Best Answer

The individual wishing to obtain a writ of judgment must follow due process of law as required by the state in which the judgment is to be filed. Generally that would mean the person owed the debt (plaintiff) would file a civil suit in the appropriate state court against the debtor (defendant). If the issue is one of a Mechanic's Lien against real property owned by the debtor, the person to whom money is owed can contact the county recorder/assessor's office in the county where the property is located for information on how to file a claim.

How do you appeal an abstract judgment if you moved out of state but a minor child accepted the summons at the old address and you were never notified?

At this point in your case, to file an appeal, you must hire an attorney and it must be filed in the court of the original case unless, the case was in a federal/Supreme court. If it was in Supreme court, you must have an attorney file a motion to move your case to the new court. If this judgment was from a collection agency, make sure you challenge the debt being owed in your appeal. This means that the debtor has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you owe the debt detailed in the judgment. They must provide physical evidence (the contract you signed, a detailed listing of everything you bought, all the signed receipts for everything you allegedly purchased) to obtain a valid judgment. Ask your attorney to tell you about debt validation and how to challenge a debt.

Can you file a claim against a person with no insurance?

You can file a claim against your insurance company for an action caused by another person with no insurance if you are covered for such an occurance. An example would be if you had uninsured motorist coverage and were hit by someone without auto insurance. However if you want to file a 'claim' against the person directly who has no insurance there is no one to file the claim against. The only alternative here is to sue the person in court.

If a judgment is entered against you in a county where you don't reside does the creditor have to file a new lawsuit in the county where you do reside?

No, once the judgment is granted, it applies to you, not your county. All they need is your new address. * Perhaps. If the judgment holder wants to enforce the judgment in a method other than filing an abstract judgment against the debtor's real property then the creditor will have to file a suit in the county where the debtor resides. Judgments granted in one county or state can only be transferred to another county or state as liens against real property owned by the debtor.
