QUESTIONS

  • What if I've been to prison and while I was there, my son's father took me to court and got sole legal custody, and since then has dumped my son off on his family (3 years) and has left the state? Do I have any right to do anything? He does not support our son in anyway.
  • I know someone who was brought to the United States illegally by her parents over 14 years ago. I would like to see if I can help. Is there anyone out there that can tell me whether or not she is eligible to get her papers and if so who I can contact for further information. Thanks in advance.
  • I have a friend who wants DNA done on a child. He has already been ordered topay child ssupport. Plus he wants to sign his rights of all 3 kids over to the mother. She has a restraining order against him and has had him arrested before for domestic violence. He doesn't want to keep going to jail because she wants to take away everything he has. Can he sign his rights over?
  • I live in an apartment complex. There has been several falls due to uneven sidewalks, the last one resulting in a broken ankle. We are now being required to purchase personal injury insurance. Otherwise they will charge us $35 per month until we do. Can they do this? My lease is good until June.
  • I have lived as a tenant for the past 3 years and every year a major appliance breaks, first it was the microwave, then the stove/oven, and now the refrigerator. Each repair takes over 2 months. My refrigerator broke on 7/23 and it is still not fixed! Can I pro-rate my rent for the days without a working refrigerator? Our food has gone bad and it is still not repaired! So frustrated!
  • In Phoenix do the park managers have to live on site, in parks where you own the home but not the land and they have a park office?
  • I recognize that AZ restrictions raised legal age to buy tobacco to 21 but does this include pipes and water pipes?
  • The property owner wants to charge me HOA fees for grounds maintenance. I am a tenant in an apartment complex. When questioned, they said they could do this according to Arizona General Provisions 33-1314 and 33-1314.01. I think this addresses utilities, water and separate meters, not HOA dues. I also will not have access to CC&R's, or be able to have a seat on the board or see the financials, because (in their words) I am not an owner. Can you let me know if they can in fact charge me HOA dues?
  • does the fathers name have to be on the birth certificate
  • my sons mother and i were never married and paternity has not been established. support and visitation have been by a "gentlemans" agreeement. recently however his mother has become unresponsive, threatened to leave the state and used that threat to "blackmail" me for 2,000 dollars for her unpaid rent. i love my son a great deal and would like to both prevent her leaving w/ him and obtain custody. please advise on the expeditious way to accomplish this. thanks for your help...
