of luck.

My girlfriend and I are engaged and planning to wed. Our plans are on hold right now. She is still married, but legally seperated for 6 years. She has twin girls. She found out she was pregnant after they signed a seperation agreement. She has had full custody and he has not shown interest in the children. She went and filed for divorce several months ago. The problem is he will not sign the divorce agreement. Is there any thing I can do and can she do anything to get around getting his signature on the divorce agreement.
