NO.
Separation means living apart in a different address. You don’t file a separation in NC. You may have an separation agreement written up between you addressing issues of property, bills, support, and custody, but there is not such thing as a ‘legal separation’ that is filed with the courts.
There is nothing to file in North Carolina for separation, as there is no
Thank you!
You are welcome. Best of luck!

Hello,
I’d like to file for separation but I don’t have family in the area ( a place to go). Is it possible to file a separation agreement and still live in the same house as my spouse?
Thank you.
