The judge may allow you to retrieve your possessions. The will not award you money. You don't, however, have much to lose by bringing the subject up. Who is the petitioner? I am guessing, you.
I just dicovered my wife will be receiving certified mail informing us of a small claims lawsuit filed in our old local court in Ohio but we are living in Minnesota now. How should I deal with this since we obviously cannot appear in court?

Negligence on the behalf of the employee they processed paperwork without consent after being told I did not want to proceed with the vehicle, there was a ticket issued as well in another state for the car due to being registered under my name

If a dealership falsely registered a car in your name you can sue. I do not know if you will be successful or if it's even worth it. Why would a dealership falsely register a car in your? What have you suffered in damages ($) ?

I see you are from California but asked a question in MN's Civil Litigation section. I'm assuming the property you are asking about is located in MN. Generally speaking, 50/50 owners split the sale proceeds of a property 50/50, but the rule is not absolute. Courts should,... View More

answered on Feb 3, 2021
No. That is not double jeopardy. Jeopardy does not attach until trial. A dismissal doesn’t meet that requirement.
Family members got guardianship? Woyld you not be aware of criminal proceedings and would you get a care taker without your permission or your say so to whom it may be. Could law keep threatening daily with warrants and family
answered on Jan 22, 2021
This question is incredibly confusing. It's unclear what is being asked. Criminal charges and a guardianship are two entirely different things and are unrelated to each other.
