QUESTIONS

  • I have a 10 year old daughter that I have sole custody of- I never married her biological dad. I have since married and wanted to know if that would then make him a legal guardian of my daughter?
  • Our landlord has not complied with A.R.S 33-1321, we have done everything required by law this far. What form needs to be filled out to file a complaint with the Justice Courts?
  • After filing a "notice of claim" at the state attorney general's office, how much time does the state's attorney have to respond ?
  • If the water heater in the condo unit I rent has been faulty & running 24/7 causing the electric bill to be MUCH greater than it *should* be (once it was finally checked out & dealt with the hourly charges dropped by 80-90%) how should I proceed re:bills? $200-$300 for 900sqft 2bd1bth before but *now* once fixed it's ~$80. I began asking the owner in late June/July to have someone check this out as it was not accurate (he insisted the electric be in his name--leaving me unable to speak to/arrange anything without going through him), but he dragged his feet for months until now here we are.
  • I am 19 years old and I have a 13 year old sister. We have the same mother but different dads. Her dad is an alcoholic and our mom is homeless and uses drugs. I want to gain custody of my sister. My mom will probably fight me on this. How do I go about getting custody of my sister?
  • I received a request for paternity for my son we took the test i havnt received the results but the state has and now wheni took up my case it says they scheduled an establishment hearing what does that mean?
  • My landlord is evicting me because she says my son is valdalizing property in our complex. I believe this to be untrue and wish to dispute the eviction. How can I go about that? Also, does the landlord have to take me to court to seek eviction, if so I may then be able to state my case before a judge. Is this true? I have a witness to the charge of vandalism. Debra
  • Can a person not a resident of Arizona be my guardian or conservator?
  • Does an email exchange between landlord and tenant constitute an agreement to extend a lease or does there have to be a new lease signed for the additional time to be valid, or if no new lease then is it considered month to month?
  • how can I find out if an order of protection was served?
