Divorces in North Carolina fall into two categories: uncontested and contested. In uncontested divorces, couples are on the same page about how to allocate shared assets while in contested cases, couples do not agree on the division of assets. In contested divorces, there are common factors couples do not agree on. These main points of conflict include:

• The division of their property. Property division tends to be a significant point of tension for couples. Property assets can include, real estate, retirement funds, stocks, cars, etc. In determining how to divide property between spouses, the court considers factors, such as the length of the marriage, children, and each spouse’s income.
• Child custody. If a couple shares children, they must negotiate child custody and parenting responsibilities. Courts may grant physical custody to both or one parent depending on the factors surrounding the divorce.
• Child support. Child support refers to ensuring a child receives financial support after the divorce. In North Carolina, both parents are required to pay child support until the child turns 18. Generally, only the non-custodial parent formally pays child support, as it’s assumed the parent who has primary custody will already spend money on resources for the child.
• Alimony. In alimony agreements, one spouse is required to financially support the other. In determining alimony agreements, the court will consider the income gaps between spouses, the length of the marriage, and each party’s financial situation.

Most major points of conflict within a divorce tend to fall into one of these categories. If you suspect your divorce will bring conflict in one or more of these areas, it’s essential to have a skilled divorce attorney on your side.
