I’m 17 and my girlfriend is 16, we have parental consent for getting married, we are just wondering if we legally become Adults when married, also she is pregnant.
No, two minors who are married with parental permission are not automatically emancipated. A minor over the age of 16 can petition the courts to be emancipated, but they must show that they are capable of living independently from their parents. Your girlfriend will be able to make healthcare... Read more »
Can I as a legal adult be forcibly removed and will my friends get in trouble?
You put this in the categories. This is not a contracts, criminal, or family law matter. It's something that would be better asked of a probate attorney.
Is your power of attorney revocable? If it is, you should revoke it. Again, that is something you should discuss with a probate... Read more »

I would suggest consulting with an attorney who handles civil litigation before you make any move regarding a lawsuit.

There is a case between my GF and her ex. My name was now brought up in a hearing, regarding real estate, something I was accused of doing professionally speaking. May I write the Judge to clear my name or somehow file something in this matter?
No. You're not a party. You can't file something in a case in which you are not a party. Further, writing a judge directly is not allowed. Judges can only communicate with parties when both parties are present.
Presuming this is a family law case (e.g., divorce or child custody... Read more »

Unfortunately this happens too often. The life partner probably feels some entitlement and does not want to deal with the fact that she (or he) has no legal right to your father's property. It is concerning that this has been allowed to linger since September, but I your recommend drafting a... Read more »

No. Proving they have a motive to fabricate is a credibility issue that can ONLY be resolved at a trial. What you describe is something where a judge is going to need to hear and receive evidence from both of you before it can be decided.
A Motion to Dismiss is only appropriate where there... Read more »

Unfortunately, there are no easy answers here. I assume you are stating that the opposing party won. ARS 12-341.01 applies to attorneys fees in Breach of Contract cases.

I am not sure if I should sign the waiver because I haven't had time or money to get legal advice. I already filed an answer denying the complaint saying I went to court for this incident.
While all cases are different, the waiver is a standard procedure in Arizona if the parties are in communication. It provides an additional time period beyond the normal Answer deadline for a party to file an answer.
Waiving service saves costs and gives the person answering 60 to respond... Read more »

You should call and attorney and request a case evaluation. Whether a 1099 independent contractor is misclassified is a fact specific analysis based on a number of factors.
In August 2021, my spouse was evaluated in our rural/local emergency room. It was determined he had Covid pneumonia and needed to be admitted but the hospital was full.

An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks.

Thank you for your question. EIN and TIN are the same and are applied for on the same application.
The answer is you CAN get an EIN (Employer Identification Number) or TIN (Tax Identification Number) for a Trust, but it generally is not a good idea. When the Trustor is alive, the Trust... Read more »

The overall answer to your question is the most common lawyer answer of all (and also the most disappointing lawyer answer): It depends.
