You can check for judgments against a person by searching court records online, visiting the courthouse in the jurisdiction where the judgment was issued, or hiring a professional background check service. Additionally, credit reports may also show any judgments that have been reported to credit bureaus.

What if you took a contractor to court to pay your attorney fees to get an illegal lien off your house and he has not paid so how do you put a lien on him?

I assume you were awarded a "Judgment and Decree Quieting Title" or some other order to that effect. There is no way to file a "lien" against the contractor--you already have a civil judgment. I would first contact the contractor licensing authority in your state--they will be able to see if the contractor has a cash bond to attach the judgment to. Second, I would call a real estate or construction law attorney--look for attorneys in the phone book who give "free consultations."


What does in rem judgment mean?

It means that the property was "sued" rather than the person who owns the property. In fact, the case may revolve around who is the rightful owner. You sometimes see cases with names like, "Health Department versus ten bushels of abandoned clams."


If you have a judgment and after 7 years it's off your credit does that mean that the creditor can't put a lien on any of your property?

I don't know if the laws are the same everywhere, but we had to get a judgment against someone and had a lien placed on his house. We were told that if we went back to court before the 7 years were up we could get another judgment against him and keep the lien in place. He's had a lien on his home for over 10 years now -- and until he pays his debt or the law changes we'll keep going back to court. Of course, he owes us a LOT of money. A judgment has to be renewed by the plaintiff at set intervals, determined by law. You can find the SOL relative to judgments for your state, and if the statute has expired, contact the court to see if the judgment has been renewed by the plaintiff. If not, they can't collect.


What is a cross-motion for summary judgment?

"Cross motions" always travel in pairs, as each party files a motion on the same issue and as part of the same process. Cross-motions for summary judgment are part of a pre-trial process in which both parties submit briefs to the judge, arguing that no trial is needed to determine the relevant facts in the case. Cross-motions for summary judgment may occur even if the parties have different versions of the facts. In that event, both motions will be denied. Cross-motions for summary judgment are to be distinguished from "agreed motions for summary judgment" in which the parties present one, agreed motion, claiming that the facts are not in dispute and asking the judge for a decision solely on the law. See also "motion for judgment on the pleadings," also distinguishable from "cross-motions for summary judgment "

What can be done about a judgment that you were not notify about in 1999?

The judgment should be examined to see if it is truly valid. A large percentage of judgments are not. The judgment was rendered by default, which means the person did not show up in court to defend the action. If the judgment can be proved to be faulty, (wrong person named, wrong amount of debt, etc.. it can be appealed via the court.

If the Police come to your house looking for someone and ask if they can look in your room for that person and see something illegal can they arrest you?

The police can look around for where a person might be hiding if you have given them permission. If they see something illegal while looking for the person they can arrest you. They cannot ask to look for a person and go through your suitcases or any place a person could not be. The fact is, it will be your word against theirs at trial, and the illegal stuff will have been in plain sight when they describe how they found it.

How do you spot a famous person?

Does really matter about how you look like?

Yes, it does to some extent. People judge others by how they look ( this is not right, but it is what happens) and it only takes a few seconds for this to happen. Once this takes place that judgment rules how the person responds to the other person. So, if you look like a slob or not really good this is how the other person will see you and respond. This can be wrong but it takes place. If you are applying for a job or going to a new place this can determine if you get the job or make new friends. You need an awareness of how you look to others if you wish to be successful.
