QUESTIONS

  • To get a restraining order do you have to be physically abused?
  • I planned to utilize 12 weeks of FMLA for the birth and care of my baby. However, the doctor will only allow me 6-8 weeks and then considers me "fit to return to work". The pediatrician cannot give me an addition an excuse for the care of my baby - unless the baby is sick. Legally, can my employer require me to return to work when my doctor says that I am able? How can I extend my leave to 12 weeks?
  • I have been renting for almost 5 yrs. The rental came with appliances. The touch pad for the water and ice is cracked and the button is showing. Every one tells me it is wear and tear but the landlord wants me to replace it.It's $150 just for that part. By law, Do I have to or is it wear and tear?
  • I pay my rent and water sepratelly to my landlord- two different payments. My electric bell i pay to the electric company.Now does my landlord have the right to turn my ac off if late on rent,also if late on the water does he have the right to turn the water off and charge a late fee.
  • It's 7/31/2018 my lease ends 8/1/18 . I'm finishing up with the cleaning of the property and I just went to fill up a bucket and have no water. Can the owner have the water turned off if I'm still here? I'm worried about them trying to keep my deposit so I planned on staying here all day and cleaning but I can't do that without water.
  • Can i change the last name of my child from his biological fathers to mine, legally with out his consent if he is incarerated?
  • my wife separated from me 4 years ago. she took my son and my stepdaughter with her. I am wondering what rights I may have to see my son and if I have any rights to see my stepdaughter that I raised for five years.
  • August 2015 I called the agent complaining about a refrigerator and roof leaks then again and again, now may 2016 refrigerator goes out had to buy a used one, I want to get reimbursed this is an inconvenience for me need my money back.
  • I am trying to do a formal name change for my son. His biological father's rights were terminated july 2012. Do I still have to notify him of the name change?
  • When entering my apartment, does the landlord/mgr have to specify a date when they will enter or can they just say they will be in the week of, and come in anytime that week or month? I have a service dog and do not want anyone entering without my presence, but I cannot always be home 24/7 as they dont specify a date, which makes no sense to me as they could just say they are coming in sometime in 2018?? Please advise asap as they have not even given me a notice much less date and expect to come in within 3 days.
