QUESTIONS

  • Can a judge grant tenants an extension of their lease if landlords refuse to renew a lease upon expiration, based on family hardship making it impossible for the tenant family to relocate?
  • I have a roommate at my house under month to month contract gave him 30day eviction notice. He is being bitter about it like making noises middle of night. Just making it hard for these last 30days. Is there a way to settle this and possibly have him move out earlier?
  • I am divorced and currently pay child support. My x was arrested for dui (metabolite) with our 15 year old in the car when it occurred. My x decided not to accept what tthe city offered to settle and decide to go to trial. Can I file for full custody and have child support paid to me if she is convicted? What is the process and how long does it take? Or can I have my child support obligation remove altogether?
  • We are senior citizens. A bank is offering us a home loan that we assumed was fixed interest-the rate dropped a fraction, even-then I happened to notice an unfamiliar phrase with a tiny checked box-'demand feature'. I looked it up: the bank can demand payment, calling the loan, at any time without giving a reason. It said that some states prohibit that practice. Is Arizona one? Calling the loan could destroy us and force the property into foreclosure.
  • My 22 year old daughter was arrested along with her boyfriend. They have a 2 year old child together. They were aressted for battery in the 3rd degree. My daughter spent 5 days in jail & the boyfriend spent 38 days in jail. With them being arrested, my grandchild how no where to go but with me. She is still with me & I don't know where the parents are. I have talked to my daughter a couple of times sense april. I asked her to give custody to me sense she Iis homeless & can not take care of her child. She refused. She did sign a notery so I could be able to take my grandaughter to the doctor
  • Does my spouse have to sign my petition for legal name change for me to go back to my maiden name? There are no divorce proceedings pending.
  • I have recently moved back to arizona,my husband resides in illinois and has filed for divorce. I was told i can't file any papers here to respond to what i was served, and i have no idea what to do or what is going on. Can someone please help me
  • My Park charged me a $5 per day late fee on unpaid late fees. Is this legal in Arizona? The park applies any payment made to the amount due, thus guaranteeing that any payment made that is less than the entire amount owed will be subject to late fees for the entire time additional money is owed. I believe there are laws preventing that practice for mortgages but I'm unsure about rentals or leases. Shouldn't payments first be applied toward the monthly rent or lease and then any additional payment be applied to late fees? And isn't it illegal to charge interest or fees on late fees?
  • who do i make the actual check im sending to the child support clearinghouse out to? my ex-wife? the clearinghouse itself? the court?
  • I Live with my boyfriend and the father of my baby. I am unhappy with the way things are going and want to move to New Mexico where my family is. My boyfriend says he is not going to let that happen. He is on the birth certificate. What are my legal rights if I leave.
