I have a home in Alabama which was purchased while I was in the military. I am renting the home out but live in Louisiana currently. I am being threatened with foreclosure and I want to sue the mortgage lender but I don't want to deal with a court that is 11 hours away. Can I file my complaint locally in order to keep from being forced to travel back to Alabama where the home is located?? I was considering filing in federal court which I believe will be acceptable since federal court covers all states.
Any ideas on this issue?
