QUESTIONS

  • My landlord has yet to return my security deposit. She keeps saying "I'll do it soon" but doesn't. I don't think she has much intention of returning it soon. In her lease, it states she has 30 days to return security deposit, I was unaware that in AZ she only has 14. Since I signed her contract, do I have to wait the full 30 days or does AZ Law of 14 business days trump that?
  • 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?
  • I am a cashier and stand for 8 hours. Have severe leg and back pain. My doctor filled out the form to reduce my hours to 20 and no more than 6 hour shifts. For the FMLA do I have to be employed for 12 months for just a reduction in hours. Need to know before I submit form.
  • I texted my landlord that the air conditioner wasn't working and the temp in the home kept rising to which his response was that he wanted to break the lease and have us out by the end of the month. I pay rent on time and even before its due can the landlord do this without even giving me time to find a new home
  • The flushing mechanism inside the toilet tank has broken. Flushing the toilet is only possible by reaching into the tank and pulling the chain. Is it the lanlords responsibility to fix it?
  • My husband & I have legal guardianship of our two grandsons, aged 14 & 15. Our 14 year old has requested to live with his mother, who is also in Tucson. This will be ok with us, however we don't know exactly how to proceed. His father has physical custody,mom has joint custody. His dad has indicated that he does not want him. What is the legal proceedure to turn custody over to his mom?
  • My son is 4 and his father (starting another family) has chosen not to be involved in his sons life anymore. If I am okay with it, is he able to sign over his rights to his son?
  • If your abused by your husband and you divorce him and he owes taxes.. what are your options?
  • My husband was recently arrested for sexually abusing my daughters. He is currently in jail awaiting trial for 3 class 6 felony charges. Of course I want a divorce, but I want to make sure that I proceed in a way that will most benefit my five children. I want to protect them from their father (get sole custody), and I want to do what will help us most financially. So is it best to file divorce papers immediately or to wait until he is convicted? If he is convicted does all of his property revert to me if we are still married? I am thinking long term, I know that I won't be receiving any child support so if the property doesn't revert to me on his conviction, is it likely that courts will give me all the community property in lieu of child support? Thank you.
  • If my husband is charging gambling debts to a mutual credit card, can I avoid responsibility?
