MUST be answered to the best of your ability. The Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940 states that proceedings may be stayed at any stage, at the discretion of the Court, so that military personnel would not be subject to prosecution while unable to attend court proceedings. The Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act, states that, "any person who shall make or use an affidavit required under this section, or a statement, declaration, verification or certificate, certified or declared to be true under penalty of perjury, knowing it to be false, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by imprisonment not to exceed one year or by fine not to exceed $1,000.00 or both." NAMING YOUR DEFENDANT(S) Under "My Claim is Against", PRINT OR TYPE the name of the person you wish to sue. If the Defendant is a corporation, we must have the name of the President, Vice President or Registered Agent on which to serve the papers, indicating name and title. You may obtain this information on the internet at www.sunbiz.org. You must also PRINT OR TYPE the defendants address or address at which service can be satisfied.
