Someone I broke up with recently is attempting to file an injunction against me. In short, it's completely illegitimate. She suffers from paranoid delusions. She's had two different injunctions against two other men in the past, so this seems like her pattern of behavior after a breakup.
After filing the injunction, she has since contacted me twice via text, tried to call (I DID NOT answer), and via email. Her messages she left were quite antagonistic, definitely not the behaviors of someone who is supposedly afraid of you.
I have copies of the email (including IP address), along with the texts and phone call record. So, no worries about the injunction getting dropped.
My concern is money she owes me. In her statements with the injunction, she stated she owed me $150 for AC repairs at her home, but then stated she wasn't going to pay it in case I disputed the charge (which since I signed for it, obviously I can't). Regardless, it's now on record in this case that she acknowledges she agreed to reimburse me that money. Is there any way I can address that in the hearing for this case, or do I need to file a separate small claims suit? They gave me this letter today, and the hearing is Monday, so I don't have hardly any time to prepare, and can't file anything before the hearing since it's right at the start of court on Monday at 9am. Not sure if I even can do anything about it in this case, but figured I'd ask.
And if you're going to say cut my losses, I already lost about $500 in other things I helped her pay for, on top of multiple possessions that were over her house that I'm not getting back. Considering I have 3 children to provide for, every dollar counts, so that $150 is a big deal to me, even if it isn't to you. Please take that into consideration if you give me feedback. Thank you
