QUESTIONS

  • I was convicted of a felony in 1994. This conviction was set aside in 1996. Can an apartment still refuse me because they say I have a felony conviction? I try to explain that the conviction was set aside, but they still will not rent to me. Is that legal, and do I have any recourse?
  • My son's father and I have never been married. We have never filed anything through the courts. therefore, it has been my understanding that I am the custodial parent. What are his father's rights in this situation? His name is on the birth certificate, does that legally establish paternity?
  • Have been divorced 10.5 years and have sent my 2 kids to a private school. Divorce decree stipulated he would help 50% with tuition which he has not done until 2007-2008 school year. He refused prior years to help. I provided schedule of tuition from 1999-2006. Total amount due to me is $8200. I cannot afford attorney. Can I place lien for unpaid tuition on new home purchased with new wife?
  • I foreclosed on a property in ohio, can the creditor garnish my wages if i now reside in arizona?
  • My ex husband is requesting copies of medical records through our PC. The PC stated that he will write a letter to the court requesting the information. Is this a HIPAA violation? Can I prevent my ex husband from receiving this confidential information? Are my rights not protected now that we are not married?
  • Can you provide me with the laws regarding motel living for an extended period of time.
  • My husband wants to adopt my 4 year old daughter who's father abandoned her from day 1. Is there a way to have her biological father ordered to pay back child support for the 4 years and to be able to terminate his rights so my husband can adopt her? Or will I only be able to do the termination and adoption?
  • I am being evicted from my home and have court tomorrow, I wont be able to make it to court, and I understand that I will have a judgement placed against me. I have no reason to fight it because i am behind on rent. My question is, how soon after the judgement is made can money be taken from me. I am willing to pay the landlord and make payments but my husband is currently in the hospital recovering from a heart attack and the little bit of money i have in my account has to go towards medication.
  • I alerted maintenance a problem in my apartment which turned out to be a broken water heater under my floor. They are now forcing me to move to another apartment within 24 hours and will not pay for any moving costs. Is that legal?
  • My girlfriend and I have a lease on a house until June 2020. Things have broken down with us. She wants to move out and stick me with the lease. We are both signers on the lease and they used both our credit and income to get the house. We have been here since 2016. And re-upped a 2 year lease June of last year. I do not want to move, BUT I do not want to get stuck paying the entire $1700/mo. Please let me know what I can do not to get screwed over by her.
