QUESTIONS

  • How do I file for divorce when domestic violence is cause for the divorce?
  • 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 owe a debt to a creditor for medical expenses. The creditor has increased the debt by charging me a penalty for not paying on time. Is this legal? Are all late fees penalties?
  • Is the self-help booklet available in Spanish?
  • My divorce was settled on May 20, 2009. We have 50/50 custody of our 13 year old son. No child support was assigned because we both were working and made similar incomes. I lost my job on June 20, 2009 would I be able to get child support from my x-husband with the 50/50 custody until I find another job?
  • I would like to donate clothing for abused women but I am not aware the location to drop them off..
  • Can you add add the fathers name to the birth certificate if he is not present.
  • Can a younger person live with me in an age-restricted senior housing development?
  • My dad left when i was baby. He just came back into my life a year ago, my mom has custody of me. But this past year i have been emointally abused and have had a few situatons with being physically abused as well. This is causing my school work to drop, and i cant take living here anymore. I have tried to find a way to live with my dad until i graduate, but i would like to know if there is any legal way i can move out, so I can get my life together and finish school without any problems.
  • I have lived in a residence in Arizona since 2007. The lease expired in 2009 and by agreement with the owner was allowed to live without a lease and rent free since then. The owner is now trying to get me to sign a new lease or "evict" me. I have continuously maintained the residence and spent money out of pocket for upkeep including major purchases such as replacing the a/c unit, removing trees damaged by storms, painting, etc. Also paid back taxes for a year when the house was close to tax sale. What are my rights?
