Q: What does "for such other and further relief in either law or in quity as the court deems just and proper"
In NC divorce case.
A: Its the "kitchen sink" claim. If lawyers listed every possible form of relief, every complaint would be hundreds of pages long. So, we all add that sentence to our complaint so that, for example, if you end up with a court order, and that order is violated, and you file a motion for contempt, the other side can't say that you did not ask in your original complaint for the court to enforce any resulting court order. Or if it turns out that the court wants to impose a constructive trust over an asset, that sentence would include that form of relief. For your purposes, its not a claim for alimony or equitable distribution or anything that specific. To be certain, you should set up a phone consultation with a NC attorney and have them review the complaint and answer any questions you may have to make sure your rights are protected.
