Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

I have a matter that was filed in a court that did not have subject matter jurisdiction. Several years later, does a motion to vacate void order need to be filed, if court never had authority to begin with? If yes, can you share why? Also, if it can be filed in another district?
