QUESTIONS

  • Aunt was AZ resident and died in AZ. Using small estate affidavit to obtain balance in checking account from AZ bank (large national bank). I live in FL. If financial institution wants the affidavit certified by the court, would I have to appear in person or could it be done via mail? Thank you
  • My husband may have gotten another woman pregnant. I am the bread winner. What financial or legal responsibilities would I incur if it is my husband's child? Is there anything I can do to protect myself?
  • How long does it take for a divorce to finalize in that state os Arizona?
  • If our only income is my son's SSI check, can we still get cash assistance? I am a single mother of 3 boys with another on the way.
  • I am the only person on my lease. My ex girlfriend, her kid, her boyfriend, and their 2 kids( my ex's grandkids) managed to basically move in. None of them work, I want my home back. Can I simply call the sheriff to have them removed at any time because they are guests? What if they have mail in their name coming? Like I said before they don't pay anything.
  • If I am 16 & I have a child & I no longer live with my mother & father, I live on my own, can I apply for my own food stamps card or for cash assistance?
  • 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 seperated from my wife and I have custody of our children. Do I need her authority to take my kids out of state, to go on my vacations?
  • Our lease has no provision in regarding pest control and landlord being able to charge for pest control services if infestation is found. Our landlord is trying to do this to residents who are mostly SMI or disabled who only means is a monthly check and being on sec 8 or home inc. They don't understand they have rights and are afraid of being evicted as this is what they've been told. I know Residents whohave requested pest service and not received due to not being put on list for service and apts that have bug problems or infestations are being rented then tenants blamed for. What can we do
  • I live in a park they say it re park but 9 trailers are theirs and I rent one of them since the end of February and I've had an a/c and electrical problem since may and finally had to fix myself cause I had no a/c for 4 day frayed wiring and I deducted from rent now they threading me with eviction and charging me with vandalism and telling me landlord tenant laws don't apply to me one can they have me charged with vandalism and two do landlord tenant laws apply to me it's their trailer not mine
