Small Claims

[Steffanie0211]

Ohio

I was paying for groceries, school supplies and so on for my youger sisters. My mother said that she would pay me back in full when she got all the money. I evetually spent over $1000, and she won't pay me back. During all this time she was receving $1200 a month in child support and had received a $40,000 divorce settlement. Do i have grounds to sue in small claims?

Do you have receipts & proof ? Then most likely !! Is there more to this ?

Yes. I have all the receipts and my sisters said they would testify saying i was the one paying for their things.

I'm not one to advise Family feuds, but if you must, filing small claims is cheap .. Most you can do is win or lose and fight with the Family ..

"my sisters said they would testify saying i was the one paying for their things."
*** That isn't important. What would be important would be their knowledge of an agreement for your mother to reimburse you for the expenditures.

If you have proof of the repayment agreement, either direct or by testimony of others (including sisters), you can certainly file your claim in court and bring them down to testify.
