Does a Miami court have jurisdiction over me in Connecticut?
I have been served with a Civil Action Summons from a Miami, FLA Court, by a FLA attorney. According to my investigation, the plaintiff is not registered with the Sec. of State to do buisness in CT. I now have to respond to the complaint. Does the Miami Court have the authority to apply it's juristriction here in my home state of CT? In other words, if the court finds for the Plantiff, can the long arm statutes give them the authority to enforce all their options? This company is an LLC, with a principal place of business in North Miami Beach, FLA.
Do we need to enforce our judgment in West Virginia?
We won a judgment in Smith County Small claims Court for the return of our dog. The defendants have yet to return the dog to us. We did issue a writ yesterday from the Smith County Small Claims Court. The problem is the person who stole our dog lives in West Virgina. They came to Indiana and returned to West Virginia with our dog. Are we going to have to take the judgment into the court in West Virginia? Are we going to have to sue again in the small claims court in there? We have a damage/compliance hearing on March 27th, 2009 in Smith County. The person we won the judgment against is from West Virginia.

What can I do about added fees on my rental judgment?
I am currently paying on a rental judgment from 8 years ago and am close to paying the original amount they asked for; however, they have added fees/interest when I was not employed here and there and now the balance owing is higher than the initial charge - what can I do? I have remained in contact with them the entire time and always provided legitimate contact information. In addition, the other party listed on the judgment hasn't ever responded, appeared or attempted to pay towards the judgment and neither the property management company or the law firm has assisted in finding him. Should I seek legal assistance, hire a private investigator or what? I would think that the property management company/individual property would have his social security number on file (as per their qualifying criteria) to aid the sheriffs' department in serving him the necessary paperwork.
