Palm City, FL asked in Foreclosure, Real Estate Law, Civil Litigation and Gov & Administrative Law for Florida

Q: How do I file a dismissal on a final judgement/forclosure? I have proof of coercion from plaintiff. What form is used??

How do I request a hearing with the Judge to show that Plaintiff (my mom), who was granted final judgment. Plaintiff utillized coercion to keep me quiet. She sent text messages to my sister saying if I dont sign over the deed she will make it her job, day in and day out to have my son taken from me. So I shut up because up until the day after final Judgement was granted, I then received the proof from my sister that plaintiff had sent the text messages to her. Yes, I have spoken with an attorney at legal aid. He seems to be one sided. I get no where on the question at hand. How do I prove coercion? What form? Is there case law? What should the motion be called? Its sad that family can be this way. I never imagined this in my wildest dreams to be real life. I just want some insight on what to do. Please and thank you.

A: This is not a do-it-yourself project. Your description of how this is being handled calls into question your ability to protect your home from being foreclosed. Consult with a local foreclosure defense attorney as soon as possible.

A: I recommend that you retain an attorney. If you cannot afford to hire a private attorney, seek assistance from Legal Aid. Your post is difficult to follow and I think that besides being represented by an attorney, you'll need to explain in person what's going on. Good luck.
