QUESTIONS

  • My 15 year old daughter moved back to live with me just over a year ago. My ex and I went to court to change custody and he was awarded 57 days of visitation. I drive my daughter 5 hours to where he lives so she has the opportunity to see him. She does not want to stay at his house because his new wife is verbally and emotionally abusive. He always knows when she is in town and he refuses to see her if she doesn't stay at his house. Do I have to force her to stay with him if I know what she has to go through there? Am I in contempt of court if I do not force her to stay at his house?

  • i'm a tenant senior asking if my landlord has to provide heating for me in the winter. hope to hear from you soon. thanks
  • We have lived in our apartment for just about 9 yrs. my landlord has completely ignored basic maintenance of this place. I have two giant holes in my ceiling (bedroom.) Termites in my son's room. No garbage disposal, which my landlord has bragged about not replacing to other tenants. He always wants to save money, so the few things he does replace are in poor condition or are jerri-rigged. Our main water valve is connected to our neighbor's. Swamp never wrks. He shows up unannounced or doesn't show up for agreed upon time. And more! What are my rights to get my deposit back and move out?
  • I'm still legally married to my husband even though we haven't lived together or been in a relationship for over 3 years. Recently my boyfriend and I had a child and we want his information legally on our son's birth certificate. My husband is refusing to sign the waiver of paternity. What form(s) do I need to file with the court to establish paternity without his involvement?
  • I want to get married but my fiance is concerned that his barber school lien will negatively impact me. Is there any reason to delay getting married?
  • Am I required by law to give a formal 5 or 10 day notice for repairs for lack of hot water to terminate our lease if no reasonable effort was made within 5 days to fix the issue or was our initial maintenance request sufficient notice of the problem?
