QUESTIONS

  • My son is 2 and a half years old. His biological father is around but hasn't had communication with my son for a while now. He never supported me financially and has been incarcerated more dan 2 times. He also has a deportation order. Do I still need his consent to remove his last name and my fiancĂ© adopte him?
  • My wife and I are being threatened with a grandparents rights suit I've have looked up many different things to see if my mother can even file our son was born less then a month before we were married which we did not intend to have happen but you don't control when the baby comes can she file anything
  • Hello, I recently moved out on Aug 26 2016 of a rental property managed by a property management company. On the 14th business day I was sent an estimated security deposit itemized list. When am I supposed to get the final one? Owner of house doing a complete remodel and could be months before she's done. Am I supposed to wait that long to hear back? Also, what is the lifetime of a carpet? Their trying to charge me for cleaning when carpet is 20 years old and we lived there for 5 years.
  • I filed in Globe county for Establish Legal decision making, she filed a response there, but I learned tonight that she moved to Maricopa County. How does this affect the case? Do I need to re-file in Maricopa County?
  • If I feel I earned more than I was paid, is there a government organization I can call to confirm that?
  • I am pursuing custody of my 9 year old son and was told I should try and get a Guardian ad litem but I can't find anything about what is required to request one, or what guidelines the court follows in granting one. What do I need to do this?
  • I was served with a writ of restitution by my landlord, i currently own the mobile home and i was asked to leave within 5 days, but i own the mobile home so my question is what happends to my m.h after i leave, i was given the option to remove or sell it. Can i return if i have buyers interested in buying it or do the landlords automatically keep it?
  • Hello my son is 3 years old. A year ago hisfather left we chose to be civil and not go to court. I am now going into the airforce and letting his father and my family care for him. I am scared his father will keep him instead of sticking to the plan we made. Can I give temporary guardianship to someone I trust?
  • I have 2 investment homes in AZ and my primary home in CA where I live. Short sale is not an option for me b/c I don't qualify because I have assets. My question is if I foreclose on the 2 investment homes will the lenders put liens on my primary home that has about $200k in equity? Or do I just have poor credit for 7 years?
  • I moved in to a rental in a vacation village in October before the cold weather hit. I signed a year lease with a property manager. The home is so poorly insulated that it cannot maintain heat. The cold air seeps through the floors and walls and I cannot keep warm. The electric is constantly running and it is costing me over 200.00 per month to heat 389 sq. ft. I also have health issues that are exacerbated by the cold. I do not feel this home is meant to be a full time residence. For health reasons, I cannot stay here. Do I have recourse to break my lease?
