Motion and chancery court questions

[Carguy392]

Jurisdiction

Tennessee

<div class="bbWrapper">I had someone take money from me, I got a judgment but instead of paying they ran. <br /> It took a while but I found the property they owned and placed a lien on it. Tried to foreclose but they filed bankruptcy but it was dismissed by the court because they didn&#039;t pick a plan. <br /> I lost my lawyer who was helping on contingency.<br /> <br /> I finally created a new motion to foreclose based off the previous one. It&#039;s for chancery court apparently. I still need to create new summons first and the Debtor is very difficult to serve. <br /> My former lawyer also asked a judge separately to use publication in the newspaper to serve notice, would that still be usable ? Or would I have to ask again if the sheriff is unsuccessful ?<br /> <br /> In the prayer for relief section, I didn&#039;t know what I could actually ask for. I asked for<br /> an additional $200 a month from the time of my judgment until I am paid. Is that something that chancery court could grant or is that an unrealistic request ?</div>
