You can go to the county court house. I'm sure they have something on-line. you can probably search it from your home. you can also look on a site like mylista.com and see if they have anything your interested in.

It's difficult to give you the information you need because you didn't specify in which state you'll be filing suit.  There are general guidelines, yes, but each state has its own specific procedure.  My best advice is for you to speak with an attorney (most give you free consultations and will tell you whether or not you actually have a case) or speak with your local magistrate for help in filing your suit.\n\nYou can check out the link I've provided for an overview of civil procedure.

Go see a real estate attorney and tack on as many other things as possible into the law suit.  Not to be a jerk, but it is often the only way to remendy some situations, but I just like to sue people too.

You can search it in your states website. I believe you can even go to the court house and check. I would check your states website or counties first though.

Once the suit is filed with the court (through a formal complaint), it is in the court system. It stays there until it is resolved, or until you withdraw it, or until the judge dismisses it.\n\nNow, at some point there will be scheduled status / case management conferences with the judge. The opposing side can also file motions against you. You can represent yourself during these actions, but the odds for a pro se ("for self") litigant are generally not good.\n\nThere are a number of non-profit legal services groups that exist to provide support for civil rights cases. If you haven't already, you might want to start researching/contacting some of these to find an attorney.

I know you can in North Carolina -- here's the ruling from the State Bar in N.C.:\n\nAn attorney who is also a real estate broker may so indicate on his letterhead. He may operate both businesses from same office. \n\nBut you should just contact the S.C. State Bar -- they'll tell you, and probably can do so anonymously, if thats what you want.

In a law library.  There is probably one at the county seat that is open to the public.  The S.W. is SouthWest Reports.  Volume 390, page 266, will be the start of the case.\n\nYou can print out all cases from Westlaw's web site, but you need an account with them; it's not free.  If you know anyone who is a lawyer or law student, they may be able to print it out for you.

You can protect your home as long as your wife's name is not on any of your business documents (co-owner, etc.) Another way to protect your home is to homestead it. What this means is your home can not be considered in any judgments regarding your estate as long as a relative (blood or by marriage to an immediate family member) is residing there. Even if the homestead is sold, there is a six month period where judgment liens can not be attached to the revenue received from that sale. The only caveat to this is that the property can not be used for profit (i.e farming, rented out etc.) \n\nThis is a great way to ensure that your children and children's children have a home to come home to no matter what (well as long as the notes are kept current lol.)

Go to the county clerks office and look for any Lis Pendens filed against your property. Latin for 'a suit pending,'it's a written notice that a lawsuit has been filed which concerns the title to real property or some interest in that real property.This is the first legal document filed and it basically lets the owner know that litigation is pending.\nGood luck

It sounds very messy. I recommed you dont waste any time and get an attorney that is familar with your state's laws.

You need pictures. I would call a real estate attorney and see if they can help. Sometimes when you mention the law they change their tune.

Depending on your state's laws, judgments and liens attach to   your house as soon as they are recorded in the same county.  Once they attach, you cant avoid them by deeding the house.  Get an "ownership & encumberance report" done by a title company to see what you are up against.\n\nCheck for asset protection attorneys in your area for techniques to defeat creditors.

The are a number ways, including filing a motion to set aside the default and a motion to quash service of the lawsuit.  You should consult an attorney right away because the court where the lawsuit was filed might not have jurisdiction over you.

Of course.  They wrote the law, so it doesn't apply to them.  Political campaigns, charities and companies you've done business with before are all exempt.

You need to go to the court building. Everything is filed there and document. You should not have any problem at all.
