Ok, A small claims lawsuit was filed in IL regarding my soon to be ex wife and my mother. My mother is suing my soon to be for a contract she signed that we all made up regarding a automobile and making payments on it.
Once we split, She kept the car that is in my mothers name and stopped making payments, So my mother removed the car from her. My soon to be ex went against a contract she signed and my mom signed about the car. So my mother filed a small claims case for i think around 9,000.00
After it was filed about 2 weeks later we get a letter from Judge Mathis. Judge mathis is a one of those many famous tv court shows on tv.
Anyways, they also contact my ex and want my mom and her to go on the show. Thing is, they only pay out a max of 5,000.00 if you win, BUT if you win you get a check cut to you that day from the show.
I heard from a friend of mine that she is plaining on counter suing on the show for 3,000.00
For what? i dont know. I thought you needed to file in order to counter sue
Anyways, does anyone have any experience? comments? advice? as to which would be better for her? Small claims court or the Judge mathis show?
I read some reviews of this show from people and they say that you read cue cards and all types of stuff, making it seem not so professional.
My mother is just concerned about getting her money if she wins is all, and i was told that even though you go to small claims court and win, the other person doesnt have to pay. thay you have to bring them back to court.
Any advice would be good.
