QUESTIONS

  • My former wife lives in a home that has both our names on the deed. I have not lived there for over 40 years. Do I have any liability and if so how can I protect myself?
  • I was born in CA and started using my step-father's last name at approx. 8 years old. I never legally changed my last name but my military records, ssn, etc. all use my step-father's last name which I've used throughout my life. I'm now a resident of AZ. Can I legally change my name here to the name I'm already using for all forms of ID/records? I just want to ensure my birth cert matches all my other forms of ID. Thanks
  • My minor grandchild's parents are willing to sign paperwork for me to become the child's guardian. I want to make sure it is done right. Do I need an attorney or can I just have the parents sign forms obtained on the internet?
  • warrants for my arrest for unpaid traffic tickets through downtown justice and city of phoenix are preventing me from getting employment. I have already paid $1000's of dollars and been to jail three times for these same tickets. its a mess and i just finished my paralegal degree.
  • My neighbor is restoring his classic car. There is grinding and hammering. Can he be fined for doing this work in his garage making the grinding and pounding noise? I was told as long as he stops by 8pm its ok what is the truth on this. I can't hear it inside but can when in my backyard at the pool . This is in the 85032 zip
  • I would like to change my last name. What would be the first thing I would need to do?
  • We had flooding from recent storm. Walls got wet, carpet got wet, and light fixture not working. Landlord said let dry out and things will be fine. No repairs. Only cut open wall to worst leak and put a dryer in there. No one has come back. That 9/8/14. Today is 9/10/14. Should we give 5 or 10 day notice to fix? It now smells moldy in here, and I have to cook dinner in semi dark. Already frustrated because we have roaches! I have allergies and don't want to be exposed to them or to mold.
  • I live in an RV park where we own our park model. The owner of the park, without anything in writing, is saying “In order to sell any potential buyer must live in the park for 30 days first.” Is this legal? They are causing the sellers to lose buyers because of this unwritten rule. We’ve not been given prior notice or reason why they are doing this. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.
  • Can I assume custody of my two little brothers if I am in the military and if so how do I go about do it?
  • what forms to evict someone from my residence.
