Basically any issue in court can proceed pro se, but if it is overly complicated, it would be best to have a lawyer draft the pleading.

Elmore v. McCammon (1986) 640 F. Supp. 905\n"... the right to file a lawsuit pro se is one of the most important rights under the constitution and laws."\n\nJenkins v. McKeithen, 395 U.S. 411, 421 (1959); Picking v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 151 Fed 2nd 240; Pucket v. Cox,  456 2nd 233\nPro se pleadings are to be considered without regard to technicality; pro se litigants' pleadings are not to be held to the same high standards of perfection as lawyers.\n\nMaty v. Grasselli Chemical Co., 303 U.S. 197 (1938)\n"Pleadings are intended to serve as a means of arriving at fair and just settlements of controversies between litigants.  They should not raise barriers which prevent the achievement of that end.  Proper pleading is important, but its importance consists in its effectiveness as a means to accomplish the end of a just judgment."\n\nPicking v. Pennsylvania Railway, 151 F.2d. 240, Third Circuit Court of Appeals\nThe plaintiff's civil rights pleading was 150 pages and described by a federal judge as "inept".  Nevertheless, it was held "Where a plaintiff pleads pro se in a suit for protection of civil rights, the Court should endeavor to construe Plaintiff's Pleadings without regard to technicalities."\n\nGood Luck

You can file the motion to dismiss whenever you feel like it, in the arraignment ask for a motion of discovery as it will assist in filing the MTD

I assume that this is under English law.  If you are served with a notice to show cause it is offering you the opportunity to come to court and give an account of yourself, in order to persuade the judge that the application of the other party should not be put into effect.  Example: in a patent infringement case the notice would be giving him the opportunity to appear at the hearing of the application to show cause why the infringing copies or articles should not be forfeited.\n\nThe words "show cause" are always followed by other words which explain just what the application about.  Basically you have the choice between coming to court to fight your corner or doing nothing, in which case the application made against you will succeed.

You're supposed to be legally served. However, in some jurisdictions, public notices in a local newspaper are considered a proper way of serving someone who cannot be reached otherwise. After posting the notice the prescribed number of times, the other party can present their case and the judge can judge in their favor. This most often happens in family cases (adoption or divorce).

You may motion the judge to do that.  It will be up to the judge on the case.

Not exactly sure what you're asking.  You or your attorney should be able to file a Motion for Discovery (of evidence) with the prosecutor or court.  This asks for written/recorded statements of confessions make by you to law enforcement, your criminal record.

I am of the opinion that the presiding judge is well within his right to record a fiding exparte and it is not in violation of the principle of natural justice, so long as the respondent was given due notice of the proceedings according him an opportunity to be heard. The principle of natural justice does not mean that no order can be passed without hearing the parties concerned. It only requires that the parties before the forum should be given an opportunity to being heard. If the respondent had any difficulty in appearing before the judicial forum, like paucity of funds or threat to life, that is an entirely different matter. There were several options before him to meet such situations. Paucity of funds cannot be a valid ground for non-appearance. It is upto him to fend for himself to protect his own interests. I am sure there are provisions in the law prevailing in the USA, as it is in many other countries, for free legal aid for the indigent citizens. He could have availed of free legal aid. As regards the intimidation, which purportedlty detained him from appearance, it was open to him to lodge a criminal complaint against the petitioner and a copy of the complaint, if produced before the judge, would have weighed in his favour, for further adjournemetnt of his case. \n\nNow, that the matter has come to an end, before the learned judge, he has got two options. One is that he file a petition for review before the very same judge who passed the order and the second one is preferring an appeal before the appeallate authoruity. You may do this through a legal aid forum, if any available.

generally counterclaims and crossclaims are limited to contract or tort (accident/injury) disputes.  A counterclaim is what you would include in an answer to the plaintiff's complaint, which contains the wrongdoing.  In a federal fugitive case I'm not sure what you'd have to counterclaim about and would merely be asked to plead guilty, not guilty or no contest to the charges.  Once your case comes up your lawyer will intrsuct you on your options and it doesn't matter if you are incarcerated or not.

Here in Delaware, it would be with the Family Court (State) where the person who has custody resides. I believe there must be a custody order (or at least a temporary custody order) in place for this motion to be considered.

The information above won't help you much. Perhaps if you can provide something more as to why you'd file a motion with a court to stop payment, that would help someone guide you.\n\nIt sounds more as if you're looking for a court rule...

Is this for your attorney, or for court ordered payments to the other parties attorney?  If it's your attorney then there is no specfic letter.  Just type up a letter listing the charges in dispute and why you think they shouldn't be billed.  If it's a court ordered payment for the other parties attorney then you need your attorney to type up a motion/order for the court to consider if the charges are valid.  \n\nAlso remember they get to bill for ANYTHING they do.  This can be talking with you on the phone, looking up a court case, typing a letter, etc.

Generally, the answer is yes, but only if you request discovery in accordance with the applicable rules of court.  Most courts of general jurisdiction in the US enable a litigant to use four basic methods:  written interrogatories, depositions upon oral examination, request for production of documents and things, and requests for admission.  Generally, a litigant may use one, some or all of these methods to discover his opponent's case.  These forms of discovery may be prohibited or restricted in small claims court, however, where there is a conscious effort to keep litigant expense to a minimum.  There may also be limits on the type and frequency of discovery available in criminal cases.  Hope this helps you.

In small claims court you would almost certainly need to file in the state in which the defendant resides.  For larger matters, you might not have to.

All courts follow established procedures.  They must have proper jurisdiction and have just cause to make an order.  Once proper jurisdiction has been established and a just cause has been shown, then the court issues the order of appearance to insure that the ordered be dually served notice that they must appear before that court on that date and time.
