Best Answer

For starters, to suggest that a complicated civil rights suit should be initiated by a "form" is almost an affront to our legal system. Any such claims should be evaluated by a competent attorney before bringing them in federal court. Incorrectly argued claims may be dismissed easily under Federal Civil Procedure Rule 12(b)(6) and a plaintiff may be barred from asserting those claims later because of the doctrine of res judicata. That being said, a pro se plaintiff is capable of asserting a civil rights violation in a standard "form" complaint. Depending on the district, judges will often look past discrepancies in pleading and rule on the correct issue. However, for the best chance of success, go with an attorney. If you are no/low income or receive a majority of your income from government benefits (like SSI/SSD), call your local Legal Aid office.

On which tax form do you list exemptions?

Exemptions are listed on the 1040 series. On Form 1040 and Form 1040A, the Exemptions Section is the third section on the first page and covers lines 6a through 6d. On Form 1040EZ exemptions are in the Income Section. You don't identify your exemptions by name.

Where do I Find legal forms for quiet title complaint in Florida?

Generally, a quiet title action is not a fill-in form. A quiet title action is commenced by the filing of a complaint. The complaint must be drafted by an attorney who specializes in real estate law, or at the very least, by someone with a background in the relevant law who knows how to draft a complaint. The complaint must describe the title defect, explain where in the title the defect or cloud arose and convince the court that the plaintiff should be confirmed as the rightful owner. That information must be supported by a title examination performed by a professional. The complaint must be served on the opposing party.
