Affidavit of Nonmilitary Service
This statute has been on the books since 1940 to protect soldiers fighting in the foxholes who could not defend themselves in a lawsuit, but until now it was not stringently enforced by the court. Landlords should know that a case will be stalled or possibly dismissed if the affidavit is not filed before the first appearance, and since there is only a week between the filing and the first appearance, it is highly recommended to file the affidavit at the same time as the FED Summons and Complaint. |
