QUESTIONS

  • I and my children's father have been divorced for several years. The children are very comfortable with my boyfriend and I trust him explicitly. Recently, one of the children was injured at school. Administration attempted to contact me, but I was unavailable, as was my ex. My boyfriend is listed as an emergency contact but has no decision making rights over the kids. Can I afford him POA to make those decisions without the consent of my ex?
  • I got divorced on Oct.17, 2018 after 24 years of marriage which 15 were active duty. Now I’ve been considering the “Former Spouse Act” . My question is .. can I get a percentage of his pension even after divorce? How do I go about it?
  • We were paying our electricity through our apartment complex. They would bill it to us each month with our rent with a 50 dollar service fee. Last month they didn't bill us for it and it wasn't in our bill, so we were waiting until they gave us the bill or it was just added on to next months payment and/or rent. They did add it on to the next months rent/bill and we usually pay the 3rd if every month which isn't late. They turned off our power without any notice AT ALL on the second. They didn't give any warning what so ever. Is that legal?!
  • The landlord recently handed out notices to everyone that they owe tax on their January rent and the rent tax has increased 2%. There was no notification of the increase and they are also taxing the tax amount stated in the lease. Example: My rent is $550 + $10tax, I now owe $1.10 for January and $1.10 every month there after. I know the amounts are low but in principal. Can they do this and try an evicition over it?
  • I need help with getting food.
  • I know someone who was brought to the United States illegally by her parents over 14 years ago. I would like to see if I can help. Is there anyone out there that can tell me whether or not she is eligible to get her papers and if so who I can contact for further information. Thanks in advance.
  • I received a letter from the HOA and the property management company that the window screens need to be replaced or repaired. The screens are in the same condition as move in, less sun damage. My lease does not specify that they are my responsibility. Please advise.
  • if someone worked with a faked social security until May 2013 then got her valid social can she transfer all the years worked under the faked social security #?
  • Back in March 2017 I had a court order joint custody and parenting time with no child support. On 12/05 I received paperwork from the kids mom asking to modify the parenting time custody and support. I need to respond back to her back I don't know what exact form to use. Everything I see if for someone to start up the modification process.
  • When my 3 year old daughter was born her father refused to sign the birth certificate, he requested a paternity test be done through the state, after paternity was established they then established child support , my question is because he has not filled out any forms asking to amend her birth certificate or acknowledge paternity does he still have rights? I'm getting married and would like to have my new husband adopt her (i know her bio father will no longer be responsible for child support) and everything was done through DES.
