• legal separation spousal entitlement in NC after 27 years of marriage and primary caregiver to children

  Asked in Oakboro, NC | March 25, 2026

  My husband recently notified me with a legal separation agreement. From what I gather, the only thing I will be given in the settlement is the house, but I will have to continue paying fees, taxes, and repairs. He has pretty much removed himself from any type of financial responsibility--meaning that I'm completely starting over at 53 and after 27 years of marriage. I have been the primary caregiver to our 2 children, now 24 and 20, and haven't had a stable career since 2012 as a law enforcement officer--giving it up in order for him to pursue his as a firefighter, then engineer, then captain which kept him from home for 24 hour shifts, as well, as weeks of natural disaster deployments. I've had jobs, but nothing steady, in order to maintain a healthy stability for our children. I have also been laid off from the job I only had for a month due to the government's Reduction in Force (RIF) initiative, and I'm desperately searching for another. I know I deserve more than has been proposed to me in this agreement and need help and guidance.
