QUESTIONS

  • My boyfriend owes almost $100,000 to the State of California. He is paying off the welfare that his ex wife was on. His paychecks are garnished and as of a few days ago his bank account was too. I was planning on joining the Navy in the spring and we wanted to get married. My question is: Will his child support debt transfer to me?Will they be able to garnish my wages and bank account? Will any of this be put on my credit score?
  • Am I legally required to return an engagement ring after the wedding has been called off?
  • My ex husband has now been incarcerated for the past 5 years. He has charges of domestic violence and aggravated domestic violence against me which happened in front of the kids. I currently have sole custody and he has not seen or spoken to the kids in at least 4 years. I would like to terminate his parental rights, is this a possibility?
  • I married a 16-Year Old female (I was 23) last year legally with proper parental consent. I was curious to know what my guardianship/consent rights are when it comes to my spouse being served legal paperwork or court orders by anyone, including myself. She was not emmancipated before our marriage, and I've had to legally be there to sign on her behalf for reasons such as school signup and notarizing items, so I know that I have some consent.
  • Can new manager file 24 hour immediate eviction for unpaid rent. I don't have proof rent paid.
  • When renting month-to-month after a regular one year lease in an apartment what is the amount of notice rquired by law in order to vacate without penalty.
  • I asked a friend to leave and gave them their portion of the rent back, they have been gone for over a week and still haven't came back for their stuff what should I do? The person does not seem to be making the attempt to get the stuff, she was not technically living here.
  • How long do i have to get an order of protection served once it has been filed?
  • I have several questions that need an answer as soon as possible. I am trying to go back home to New Mexico, my homestate, but under custody issues I can not leave the state with my son. If I leave the state I am considered "kidnapping" and I will be in contempt of court. My entire network is in New Mexico and I would love to take my son with me. What should I do? I desperately need to get out of AZ.
  • Where to I apply for unemployment benefits? I moved to Pinal County 4 monthas ago. Prior to that I was in Maricopa County for over 20 years?
