Dear Juniper725:

The rule for filing litigation in North Carolina is that you have resided here continuously for 6 months. The fact that she has a NC DL is only collateral. If she went to Texas for training, etc., I believe that she would still be able to file here in North Carolina.

My daughter has an NC DL, and has returned to NC from TX recently and is stationed at a military base here in NC. Does she have to “re-establish” residency from the time she returned from a year in TX, or has she always been considered a resident? (She was able to vote by mail in ballot while in TX).
