About Us

North Carolina Divorce School provides women with the advice and instruction they need to prepare and file the paperwork required to handle their own simple divorce and family law matters.  Women going through divorce must confront challenges on multiple fronts – resolving custody issues, settling finances, dividing property and rebuilding self-confidence, dealing with change and redefining goals.  North Carolina Divorce School adopts a holistic approach to the divorce process because we are convinced that empowering a woman to take charge of her divorce may be the first step to empowering her to take charge of her new life.  Women who take advantage of the services, tools and resources offered through North Carolina Divorce School will not only get divorced but will also find the support and encouragement they need to move beyond it.
