QUESTIONS

  • If an order of protection says that the defendant has to surrender his firearms to the Mesa PD, can he give them to a friend instead? Is this violating the order of protection?
  • My ex-wife left my son with me in August 2007 and moved to San Antonio, TX. On 5/19/2008 she came to my son's school and took him out and put him on a plane back to San Antonio. Even though she has sole custody the law states that she is suppose to give me 60 days notice before he can be considered to be moved to a different state. How do I get a court sanction?
  • I received a an eviction notice last week giving me days to vacate. I had my boyfriend and dog move in and tried to have him added to the lease. He was denied. They also claim noise, but is is a second level apartment was laminate wood floors. They told me to put rugs down and walk on the balls of my feet. My boyfriend and his dog left. Im packing and they are saying I owe $5,400 at time of moving out. Im current on rent. they asked me to leave. Lease expires 01/30/2016. How can they charge me when Im current and they asked me to leave?
  • My apartment lease will be expiring in a few months and the new lease that has been proposed includes a new payment for a percentage of the common area utilities. The calculation is based on the total utility bill for the common areas then breaks down by square footage and number of occupants of each apartment. The monthly charges will fluctuate from month to moth as the common area charges change. My questions are is this legal? Aren't we already paying for the common area utilities by paying rent? Would this not be consider a double dip? Please advise. Thank you, Kathleen Ingram
