Frequently Asked Questions

What courts handle Charlotte cases?

Mecklenburg County is in North Carolina’s 26th Judicial District. The Mecklenburg County Courthouse at 832 East Fourth Street houses both District Court (for cases under $25,000, misdemeanors, and family law) and Superior Court (for larger civil cases and felonies). Court hours are generally Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

What is the residency requirement for divorce in North Carolina?

North Carolina requires that one spouse have lived in the state for at least six months before filing for absolute divorce. The parties must also have lived separate and apart for at least one year with at least one spouse intending the separation to be permanent. As a result, Charlotte divorces filed too early can be dismissed for failure to meet the separation requirement.

How is property divided in a North Carolina divorce?

North Carolina applies equitable distribution, dividing marital property fairly rather than always 50-50. Courts consider factors including each spouse’s income, length of marriage, contributions to the marriage, and tax consequences. Separate property — typically inheritances and pre-marital assets — is not divided, though tracing those assets correctly is often the central dispute.
