QUESTIONS

  • "When parents are unmarried and no order has been entered to establish parental rights, the biological father has no legal right to either custody or parenting time until paternity is established." I read this in a question on the website and I was wondering if the child has the fathers last name, does it still mean they have no legal rights until official paternity has been established?
  • Is it legal for a child to be inside of a strip club as long as their adult guardian is with them?
  • I received a 5 day pay or quit notice. I contacted the apartment complex and told them I was having financial difficulties and could only pay Decembers full amount, but not the prorated amount. Im active duty military, what can I do. They won't work with me, even when they have a program to split payments up. What are my options?
  • I live in TX. My daughter and her mother moved to AZ 2 years ago. I paid support and maintained telephonic contact. During this time, unknown to me, the mother became a heroine addict and gave temporary custody to the grandmother. When I was informed of the situation, I attempted to gain custody of my daughter and the grandmother, who worked for Pima Co. Superior Court, filed for permanent custody. With our court date set for Nov 4th and my plane and hotel paid, the court calls me and says they changed the date. Is that even legal with less than 24 hours notice? Do I have any recourse?
  • hi i'm a non us citizen been living in low income apartments for over 15 years with my children who are all usa citizens how ever my 2 oldest kids moved out and now only 3 of my children are with me one who has autism and 2 other young ones. my landlord now wants to kick me out because i have no papers i want to know what can i do to stop this please any help on information thank you.
  • Is there a form for community property assets?
  • My landlord told me they intend to sell the property I am renting because they cannot afford necessary repairs. I still have several months on my lease. All they have said is "lease agreements are broken all the time." Can they terminate my lease this early on? What are my rights in this case?
  • I am filling out the paper work "application to set aside a misdemeanor" and Im not sure if I have to get a notary for my signature at the bottom or if I leave that section blank for the court. It says "Subscribed and sworn before me on this date: by:" I am not sure who fills out this section which is followed by a notary. Please advise!
  • For the last 8 years I have been paying my landlord cash. I did fall a little behind and was making payments. I never kept track and now he says I am 6 months behind and gives a hand written payment sheet for the last 2 years. He wants about $7000.00 he never gives me receipts and wants cash. I have had to go buy all new appliances because when something breaks down he repairs them and they don't last. There is also a lot of problems (unsafe) we have told him about and he does not repair. Can he legally evict us or take us to court.
  • If the mother of my children and I came to an agreement at out first child support proceeding to a set amount and the both of us signed for it can she change it if i make her mad. WhIch is what she is threatening to do.
