How can AB just opt out of a court appearance? I don't get it.
I didn't know that. I thought it was always a mandatory year. I guess you learn something new every day.
It is a mandatory year. You can get around it if you both sign something saying that you have been separated for year.
Edited to add: It's is one year and ONE DAY.
I'm not discrediting what you are saying, but I never signed anything to that fact, neither did my ex husband.
Maybe his lawyer set up a video appearance ?
Guess we will have to wait and see. Gonna be lots of mad folks in Hickory if AB is allowed to not face up to a judge when the court has scheduled he do so.
I haven't a clue, I didn't get a lawyer, there was no sense too. I wasn't paying for the divorce (various reasons) and we had no house, kids, money shared. He only got the lawyer to draw up papers and no other reason.I'm certainly not saying this didn't happen in your case. I just can't find anything that says there is any way to get a divorce in NC in less than a year. Every law site that I find says that the year is mandatory in all cases. Maybe one of your lawyers knew some trick. I'm sure that the players in this case would have used the cheapest lawyer they could find.

Neither Baker now expected in court. Two people with signs outside waiting. http://twitpic.com/37wpbl
Charlie, I'm in Texas and I'm mad. :banghead:
Can anyone see what the 'protesters' signs say? LOL

Isn't this regarding the threats against BB and her boyfriend? Wouldn't they have to be there too to testify?
If his appearnce today was procedural - no they, BB, would not need to be there at all. I don't think his appearance today was an actual "trial". Could be procedural or plea day maybe - just dunno what the purpose of the appearance was to be.
