NC S626

Reduces the required separation period for divorce in North Carolina from one year to six months

Allows the six-month separation period to be waived entirely if both parties agree, the divorce is uncontested, and no minor children are involved

Permits domestic violence victims to file for divorce immediately without any separation period, provided they submit a statement and at least two forms of supporting evidence (law enforcement records, domestic violence program documentation, or medical professional documentation)

Abolishes the common-law civil causes of action for alienation of affection and criminal conversation

Changes do not apply to cases pending when the act becomes law; effective upon enactment for new actions filed after that date
