What is a Divorce from Bed and Board?
A divorce from bed and board is a judicial decree that formally separates spouses but does not dissolve the marriage. It’s a legal remedy available under North Carolina law that allows couples to be considered separated even if they are still living together. However, when combined with an interim distribution of the marital residence, can also be utilized to evict the offending spouse.
Grounds for Divorce from Bed and Board
In North Carolina, a court may grant a divorce from bed and board for several reasons, including:
Abandonment: One spouse has left the marital home without consent or justification.
Malicious Treatment: One spouse has treated the other with cruelty or abuse.
Adultery: One spouse has committed adultery.
Excessive Drug or Alcohol Use: One spouse’s substance abuse is harmful to the marriage.
