Which state's statute of limitations applies if you do not live in the state where the judgment is filed?

The SOL where the judgment is filed would be the one used. However, when a the debtor moves to another state the usual procedure is to file an abstract judgment against property that the debtor now owns in the new state.

What the statute of limitations on possession of a firearm by convicted felon in Virginia?

Short answer: 15 years.

In practical application: One can acquire title to another's real property by (i) exclusively possessing the land, (ii) openly and notoriously, (iii) adverse/hostile to the owner (that is, without permission), and doing so (iv) continuously for the 15 year statutory period.

The 15 year period is derived from the statute of limitations on the landowner's right to bring suit to eject a trespasser. Thus, to call it a statute of limitations on adverse possession is a bit of a misnomer; rather, it is the amount of time required to obtain title via adverse possession as a consequence of the original owner's failure to bring suit.

In Virginia, this limitations period is codified at Va. Code § 8.01-236:

"No person shall make an entry on, or bring an action to recover, any land unless within fifteen years next after the time at which the right to make such entry or bring such action shall have first accrued to such person or to some other person through whom he claims; provided that an action for unlawful entry or detainer under § 8.01-124 shall be brought within three years after such entry or detainer."

Available at http://vacode.org/8.01-236/ (unofficial, but easy to navigate); and http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+8.01-236 (official, but ugly and clumsy).

[Note that the proviso referencing § 8.01-124 has extremely limited application, usually in the context of landlord-tenant disputes.]

What is the statute of limitations in Georgia for debt on written contracts?

If a warrant has been issued, there is no statute of limitations. You've been given notice. It is just a matter of catching up to you. A routine traffic stop could end up with you in cuffs. Pay it off and live without it over your head.

AnswerIf a warrant hasn't been filed, I believe there is a 2 year statute of limitations on a misdemeanor check, and a 4 year statute for a felony check. A misdemeanor check is a check wrote for 499 dollars or less. And a felony is for anything above 500 dollars. I believe it's a felony if written on an out of state check, regardless of the amount.
