QUESTIONS

  • My mom passed in 2014. I was on her checking account because she could not see well and I wrote her bills for her. Now the bank says I have to pay her line of credit, and they keep slapping late fees and interest on it every month. My only income is social security. Please tell me what to do and what can they do to hurt me? Thank you
  • I recently filed to relocate myself and my son to California. After his father and I could not agree on the move, the case was given to the judge for decision and it was declined. According to our parenting plan, neither parent is allowed to take the child out of state for vacation. My mom, whom has helped me raise my son since age 1, is wanting him to visit but without his dad's approval he is not able to go. Would my mom be able to file for grand parent's rights? And would this allow for him to be able to travel to California for vacation? All advice appreciated.
  • My husband is trying to adopted my son who was born out of wedlock. If the biological father has not made any attempts to establish parternity legally does he have parental rights? I have already informed the court who the father is and now the biological father does not want to consent to the adoption even though he has never made any attempts to be involved in my sons life or pay child support in the past 5 1/2 years (since Birth).
  • Can you end a lease early if the place you live is not safe? (gun shotting and domestic violence in the area) If you do end a lease early ..what is the fee there are allowed to charge you?
  • what is the policy on return and refund for purchase of used car. is there a time limit or contract / bank approval that would limit me from returning and getting refund of down payment
  • Is there a law that says that it is illegal to consent to sex if the person who is consenting is a minor? (Meaning, they are not old enough to make that decision)
  • I married a 16-Year Old female (I was 23) last year legally with proper parental consent. I was curious to know what my guardianship/consent rights are when it comes to my spouse being served legal paperwork or court orders by anyone, including myself. She was not emmancipated before our marriage, and I've had to legally be there to sign on her behalf for reasons such as school signup and notarizing items, so I know that I have some consent.
  • Ex husband and I have legal discussion making. I have weekends& school breaks. He has m-f, I live in Phoenix. Having difficulties with him not wanting to send me a picture and if he can have my son call me after the games/when they are not busy. He is claiming that it's too hard for him to do but was able to take a picture of his gf & post it online. Then he states that I can be involved by giving him money, this isn't court order. Not having too I already asked aug and july. What can I do to enforces this or talk to someone about his actions? He is consisting says his gf a better mom than me.
  • when a child turns 18 & has graduated but is a fulltime college student will the court even continue to require support for that child?
  • Can you please outline the steps necessary to acquire a birth certificate when one was never filed in 1980 when I was born? Thank you!
