A North Carolina trial court improperly relied on non-economic marital misconduct when determining the equitable division of marital property.

The Court of Appeals of Virginia has ruled in an unpublished opinion that a premarital agreement in which a husband, without consulting counsel, waived the right to an elective share of his wife’s estate should be enforced.

Virginia parents sued a state court judge, state court agencies and state court employees over the removal of children from their care, but the defendants were entitled to immunity and the claims were otherwise barred, the suit was dismissed.
