What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
A woman is threatening to serve me with a warrant in debt in VA Beach District Court for half of costs associated with a pregnancy termination done in VA in April of 2012, court costs, mental anguish, medications, and travel costs..estimated $5000. Her words: "I am going to file a warrant in debt on you since you refuse to own up like a man and take responsibilities." She claims that we had a discussion that I would pay half the cost of the procedure, which is absolutely false. Furthermore, there is no proof of paternity associated with the pregnancy she was claiming. Note: I am a Georgia resident, and so is she. She previously lived in VA, however, prior to Jan of 2012. The "relationship" though, didn't occur in VA. I have only passed through VA once, haven't conducted any business, and have NO ties there, whatsoever. She insists jurisdiction is valid, but from what I understand, the state of VA holds no such jurisdiction on me. Additionally, whether this may be beneficial to my defense if it comes to that, she is currently involved in a very heated divorce and lawsuit with her husband,(yes, she was married, although she told me she was separated at the time of the "relationship), and involved in another lawsuit with her ex-neighbor from VA. Please, any advice, information, and opinions regarding this situation would be greatly appreciated.
