Q: i recieved a dispossessory proceding, how do i dispute this?
i recieved a dispossessory proceding this morning. I live in my fathers house and pay $400 a month to live in the garage. He has a joint lease with his wife. He loves me, his wife hates me. She filed the paperwork for it. For the reason, she put "party displays hostile behaivior and is not on the lease." this is not true. How would i go about disputing this? It is worth noting that my father pays all of the bills and would fight for me to dispute this.
A: I assume you mean you received "Notice" of a dispossessory proceeding. I have never heard of that. I must also assume that you must attend the proceeding if you want to fight it. Since you are in Georgia, and I live in Palm Springs, California, I can't comment on Georgia law. You should contact the Court where the proceeding is to be held to find out more information on it. I assume your father should be at the hearing and testify on your behalf, although this sounds like something that could break up their marriage. Might get pretty ugly.
