family and small claims


Recommended Posts

What do you think my chnaces of winning will be? I foolishly signed for a car for my daughter-in-law. She was to make the payments and eventually own the car. Well she defaulted on the payments and it was taken as a repo. They sold the car and now there is $2,300. owed on it. Its in my name of course...Can I take her to small claims and sue her for the balance?

You can sue a family member in small claims. However, the judge is going to probably make you go to arbitraition first and will undoubtedly give you a lecture about family problems taking up the courts time.

I would certainly try to work it out first.

Wow, that's cold :p. Hell, my little brother took me for close to 40 grand back when I actually had money to blow, but I still send him a Christmas card every year or something :p. But anyways, there's nothing to preclude you from suing her...but what would be the ramifications on your son, to boot? You didn't say ex-daughter-in-law, so I'm going to guess that there will be familial collateral damage if you do that.
