QUESTIONS

  • Can I get an order of protection against my husband for verbally and emotionally abusing me and our teen daughter? There is no act of physical violence, but there was a reported act if violence five years ago. Although I don't have any fears if him hurting us physically there is almost daily verbal abuse, yelling, name calling, etc.
  • if i was to be offered living allowances by my company while travelling but returned home could this be seen as an act of fraud
  • I am married but had a child with a boyfriend. Is the boyfriend obligated to pay child support even though I am considered married to someone else? My boyfriend signed the birth certificate.
  • can they charge me for the a/cthat they put on top of the house if it is there responsabilty as the landlord to provide a/c and heating
  • A mortgage company defrauded us, sold us on a refi from a 3.5% ARM to an 8% fixed before the industry crashed. Turns out the switched papers at the title company and put us back in an ARM with a pre-payment penalty. After Az Att Gen office sent a letter to them, did they finally modify our loan. 2 yrs later, I want to refi in to todays rates after no late payments and I am told since modified, never can refinance??? Also Att Gen office asked me to fill paperwork out for the settlement they reached with a Bank, I did, have heard nothing and the Bank says they will do nothing!
  • My daughters father just recently was just given sole legal decision making. Does this mean he has full custody over the child?
  • We refinanced our house to lower our monthly payments. The new mortgager is holding, what I feel is an excessive amount of escrow money. Are there limits or a percentage over the tax & insurance costs that they are allowed to hold?
  • I am the guardian of my 2 grandchildren (their mother is my oldest daughter) she had been in a domestic violence situation with the kids dad (he is in prison until July 2016) she lives with friends, no job, possible drugs. He does drugs and has a new girlfriend pregnant. I do not want either of them to obtain children EVER. What can I do to protect the kids and myself since Arizona tends to want to reunite children and parents. This is not a good idea with either of the biological parents. I love them to much to have them suffer. Guardian since 2010, they are age 9 and 6. suggestions?
  • My ex-husband's boss has been withholding money from his paychecks for child support, but is not sending in the payments to the clearinghouse. What can we do about this?
  • Once parental rights are severed can a parent petition the courts to get her rights back?
