Ms. Fritts,  
I wish I could hire you, but my finances won’t allow me to. Any pointers you could offer would be appreciated.

Would it be hard to divorce someone who lives in Canada?  
I live in NC, and they live in Canada. Neither has ever moved to the other person’s country. The wedding took place in Canada. How would I go about filing for a divorce. Been living separate for over 3 years now.
