Dear Oh2sing:

Greetings. Sorry to hear that you are already contemplating divorce. I am not clear though, were you living in North Carolina for the last six months, but vacationed in Florida and got married, or did you move from Florida to North Carolina after the marriage. Thank you.

Dear Oh2sing:

Then you are a resident of North Carolina and you would file for divorce in North Carolina after one year of separation. Keep your chin up!

I was married four months ago in Florida. We both live in N.C. Will I be under the N.C. Laws or can I go to Florida and file for divorce?
