Can I File for Divorce?
There are now only two grounds for divorce in North Carolina. All fault grounds have been abolished.
1. Separation for One Year
If a husband and wife have separated with the intent of ending their marital relationship and have lived separate and apart for one year without resuming their marital relationship, either may file for divorce, provided one of the parties has been a resident of the state for at least six months. Spouses living in the same house are not living separate and apart. Whether there has been a resumption of the marital relationship during the separation period will be determined by all of the circumstances. Isolated incidents of sexual intercourse during the separation period will not be considered a resumption of the marital relationship.
2. Incurable Insanity
Where a husband and wife have lived separate and apart for three years because of the incurable insanity of one of them, the sane spouse may petition for divorce.

If you and your husband agree on how the property is going to be separated, child support and visitation, alimony and that sort of thing, you can file for a dissolution of marriage without an attorney. You can download the forms from the web and just have to pay filing fees. It sure cuts down on attorney fees. If you are low income, some courts will waive the fees or let you pay the fees in payments.

In NC you must be apart for 1 year. If you both want it you two can just state you were apart for one year. It can be cheep and quick if no kids are involved.
