I believe it doesn’t matter where he files with respect to NC or batonrouge. As long as he’s been a NC resident for 6 months, he should be able to file here in NC. I was married in SC and just obtained my legal seperation. And can and will file for divorce here in NC as well.
Dear Genesha:
Greetings. I believe that your fiance can file here in North Carolina since this is his home of residence. You do not have to file for divorce where you were married under NC law.
After he files, he must serve her with the divorce complaint, which may take a while, depending on which method he uses to obtain service on his wife. After service is obtained, he must wait 30 days prior to filing for summary judgment and filing a notice of hearing. Then, after ten days he can go to the divorce hearing. On average, about 45 days - 60 days after service of the original divorce complaint. Best of luck!

My fiance has been separated from his wife for over 2 years. He’s filing for uncontested divorce how long will it take before everything is finalized will he have to file here or batonrouge because thats were he was married he has been in nc for three years he just returned from an 8month deployment to kuwait.
