my sister lives in nc and was wondering if she got an order of protection from her husband can she use that to prove they have been seperated for a year so she can file for divorce in the state of north carolina when its almost been a year

According to North Carolina Statute 50-6, if you have been living apart for one year, you can file for no-fault divorce. If a restraining order has been in effect for one year, that would serve as proof.

I do not know..BUT I would assume that the judge would say that an order of protection can be broken between parties...
She should just file for legal seperation

You do not have to prove that you have been separated for a year. (paper proof anyway). Even if you have had sex during that time.
You just need to be able to state and verify separate addresses.

Can't anyone testify for her?
Was it top-secret?
All she needs is an affidavit.
As for the restriction, it couldn't hurt if she truly needs it...
not just as a means to an end.

She will need to talk to the courts where she lives. I would suggest moving to Vegas for 6 weeks. That's all it takes there. :)
