QUESTIONS

  • I am helping my daughter, who lives out of state and has guardianship of her father, move him to an assisted living facility. He has diagnosed dementia and severe major depressive disorder. He now lives independently in an apartment. His primary care doctor feels it is no longer safe for him to live alone. Under Arizona law, is there a way she can terminate his lease early without paying all the penalties and the stipulated two months rent since his move is for health reasons?
  • Can a bank start a foreclosure while they are in the process of doing a modification for homeowner?
  • if i am the owner of the house do i have the right to live there when going to divorce
  • I am unmarried and 15 weeks pregnant. My ex fiancĂ© is denying paternity most because he does not want the military to know he is having a child because it will cancel his assignment he signed up for that requires no dependents. I would like to legally establish paternity so that when the baby comes I will be able to apply for child support since he will most likely be deployed. I have heard mixed answers on whether or not prenatal paternity tests are legally admissible to establish paternity in Arizona. The tests are very expensive, and before I pay I would like to know if I can use it
  • My ex's visitation is every other holiday break and half of the summer. He disappears for months at a time, last time being 4 months and he was in jail; he is also far behind on his support. He now wants to have them for the summer in TX. I have qualms about it because the last time he took them out of state, he didn't bring them home, I had to figure out a way to go get them. Additionally, the last time he had them here for their break, he had me pick them up after 6 days because he couldn't handle it. Can I legally deny him visitation out of state?
  • if i can not afford a lawyer to help with the procces can i have one appointed and if i can how do i request that?
  • How long does it take for you to receive your benefits if your case has been expedited?

  • Is it illegal for a landlord to evict a residential tenant who has not paid rent or electricity in over a year if the tenant could as a result of the eviction become homeless?

A week later dealer calls me and ask if could come in a sign some paperwork get there and he tells me that the bank didn't approve financing.
