What is considered a ';civil'; court case?

I was looking up my ex's file online and he has 17 open court cases...the last one being on his birthday. It says Civil Other. I was just wondering what that could be. I don't like sending my son with him, especially with his bad record and wanting to know what he could have done now. Most of the past cases were traffic infractions. But what is Civil Other. Thanks!What is considered a ';civil'; court case?
Usually a law suit for property damage or a bodily injury claim. It can be for breach of contract, faliure to pay bills, or any activity you can think of that it not a criminal offense.What is considered a ';civil'; court case?
It is probably a civil lawsuit as opposed to a criminal one. For what that could be, you probably don't have the access to know, and it could be almost anything. Ask you ex and maybe he would tell you for free.





If you are concerned about sending your son to him, however, you probably want to try and work out a better arrangement with him between the two of you first. If that is not an option, I recommend consulting an attorney. The cost of doing so is probably less than you think, and, in the long run, less than the cost it would be if your relationship with your ex turns further south. A family law attorney will be best suited to help determine what your legal options as far as further limiting his access to your child than myself and anyone else posting free advice online. Good luck.
Cival is almost anything that is not criminal. Money owed,landlord-tenant,community property. etc
This means he is being sued or is suing.
