QUESTIONS

  • My lease said nothing about breaking it so when I did my landlord said she was keeping my sec deposit. Can she do that by law if the lease said nothing about breaking it?
  • My girlfriend and I are having a baby in September. will as the father have equal rights with out having to pay child support even if we are not and are not going to get married? will I be able to have equal rights with out being married to her?
  • what if the father is not on the birth cert. Will i still need to get his consent to change my sons last name?
  • I have lived on a property for five years and there are new property mgmt who have stopped landscaping, raised rent, didn’t do a walkthrough. Only communicate via email/text. My AC has been out two days and nobody has contacted me to come fix it and when I messaged the company they’re rude.
  • When I got my divorce I did not indicate that I would be taking back my maiden name. Shortly after, I just started using it. Thirty-two years later I am experiencing a problem with Social Security. I will be 62 next year and need to legally change my name so I will be able to collect my monthly Social Security. I was divorced in California but now reside in Arizona. My question is, will I need a Certified or Exemplified copy of my Divorce Decree? Or no copy at all?
  • I moved out of a rental home on 10/16/15 but was made to pay for the entire month of October. Did the 14 days for returning my deposit start on 10/16 or 10/31? Also, 14 days since both days has passed and I'd like to file a claim in Small Claims Court but I moved out of state. Are there options for out of state former tenants or must I travel back to Arizona? Thank you.
  • I was evicted from my home that I own. Not the land. Was evicted because they said I had a unauthorized roommate and when I asked her to leave she called the police on me and said I pushed her. Both where lies. I haven't even been convicted of the crime. Now they say I can't sell my home unless I pay for lot fees that I owe them after the eviction. They refuse to take my money but then say I still have to pay lot fees. Can I sell my home and not pay these fees. She is telling buyers she can refuse to let them move in if I don't pay for the months I was not even living there.
  • I co-signed for my son on his lease in May of 2016. The lease expired without a new lease being written, do he is now month-to-month. Is it possible to remove myself from liability (terminate my part of the agreement) without taking my son off the rental agreement. He had lived there almost 2 years and has established his own credibility. Am I obligated to stay on the rental agreement as long as he stays at the rental?
  • I currently have joint custody of my children in which I have them 50% of the time. My ex-wife and I do not agree on which schools our children should attend, and our paperwork states that neither of us can make the final decision. An attorney had told me that if we have tried mediation with conciliation services (which we have tried), then the next step would be to file a motion for school determination. My question is: how do you go about doing that? I do not see forms that seem to pertain to this. Thanks!
  • How long after being convicted of a felony do I have to wait until I can file a petition to get my felony set aside?
