What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
Hello,
For the same suit, I have 2 parties coming in to court tomorrow. If you have any suggestions on how to maximize this proceeding, please let me know as I'm taking this on pro-Se.
My first question: if neither party currently has a job, can I request a continuance in order to ascertain if they have one 5 months down the road? My understanding is that the citation is valid for 6 months so can I ask to have them reappear in order to ask that question again? If not, how else am I to know if they are employed and able to pay me back?
Second question: I will provide a list of questions that I have compiled to help anyone else looking for that. Are there any other questions that I should ask?
What are your current contact numbers (cell, landline)
Are you currently employed?
If so, At what address? Where is the payroll office located?
Do you have an account with any financial institution? If so,
what's the name of the bank branch, and what are the account numbers and present balances?
Where do you currently live?
If you do not own, who are you renting the property from (name, contract information)?
What is the rent per month?
How is that rent being paid? Is it paid by check? Is your rent/mortgage up to date?
Do you have a vehicle (ie how did you get to court today)? If yes, make/model/year.
Do you own it? Is it financed? By whom? How much is owed?
Do you have a life insurance policy? Is it a whole life policy?
Do you have any other judgements against you, ie do you owe anyone else money?
Are you owed any money?
Do you have any boarders or subtenants? If so, what are their names and how much do they pay you each month?
Do you own any recreational vehicles?
Do you have any credit cards? Can you get a cash advance on any of those cards?
Do you have any property, personal effects, cash, or other assets that you've not yet mentioned? If so, please explain.
Do you understand that as long as the judgment remains unpaid, it accrues interest?
What was your stated income on your tax form for this year?
What was your stated income for the previous year?
