She said someone had mentioned something called being "legally established" here before she'd be safe doing so.
Anyone have any idea what she might be talking about?

I'm guessing that they mean she has to be a resident here for six months before starting proceedings. They also have to be separated for a year, not living together during that time. They don't have to file anything such as a separation agreement, only attest to it unless of course he's going to fight it but then he'd probably fight filing an agreement.
Moving to NC isn't likely to speed up a divorce.
