Divorce Process Serving in North Carolina

Your spouse must be formally served for a divorce to proceed. SimpleDivorce assigns a licensed process server who delivers the papers, documents each attempt with GPS and time stamps, and returns a notarized affidavit of service for the court. In North Carolina, after the 1-year separation, an uncontested filing typically finalizes in 1–2 months.
