Greetings. You cannot file for divorce in North Carolina unless one of you has lived here for six months preceding the date of filing for divorce. Thank you.

My husband and I lived in NJ. In late June of '04 we seperated, and I moved to VA. In VA, I obtained seperation papers, but was not able to file them before I had to move again. The forms were notarised, just not filed with the VA courts. So now I am back home in NC, and know I am here to stay. But I am not sure what state I need to file the divorce papers with. I know with VA law, I can get my divorce now because with a seperation agreement you can divorce after 6 months. I am not sure of NC law. We had no children or property. There is nothing to dispute. I just want to end this marriage ASAP, as he now has another woman living with him.
