QUESTIONS

  • My ex wife and I have been divorced for 18 months and it involved two kids. Our divorce decree and final agreement is filed in Rogers County Oklahoma. I now live in Arizona and have since the separation in May of 05. This summer my son came to visit and he has been asking his mom if he could live here and she gave me written and verbal permission that he could and now he has been here for 3 months with the agreement that we would modify the final agreement and child support. He is enrolled in school and school activities and after school activities and is doing very well. She is now wanting him to come back to Oklahoma and I want to file documents to keep her from doing this........can I do it here in Arizona or does he have to be here for a certain amount of time? Where can I go to get more info on the net?
  • I'm 16 and have a 6 month old baby, could i apply for foodstamps?
  • We have received numerous noise complaints. We addressed the issue multiple times. It was determined that the flooring was poor and that the plumbing in our apartment was broken (causes a loud banging anytime water is turned on). Leasing staff entered our apt. without permission and stated they discovered these things. We thought they found the source of the noise and would figure out a solution. Yesterday we received another 10 day noise complaint. My roommates and I are afraid of eviction and we aren't sure what the next steps should be.
  • I just filed an Enforcement of visitation and now the other party is willing to grant me visitation. Since we are in total agreement how do I let the Judge know? It says on the document that if we come to a agreement we have to let the courts and judge know.
  • Does any one answer the questions posted. Have asked a question in 3 diff. categories since June and still no reply.
  • how old is a child before he or she can speak for themselves about who they want and don't want to visit
  • My mom and stepdad have a trust that was set up by their insurance broker. I am the trustee and the trust states that all assets are to be sold and split equally between the 6 children. This is a blended family. Do they need a will in addition to the trust?
  • Does a landlord need to have my social security number and drivers lisence.?
  • I am disabled and receiving food stamps (SNAP). I submitted a medical expense list with receipts. DES stated that they do not count dental or vision expenses (eye exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses, dental exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals) or prescription medications which are not paid for every month. They did not address the cost of medical transportation (gas to get to medical appointments). I believe that these expenses should be counted as they are out of pocket medical expenses, and the total should be divided by the number of months in the eligibility period. Help!
  • The father of my child left the relationship when i was three months pregnant. And he now lives in Missouri. I've recently been told by a friend that if custody is with both parents part-time that the father needs to live within 100 miles of the child. Otherwise his rights can be taken. Is this true?
