QUESTIONS

  • Can you get child support if you are the legal guardian not a parent? I am taking care of two children that I have guardianship of. The parents live together and are not providing any assistance.
  • How do I go about getting guardianship of a minor that was put out of his home and is now living with me?
  • I am about 12 days late on rent but i already told the landlord i will pay rent on the 28th my refrigerator is mot working and i told him about it and he refuses to make the repair till rent is paid can he do that?
  • Our 17 year old daughter just had a baby out of wedlock. Do we have rights of say so over our grandson since she is a minor?
  • My ex is supposed to pay court ordered child support and has not done so for a little over 19 months. Am I supposed to file paperwork to have it on the record, or does the state automatically know that he owes me back child support? I don't even know if he is working currently.
  • Can I take out at loan at 17?
  • Should I seek counsel in a case where I ihave a protective order and defendant filed an answer with a lawyer?
  • I am defending myself in a case. I have a witness who gave a recorded statement to my insurance company. The witness gave permission to my insurance company to release the recording to anyone wishing to investigate the incident. Can I use this recording in court as evidence? Does the witness need to be present in order for me to use the recording? The witness may not be able to appear in court and that is why I am asking.
  • What can I do if I feel my 9 year old is not being properly cared for in the other parent's home that I currently share joint custody with? For example, most recently the other parent left our child at a nearby apartment complex pool with another 9 year old completely alone and unsupervised or accompanied by any other adult (the kids were the only ones there) for over an hour while the other parent allegedly walked to a gas station to purchase alcohol. My child also complains that the other parent is using drugs in front of him. Is this considered neglect and what are my options?
  • I have been living in Arizona for the last 10 years but have 3 children in California. I have tried to work at child support arrangemmetns privately with the mother of my children but have not been able to come to an agreement. I have two children now in AZ that i pay child support for no problem. How do I go about starting child support case living in AZ for CA. I am also in the process of getting married to my childrens mother in AZ so I may not sure how this would affect my child support case in CA. Wanting to care of my kids but mom wont allow me to do so.
