“On what grounds can I file for divorce?”
North Carolina divorce laws provide two grounds for divorce:
Consult with an attorney to determine which grounds you particular case permits. Most divorces are based on “One Year’s Separation”. Not many cases are filed claiming the divorce should be granted due to incurable insanity or mental illness despite those claims being part of a divorce case or the ultimate cause of marital problems between the parties.

My primary choice for recommendation on Family Law and Mediation. I have known them for years and they are one of the key places that understands and is effective with Father issues. I learned about them when I was helping with the Raleigh Men's Center years ago. I would also recommend them to a woman and Mother as well. Thanks for doing such a good job with the clients I have recommended to you they always come back and thank me.
I was going through so much at the time and it seemed like i was always contacting the firm to be reassured about one thing or another; but they never lost patience with me and always kept things professional, while explaining the details to me so i could understand what was going on and what my options were. This law firm saved me, i’d stand by everyone there if ever need be.
John McNeil and the attorneys who work with him are absolutely awesome. John has mediated many extremely difficult, complex divorce cases for my clients and me, and every single time, we have reached a settlement. He is very knowledgeable and has the right temperament to persuade and explain things to people while also making them feel heard. His staff are also professional, kind, and efficient. I will continue to use John McNeil as a mediator in my family law cases and highly recommend him!
