QUESTIONS

  • I was married but separated at the time my ex got pregnant by another man. In the state of AZ the husband is presumed the father of any child conceived during wedlock. I am not the father but I also did not respond when child support was established because she told me that she was going to tell the court that I was not the father. My ex and I both know who the father is but she will not cooperate with getting a DNA test done what can I do?
  • I am a senior citizen and a 100% disabled veteran that needs assistance with a fraudulent agent that coerced me into losing over a $100,000 and need assistance in securing an attorney
  • I plead guilty to Disorderly Conduct DV in Mesa and have to attend 12 hours of Anger Management classes. I was planning on moving to Bullhead City but now I don't know if I can. Does it matter where I take these classes?
  • How long do i have to get an order of protection served once it has been filed?
  • Although I have guardianship of my young nephew and my wife and I have established ourselves as loco parents. My sister now is in custody of him. (she established herself as a stable loving capable mother) However she has moved in a boyfriend who has established himself as "Daddy" and is now refusing to allow my wife, me nor his maternal grandmother to visit with us. Do I have any enforcible visitation rights as his guardian?
  • can landlord dedact cost of carpet cleaning and paint use for painting inside the house from security deposit after tenant move out and left house in felthy condition
  • My home was forclosed on 2yrs ago after my real estate agent tried for 2 long years to short sale it.  Mortgager #1 denied all offers for the first 1.5yrs, while 2nd mortgager was agreeable.  Final offer was finally accepted by Mortgager #1 but 2nd mortgager completely blocked the sale by rejecting offer.  Now 2nd mortgager still sends me mortgage bills and calls me daily to try to collect this debt!  They also report my payment as LATE EVERY MONTH! Is there any way to get them to leave me be?  Do they have the legal right to harass me even though they are the reason I went through this foreclosure?
  • My child is almost 6 months old, the father left when I was 9 weeks pregnant and has never expressed interest in our child (not wanting to see our child, not asking questions about our child, and not helping with support). He is not on the birth certificate and we haven't done paternity and he had agreed to terminating his rights when my child was born. Can I get his rights severed based on abandonment? Do I have a good case for severing his rights?
  • My daughter has custody the grandchildren. She is a drug addict/alcoholic. She has struggled with her addictions for years and once again losing battle. The children's father is in the military, stationed in WA. How can he ask for custody?
  • My husband and I were married in 2010, I didn't change my last name then, but now I want to. On my marriage license/certificate my name doesn't have my husbands last name. How can I change my last name to my husbands?
