the way you do it depends on how much you are seeking to recover from the other party and if it's a family court (child support) matter or not. check this link which gives more details. go to www.nccourts.org then click on the tab reading "going to court?"

The first link is a guide to pro se representation in the Federal District Court. The last two links are to the NC Courts. You should contact the Clerk of the Court for specifics. Also, if she meets the pre-requisites, she may qualify for free representation with Legal Services or she may be able to find an attorney who would take her case on a contingency fee basis.
For the NC Courts: "In general, there are three levels of the civil trial courts in which an action can be filed. However, there are exceptions to these rules, so seek the advice of an attorney before filing.
Small Claims: Actions for less than $5000 and many landlord tenant disputes.
District Court: Actions for less than $10,000 and all domestic cases.
Superior Court: Actions for over $10,000.
Small Claims court is the same as the magistrate's office, usually located in or near the Sheriff's office. (Last updated on 03/10/2005 )"
