I'm totally not an expert, furthermore I'm not a lawyer either... I just like this discussion. So... (hypothetically) if it's legal for someone under the age of 16 in Montana to call a 900 number. Would it be legal for a 16 year old to call (from Arizona) a 900 Number in Montana? Not that this is exactly the same thing...but we are trying to decide which laws take precedent. I'm sure if you filled the complaint in the State of Arizona against a business in Arizona who was breaking Arizona Laws but doing it through another office in a another state, the case would still have precedent in Arizona. Now if they counter sue you in Montana that will be left up to the Montana courts. Can they even counter sue from another venue? I would be willing to bet that they can only counter from the original state. But keep in mind you can sue anyone for anything. It's up to the judge if he will hear you or not. From all the T.V. that I've watch usually states don't mix their legal battles unless it's a really big deal.
