QUESTIONS

  • I am applying to live in an apartment, and the application asks for my birth certificate. My peers think that is unheard of and that I need to double check why they are asking for that personal documentation. Does it have anything to do with the laws regarding illegal immigration? Or does it have to do with checking to see if I am a legal citizen, but why can't they just use my drivers license and/or social security number?
  • How do they prorate rent in Arizona? Thanks
  • I'm buying the house that I live in. A friend needed some help and I rented my back yard to her so that she and her family had a place to stay. She stopped paying rent about a year back and things are going down hill bad. What paper work do I need to file to evict, she live in a motorhome.
  • My children are 15 and 9. I would like to take us on a trip to Europe. When looking at the passport papers it says I need the "other" parent to sign off on Form DS-3053, consent for a minor child to get a passport. My children's father hasn't had ANY contact with them in the past 9+ years. Is there a way around this? Can I file something with Arizona court? Doesn't the length of time count as abandonment by him? Thank you.
  • I'm not happy with my marriage and my husband is saying he is moving out and he is taking our 5 year old from me. Possibly moving to Indiana. My background isn't perfect, mostly drug charges from the past. He will try to use it against me. Can he legally take my son. With out my knowledge. And if he dose move out, can I go take my son back. Can he take him, or is it kidnapping. What are my rights?
  • If the father of my children has been living at home since he got released from prison, and I am no longer getting des assistance how do we get the child support order stopped and get some of the back pay removed from what is owed when he was in prison?
  • My mom and stepdad have a trust that was set up by their insurance broker. I am the trustee and the trust states that all assets are to be sold and split equally between the 6 children. This is a blended family. Do they need a will in addition to the trust?
  • If a person lives in my house rental free and has moved out her belongs of her own free will. Can I change the locks with no waiting period?
  • I rent a condo from the owner. The landlord has sent 4 serviceman to fix my 23 year old ac unit that has been non stop leaking on 7/4( now 7/28). Each saying the ac simply needs to be replaced. I have numerous bowls out bc it leaks in different areas. The hallway is a hazard and unsightly . He has come to terms it needs replaced. What time frame am I entitled to have the replacement done timely ? Also is it my responsibility to meet the repairman if the landlord cannot accommodate my work schedule?
  • Question-once a work schedule of an employee has been posted can the employer make changes to the schedule w/o consulting the employee, and if employee can not accommodate the change can the employer retaliate with disciplinary action.
