QUESTIONS

  • My sons mother and I lived together since he was born 4 years ago, we are no-longer together and I am considering filing for support on myself for joint custody and parenting time. Will the support be calculated back from the time he was born,from time we separated (1 month), or from time I or she files? for support?
  • My husband is homeless and does not really have an address. I mailed the acceptance of service plus the divorce papers to him at his last known addressvia certified mail. If I get the papers back unclaimed or undelivered can I file this along with asking for a default or do I have to go by publication? I cannot afford all these fees. I did get a deferral for the court fees but did not check for publication fees. Publication sounds like it is a hard and delaying process. I hear some saying I can file if I get the certified green card back as proof of service or even if the papers come back unclaimed. We have three kids and I am asking for sole custody.
  • If I marry, and I am on SSI & SS income, do I loose either one of them or do I retain the same amount that I have always recieved??
  • If a aparmentt manger enters your aparmentt without notice.and property is missing, what can I do about it legally?
  • Can my landlord tell me I am violating my rental agreement for something that is not on the agreement?
  • I am renting part of a unit where there are three other roommates. None of us knew each other. Landlord put us together as sudents. They party all the time. I cannot sleep or study. Can I get out of my lease. I cannot pay this rent and afford another place at the same time. If he serves eviction notice to all of us, do I still owe him the rent for the remainder of the lease. Other tenants are happy.
  • Our apartment has been flooded over 5 times in the last year and half. The management continues to tell us they are fixing the problem, yet nothing has changed and we continue to suffer. We feel they are neglecting the problem. What kind of legal action can we take?
  • I live in an apartment. If my a/c goes out and its not cooling How long dose the landlord have to fix it so that its cooling agian
  • If a person was with another before either of them turned 18 and stayed together after, is it legal? the person who is 18 is only 1 year and 15 days older. they had a baby and worried about putting the male on the birth certificate because they dont know if he can get in trouble or not.
  • My niece used drugs in the past, paid for her crimes with a jail time. Upon release she regained custody of her two boys. She cleaned up/turned her life around. She remarried and had a third child. Her mother having had the boys during her jail stay became too attached/ makes up complaints abuse even puts things in the boys. She speaks ill of my niece to the boys trying to make them resent their mother. The boys 5/7 want to be with their mom & brother. The grandmother claims abuse but only wants the two older children. She says she has grandparent rights forcing my niece to comply with her every wish. Does my niece have to let the grandmother continue to see the kids? It is causing the boys much confusion.
