Money judgments only

A small-claims judge generally orders one side to pay money; other kinds of orders belong in higher courts.

The Process

How Faulkner County's small claims division works

It's built to be navigable without a lawyer. Here's the shape of a case from start to finish.

Step 01

File your claim

Complete the claim form, choose the right court, and pay the filing fee.

Step 02

Serve & respond

Formal notice reaches the other party, who then has a window to respond or resolve it.

Step 03

Hearing & decision

The hearing itself is short and informal. Some courts allow video. The ruling comes then or later in writing.

This is the route a Faulkner County case takes, whether it starts in 72032 or anywhere else among the county ZIP codes. Faulkner County District Court lists (501) 450-6112 as its number.

Service of Process

How to notify the other side

Once the case is on file, the law requires the other side to be told about it formally. That step is service of process, and the papers cannot normally come from your own hand. Arkansas courts usually take delivery by the sheriff or constable, email service where the court allows it or delivery arranged by the court.

Who delivers the papers

Courts accept service by a sheriff or constable, a professional server, the clerk via certified mail, or an adult who is not party to the case. Permitted methods and charges change by county.

The deadline

There is a deadline, counted backwards from the hearing, by which the defendant must have the papers. Ask the clerk for it when the date is assigned.

Proof of service

A completed proof of service records who delivered the papers and when, and it is filed with the court beforehand.

Service is where many self-filed cases stall. Squabble can coordinate professional Service of Process so it's done correctly and on time.

Addresses in Faulkner County include places such as Conway, Damascus and Enola. A Faulkner County address carries one of its 12 ZIP codes, 72032, 72033 and 72034 among them.

Deadlines

Arkansas statute of limitations

The law fixes how long you have, counted from the dispute itself. A case brought later can be refused outright.

Claim typeHow long you have
Written contract5 years
Oral contract3 years
Property damage3 years
Personal injury3 years
Time is counted from when the contract was broken, the property harmed or the injury caused. Particular claims can carry different periods, so confirm yours.
Ark. Code Ann. sec. 16-56-111 (written contracts, 5 years)

The same periods apply in Faulkner County as in nearby Conway County and Pulaski County, which are in the same state. They do not change from one Faulkner County ZIP code to another, 72032 included.

Interest

Interest on what you're owed

Money owed under a contract in Arkansas generally accrues interest at 6% per year before judgment (Ark. Const. Amend. 89 §14).

The Squabble interest calculator shows what the accrued figure comes to on top of the principal.

It is the same rate across all 12 Faulkner County ZIP codes. The rate above is the one for Faulkner County, population about 131,611.

After a Judgment

Collecting after a judgment

A judgment is the court's decision. Collecting it is a separate step, with court-backed tools if the other side doesn't pay. Which tools are available depends on state law.

Garnishing wages

Where the law allows, an employer can be directed to send part of the debtor's pay to the court.

Taking it from a bank account

A levy lets the court reach money sitting in the debtor's bank account.

Securing it against property

Recording the judgment with the county can place a lien on the debtor's real property.

You can also ask the court to order the debtor to appear and disclose income and assets under oath. An unpaid judgment generally keeps accruing interest at the rate state law sets until it's satisfied.
