MARITAL
PROPERTY:
Marital property is defined as all assets acquired
during the marriage and prior to the date of
separation. All marital property is subject to fair
distribution between the marital partners. However,
in NC, this right to equitable distribution is not
automatic, so one or both spouses must specifically
claim it prior to a divorce judgment.
MINOR:
Someone under the age of majority. In NC, a minor is
defined as anyone who has not reached the age of 18.
MOTION:
An application to the court requesting an order or
rule in favor of the applicant.
