What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
The burden of proof. Can I get some examples of what a judge might use in a case where it is one parties word against the other?
This involves a personal property dispute where claims are being made about missing property, damaged property months after it was distributed. No third party witnesses, no one other than the ex and I were involved to mark off or verify what was given and in what condition.
Some items demanded actually belong to her own daughter who signed an affidavit to the court that they are hers. Does that in itself tip the scales of credibility? Also, there were several sections of the decree she never complied with but I never pursued because I just didn't care. Will the judge weigh that in as well as to character?
I did hire a lawyer and she keeps talking about burden of proof and the ex has none but I just don't trust the courts.
