I'm taking my ex to small claims. Everything online says "where they can be served".
She moved 50 miles, to a new county. But it is within driving distance of where she used to live, where the events occured and where I live.
Do I have to have the papers filed / served in the new county. Or can she be served in the county where I live and she used to live?

call small claims court and ask.... my bet you're going to file where they live, home county is always where I've had to chase someone.

I believe you file the papers in the area where the circumstances occured - so you would file the papers at your local Small Claims Court - the papers will be served by the court.
You can (unless things have changed recently) swear an Affadavit and serve papers yourself if it keeps costs down etc etc
I may be corrected on the above - but the local court will be able to tell you

Hi and good morning...Yes you can still serve your ex in the same county in which you live. Just because she moved out of the immediate area doesn't mean she can't be served in the county you still reside in. Good luck. Have a great day!

Generally you have to file in the court of the current residence of the person whom you are suing. However, there are situations where this is waved. If she still works locally, you may be able to serve her in your community. Contact the local small claims court in your area to find out the exact requirements as they do vary from place to place.

The court proceedings will be held in the county where the "events" occurred unless she files hardship papers and gets the proceedings moved to her area.
As far as where the papers can be served, they can be served on anyone at anytime and anywhere.
But thats just in my state. Your jurisdictions may vary.

all people can sue all people for virtually any reason. the genuine question is whether or no longer or no longer you will prevail. In maximum small claims or "conciliation" courts, you additionally can sue for the submitting fee. yet right this is the problem. What information do you have that it substitute right into a "own loan" and not a recent or which you gave your chum the money in any respect? i think of the consensus right this is nice: chalk up the $50 to adventure and pass on. good success with despite you establish.
