I have filed a small claims suite against a window company who is located in Omaha Nebraska, I live in Mills county Iowa.The suite is over defective windows installed in my home. The window company has now asked for a motion to file a counter claim for $5,000.00. Their claim is that I published a defaming letter to the neighbors of the owner of the window company who lives in Omah Nebraska. I was cited for these allegations in Douglas county Nebraska for disturbing the peace by Douglas county sheriffs dept. When the Douglas county court house reviewed the citation they dismissed the charge (no reason given just dismissed). My question is does a small claims court in Mills county Iowa have the jurisdiction to bring these allegations into a counter claim in Mills county Iowa. The allegations are stemming from Douglas county Nebraska. Does Mills county have a jurisdiction over allegations from another state let alone another county?
