QUESTIONS

  • Is there a waiting period after the Judge grants the divorce?
  • My question is the father of my child wasn't there when we signed the birth certificate so my daughter doesn't have his last name. How can I add him to the birth certificate and add his last name to my daughter?
  • Is it possible to become a guardian for a 19-year-old in Arizona? And if so, under what circumstances? Thank you!
  • My lease is expiring on May 23, 2020. I signed a notice to vacate, but my roommate refuses to sign. My landlord has initiated a month to month lease and is telling me that I am responsible for the rent until both of us sign the order. I cannot control what my roommate does. Am I legally bound to this person? Can they force me into a month to month lease, and make me stay when I want to move?
  • I HAVE PRIMARY CUSTODY OF MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. MY EX WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN DIVORCED FOR 21/2 YEARS NOW AND SHE HAS NEVER PAID CHILD SUPPORT. SHE HASNT WORKED SO I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GARNISH HER. NOW SHE IS GETTING A JOB AND WANTS TO AVOID THE GARNISHMENT BY SIGNING OVER HER RIGHTS. CAN SHE GET AWAY WITH THIS? IS THERE A LOOP HOLE BECAUSE SHE IS LEGALLY DIAGNOSED WITH BIPOLAR MANIA?
  • My husband and I are on food stamps. My husband had a stroke and is the main recipient. I want to quit getting them for myself. Will my husband still be able to get them? We have two fridges and I can keep our food separated. Thank you.
  • When entering my apartment, does the landlord/mgr have to specify a date when they will enter or can they just say they will be in the week of, and come in anytime that week or month? I have a service dog and do not want anyone entering without my presence, but I cannot always be home 24/7 as they dont specify a date, which makes no sense to me as they could just say they are coming in sometime in 2018?? Please advise asap as they have not even given me a notice much less date and expect to come in within 3 days.
  • I filed an order of protection against my biyfriend. His lawyer had it sealed. Can I get a copy and give it to another person ?
  • I moved in the 4th of July weekend, signing a 1 year lease, which will convert to month-to-month after the 1st year. On 12/31/15 I received a notice that they were raising my "tax" amount effective 2/1/16 - is this legal? And once the lease becomes month-to-month and you agree to a rental amount increase (which is sure to come), do you legally have to sign the agreement which is the same format as a "1 year" lease? Is it also possible to receive a copy of the "Landlord/Tenant Handbook"?
  • My husband filed for a divorce.  Do I have to file a response or can I just let it default after the 20 days if I agree with everything on the paperwork I was given in regards to the property he wants?
