QUESTION

Personal Subject Matter Jurisdiction Issue

Asked on May 25th, 2017 on Business Litigation - Ohio
More details to this question:
An ohio plaintiff filed in an ohio municipal court to demand a florida-domiciled person to pay $4k claiming damage to property. If she was duped into coming all the way to ohio under the threat of a default judgment against her, and went to trial, does she have recourse since she can prove her place of domicile before the case was filed (over a year before the case was filed in municipal court) and has verification of where she went back to the day following her trial via credit card statements, her employer's statement, her florida bills, etc.?

Probably not.   By going to trial, she probably waived any objection she had to jurisdiction.
