Filing Late Lawsuit Georgia
Summary
Filing a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired requires a motion for leave to file late, citing reasons like equitable tolling or disability. Start by filing an application for waiver of court fees to avoid costs. Determine whether to file in state or federal court based on the nature of your claims. If suing for constitutional rights violations, federal court may be appropriate. List relevant defendants, such as DFCS and the sheriffs department, and specify individuals if necessary. Ensure the police report accurately reflects the incident, especially if it affected your case outcome. For financial disclosures, accurately report your income and expenses on the fee waiver form.Full Conversation
what would I file first the motion for leave or the waiver of court fees? and is there a form for this that I can print out and then fill it out? and if I am suing the county would I need to use the federal court for that
*. File the Application for Waiver of Court Fees first, as this will allow you to proceed without paying fees for subsequent filings.
*. Then file the Motion for Leave to File Late, explaining your reasons for the delay.
Forms can typically be found on the court's website or at the courthouse. For suing the county, it depends on the nature of the case:
- State Court: Most cases against the county.
- Federal Court: If your case involves federal law or constitutional rights.
Would you like the contact details for the Fannin County Court to get the forms?

well I'm not sure if I need the forms from Fannin county or from the federal court that I will have to use what happened was when I was * my dad beat me very badly my mom called the police on him but because of my dad and the officer being good friends he did not go to jail then the DFCS had everything turned around on my mom like she had done something wrong making her see a therapist at my dads house while him and his mother were there they made her take a drug test and the later telling her she did not pass it she knew she was clean so she went and took a hair test but before she could get it back they removed me from my mom and placed me with my dad even knowing what he had done many more upsetting things took place but I guess the thing that I would be suing for is for the officer not taking my dad to jail after he beat me leaving bruises on me for over * weeks
That sounds like a very difficult situation. Since you're considering suing the county and possibly involving federal laws, it might be beneficial to consult with a lawyer to get specific legal advice. However, generally speaking:
*. State Court: For claims against the county or local officials.
*. Federal Court: For federal law or constitutional rights violations.

Here are some considerations:
- Federal Court:
- Handles cases involving federal law or constitutional rights violations.
- Might be suitable given your claims against the police and DFCS.
- State Court:
- Typically handles claims against the county or local officials.
- Might be appropriate if your claims are more about negligence or misconduct at the local level.

would you say that if an officer put in his report that a case offense type was family offenses, nonviolent and then put the statute was cruelty to children and also put no arrest was made that his report is done right
Case Rating: *
In Georgia, the officer's report should accurately reflect the incident. If the offense type is "family offenses, nonviolent" but the statute cited is "cruelty to children," it may be inconsistent.
- "Cruelty to children" is a serious charge and should be reflected correctly in the offense type.
- If no arrest was made, the report should indicate why, especially given the severity of the charge.
Do you believe this inconsistency affected the outcome of your case?
