Question 1
A client wants to file for an absolute divorce in North Carolina. The spouses have lived in physically separate residences for 13 months, and the client moved out intending the separation to be permanent. What is the core substantive requirement the client must satisfy under N.C.G.S. 50-6?
Correct Answer:
Living separate and apart for one year, with one party intending the separation to be permanent
Question 2
Spouses separated on March 1. In June, while still living apart, they spent a single weekend together and had sexual relations, then returned to separate residences. The plaintiff filed for absolute divorce the following March. How does the isolated weekend affect the one-year separation period under N.C.G.S. 50-6?
Correct Answer:
It does not toll the period because isolated incidents of intercourse do not interrupt the statutory separation

Correct Answer:
Either party must have resided in North Carolina for six months before filing
Question 4
A husband wants to dissolve his marriage but the spouses have been separated for only three years due to one spouse's incurable insanity, and they want a faster route than waiting for a one-year separation tied to other grounds. Which provision allows divorce based on incurable insanity in North Carolina?
Correct Answer:
N.C.G.S. 50-5.1, which permits divorce after three consecutive years of separation caused by incurable insanity
Question 5
A spouse seeks a court-ordered separation that addresses support but does not dissolve the marriage, alleging the other spouse abandoned the family and committed cruelty. What North Carolina remedy fits these facts?
