QUESTIONS

  • Am I allowed to take my children on vacation out of state or do I need to ask the court?
  • My husband is a state employee and while I gave birth to our son, he took FMLA for 5 weeks. When he returned to work he submitted our sons birth certificate and the HR representative told him we were denied because it had exceeded the 30 days to enroll him. Can they do this while on FMLA?
  • Trying to sell my mobile home in private rv park, landlord has taken 6 weeks in process of qualifying new tenant. Requiring all sorts of paperwork and credit card statements for past 2 years, new tenant proved high credit rating and no criminal background, finally he said he was thru and withdrew application which made sale of my mobile home cancelled. Meantime I have turned down a few buyers waiting this unreasonable amount of time for approval of a good reasonable buyer. How long is lawful to make a buyer wait for approval into a mobile home park. I fear this will never end.
  • I have been trying to go through the Department of Children's Services to get my ex wife (who lives in Alabama) to pay child support for almost 3 years now. Is there anything I can do through the legal system to finally get this resolved? Three years is an awfully long time to get a mother to pay child support when it took her a matter of weeks to get the court to issue an income withholding order on me when she was the custodial parent.
  • What can I do if I feel my 9 year old is not being properly cared for in the other parent's home that I currently share joint custody with? For example, most recently the other parent left our child at a nearby apartment complex pool with another 9 year old completely alone and unsupervised or accompanied by any other adult (the kids were the only ones there) for over an hour while the other parent allegedly walked to a gas station to purchase alcohol. My child also complains that the other parent is using drugs in front of him. Is this considered neglect and what are my options?
  • my child is 3. ex has never provided child support or medical help. even after being ordered to do so 12/09. ex is on/off drugs. rarely showed up to visitations. child and i have had orders of protections (expired 5/2011) against him for violence towards myself in past. many other acts of violence were made on his part, regrettably i never reported them. he is being investigated by cps involving another child who has been hurt. but no charges against him yet. it is an ongoing investigation. i fear dearly for my child's and my own safety. what are my chances of getting his rights removed?
  • do you need to post death of parent for creditors? there is some credit card debt do we need to pay from estate there is no cash available there will be minimal when home sales.
  • Does a landlord have to pay for sewer?
  • do you have to be licensed to be a 1099 independant contractor
  • We are renting a home and found black mold in the kitchen cabinets and drywall. Informed the property management co. through email with pictures. They had us in a hotel the next day. Mitigation done, ripped out drywall and cabinets. Mold was out, but they never showed up to do repairs to kitchen. We reached out several times asking when work would be done. They don't respond. We turned in letter from child's dr that says we need to be released from our lease due to my daughters asthma. They are releasing us end of April. What rights do we have since we pay full rent and repairs not done??
