What is the name of your state?
OH
A general docket civil case, involves equitable distribution, but assets had been liquidated by def.
Order states:
1. Def. Preliminary Obj. to Plain. Complaint overruled.
2. Def. is to answer in 30 days.
3. Matter to thereafter go to Family Divsion.
I'm guessing line 1 is good for plaintiff, but line 3 is bad if punitive damages were being sought. Can family division award punitive damages?
Another thing,
One of def.'s objections was that it should be in family, not civil.
If the objects. were overruled, why does it go to family?
