(Background: To say I have a problem with my next door neighbor is an understatement. My resources are very limited whle he owns 21 houses and has an attorney on his payroll. Also he has a history of twisting things to his convenience. ) Our property has a driveway that he claimed gives him access to park in the back of his townhouse and claims his parking is back there. He has a driveway on the other side of his building. The townhouses were built in 1988. We bought ours in 2007 but we met the tennant that lived in ours the previous ten years. That back portion was called patio, had table and chairs and barbecue and lounge chairs. In 2011 his longtime tenant left and it stayed vacant for a year. In 2012 my kids were served papers on a Motion for temporary and permanent injunction on us blocking his driveway and heckling and harassing and barricading his access. My kids had been gone for over a year and nobody had done what the neighbor claimed. Unfortunately their reply was two days late and they did not pay to open the default. The neighbor asked to strike their reply and entrer a default judgment. The judge did which I think was in error because my son had entered a Demand for a Jury Trial and that one was timely and was ignored. Unfortunately they did not appeal so the injunction stayed. Now I just got served with a Motion for contempt on the injunction and damages. Can I bring a Motion to Strike the injunction since it was based on perjury and fraud? I showed my evidence to the DA, he agreed with me, that I have a strong case, but said that they don't take perjury ever. Can I ask the judge who will be holding me in contempt, to hear my presentation of the perjury and then strike it on that basis? Also I think I am being denied my Due Process rights since I was never served the injunction and given the opportunity to my defense on the injunction being on false facts.
Could you please tell me also how to pose the Constitutional question?
