What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
The summons we received said to respond as that term is used in Chapter 802 of Wi. Statute. I've searched all over, who in their right mind could hire a lawyer when they can't afford to pay their mortgage? I have read much of Wi Chapter 802 and doesn't make much sense to me. There are stipulations in it that say be short, concise such as:
(5) PLEADINGS TO BE CONCISE AND DIRECT; CONSISTENCY. (a)
Each averment of a pleading shall be simple, concise, and direct.
No technical forms of pleading or motions are required.
(b) A party may set forth 2 or more statements of a claim or
defense alternatively or hypothetically, either in one claim or
defense or in separate claims or defenses. When 2 or more statements
are made in the alternative and one of them if made independently
would be sufficient, the pleading is not made insufficient
by the insufficiency of one or more of the alternative
statements. A party may also state as many separate claims or
defenses as the party has regardless of consistency and whether
based on legal or equitable grounds. All statements shall be made
subject to the obligations set forth in s. 802.05.
Well we only gave what we thought was relevant. Is it going to depend on whether the Judge is compassionate and is willing to sift through what is compliant with chapter 802 and what doesn't? Will the judge at least consider what IS compliant to ch. 802?? Please help!
