How custody works in North Carolina
North Carolina courts apply the best interests of the child standard and may award joint or sole custody based on parental cooperation.
North Carolina custody disputes are filed in District Court. Parents must attend a mandatory custody mediation session through the court's mediation program before a trial can be scheduled. If mediation fails, the court conducts an evidentiary hearing. Custody orders can be temporary or permanent and may be modified upon showing a substantial change in circumstances. North Carolina requires one year of separation before a divorce is granted, but custody can be addressed at any time.
Cases from Raleigh are filed in Wake County and heard in the Wake County District Court, Family Division. The court that hears your case is determined by where the children have been living, not by where either parent works.

Civly is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Custody law and the rules of evidence vary from state to state, and individual judges apply them differently. For advice about your own case, speak to a family law attorney licensed in North Carolina. Civly launched in 2026 and is not named in many court orders yet — if your order already requires a specific platform, keep using it and ask your attorney before switching.
