QUESTIONS

  • My husband was laid off work back in September and relocated to NM to start a business, which has proven successful. I will be seeking employment there as well, and gave notice to my current employer that my final day of work will be 12/4/09. I will be self-employed and working as a substitute teacher until I find a job in NM. How do I request a modification to my current support amount as I will experience a significant loss of income? How do you create a new parenting worksheet when you don't know how much your monthly income will be? What steps do I need to take to start this process?
  • What are the charges for furnishing alcohol to minors who were arrested for being intoxicated under age in Lake Havasu AZ?
  • My ex-wife and I have joint physical and legal custody of our two children. I carry their health insurance, by court order. My ex-wife has issues with our son at home, which we do not experience in our home. He has anger and agression issues, and is now acting out at school. She took him to a therpist who recommened he be medicated, and she wants him medicated as well. I do not support this, but she said I do not have a say in the situation. She will not provide me with the name of the doctor or drug. Can I file something with the court to keep my son from taking the medicine?
  • Is my apartment company responsible for providing me a fire extinguisher?
  • I was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct over a year ago. At the time I was threatened by the size of the male standing over and blocking me although he did not verbally say he was going to hurt me. I have a settlement conference soon and my lawyer has said that a plea will necessarily include at least a year of jail time and I would not get off for self-defense if this goes to trial since he did not verbally threaten me. I am pregnant and due to deliver before the settlement conference. Does this plea offer seem reasonable?

Please advise. Thanks.
