The short answer is that nobody is ever required to hire an attorney for any type of court case in North Carolina. But, you proceed at your own peril without an attorney. In North Carolina, as soon as the divorce judgment is signed by a judge, you forever lose your rights to alimony and equitable distribution unless you have properly preserved those claims before the divorce is granted.
