Shoplifting cases are typically handled in the criminal court system, specifically the municipal or district court. These courts handle misdemeanor offenses, which is usually the classification for shoplifting cases. Penalties for shoplifting can include fines, community service, or probation.
Court-appointed attorneys typically handle criminal cases only. Even "Legal Aide" service offices must restrict what types of cases they handle due to workload and funding. So I'd suggest finding a family member who can hire an attorney to file the divorce petition or inquire whether you can file it yourself. In "no fault" States, divorce proceedings may not need an attorney. Ask in your jurisdiction.
West Virginia Magistrate Courts generally handle civil cases where the amount in dispute is $5,000 or less, eviction and other landlord-tenant cases, and some emergency domestic violence protective orders. Nearly all criminal cases "go to" Magsitrate Court, although they don't all stay there. Magistrate Courts conduct arraignments in both felony and misdemeanor cases; arraignments include entry of pleas, plea agreements, and setting of bond. Further action in felony cases is in Circuit Court, but misdemeanor cases are tried in Magistrate Court. Magistrate Courts also handle violations of municipal ordinances if there is no Municipal Court with jurisdiction. Details may be found at the related links below.
