QUESTIONS

  • My sons father lives out of state but isn't on the birth certificate. does my sons father need to pay child support??
  • The house is under contract "as is", delay in closing (1 month, then 3 more months due to divorce not yet finalized). Owner-to-be is paying rent month to month. Without permission or notice has rectified plumbing, tree, electric situations and now wants seller-to-be to pay expenses. Since it is under contract "as is", does seller-to-be have to pay anything?
  • How can we stop paying child support for our daughter who has been living with us for the last 5 years? We have asked her mother to write a letter to have it stopped, but she refuses. She is worried they will try to make her pay the money back, since she has been taking it under false pretenses. PLease help!
  • i'm a single parent of two kids, my ex husband has custody of another child in arizona. at the time that he filed child support, i was only making a little over 25,000 a year but the judge awarded him $500 a month. I was wondering how did they come up with that figure, when it's obvious that i can't afford that? And is it possible to get modification on support that i'm in arrears with?
  • My ex and I divorced with one child. He owns his own business and put down his estimated income on the child support form. It was signed and finalized as a part of the divorce and he paid child support and 70% of medical bills. We are updating our incomes and he is stating he made less than expected and that, because he was incorrect with his income, I owe him thousands of dollars for the over-payment. Is this accurate? It was he who stated and signed that income amount and because he was wrong, he is stating I owe him for my daughter's medical expenses and child support he paid.
  • I relocated to AZ and still have a house in Nevada. I can no longer make both house payments and am considering letting my house in NV foreclosing or short sale. Not sure what tax liabilities or other repercussions may he entailed.
  • If an attorney tells you not to contact someone, is that legally binding?
  • I am renting a house and the lease states renters are responsible for "yard maintenance." A storm broke 3 large branches on a tree in the backyard, one of which is laying on the patio canopy. The landlord said "I am responsible for yard maintenance. They will pay for any damages." I believe a tree nearly destroyed by a storm is different than yard maintenance and the landlord should have the branches removed and make the determination as to whether the tree should also be removed. Is it legal for them to force the cost of this clean up and potential tree removal on me?
  • Am I covered by the FMLA?
  • I am pregnant and not in a relationship with the father. He wanted me to get an abortion and I refused. He has provided no assistance or support and now that I am about to deliver he says he has a change of heart and is making unreasonable demands. What are my rights and how can I protect my child?
