QUESTIONS

  • I rent a room from my roommate, who is not the owner, but is it legal or allowed for him to set up a camera..video & audio..to record while he's gone at night? It's in a common room, not pointing at my room, but he did not ask me about it nor did he tell me about it and maybe explain that he was worried about blah blah. Just one day out of the blue now there's a camera. Also is it legal for him to do that using the Internet that I pay for at this apartment?
  • I've been renting from the same landlord for three years and suddenly he foreclosed. Is it possible for his name not to show anywhere on the foreclosure papers?
  • My disabled mother and i moved into my girlfriends dads house with her. We (girlfriend and myself and mother) have no rental agreement but pay ontime every month. We also paid to have the house modified for my moms disability. I am not abusive, have never had the authorities called for anything. We had a disagreement now she is trying to evict us by March 1st. What can I do?
  • i applied for cash asst. and food stamps how do I find out the status of my application
  • My son has an 18 year old daughter but is not listed on the birth certificate. He volunteered to pay child support and longer does as his daughter is over 18. His daughter now wants to have his name on the birth certificate to claim her Native American heritage. Both are in agreement. What is the court process as I was told there isn't a form and to contact legal services. Thank you.
  • I am the legal guardian of my two grandsons. Their mother (my daughter) is in prison. The father refuses to accept any responsibility saying they are not his children, even though he was married to my daughter when all three of the children were born. The Court has ordered him to have paternity testing, but he has refused to do so. I am 52 years old and need help supporting these children. Since their father refuses, and their mother is in prison, can I adopt these children and get any kind of aid for them?
  • I am a stepparent. My husband's ex indicated that I can not sign permission slips for the kids to attend school field trips. I checked with the district and they said I could as long as my husband agreed. I always send a copy of the permission slip to his ex (she has never provided the same courtesy to my husband). I want to do what is right and legal. May I continue to sign permissions slips and pay for field trips or must my husband sign these slips?
  • If I text and tell my landlord that I'm moving out on a certain day and don't even though my lease Isent up until Sept. Could she take me to court and have me removed because of the text or is the text hearsay
  • Does a 20ft x 20ft area of sand filled with animal waste that is potent enough to be smelled 100 ft away count as a violation of implied warranty of habitability? The lease we signed said that we were responsible for the yard after 30 days but the smell is so strong we couldn't figure out where it was coming from until a few days after that time frame.
  • I moved in with my girlfriend and her sister back in March 2017, I am not on the lease but I have been paying half of the bills since I got here. Her sister is now saying I need to leave or she will call the police. My girlfriend is the primary lease holder and said it's fine for me to stay. What are my rights?
