Almost all States have a simple unconstested divorce packet which you can fill out and submit with the appropriate filing fees. I beleive North Carolina does have an uncontested divorce packet. They are usually uniform thoroughout the State for the most part but some indivdual counties may have some local rules that you must follow. I would suggest that you go to the North Carolina Unified Court system site and you can probably download the forms there. Yopu can also go to the court in your County which handles divorces and go to the Clerk's office. They should be able to give you the forms. They usually come with detailed instructions on how to fill them out. Some courts have a program where litigants can sit down with someone to help them fill out the forms but you would have to look into this in your locality.
