Hello,    Jurisdiction would be easiest to pursue in California since he is located in California. There is an argument to be made that Jurisdiction can be enforced in Florida but that would be a battle to show he conducted business and purposefully availed himself to Florida courts. My firm handles litigation in both California and Florida. Please email me more details to aric@aricwilliamslaw.com on this man in California so I can better determine whether or not Jurisdiction is enforceable in Florida (if that is where you prefer to commence litigation).  ...

Nope - judges will not do a litigants dirty work for them. The litigants present the case in proper fashion and the court just rules on the proper evidence presented. If you have such little knowledge about the process you REALLY need to hire a landlord attorney to represent in that regard. ... Read Answer

If there was no insurance on your car to cover the issue from YOU, then you likely have a CARMACK Amendment case which is a Federal  DOT rule that addresses interstate mover liabilty, disclosures and the like.

"Insinuating that my spouse may not be the father of our child, for all he knows he could be the father. " THAT type of issue really goes to the core of the inquiry about "defamation" combined with the perhaps inadvertently omitted denial of the allegations of infidelity.

You could file suit in Small Claims Court ("SCC"). SCC is designed for the public to be able to file a claim without an attorney. With a little research and a $300 investment, you could get your claim filed. The trick would be getting service on the manufacture. I don't think you have a very strong case, legally speaking, but it could work. They might not even defend the suit, and you could win by default. Your other option would be to call and complain. This might be more effective. But if you manage to get a judgment, call a debt collection attorney, and get them to help you collect the judgment. Usually, legal fees are recoverable for post-judgment collection actions. I would expect this project to require an investment of 40-100 hours of your time, primarily in research, and you should have a result in 3-9 months. Good Luck.  ... Read Answer

Your likely going to have to spend a good deal of money on a lawyer to skip trace his guy and serve him with a "replevin" type lawsuit in conjunction with hiring a private repo agent to try to locate and repo the car. You can try reporting it stolen but under the facts presented law enforcement will probably treat this as a "civil matter" not a crminal one... Read Answer
