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 North Carolina, this right to
equitable distribution is not automatic, so one or
both spouses must specifically claim it prior to a
divorce judgment. You should contact an attorney
in your state to determine your state's
definition.
Minor: Someone under the age of majority. In North
Carolina, a minor is defined as anyone who has not
reached the age of 18. You should contact an
attorney in your state to determine your state's
definition.
Motion: An application to the court
requesting an order or rule in favor of the
applicant. |
