Is a fax considered a legal document when used in real estate?

Generally that is up to the parties and it depends on what documents you are referring to. For example, if the parties agree to fax a signed purchase and sale agreement and expressed no concern at the time, it would be enforceable in court. A faxed deed would not be considered a legal document and would not be accepted for recording purposes in most jurisdictions.Generally that is up to the parties and it depends on what documents you are referring to.

Is a verbal agreement legal in North Carolina?

Yes, depending on several factors, this issue is very complicated and should probably be answered by an attorney who has knowledge of the applicable state laws and knows the details of the agreement. Verbal agreements can be held enforceable under common law as long as there was mutual assent to enter into the agreement and a consideration for the agreement. Consideration can be defined as a bargain for exchange, as in the Restatement of Contracts 2d. For instance, if I offer to pay you 50 bucks if you don't eat for a week, there would be consideration for my promise. You would be bargaining to give up a legal right in return for my promise of 50 bucks. This would have to be offered and then accepted. In addition under the statute of frauds, the agreement must be able to be completed within a year by its nature, to be held enforceable without a writing. There are also other types of contracts that require a writing, like a sale of land, or a contract to enter into marriage. There may be other local jurisdictional issues, but the main answer to your question is, yes it can be.Added: While the above MAY be true - unless there was a witness (or witnesses) to the alleged verbal agreement that an offer was made and accepted, you're probably wasting your time. If you really believe you have an enforceable verbal contract consult with an attorney.

Is there a law that says you have to go to court to pay child support?

I suppose the parents could agree on child support without going to court; however, I would counsel against it. From the obligee's perspective, such an agreement is probably not enforceable, and as for the obligor, such an agreement would not preclude the obligee from going to court later.

No, a donation is, by definition, a gift. There is also the possibility of a "pledge", which is a promise of a future donation.
