QUESTIONS

  • Can a landlord dictate where a child sleeps? Saying a child over 2 “needs” their own bedroom. Not only is this nickel and diming parents to pay the extra rent for more rooms it feels extremely discriminating and invasive of parental rights. Telling me where my child can and can’t sleep, basically not allowing bedsharing or trying to get families with kids to move elsewhere cause they can’t afford adding another bedroom to their budget.
  • What is the process to get my ex girlfriend who has lived with me for 3 years evicted?
  • My recently ex wife charged me with domestic violence last year. She also had an order of protection against me. After many trials and no evidence the last trial she changed her story completely and lied about the incident completely. I have severely struggled all year trying to clear my name and going broke for supervised visits. Who do I talk to and what are my options?
  • The child support payments I pay are garnished through my employer. The monies are paid to a gov't clearing house agency in Phoenix. When I changed jobs and wages began garnishment (eventually) the amount that was garnished was incorrect. I didn't realize and had no part in setting up the garnishment. Now I am being sued for arrears. Who is responsible for submitting the correct garnishment calculations? The court order clearly states the monthly amount to be paid.
  • The house we are leasing has a converted garage that we were told is used as an office for the LL and he occasionally stays overnight when necessary. Although there is no mention of sharing the property in the lease, there is a small statement that the LL will pay $60 toward monthly rent for electricity. Isnt he liable for a share of all the utilities?Also, much if his behavior feels intrusive. What rights do we have re: Quiet Enjoyment?
  • I am at 0 earning potential, have 3 kids (1,4,7), the 2 oldest are from the marriage, the baby is from current relationship. my ex is taking me back to get the 0 earning potential changed.Day care for all my kids would be all of my paycheck! would they still change it like I am working when I am not? Do I need to put my boyfriends income and info on the paperwork? are there any adjustments since I had another baby?
  • can a grandparent with temorary sole and legal custody give the child to a foster home when there is a birth parent able and wanting to care for them? would the courts allow this? (the parent is in another state.)
  • I have 2 kids, ages 1 & 2. I have for the same company for 5 years. The father of my kids and I split up about 8 mos ago. Since the split we have shared custody. I drop the kids off before work (4 days a week w/his grandma watching them) and pick them up after work on 2 of the days, the other 2 they usually spend the night there. He has recently filed in court for joint custody and child support. He is unable to hold a steady job for more than a few months at a time. He also has a history of drug use and violence. Am I at risk of loosing custody due to work? Should I put my kids in daycare?
  • Does a landlord have to store my left over belongings after a fuve day eviction
  • I was arrested in Pima County for a domestic argument. No charges were filed. I also had a DUI arrest and served a week's jail time. Can these records be expunged, and can fingerprint records be removed?
