QUESTIONS

  • I have a 5 month old son, the dad hasn't help out financially at all, there is an ongoing case in court for custody and child support. Will I be entitled for back child support for the past few months he hasn't paid for anything?
  • My husband filed for divorce in Maricopa county, we live in Pinal county. Is it possible to have his case dismissed because of this?
  • I purchased a condo in October 2019. My inspection identified several repairs needed. I was assured those were the responsibility of the HOA. What was not disclosed is that in November there would be a vote on a Special Assessment, which passed, and now I have a bill for $4800. The seller had been made aware of this for months, but never gave me that information during our negotiations. Do I have any recourse for the seller to be responsible for all or part of this special assessment since it was not disclosed on the statements provided to me?
  • unfortunately I have a slum lord!he does not provide any source of heat,and its cold as hell,we bought two small space heaters and can only use 1 at a time cuz it trips the main breaker,and often cant even use 1 it still trips ,we have to wait 15 min to flip back on because its so hot,also the bar looks like its melting some its blackened and some of the plastic is melted,I fear we are near to have a fire,can we hold off rent to make him fix this or not?this guy charges 50 in late fee on 5th an add 90on 9th and ten a day there after once we paid on 13 and late fee was 285,rent is 680,wtf
  • I didn't pay rent this month due to the landlord not fixing anything within the last six months. I decided to move since they are not fixing anything. Can the landlord lock my possesions in the house or do they have to give me a notice first?
  • We are senior citizens. A bank is offering us a home loan that we assumed was fixed interest-the rate dropped a fraction, even-then I happened to notice an unfamiliar phrase with a tiny checked box-'demand feature'. I looked it up: the bank can demand payment, calling the loan, at any time without giving a reason. It said that some states prohibit that practice. Is Arizona one? Calling the loan could destroy us and force the property into foreclosure.
  • About a judgement against me and can't afford to pay.
  • I signed a contract in mid april to have my kitchen remodeled. I gave the contractor a down payment for the future job. They had their license suspended two days later and can not do any work until it is renewed. Now the company has changed names and license numbers. Is my contract with them void? Can I get my down payment back. No work has been done. The company will not return my calls. Should I file in small claims court?
  • My wife left the state, and we have since filed for divorce. She has made no attempt to ask for the property she left behing. She has retained a lawyer in our state. Can I leave her belongings at the lawyers office?
  • When a spouse passes away and has debt in his/her name only, like credit cards, and or contractual obligations for satellite services or cell phone service that charge fee for early termination, etc.- is the remaining spouse responsble for that debt and fulfilling contractual obligation?
