How can a virtual attorney help with your divorce?
An absolute divorce in North Carolina is a legal process that occurs one year after the date of separation. Please note: this is separate than a property division pursuant to Equitable Distribution, spousal support claims or any claims with regard to children (as technically parties do not have to be married to birth children).
Within the absolute divorce process, the virtual attorney can gather important information such as date and location of marriage, date of births of both parties, and more. A virtual attorney can help draft the needed complaint and forms. With e-filing expanding throughout North Carolina, our team can now file pleadings without driving to the Courthouse. After filing and service of the absolute divorce documents (i.e. obtaining proof that the opposing party received the divorce documents), the process takes between 60-90 days. A virtual attorney can walk you through the entire process, and you can remain in the comfort of your own home. At the courthouse, a Judge will take a look at your divorce filings (all online in the counties in which eCourts has been instituted) and will eSign the Divorce Judgment. Once the divorce is completed, you will be emailed a copy for your records and you are all set!
If you or someone you care about is looking for a Virtual Family Law Attorney in an Absolute Divorce, our Modern Legal Team is here to help.
