We added a Litigation Abuse page in Tennessee that includes the following six new questions based on the law that allows someone dealing with an abusive civil action to request that pre-filing restrictions be put on the plaintiff:
- What is the definition of an abusive civil action in Tennessee?
- How can I raise a claim that an abusive civil action has been filed?
- How do I prove the abuser has filed an abusive civil action?
- What can a judge do after deciding that a court case is an abusive civil action?
- What happens if an abusive civil plaintiff files new court papers?
- The judge determined that the case against me is not an abusive civil action. What will happen next?
We revised the question “Is there anything I can do if my abusive partner continually files court proceedings against me?” on our Restraining Orders, Custody, and Divorce pages to direct users to this new section.
We also added five related statutes to our Selected Tennessee Statutes page.
