QUESTIONS

  • 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 house we rent is in foreclosure. Are we obligated to stay in the house for the 90 days allowed or can we move as soon as we find a new place to live? Can the landlord hold us to the terms of the lease even though the house is in foreclosure now? Can he take us to court if we move out prior to the end of the lease?
  • My husband currently lives with me, and our 2 daughters. He has barely been paying anything toward bills and rent and recently there have been some domestic violence issues also. Can I file for child support even though he is currently living in my home?
  • I sold my 18-wheeler on a private deal (lease/purchase) and they buyer won't live up to his end of the deal. Not only that but the truck broke down about 3 weeks after we signed the agreement and it is going to cost approximately $20,000 to fix it. What legal recourse do I have?
  • does the parent paying for the insuranse for the child have to pay what ever the insurance does not cover
  • I was a stay-at-home mom for the majority of my marriage. During that time I accrued some student loans. In our separation agreement we each agreed to pay half of that, and any other, debt. A lawyer I spoke with stated that I am eligible for alimony (we were married 9 years and I stayed home for 6 of them), but my spouse takes great exception to this. He believes that since I did not contribute, monetarily, I should not be entitled to alimony. What should my expectations be?
  • If i get emancipated, could I get the child support check my father sends me and cash it myself?
  • i purchased a vehicle i signed a contract with 21% intrest on a car the bank lowered the interest rate to 18.5 but never drew up a new contract is this a legal contract or not
  • My daughter gandmother has one visit per month but i dont want to let her see her what happens if i jst dont take her anymore?
  • 500 of us live at a 55 plus Mobile Home Park on the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community and have received notice of the end of a 99 year lease being up 70 years early, Dose the State of Arizona controll what happens or is it under Federal Law because were located on the Reservation?
