QUESTIONS

  • I divorced in Seattle 11 years ago and my ex moved down to Phoenix with my son and I moved down here 5 years ago. He is 13 now and I have always paid child support but I have no record of it, as we did not go through the courts for this. I am getting married in a few months and want to have something signed or some document stating that I have paid child support for the last 13 years and something that shows I continue to pay directly to her every month. Is there something like that here in AZ that will protect me from her stating I never paid?
  • I signed a plea agreement in superior court, can I change my mind?
  • If a landlord fails to fix a hot water heater within 7 days is there any legal recourse in receiving a reduction in rent?
  • Can my former spouse elect to receive less than her previously awarded share of my military retirement in a modification?
  • Me and my husband got married in 2010 and a year ago we separated I want a divorce but we never filed for his citzenship and he won't divorce me because he doesn't want to be deported. What should I do???
  • As a tenant am I able to send the owner a bill for time spent at the property assisting with maintenance and work done to repair numerous deferred maintenance issues? I calculated at least 55 hours whereby I was expected to be at the property when workers repaired faucets and broken pipes and the need to tear up and replace kitchen tiles, and more. I had to take time out from my work to help the owner fix her property - how can that be correct?
  • I lost my job almost a year ago. I was denied unemploymt due to a paperwork problem and didn't appeal as I kept thinking I had a job right around the corner. I didn't. I finally got a job, right after I filed the appeal. They denied me because I hadn't been checking in every week. Is there anything I can do to get my "back-pay"? I was applying for jobs the whole time and can prove it.
  • My daughters father and i currently have a vistation order from the court, he gets her every other weekend. I want to move in the future because i do not like the town im living and want to move to a safer area closer to my family. there is a chance my Fiance could be getting a job in another part of florida, how would i be able to get permission to move if the father doesnt agree
  • Our roof caved in in the bedroom and looks shaky in the kitchen (under the entire weight of the swamp cooler). We have sent a certified letter. We are moving but our landlord is refusing to refund our deposit. What are my options?
  • I am 17 years old, currently 7 months away from being 18. My parents do not want me visiting my boyfriend who lives about 15 miles away from me on the weekends. I am determined to walk that distance every weekend and back, but never stay the night. My mother wants to forcibly keep me from going. I would never miss school if I did this. Can she call the police and make them drag me back to the house?
