October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and informed.
At Triangle Divorce Lawyers, we believe access to education and trusted resources can make a meaningful difference. This month, we're sharing helpful information, free workshops, and community resources for you or someone you care about.
Could the One-Year Separation Rule Change?
North Carolina lawmakers are considering legislation that could shorten the separation period required for divorce.
Senate Bill 836 proposes reducing the requirement to six months, while House Bill 1070 proposes an exception for qualifying domestic violence survivors.
For now, the one-year separation requirement remains in effect. Neither bill has become law.
Tina Bailey, founder of BuildHER Collaboration Corp, shares why leaving an abusive relationship isn't always simple and how friends and family can offer meaningful support without judgment.
Recognize the signs. Understand your options. Know where to turn.
Whether you're concerned about your own relationship or supporting someone you care about, this FREE online workshop offers practical guidance on safety planning, emotional and financial challenges, and North Carolina legal options.
