Seperation

Dear buddyashhh:

Greetings. Please note that you do not “file” for separation. Parties are legally separated in NC when they live in separate residences (not just separate rooms in their house). Instead, you want to have a separation agreement drafted and negotiated with your spouse while you wait to move. Best of luck.

I’m curious on the steps to take to file for seperation–Can you file for seperation even if you are still maintaining the same address? I’m curious on this because I’d like to go ahead and file for seperation, but we will not be able to afford a seperate place to live for at least 2 months.[V]
