    Question Did I Forfeit My Half of Check by Signing and Forwarding to Roomate

    My question involves a security deposit in the State of: AZ I received the security deposit check after moving to another state. I signed it and sent it to my ex-roomate to sign who said he would send me half the money when he cashed it. Di I have to go back to AZ to sue him in small claims court for my $200?

    That depends.

    How long ago did you send it? Have you asked him where your share is?

    I sent check a few weeks ago but now he does not answer my phone calls. We didn't part on good terms. It would take me about 10 hours to drive back to AZ. Would I have to back there twice? Once to file and again for court?

    You may be able to file by mail or even online. Give the Clerk of Courts in the county of the other party's residence a call for instructions and forms.

    You'll need to attend the hearing in person. You can sometimes hire an attorney to attend on your behalf, but over $200? That's a little spendy.
