I live in North Carolina. I need some legal advice, hope someone can help. I have 2 siblings that have basically made my life a living hell!!! I feel that I do not want to be associated with them or consider their sibling any longer. I feel I need to do want is best for my husband, child, and my mother. I s there any petition I can file or law that covers this area. I want to legally disassociate myself from them, in other words, I do not want to be legally related to them any longer. I know some might think this is terrible but I can no longer deal with the insults and terrible things that say and do to me and my family. Is there any law that I can file under to legally divorce them? I don't know legal term I'm actually looking for here. Can anyone help me with any advice? Thanking anyone in advance for your help!!

My response:

There simply is no law for "divorcing" your brothers or sisters. It just isn't done.

However, all is not lost.

While you didn't say what was happening, and what they were doing to you, if what they are doing is criminal in nature, you can obtain an Order of Protection (Restraining Order) by filing for one at your nearest criminal courthouse.

You'll immediately see the judge by yourself in the courtroom to tell your story. If the judge approves your Petition, it will start off as a "temporary" order. You'll have your simblings served with the papers, and they will then be on notice to stay away from you by a specified distance, and to not communicate with you in any fashion until the date of the next court hearing.

Then, in about 10 to 15 days thereafter, all of you will be commanded to appear at the courthouse - - you again for the second time - - and then you can explain (again) to the judge what is happening to you. They will be able to defend against the Restraining Order, and the judge will then determine whether the RO should remain in effect on a permanent, or quash it - - thus, placing everyone back to where they were prior to the temporary RO.

Good luck to you.
