QUESTIONS

  • In 1990 my claim for PTSD was denied. I did not receive the claim denial letter, because I was imprisoned. I suffered with PTSD for another 30 years. Following a diagnosis of prostate cancer I again filed a claim for agent orange exposure along with another claim for PTSD. The agent orange claim was denied, but the PTSD was rated 100% service connected. I asked that the effective date be the original claim date in 1990, but that was denied. I am seeking help in appealing this to the claims court.
  • I have a defiant 17 year old daughter who is violent and verbally abusive. She has even damaged our home by punching holes in the doors and is using drugs. She will not follow any of our rules and basically comes and goes as she pleases. She turns 18 in 5 months, but will not graduate high school until May of next year. Are we still responsible for her until she graduates, or do our responsibilities end once she turns 18? She is causing turmoil and fear within our home and we just don't know what our rights are.
  • The apartment above mine had a toilet over flow. it leaked through my ceiling and damaged my daughters bed all her toys and clothes, my kitchen table, my wood furniture, went through the cabinets and wet all my dishes and cups (I cant use them after they have had toilet water on them) my couches and the ceiling has water pockets and carpet was mushy and soaked my linen closet was all wet and damaged everything I had in there. can I get out of my lease without paying? Are the Apartments responsible for my belongings or the tenants above me responsible or am I just screwed? my apt stinks!
  • My husband is 80 and showing signs of dementia. He will want to live out his years in Arizona as a resident. He has about $770.000 in resources. I do not plan to be a resident as I have family elsewhere and allergies here, unfortunately. Also, I am 68 and have about $200.000 in resources. Will my resources be tapped if my husband outlives what he has set aside, even if I am not a resident?
  • My baby's father has been in contempt of court "at least" 2 times. This last time the judge told him, "If you haven't made some kind of payment before the review hearing in 2 months...you will go to jail." Well he had not made any payments and the judge didn't do anything about it except give us another review hearing in 2 months. I don't understand why he is getting away with contempt of court and more than once. What can I do?
  • MY LANDLORD OFFERED ME ANOTHER UNIT BECAUSE HE SAID IT HAD MORE SPACE ME NOT KNOWING I SIGNED A LEASE FOR ANOTHER 8 MONTHS AND I WANT TO MOVE IN APRIL PRIOR TO THAT LEASE I SIGNED ON IN APRIL WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN FOR THE SMALLER UNIT IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A YEAR DO I HAVE TO LIVE OUT THE LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE UNIT HE OFFERED TO ME FOR ANOTHER 6 MONTHS
  • I had to evict my tenant and filed a Summons,served her and she finally moved after 7 days. She has refused to pay me what is owed. How do I collect the money owed?
  • Can a Father (who is currently married) take the child (of the marriage) and leave to another state without a court decision on custody or any other legal filing.
  • How long will a DUI misdemeanor remain in my court files in Arizona?
  • I was adopted at the age of 13 from Russia. My adopted American parents were abusive. At the age of 18 I left home. I have been homeless living with friends as I finished my high school diploma. I have not been able to pay anyone for living at their home. I have started community college full time, two of my classes are not college accredited as I was educationally deprive and have to catch up to take Eng. 101 and college math. I spend more time studying than the average student as English is my second language. I work 8 hours a week at a clothing store. I just started caring for a 90 year old lady, more than 20 hours per week, in exchange for a place to study & sleep. DES says I need to work 20 hours a week to get food stamps. Would my caring of the 90 year old count as working even though I do not get paid?
