The family members who hired me to care for my aunt are now evicting me. I WANT to leave, but I am owed more than $50,000 -- most of that in wages, but a little for still unreimbursed expenditures of my own for her bills and expenses. That was part of my job too, and then I did a lot of paperwork and scanning, etc., to get reimbursed. I did the paperwork for her disabled son as well when he helped pay his and his mother's expenses, as he can't use computers. I sacrificed 13 months of my life and lost more than I care to think about during those times, and I was living in a one-room apartment adjoining her house so provided round-the-clock care for both her and her disabled son -- and dealt with much hostility and a vicious son who accosted me and broke in to my apartment and did a whole lot else requiring police intervention at times, but I don't have the spirit to write any of that again here. Anyway, I'm sorry this sounds so disjointed and lacks more specifics, but I couldn't submit the 4,998 characters I tried sending here when I discovered your website. Thank you for being here, though. I'll try submitting this now ...

Darn. It looks like the maximum you can sue for in small claims court in Utah is $10,000. In that case I suggest consulting a lawyer.

Oh my. What a mess!

I think that the answer is small claims court, if that amount is within the limits where you are. Apply for a court date. Gather up all the documents, receipts, and paperwork you have related to this situation.

Leave. Follow the deadlines of the eviction notice. Start building a new life. And try to go through the judicial process to get the money owed you.

Out of curiosity, why did you put up with non-payment for 13 months?
