What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
My husband and I moved to North Carolina, from New York, in January 2009 and we are at the point where he is threatening divorce. I know that NC law states that we must be seperated for one year before filing for divorce, but it also says that we must be residents for one year. Does that mean that we have to wait until January 2010 to seperate and then wait until January 2011 to actually get divorced? Should (or can) we file in NY even though we have not lived there for over 6 months?
