QUESTION

Do I have any chance in small claims court?

Asked on Oct 13th, 2013 on Litigation - Ohio
More details to this question:
I paid my girlfriend's bills (car payment, insurance, etc) while she was unemployed. She agreed to pay me back when employed again, but after she got a job she did not. We had been living together but do not now. Before filing in small claims court, I'd like to know if I stand a chance. Thank you.

If the Court  believes your story that you loaned her the money which she agreed to repay when she got a job, you should win; if the Court believes her story - whether it be that you paid her debts as a gift because the two of you were in a relationship, or that she already paid you back, or that she owes you the money of which you speak, but you owe her more because you ran over her computer when you broke up - she will likely win.
