QUESTIONS

  • I am engaged to be married to the love on my life. She previously had a baby with a man before we met who I absolutely adore and consider her to be my own. His name is not on the birth certificate and he has been absent for the greater majority of her life. There is a child support order but nothing else. Is there any way I could adopt her or get parental rights of her?
  • Is it illegal for me to use my Moms food stamp card while she is incarcerated?

  • Does my landlord have the right to evict me for holding back rent for maintenance issues?
  • Our heater works but does not provide airflow to the bottom story of our apartment.Twice, we asked the apartment manager directly to make repairs but repairs were never made. On Monday, we sent written notice of intent to terminate lease per ARS 33-1361(A). The apartment manager told me on Monday that someone would be over Tuesday to take a look at our unit but, again, they never showed up. Do I have grounds to terminate on Saturday if nothing is done? The term "reasonable heat" seems arbitrary and I want to make sure I have legitimate grounds for terminating my lease.
  • My wife has a friend she's working for about 15 years. They talk a lot after everyone leaves the office the day. About 5 months ago the woman broke down and told my wife her husband has been beating her for 20 yrs she showed my wife several bruises her stomach and told my she's afraid leave because her husband said he will kill her. I know this is how abusers keep their spouses aroun. Is there some place I can find statistics on how many abusers say this and how many actually carry it out? Also if she went the police and the courts the day he hit her and showed the bruises would he be arrested
