There are two types of divorce in North Carolina.
Absolute divorce is a final dissolution of all of the ties of marriage between the spouses.
Absolute divorce is what you generally think of as a divorce.
Divorce from Bed and Board is not a true divorce, but rather a judicial proceeding in which the parties become legally separated.
In North Carolina, the only ground for absolute divorce is separation of the spouses for at least one year and a day.
Historical fault-based grounds like adultery are still factors for alimony and divorce from bed and board, but they play no role in dissolving the marriage.

To qualify for an absolute divorce in North Carolina you must be legally separated for at least one year and a day.
Legal separation occurs on the date when one or both spouses move into a separate residence with the intention of living apart permanently.
You do not need a separation agreement nor do you have to file any papers or documents to be separated in North Carolina.
Furthermore, having a separation agreement, in itself, does not create a legal separation.
In some cases, couples can be separated while living in the same residence if the residence has essentially been divided into two independent, unconnected dwelling units.
