QUESTIONS

  • Is there a way to find out if I'm filling out my Petition For Modification Of Legal Decision-Making and Parenting Time Form 23 paperwork correctly. My Girlfriend is trying to change custody agreement due to her ex-husbands drug use and issues with the police. He only calls when he wants something from her and its not to see his daughter. He gets high and calls in the middle of the night but never speaks. What can we do to keep him away from her, he can not be trusted by anyone including the police.
  • My husband got a divorce in AZ to his ex. She remarried military so they move quite often. The youngest child (both in mothers care) is now living in a different state than her mother and is not emancipated or 18 yet. She is either living with her step-dad (against divorce agreement) or own her own. What steps need to be taken to enforce mother's responsibilty of child custody? Dad has custodial custody currently but the child went to live with her mother due to domestic violence towards me. Mom is in WI and child is in NC. Any help would be greatly appreciated to straighten out this issue.
  • My child was born in California, but now we live in Arizona. My wife and I are in agreement on changing her name. My question is that, can I go through the Arizona courts to change her name. Or do I have to file all the paperwork through California courts.
  • my son just turned 18 five months ago, he is currently in the county jail for his very first time with 4 serious criminal felony charges. 1st degree burglary, theft-control property, conspiracy and kidnap. I know my son is innocent.. He met a girl age 17, just four days prior to be arrested, the girl left her backpack in her friends truck, and that is how my son got into this mess. by going with this girl to get her backpack, if the owner of the truck robbed a house right before picking up the girl and my son who knew nothing of the incident, can my son go to prison for these 4 charges??? How serious are these charges?? he was literally, in the wrong place and the wrong time, he was offered a ride from phoenix to mesa and he accepted the ride so he didn't have to take the bus...Please help me
  • I was late on October rent and the owners agreed to give me extra time to pay, until they learned I was in a bad car accident last week. Now they are saying to pay by tomorrow or they will proceed with an eviction. I am scared to death. My back is broken. The accident was the other drivers fault and I already have a lawyer working on it. Can I get a protective order to grant me extra time to pay rent?
  • I am a father who has custody of my two children and live in Massachusetts, The mother of my children lives in Arizona and has been claiming the chidren and still is trying to collect child support. Who do I contact to resolve child support orders and show proff I have had the children since 2007
  • My step-son was arrested by Phoenix PD on 2 counts of agg. assalt w/deadly weapon. He was protecting his mother from a drunk neighbor who was about to beat his mother up at their front door. He had picked up his rifle and had it in his left hand when he open ed the door to get his mother inside their apartment and away from the drunk. My question is why was he even charged? As an ex-law enforcement officer I would see this a self-defense. The state is now wanting to give him up 25yrs per count. Is there any case histories that a ruling would apply this case to self-defense.

  • My lease for the condo I rent expires 07/31/10. if I move out in June, but still pay June and July's rent, am I considered abandoning the property? Do I need to let the landlord know I am moving out?
  • We signed a 2 yr extended lease with the original property mngmnt. Since the extension, they have sold the property. The new mngmnt is not responsive to repairs. My dishwasher has now been out for 3 weeks, & they say that's the best they can do. Also, a barrier wall is breaking due to our neighbors tree and cynder blocks are falling into our yard. We have 2 dogs and 2 children I am afraid will get hurt. I have the area blocked off, and the mngmnt says they cannot fix this. I am at my wits end and am not sure what steps I need to take to either demand repairs or terminate th lease.
