  • How do I go about getting my rights reinstated? I served a 5 year prison sentence and was released in 1998.
  • I am currently expecting a baby. The father of my baby left me when I was 7 months, but has stated he wants to be in the baby's life. He is a habitual marijuana smoker, heavy drinker, and the people he surrounds himself with are not the kind of influences I want around my child. He moved in with his mom, who keeps a very dirty house and has been in and out of the hospital with MRSA for the last couple of years. I do not feel like he can provde a safe and stable environment for my daughter. He believes he will get joint custody. What actions do I need to take to ensure this does not happen?
  • I moved out of an apt without having a walk through but I took several pictures. Two weeks later I received a letter stating they were keeping my pet deposit and that I owed them an additional amount of money. I disagree with some of the charges they have. How can I dispute this and what is my time limit? They have given me 30 days to pay before sending to collections. Also, can the landlord charge for painting the interior? I even filled in any holes made from hanging pictures. Don't they have to paint anyway?
  • I got a 90-day notice to vacate the premises I have got one month left I have to be out the end of April and now with the stuff going around and the governor ordering you to stay at home do I have any rights to vacate the premises or what should I do
  • If I want to add my last name to birth certificate can I still do so ? Daughter is barely two weeks right now ! Is it to late ? How would I go about doing so ?
  • Is withholding sex to a husband and to deny to have sex again as long as we are married, grounds for a divorce in Arizona.
  • I am separated but still married. My husband is not paying his credit card debt and an atty has threatened to garnish MY wages and forced me to pay on his debt. He sent a notice to my employer seeking verification info which totally embarassed me and jeopardized my integrity. I have been paying him because I am intimidated. Is this legal?
  • I've lived in Arizona since February. My husband is in the military. I am now pregnant, & want a divorce. He is verbally abusive and has a strong temper. He just recently tried to commit suicide and was in the pyschiatric hospital. Can I get a divorce while pregnant? Or what about an anullment since he tried to kill himself? Thanks.
