With my Emergency Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order filed, and believing that I had 30 days to serve the defendants, my plan was to take the next couple of weeks and prepare my actual complaint (the emergency motion is not technically a lawsuit, just a motion).
However, on September 26th, due to the fact that my motion had not been properly served, the judge dismissed my case. (turns out, in Georgia, you have 5 days to initiate service, and 30 days to complete service) My first lesson learned — the hard way.
