Different states have slightly differing laws when it comes to how child custody is determined. Therefore, as a resident of North Carolina, it is important that you understand how child custody is calculated and what terms are used to describe different types of custody when you are filing for custody of your child.
In North Carolina, a distinction is made between legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody is when a parent or guardian has the legal right to make decisions on behalf of that child. This could include decisions about what school the child should attend or important medical decisions that should be addressed. Physical custody, however, is related to with whom the child lives and whom is allowed to have physical contact with him or her.
While on the federal level, the possession, sale, growing and manufacturing or any illicit drug including marijuana is illegal, that's not the case under existing North Carolina law.
Although selling marijuana in the state is a felony offense, simple possession of what amounts to no more than a personal stash of the drug is simply a misdemeanor. It's also permissible under existing North Carolina law for a person to transfer as little as five grams of marijuana to someone else lawfully, provided that no money exchanges hands.

Those convicted under statutes with mandatory minimum sentences average 11 years in prison. Those average sentences are higher than you would likely receive in a state-level case.
The romantic relationship between the couple may no longer exist, it may have evolved into something more contemptuous or simply failed. Whatever the reasons behind the divorce one thing remains true: both parents remain connected to their children.
So how can parents navigate a divorce and better ensure their children adjust? These three tips can help:
A city in North Carolina has passed a law that limits the amount of light a business can use after the sun goes down. The law was written to reduce the amount of light pollution and allow for increased star gazing opportunities. Unfortunately, the law may have some unintended consequences.
Unintended consequence #1: Safety.
Lights are an important safety concern. Illuminating an otherwise dark corner or passageway can reduce the risk of an accident or criminal activity.
In addition to simply illuminating otherwise dark areas, many businesses have outdoor spaces that are part of their operations. These businesses need proper lighting for their patrons and staff.
After the death of a family member, there may be numerous reasons why you would want the probate process for his or her estate to end quickly. You may have traveled from outside North Carolina and want to return to your home state. Perhaps you are counting on an inheritance the deceased promised you. It could be that you suspect the process is taking longer than it should, and you want to know what the holdup may be.
If you have never gone through the probate process before, you may be unfamiliar with its purpose and the reason it sometimes takes a considerable amount of time. It may help to have an understanding of the steps your relative's estate must pass through and the factors that may bog the process down.
