QUESTIONS

  • I am going through a custody case, full decision making and parenting time I am being awarded these things and the child at this age I understand can see her mother and visitation for the mother. I was paying 650 a month for child support and I do have a arrears of 54,000...I am wo.deri g how this monthly obligation is going to change I believe I pay 150 towards arrears am I going to have this child support dropped or reduced to provide for my child while she is living with me?
  • My son's biological father pays child support regularly (after being threatened with jail time by a judge) but is completely uninvolved in my son's life - hasn't seen him, talked to him, or asked about him for years. My current husband is an amazing father to my son. I have been researching legal guardianship to give some rights to my current husband since he is the one actively raising my son. What are the benefits/drawbacks to my current husband becoming a legal guardian? Would my ex be released from obligation to pay child support like he would be if my current husband adopted my son?
  • Divorce decree states my ex is to pay half of a credit card bill either in monthly payments or half of the balance. He is not paying me or the credit card company. The only payments he made were during the time we still lived together. I deducted his half of the payment from my half of the monthly bills. How can I get the court to enforce what is on the decree? Also, I no longer reside in the state of Arizona and do not have money for an attorney. Thank you.
  • WHAT COULD I DO IF I AM UNEMPLOYED AND THEY ARE STILL TAKING THE SAME AMOUNT OUT OF MY UNEMPLOYEMENT CHECKS?
  • if a child gets emancipated do you still have to pay child support
  • I Am 16 years old and i have a job at bojangles. My parents is in charge of my bank account so they have access to my money at will. When i get into trouble they empty out my bank account without me knowing and sometimes they dont even tell me. Is that legal for them to take my money that i have worked hard for.
  • my landlord gave me a notice to terminate my tenancy she says that i destroyed the outside which is not true and that i had illegal occupants living with me not true and that the inside of my house was unsafe and unhealthy also not true an inspector was at my house twice at the same time she is talking about they saw nothing wrong also a couple of months ago I asked the landlord to fix my air conditioning she failed to do so so I called section 8 they gave her thirty days to fix it she did on the last day of the thirty days so she told me Iin the phone that that's why she is really kicking me
  • My daughter lives in Northern AZ and had a child and lived with the father for 7 years. The relationship ended with the father filing custody papers with both parents having equal time with the child. He never has paid child support with my daughter never asking for it. He has been in several relationships with women married and divorced along with moving 10 times within 1 1/2 years. Long story short, my daughter has provided her with a stable home. He has hired a lawyer, she can't afford one. She has used legal aide but they won't go to the hearing. I'm worried she will loose wo/ a lawyer.
  • Oue lease is up in a couple of days, and the landlords and his family have been there for the past two updating the lawn. We were not notified that they were coming prior to their arrival. This has been an ongoing problem with them. They felt that as soon as they put the house on the market they can come whenever they choose. We have requested in writing that they give us notice , but in last two days they have not honored that . What are my rights?
  • When does back child support start when couples are still married but living in seperate households? And when money is given in that time period, does it count towards child support?
