  • "My attorney and her team were nothing short of phenomenal."
    I can't say enough about this firm. When you're going through the tough things in life that require help from family law, you want a team by your side that treats you not like a client, but as a person, a friend. My attorney and her team were nothing short of phenomenal. I interviewed 5 attorneys before selecting whom to retain, and I would advise anyone to do the same, but surely you'll come to the same decision and realize Rech Law is everything you are looking for. Even when my attorney was unavailable during a suddenly pivotal juncture, another senior partner seamlessly stepped in.

  • "I think Katie and the staff doing an amazing job and would highly recommend."
    I'm not going to lie I went off of every one of their reviews being five stars to make my selection. I'm from South Carolina but I needed a North Carolina attorney so I didn't have any recommendations. I was not disappointed and I know how they have all 5-star reviews. They do exceptional work and very very responsive. They are on point from beginning to end and got me exactly what I was seeking in terms of custody. I think Katie and the staff doing an amazing job and would highly recommend.
    - Justin G.

    Types of Divorce in North Carolina

    Filing for divorce involves more than paperwork. It requires real decisions with long-term financial and personal consequences. As a no-fault divorce state, North Carolina doesn’t require spouses to prove marital wrongdoing such as infidelity or abuse. The standard requirement is that spouses have lived separately for at least one year, with at least one intending the separation to be permanent.

    Our divorce lawyers review your circumstances to identify which path fits your situation. North Carolina couples can file for:

    • Uncontested Divorce: North Carolina calls the legal dissolution of a marriage an “absolute divorce.” When both spouses agree on all terms, including child custody, property division, and alimony, the process typically moves faster and costs less. It’s worth noting that a spouse’s consent isn’t required to obtain a divorce in North Carolina; only the one-year separation requirement must be met.
    • Contested Divorce: Spouses file for a contested divorce when they can’t agree on one or more issues, such as visitation schedules or debt allocation. Contested divorces require litigation, with a judge making the final rulings. They tend to take longer and cost more than uncontested divorces, but they’re often a necessary path for couples navigating significant financial disputes or a history of domestic violence.
