QUESTIONS

  • I have 50/50 custody w my son who is 13 but he wants to live full time w me. How do I go about requesting the change? I know my son will run away if he's forced to be at his dads house. Please advise, I am extremely worried.
  • In order for me to qualify for AZDES nutrition assistance profile I was bluntly told to give up my bonding license and all certification’s which ending up leaving me unable to perform my occupation. I lost my home and all my belongings and I am now in a homeless shelter case # 01397151 do that have that authority?
  • Do you have to have a legal advisor to file a motion for a new trial?
  • i'm a single parent of two kids, my ex husband has custody of another child in arizona. at the time that he filed child support, i was only making a little over 25,000 a year but the judge awarded him $500 a month. I was wondering how did they come up with that figure, when it's obvious that i can't afford that? And is it possible to get modification on support that i'm in arrears with?
  • Can I be evicted or forced to move to another apartment for complaining to management about a roommate, who is on a separate lease, who daily raises the volume on her audio device in her bedroom to a level that I can hear it in my bedroom, with both bedroom doors closed, and where I cannot be on the telephone because the other party cannot hear me over her music?
  • My ex girlfriend and I have a 2 year old son. We were never married. Shortly after we broke up she started seeing a convicted pedophile..she was taking my son to see him in the prison without me knowing. Now she lives in another town about 3 hours away from me and again didn't tell me. And she was also supposed to let the court know when she found herself a job, she never notified the court and she also never told them she was moving. With the fact that she moved and has my son around a pedophile, do I have enough evidence to show why I should get sole custody of my child?
  • I filed for ch. 7 bankruptcy and my debts were discharged on June 2011. To this date I'm badly behind on my house payments, and my lender offers me a reduced monthly payment of $350. The problem is that my lender does not want to make any promises in writing and does not give me straight answers on what happens if I keep my end of the deal. I'm affraid my lender will simply foreclose when it may fit its interest, disregard of my needs. Also, it is wise to enter into any deals post bankruptcy if my debts are discharded already and thus, uncollectable? Thanks!
  • Our lease currently expired on Oct 25th. 6 months ago, we reached out to see what the landlords intention was. After pleading with the owner, he agreed to renew and negotiated a rent price. Now, 2 weeks ago, we were sent an email with the owners intent to sell. We reminding them of the previous conversation and was told again, that the owner was going to honor his word and renew and talked about rent price. And just today we received an email that the owner will 100% be selling. Do we have any recourse since it was clear of his intent to renew?
  • My friend was issued a trespass ticket for being at a light rail station without a bus pass/ticket. The train was nowhere near the station & he had ample time to buy a ticket before the train arrived. Is this legal?
  • Hi! I am one of the very lucky people to be granted a new trial. There was an error at trial and the judge ordered a new trial. My question is what happens at a retrial? Is it the same testimony from the first trial or can the victims change their story? For example, the victim admitted hitting me first during the first trial. Can he change that or does testimony have to be the same? I need to know this to help make a decision regarding accepting a plea offer. My attorney is unsure.
