QUESTIONS

  • I was arrested in Pima County for a domestic argument. No charges were filed. I also had a DUI arrest and served a week's jail time. Can these records be expunged, and can fingerprint records be removed?
  • If I was arrested for domestic violence, but my case was dismissed. Can the case be expunging?
  • My son was born in Arizona and we moved to Colorado. He has an AZ birth certificate. We have done a paternity test and have determined that the father listed is not correct. We have also had his last name changed. How do I get a birth certificate with his correct last name and father? 
  • If our only income is my son's SSI check, can we still get cash assistance? I am a single mother of 3 boys with another on the way.
  • My partner and i are ready to have children, a girl we know came to us with the news she was pregnant and did not know what she was going to do. After a while we mentioned adopting, she was hoping we would. She is 100% about us adopting her baby. Now how do we legally do this...also my partner and i are gay so only one of us will be able to legally adopt but we are just at a total loss of what to do, how to do it, and even if this is possible.
  • I am pregnant with my first child. the father wants nothing to do with they baby. I want to file for child support but do ihave to have the baby before i start to recieve the child support?
  • i had two class 6 undesignated possession of narcotic/paraphanelia charges in 2000 I completed my probation and just got my charges designated to a class one misdemeanor can I work in the medical field? I used to be a cna before that, my licence lapsed but was never taken away because of this that's why I am asking.
  • I had a job as a property manager which one of the perks was a free apartment. I was arrested off property for an non-work related reason. I spent four days in jail. The charges were later dropped. When I returned from jail, I was fired and locked out of my apartment. I believe it was wrongful termination, but that's another matter. My question is even though I was an employee, am I still not covered under the Arizona Landlord/Tenant Act? I think I should have had a 10 day Notice to Vacate.
  • My boyfriend and I (never married) had our son in TX and upon our agreeing to split decided to a three month rotation until he was old enough for school at which point I agreed to live where his father was so we could do one week on and one week off. I moved back to AZ and went to pick him up in TX after 3 months for my turn only to find out he moved from our house and is refusing me to tell him where he is unless I sign full custody to him. I calledthe police but in TX we both have 50/50 until a court were to say otherwise. Can I file for custody in AZ without him in my possesion?
  • Can I transfer stock from my name into my 12 year old grandson name as a gift
