There are only two grounds for obtaining an absolute divorce in North Carolina. First, insanity while living apart for three consecutive years and second, the one year separation with the intent not to resume the marital relationship. So, the answer is, “no”. Often individuals confuse an absolute divorce with a divorce from bed and board.
