Paternity case ongoing in Indiana; Plaintiff comes to Florida; initiates same case; who has jurisdiction?

Question

2 weeks prior to Indiana Court ruling for defendant the plaintiff initiated Florida Case, likely knowing result of Indiana decision. Any & all criteria relative to State Statutes concerning Florida Court justifiably entering jurisdiction are disproved and moot, though Florida Court continues to exercise jurisdiction. Plaintiff moved then to another circuit within the state and initiated same said case again there; said case was dismissed . . . yet original Florida Circuit Court continues to exercise jurisdiction in error.

Answer 1

I am sorry that this person is continuing to go through this kind of harassment.
I know that unfortunatley a lot of people tend to abuse the court system by doing just this sort of thing.
I see it every day!
Example~ A woman enters the courthouse claiming her B/F beat her and she needs a restraining order, she lists her address on the application and the Temp order as the address in which both of them reside.
The police come and escort the man from his home only allowing him a bag of his clothing to bring with him.
He is now served with thet temp order.
For 2 weeks he sleeps from couch to couch trying to still work at a job he needs to pay the bills on the home she is residing in.
In court he shows up with his attorney and evidence that the house is his, she is the abusive party ( by way of police reports and pics) and that she has done this exact same thing to 4 other men in the last 3 years.
The judge orders the woman out of the mans house with the threat of not wanting to see her again in his courtroom.
There is not anything in place to do any kind of background research on a person who files these kind of lies with court.
It takes up the judges time, the D.A.'s time and the victims time from work all to entertain a sick womans need for attention.
( or mans need for attention, it is not at all only women who abuse the innocent people who haoppen to stumble across their path as well as the courts time)

Answer 2

The helping hand you need is at the end of your arm. If you do not think it is your responsibility to insure the Florida court learns ALL the facts, well, you'll get what you failed to ask for. Why don't you get the Indiana court to send their documentation to Florida, and insure the Florida court is provided with the original residency involved in the original case - assuming the original case was not initiated by the same kind of error you are indicating was caused by the subsequent case?

Answer 3

If the Indiana court makes its ruling, the Florida court is bound to follow that. Article IV of the Constitution.

The Full Faith and Credit clause requires one court to honor the legal determinations of any other court.

Until the Indiana court issues a final ruling, and pending any appeal, the original Florida court is correct in retaining jurisdiction.

Answer 4

you need to send a certified copy of the judgment to the Florida court send the papers by certified mail so they can not say they did not receive them that shows the date of judgment by federal law they must enforce the Indiana's court ruling unless the person filed first or lived longer than 6 months in the state they are not considered citizens of the state until they been there six months hope this helps
