| Date of Separation | |
| Statute: | N.C.G.S. §50-6 |
| Description | The day one spouse moves out intending to permanently end cohabitation and the relationship |
| Takeaway | The date of separation will be an important part of almost any divorce-related legal claim. |
Date of Separation is the day the spouses started living in separate buildings[1] intending to permanently end their relationship and cohabitation. The spouses have to be separated for one year without reconciling to qualify for a divorce decree.[2] However, the date of separation also determines the day child support or alimony begins accruing and the date used as a snapshot for property/debt.
