@Steve HallI’m not sure how you call child support debt.

So the letters from the neighborhood went unread, a court document with a felons sentence who was illegally occupying the property, provided by the county clerk that day, in-admissible because it was not certified.....all copies of correspondence from plumbers, septic providers and general emails, not admissible, all hear say unless they show up to testify...In a small town, that's a tough pill to swallow and most people don't want to get involved.So a bad tenant, (who went through the background credit check) ends up 5 months of no rent, added a pit bill to a non-pet property, added a boyfriend, (not on the lease) who later became a felon (now in prison) after he aimed a rifle at the sheriff's deputy on a neighborhood complaint, non admissible....hearsay, even though the address of the felon in the court records reflects he resided at the property.No, we did not have an attorney because we thought it would be a no-brainer.....the court system offered no advance help on what would be involved in this process......we'll see what the judge decides....the tenant brought her child to the courtroom, pleading that she has no where to go....Meanwhile, the owner who we represent, legally blind, who lived too far to travel, has a property that was a nice property until this tenant decided to change the flavor of a good neighborhood and put everyone through living hell.
