QUESTIONS

  • Im trying to get custody of my nephew whom we've had the majority of his 4 years. My sister is bad on drugs and does not want to let him go even tho we have 20days out of 30. He calls me mom my husband dad and our 2 kids are his brother and sister. How and where do I begin to start this custody battle?
  • I recently found out that I am the bio-logical father of a 14 year old daughter who has been adopted. I never knew until June 2011 that I was this child’s father. What rights do I have since this was done without my knowledge? This was actually done in Colorado but I reside in Arizona. I do not want to up-root my child from her adoptive family as she has been with them for 6 years but I would like to met her and let her know that I did not abandon her and I am here for her if she wants to get to know me.

He moved to AZ to find a job 2 months ago and he is looking forward to going back to school to become a paralegal. Will he be able to become a paralegal and he can he become a lawyer?

  • Someone posted a no trespassing sign ARS 13-1502-A1 on some idle land my neighbors and I have traditionally use for access to county trails. It is suspect. How can I tell if this is a legitimate sign, or if someone just bought it off the internet to scare his neighbors away? (same party strung cable accross a common access road in June and injured a bicyclist) . thx!
