QUESTIONS

  • Can I leave the county with my daughter if I am trying to better my life by getting out of a violent marriage that I am divorcing from anyway?

  • My ex husband has filed for a modification of C.S. because he has had another child. He lives with his girlfriends family but failed to list them on petition as others who have an income in the household. He listed only his gf who is unemployed and takes care of their newborn.

Can my ex be denied a modification for withholding of information relating to financial status of their household?Do I Have the right to ask for proof in receipts of childcare he is claiming to pay? Do I need a lawyer?
  • My boyfriend and I have been together since mid 2005. He recently purchased a home in only his name. We are planning on getting married in april of next year. After marriage do I automatically become co- ownr? If we do not get married how long will it take for me to be considered co- owner without him actually havng to add my name to the title?
  • If you have a lease, and you have had non stop roof leaks from the rain storms. Black mold growing in the ceiling. Constant requests to get them fixed have not stopped the leaking. Landlord says the lease can be broke after Dec. can he keep my deposit if we decide to take our baby and move out early?
  • I was charged with an OUI. My first offense of any crime. I blew a .179, can I qualify for work release?
  • I did not file for divorce and custody rights yet but if I will, is there any possibility that I could have the sole custody of my child? My husband has a history of domestic violence, extreme dui and issue from his ex-wife's son. I have a restraining order for him which was not served to him yet  because I do not know where he's at now. Can I still divorce him even if I do not know the address? And get divorced too?
  • I went to a lawyer for my divorce. He quoted "about $1500.00, maybe a little more." Due to mistakes his people made the divorce took about 8 months. He is now billing me for over $10,000.00. There was no fighting between my former spouse and me, at all. He will not tell my why the cost is more than six times the original amount, and he is now adding interest of 18%.
  • Is it required by Arizona state law that a home must have a working cooling system if it is being rented? Also is it requires that a landlord must have a full septic tank pumped before renting a home out?
  • Does a 20ft x 20ft area of sand filled with animal waste that is potent enough to be smelled 100 ft away count as a violation of implied warranty of habitability? The lease we signed said that we were responsible for the yard after 30 days but the smell is so strong we couldn't figure out where it was coming from until a few days after that time frame.
