cross-complaint
n. after a complaint has been filed against a defendant for damages or other orders of the court, the defendant may file a written complaint against the party suing him/her or against a third party as long as the subject matter is related to the original complaint. The defendant's filing of a complaint is called a cross-complaint, and the defendant is then called a cross-complainant and the party he/she sues is called a cross-defendant. The defendant must still file an answer or other response to the original complaint. If the cross-complaint is against the original plaintiff (original suer) then it can be served on the plaintiff's attorney by mail, but a third party must be served in person with the cross-complaint and a new summons issued by the clerk of the court. The cross-defendants must then file answers or other responses. These are called pleadings and must be carefully drafted (usually by an attorney) to properly state the factual as well as legal basis for the claim and contain a prayer for damages or other relief.

What is Fourth degree sexual assault in Minnesota?
I would like toknow what is considered Sexual assault between an 8 year old female during visits with their father and a 12 year old ( soon to be )step brother - does him holding her down on his lap and moving her around constitute as sexual assualt - what are my rights in protecting my daughter against being sent into that situation again and making sure further incidents do not occur or put her into a harmful situation where something more could potentially happen ? The father has rights for every other weekend visitation - and despite my attempts at discussing this with him he sees nothing wrong with the behavior and I am concerned for the safety and well being of our daughter. I also have a 10 year old son who visits with his sister as well -s o far there has not been any mention from him that anything has happened to him. Thank you.
