QUESTIONS

  • My divorce was settled on May 20, 2009. We have 50/50 custody of our 13 year old son. No child support was assigned because we both were working and made similar incomes. I lost my job on June 20, 2009 would I be able to get child support from my x-husband with the 50/50 custody until I find another job?
  • My daughter's biological father passed away 6 months after she was born. My husband of 4 years and I are expecting a child and he'd like to legally adopt my daughter and change her last name from my maiden name to my married name. What's required for this process? Are their forms for it? Thank you!
  • My husband recently passed away and I found out he took out a signature loan from a credit union. I'm not on the account, I had nothing to do with the loan, and my income was not part of the application process. Am I required to repay this loan?
  • If a judge has 60 days in which to rule on an under-advisement matter- are these days straight days or business days?
  • The ac went out in our house rental at 1:30am, so I had to get myself and two small children to a hotel. We ended up staying for two nights before the AC was repaired. The landlords said they won't/don't reimburse for the hotel. I'm confused because it says in the Tenant/Landlord act that money can be withheld from rent if substitute house has to be found if the rental is uninhabitable. I have receipts for the hotel and I took the amount off the rent & now the landlords are looking to either late fee or evict me. Can they do that?! I really scared as I have two small kids & no where to go.
  • I live in a Trailer park I own my home but I pay lot rent. The Park raises the lot rent $15.00 dollars every year. I heard they were gonna raise it like 200 dollars more this year. My question is can they do that.
  • What if my employer does not believe my reason for the leave?
  • I am currently going through a divorce, where there is no custody established, and am pregnant. I have been put on strict bedrest. I am trying to move to Nevada where I will have more help from my older children's father and be able to be on bedrest like I'm supposed to. Would I be able to file a petition for relocation with a minor, and temporarily move before the 60 days, without getting in trouble for it. And will it effect how they decide custody. Also, I have a PO against the other parent, and there has been domestic violence toward me and the children during our marriage.
  • Can my wife move with my children out of state? I have a career in Arizona. She has a recently acquired minimum wage job. We're divorcing and she wants to leave AZ.
  • Where do I find the forms to file to move my kids out of state (custody)
