So after the judge made his judgement. He said my ex had until the end of the month to return my dog. What happen is she doesn't return my dog or what steps can i take to enforce the judgement?
answered on May 20, 2022
If she does not return your dog, you may apply to the court for an order of contempt (i.e. that she did not comply with the court's order) and serve it on her. There will be additional legal penalties imposed on her for doing so.

It depends. If pictures of your dead son and message that you're a "killer" were only sent to you, that's not defamation unless it was "published" (sent to other persons). Also, be aware that if you display or otherwise disseminate the pictures and message to someone... Read more »

If you sue her for Breach of Contract you can then ask her questions in "discovery" to try and find out her financial position. You could then take her deposition and ask further questions. Talk to an attorney to see how viable your case might be.
I have not been served the amended complaint so do I respond to original complaint or amended complaint which I downloaded from court website?
Do I get more time to respond?
answered on Apr 30, 2022
You have 30 days (if served by hand) to respond to the complaint. If an amended complaint was filed, you have 30 days from the date of service of that document. But if no amended complaint was served on you yet, you can always call/email the attorney for plaintiff and ask for service of the... Read more »
The plaintiff in my case has been ProPer since filing. At the deposition he brought an attorney who was directing the questioning. There is no attorney on record. Had I known the plaintiff had a lawyer I would have hired one for the deposition.

Yes, once a party representing themself hires an attorney, their attorney must file a Substitution of Attorney with the court and send that to all parties in the case. This party may have been sneaky and filed the Substitution with the court right before the deposition and claimed that it had not... Read more »

Only if that person has opted out of the class can they collect a separate judgment against you for the same claim. If their claim is different, they may be entitled to a judgment for those other claims.

Consider small claims court where you may represent yourself.
Is a CA. judgment debt from an eviction still owed, even if it is past the statue of limitations? Does a judgment of type stand forever until paid?
answered on Apr 25, 2022
If you have a judgement it's usually for 10 years. You can then re-new for 10 more years but have to pro actively deal with it. It's not automatic. You used the term statute of limitations which is something completely different. You should sit down with an attorney and get some help so... Read more »

If your car is worth $10,00 or less, you can sue her in Small Claims Court, which does not allow lawyers. It's somewhat like "Judge Judy" in that people answer judge's questions without a lawyer present. Most courts have a self-help section on their websites and self-help... Read more »

It sounds like you need to hire an attorney to help recover your vehicles. If the vehicles were truly on private property and were owned by you, the police should have no reason to inspect or tow your vehicles (absent there being some safety issue being caused by them).

Yes, if you own the house jointly and it has increased in equity since buying it, you should ask for your 30% of the equity in the home. He may be offering to pay you for the months you've lived there to try and avoid having to give you your fair equity in the home. Of course, if the equity... Read more »

This is a case of revenge. The information obtained is my personal medical information. The attorney is saying I have a disease and I should be placed in a home I do not have a disease and I have written proof from my doctors. Is this legal? What should I do next?

It is illegal to invade someone's privacy in their own home without a court order/warrant. You may have legal claims against the investigator for doing so for violation of privacy laws.
