[NC] Can I sue for false arrest and retaliation after a dismissed charge and contested no-contact order?

I need legal guidance on how to pursue a lawsuit in Sampson County, NC for what I believe was an illegal arrest and retaliation. Background: I was involved in a civil dispute with a local cheer team, and after posting about the issue online, members of the team allegedly influenced law enforcement to become involved. This led to my arrest on a cyberbullying charge, which I believe was retaliatory and without probable cause. I want to know: What are my legal options to file a lawsuit for false arrest, wrongful imprisonment, or abuse of process? Can I include local law enforcement, the magistrate, and/or the individuals who initiated the retaliation as defendants? Should I start with a Notice of Claim or file a civil rights (Section 1983) lawsuit in state or federal court? What evidence or documentation would be most important to gather before filing? I have documentation showing the civil nature of the original dispute and how it escalated into criminal charges. I’d appreciate guidance on the next legal steps to take and what type of attorney I should contact (civil rights, criminal defense, or both).

[NC] How do I draft a separation agreement if I want to waive all financial rights and just get my personal belongings and pets?

I’m trying to make a separation agreement to send my husband after I tell him I want a divorce. I don’t want any of his money, pension, or anything from our house. I only want to take my clothes and belongings and my dogs. I don’t want to be a part of his debts either. He has hidden accounts and racked up loads of debt. What is the best way to go about doing this correctly and precisely in the separation agreement?
