Q: Can I appeal decision on small claims court in McHenry Cry IL? And party was awarded $37k I read MAX award is $10k ?
I wasn't even given opportunity to give the facts I had on 7 different claims within 1 case brought to a judge in McHenry Cry, IL small claims court.. The way I read it , I can appeal within 30 days of the judgement, is that correct? Also isn't the max award sought in small claims court capped at $10k as the other party awarded $37k on damages they haven't nor will ever incur as part of divorce. I appreciate any answer you can give on this and may need to hire an attorney to represent me or at least give me guidance as I don't have much money at all.
A:
You were doing pretty good until you threw in "divorce".
Looks like this is more than small claims.
