A: Dear Farmingdale Home Owner

There is no method to calculate average. There is no way to know based on the information provided which form of lawsuit your attorney would consider and what court is appropriate.

If the person you described as partner is in a domestic relationship with you your lawyer may very well decide that the local District Court will not entertain a traditional eviction proceeding. This may leave you no choice but to commence an Ejectment Action in Supreme Court.
