QUESTIONS

  • If the biological father pay for childcare costs only, does that give him the right to claim our child on federal taxes? (we have no court orders established)
  • I have been told that is a mother and father of a child come to an agreement on custody, child support and other issues pertaining to the child that they can write it out sign it notarize it and it is legal and will hold up in court. Is this true?
  • Am I required to mail my rent each month out of state if my landlord lives out of town? If no additional guest policy is referenced in my rental agreement do I have to get permission for every overnight guest? My parents watched our child for a weekend while we were out of town. It seems unreasonable to require permission in this case.
  • My grandson lives in the back of my property. His friend leaves there drunk sometimes. If he gets into an accident am i liable
  • My girlfriend and I have two children together. I would like to gain custody of them since she has been experiencing mental health issues and cannot take care of the children.  I cannot afford a lawyer and have been told I cannot leave the state without her permission and was also told since the children's birth certificates establish I am the father and that they have my last name I can relocate with them. I can't get a straight answer !
  • I have a ten year maintenance agreement with XXXXX, Inc dated 4/22/2016, for a twice a year maintenance service on my air conditioner / furnace which they installed for my home. I paid $1600.00 for this service. (This comes to $80.00 per service) and I received five services. When the sixth service was due (April 2019) I called for an appointment and their phone is shut off. I called their offices in Tucson, Pheonix and Glendale, all their phones have been shut off and the Tucson office is locked. I can't find anyone and they still owe me $1200.00 and I don't know what to do.
  • My son is 18 and will graduate HS next spring. He has already been accepted to ASU west and will live at home since it is so close to the house. Can I have my ex continue to pay child support if he is in college and living at home?
  • How old do children have to be to decide what parent they want to live with? I have two children 15 1/2 and 12 1/2 I am relocating out of the state, we have joint custody I am the custodial parent the kids have always lived with me and wish to relocate with me. They have told there father this several times and he tells them that they are kids and they don't get to decide.
  • Hello! One of my friends who lives in a trailer park/mobile home is being forced to move since the new owner is essentially shutting the place down. Can he be compensated based on the fact that him and his family were going to be able to finally own their home in September of 2018?
  • Was just awarded child support for my 7 year old son. Would now like to file for payments for previous 3 years which I understand is as far back as law allows. Which forms do I need to file to achieve this?
