QUESTIONS

  • Can the department of Corrections extend a parole date after the maximum sentence date, when there has been no violations? Can I file a motion to see a judge and have it clarified?
  • My son is 8 and his father has been in and out of his life we haven't seen or heard from him in about 7 months the longest time he has ignored our son has been a year-and-a-half he will randomly pop in and promise him a lot of things and when it's time to do for him he disappears . . . I married about 3 years ago and my son has asked many times for my husband to adopt him he even asked his Bio dad to please let him be adopted & of course he said no... can I claim abandonment? and how do I start the process?
  • My husband and I have been caring for his duaghter who is battling cancer. She now lives with us full time, visiting her mother every other weekend. Are we entitled to an adjustment on the support for the child? We take the child to and from 90% of her doctors appointments and chemo visits. When we used to have her every other weekend.
  • My roommate and I have been experience rodents for the past month. Together we removed two rats from our air vents and only the on-site maintenance was resolving the issue for 10 business days before the pest control came. They were to be inspecting once a week and after three weeks we would move to step two. They have not been coming to inspect and now we have rat mites. Our management is not bringing them in to irradiate this issue or clean our air vents. Can we break our lease?
  • If an intruder breaks into my apartment at night and I hurt him before I know if he is armed, can I be charged with assault or anything else?
  • We made out a will and had it noterized. It is in our safety deposit box. Does a copy of this will have to go to any city, county, state, lawyers, office? If so, which one? Thanks
  • I have grandparent visitation but the mother is not following them. The father (my son) is deceased. What can I do to make sure she follows them? Thank you.
  • I pay $600 a month for one child. not including airfare for visitation. I now have a new dependant soley depending on me and was denied a DES modification. I don't understand how the child support was not decreased? How should I go about to get the currrent child support modified?
  • I am renting to own a mobile home in a mobile home park, my propane line that runs my stove, hot water heater and furnace is leaking and i can smell propane through the house and outsied the house. my question is who is reponsible for repairing the propane line? the landlord says we are as tenents. Also, my furnace that provides heat does not work and has not worked in the whole 18 months I lived here and I have kids, he says it is my responsibility to fix.
  • I need to move for work. It's before the end of the lease. If I turn over keys and pay in full, can I demand security deposit returned? Landord is saying that I would still be responsible for the property...is this true?
