QUESTIONS

  • My father passed away 1/16/2015. His is the only name on his home's deed. There is a reverse mortgage on the house and what is currently owed on the mortgage is more than the house is worth. My name is not on the deed and I don't plan on going to probate to get control of the house. The mortgage company is starting foreclosure. My question: is the estate, and me personally as the executor of the will, legally obligated maintain the homeowners insurance policy until the house is sold at the foreclosure auction which could take 1 to 2 years?
  • Three years ago, I put myself on child support because the mother of my child would not allow me to see our daughter. As part of the court order, the mother of my child claims our daughter on taxes for all even years while I claim our daughter for all odd years. Earlier this year, when I went to file my 2013 taxes, I was advised that someone had already claimed my daughter's social security number. What are my next best steps? And no, I have not yet filed my 2013 taxes and she has admitted to this crime. Can I take her to court? Should I file anyway and let the IRS catch her?
  • how do i find out about a will that my mother has. she has changed this will 3 times in the last 4 years. she has dementia and now she has her sister in charge of the will. she wont give us a copy of the will. can we get a copy of the will.

  • When is it NOT LEGAL to terminate an employee; i.e., what are the grounds for termination of employment that the law prohibits?
  • I am trying to file for full custody for my 2 year old son. He lives with me full time since my ex husband has moved out of state. Since he has left he has no paid child support either. My problem is that I don't know his address or where exactly he works. I feel like I should be able to ask him but he always dodges the questions. His family doesn't really like me and blames me for the divorce. I filed originally through pinal county. Do i have to file through them again?
  • I had let a friend stay in my house as a tenant at will without a lease. She has recently become incarcerated. What is the best way to do an eviction? I will continue to keep her things in storage until she gets out of jail and not charge for that. I'm not asking for back rent or anything, just that she moves.
