Wake County’s Specialized Court for Family Law Matters

Divorce cases and family law cases are heard in the specialized Family Law Court, which is a division of Wake County District Court. Family law cases include legal matters involving divorce, child support equitable distribution, and post-separation support. The Clerk of Court’s office is located in Room 1110 on the 11th Floor of the Wake County Courthouse in downtown Raleigh. The Clerk’s office cannot provide legal advice. You will need to hire a qualified lawyer who handles family law cases.

Attorney Charles R. Ullman is certified by the North Carolina State Bar as a Specialist in Family Law. The law office of Charles R. Ullman & Associates is located a few blocks from the courthouse in a restored historic building known as the Leonidas R. Wyatt House in downtown Raleigh.

Raleigh’s Early History

Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina and the seat of state government. It was selected as the site of the state Capital in 1788 and named after Sir Walter Raleigh, an English courtier, and explorer who tried to establish the first English colony on Roanoke Island. It became known as the Lost Colony.

The city of Raleigh is an early example of a planned city with the downtown laid out in a grid pattern with the Capitol building in the center. Elements of the original grid design are still evident in the downtown parks such as Moore Square and Nash Square that were part of the plan.

A Revitalized Downtown Scene

Today, the downtown area is enjoying new vitality with old warehouses in the Warehouse District being converted to living space, shops, and galleries welcoming shoppers and many people moving downtown to live.

Raleigh has a developed a thriving restaurant scene with recognition as one of America’s hottest food cities. Downtown Raleigh has two food halls, Morgan Street Food Hall and Transfer Co. Food Hall, which house a large number of small restaurants under one roof. The food halls are a few minutes’ walk from the state Capitol.

The tree-lined streets in parts of downtown Raleigh earned the city its nickname the City of Oaks. In recognition of the nickname, the annual New Year’s celebrations in downtown Raleigh features the lowering of a giant acorn to ring in the new year.

Things to Do in Raleigh

Located downtown, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences spans two city blocks and is popular with backyard scientists and dinosaur lovers of all ages. It’s free and has four floors of exhibits including collections of live fish, butterflies, and reptiles.

Beyond downtown, the North Carolina Museum of Art is a popular destination for residents and visitors alike with rotating art exhibitions and a serene museum park offering miles of recreational trails amid temporary and permanent public art installations. The Museum Park trails connect with the Capital Area Greenway system which connects to Umstead State Park and to N.C. State University and Meredith College and points beyond.

The Capital Area Greenway system which extends throughout Wake County is a network of more than 100 miles of paved and unpaved trails for walking, biking, hiking, and experiencing nature. It’s a great way to spend time outdoors.
