motion to ammend

Steve Martinez asked 2 days ago

I missed the deadline to amend a complaint answer without needing court approval. since I am going to request it anyway, should I include the proposed amended answer/affirmative defenses and relevent documents as separate exhibits to the NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND ANSWER?

Wishing you the best for a favorable outcome. Though I do not have an answer to your question. It did give me an idea which may help everyone within the forum groups if it is allowed, would be to include the State, and the Court Jurisdiction of your case within the text of the questions. It may allow others in the same area to quickly search and find local or close to home cases to follow and maybe gain helpful knowledge from or share some helpful info with someone close by. With just this week becoming a member, I can see where it is easy to get overwhelmed with all this great information and being able to narrow it down in some way would be helpful. One of the recent videos I watched, which I didn’t write it down and will have to go back over them to find it, but Problem Parker mentioned there will soon be information available for each State regarding case law searches and I hope State specific Rules and Checklists for State Specific Debt Collector Violations.

An Amendment Motion usually requires you show the court what you want to amend to. Your Exhibit to show the Court is titled, “Proposed Amended Answer” for example and you tell the court of any changes and reasons why you have to amend. The further away from the trial date, the easier the chance for the court to approve. Usually you are showing good faith and no prejudice to the other side. The sooner you do it the harder it is for the other side to complain. Have plenty of videos on this and ParkerGPT has it all in a click.
