QUESTIONS

  • My house foreclosed and was sold at auction on 4/4. On 4/5 I spoke with the new owner and he said he would give me until 4/12 to vacate. Today 4/9 I recieved a Forcible Detainer request form in the mail. DO I need to be out by today?
  • Are the small dance companies in AZ required by law to have their gymnastic spotters certified &/or have first aid certification?
  • Can the landlord charge the tenant for notices served to them?
  • The house is under contract "as is", delay in closing (1 month, then 3 more months due to divorce not yet finalized). Owner-to-be is paying rent month to month. Without permission or notice has rectified plumbing, tree, electric situations and now wants seller-to-be to pay expenses. Since it is under contract "as is", does seller-to-be have to pay anything?
  • The mother of my 3 year old child was killed in a car accident recently. Paternity was established at the hospital when my child was born . Up until her death we worked out custody, child support and parenting time without having to go through the courts. She had unofficial "custody", because my child was with her when she died, CPS investigated and informs me that since it appears that mother was the custodial parent, that I need to establish custody through the courts. Can someone make sense of why I would need to establish custody, per CPS
  • My landlord called me and told me he will be selling the home I am living in. He has not put that in writing. He said he gives me 2 months to move out. Do I have to continue to pay the rent while I am living there?
  • Two weeks ago I had a discussion with my landlord and his wife about being two weeks late on my rent and would need to pay it on the 14th of November. They were kind and said that would be fine and to come in around rent time to fill out a promissory note. During that time and now his (the landlord's) wife left him because he was very abusive. Now Sunday Nov 2nd I went in to fill out the contract to pay on the 14th and the landlord said he was evicting anyone who had anything to do with her. What can I do I am a single dad with no family in AZ.
  • My boyfriend is 18 and was arrested yesterday for level 2 burglary,battery and Theft . he has never been in trouble. I am really scared. I dont want him to go stay in jail . what do you think will happen?
  • I am wondering if I am allowed to keep a gun in my house, in a locked, coded, safe with backup keys while living with my husband who is a felon. I have my gun rights but he does not. What happens if he gets in trouble, can he get a prohibited possessor charge even though the gun isn't his and he technically doesn't have access to it?
  • Today I got my food stamp EBT card in the mail and called to activate it. Well, I gave them my social security number and made up my pin number like they asked me to and then it comes to the part where they tell me what my balance is. Well it said I have no current balance at this moment. I was just wondering why I don't have a balance when everyone I know that has or has had food stamps before is telling me that there should be money on there when I activate it?
