Mark Robinson and Wife File for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Former North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson and his wife, Yolanda Hill, filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection in November 2026. This marks the couple's third bankruptcy filing in over two decades, following a history of financial instability including three prior filings between 1998 and 2003.

Court documents reveal conflicting figures regarding their financial state, with some reports indicating less than $800 in bank accounts and nearly $800,000 in debt, while others state both assets and liabilities fall between $500,000 and $1 million. Their liabilities include over $120,000 in credit card debt, $3,000 owed to the IRS, and potential damages from a lawsuit filed by Louis Money. Robinson previously faced a 2024 order to pay $35,000 for campaign finance violations.

The filing also identifies Hill's former nonprofit, Balanced Nutrition Inc., as a co-debtor. The organization owes the state between $101,000 and $132,000 due to misspent funds and improper documentation. Robinson, who lost the 2024 gubernatorial race to Josh Stein, currently works as a podcast host for Real Truth Media Inc.
