QUESTIONS

  • I want to enroll my little sisters in school, our mother is in Mexico but they won't let me enroll them. My sisters are u.s. citizens my mother is not. She gave me a power of attorney letter giving me right to take care of them. It was notorized in Mexico but they still won't let me enroll them. What do I need?
  • I have a person who lives on my property without lease. We started to have a relationship. It has now involved the police and domestic violence. The police will not arrest this person and I have called them several times after physical confritations they say his word against mine no witnesses. I want him gone evicted or something. I can't seem to stop the police from telling him that he has tenant rights. He has caused multiple damages to my house and my property outside. He has taken my keys and locked me out of my house etc. What do I do?
  • How does property get divided in AZ? In WI. automatically the spouse get half no matter whose name is on the house, car,boat,etc.?
  • Are there any resources that provide free or reduced cost defense for criminal misdemeanors in Phoenix? I cannot afford an attorney since I have been living pay check to pay check trying to pay off a $3000 title, but I do not qualify for a court appointed attorney ( bc state not seeking jail time) and do not qualify for any of the reduced/free legal aid programs on this site since without deducting bills I make about $2000 a month. Please help, as I do not want to defend myself at trial for criminal matters alone. It seems so unfair and unjust.
  • I paid my deposit to my landlord with 2 money orders. I have receipts from the landlord for both of them. The landlord "lost" one of the money orders. They are now asking me to pay them again for the lost one and for me to file the paperwork myself to see if I can get the money back from the company who issued the original money order. I feel that once it left my possession and they gave me a receipt that it is their responsibility. Can they penalize me for their mistake?
  • Can my employer withhold my final paycheck if I caused accidental damage on the job?
  • Can I call the police on my parents if they choose not to give me my birth certificate, social security number, clothes, and school things such as books? i left my house to be at my boyfriends and they are not giving me any of my stuff what do I do? how do I get it back?
  • I was my mother's caregiver since 2011. Mother passed in 2014, Mother left a beneficiary deed to me and brother. Brother has claimed the home and wants to evict me and my daughter.
  • My ex and I have joint custody and a set schedule. I’m paying child support and I have back pay. Now that our child will be going to school we both have decided that it’s in our child’s best interest if the schedule changes one week off and on. I would like to know If there’s something I can file to terminate child support but continue to pay backpay only?
  • Once documents have been served for paternity, child support and decision making to the respective party- is the Defendant responsible for returning those documents back to the Plantiff or the court?
