I'm landlord-tenant attorney, so I don't know too much about the situation. It's not relevant really whether you live there or not; if the dog's presence is violating the terms of her lease, it could be grounds for eviction. But they can't evict someone in 24 hours--it's a much longer process.

You could seek an Injunction against Harassment against her, i.e., a restraining order that orders her to not call your employer. You could also send her a cease-and-desist letter.

Presuming all parties are in Arizona, then yes. Arizona is a one-party recording state, i.e., only one person involved in the conversation needs to know a recording is being made. You could, however, request the Court order the other parent not record the phone calls.

I don't think you are going to find a pro bono family law attorney unless you're using Community Legal Services. Some firms offering coaching (a form of ongoing consults) to people who are self-represented. That might be what you're looking for.

You posted in the wrong section. This isn't family law (family is for divorce and child custody).

You need to provide the notes. "Counseling or therapy records" is meant to refer to the session records. The proof of attendance is part of the compliance letter your counselor sends.

You and your parents (who need to file since you're not 18) should contact a family lawyer if they haven't already, should consider filing to get some orders in place and perhaps emergency custody, including orders that her father not have any contact with the child.

That's a bizarre way to do it, but, yes, she can. Under Arizona law, she has custody of the children until the father goes to Court to establish his rights.

If I'm understanding this correctly, you live in Arizona, and your case is in South Carolina? If so, you should ask this question to attorneys licensed in South Carolina. Attorneys licensed in Arizona cannot advise you.

The only period that matters for purposes of a divorce is the time that you are married. What happened before the marriage should not factor in.

I recommend you go speak with an attorney who practices in the juvenile courts in Pima County ASAP about filing to terminate his parental rights. If you're going to do it, now is the time. If you don't terminate his rights, he can seek to establish his rights when he gets out of prison.

Yes, I would discuss it all involved ASAP and submit it to the Court as a Supplemental Exhibit ASAP as well. Be aware that the Court might reject it, but it's certainly worth a try. You will also want to review the Court's guidelines for how to submit video evidence.

- MOTION TO REVIEW NEW EVIDENCE: The answer is probably no, but you can give it a try by filing a Motion for Reconsideration. You'll need to explain (1) why you don't produce this evidence at trial because the Court can't consider newly discovered evidence that could have been found... View More

You can file a motion for temporary spousal maintenance and ask to receive spousal maintenance while the case is pending. You can also for temporary custody (or, more specifically, temporary legal decision-making and parenting time) and an interim award of attorney's fees.

It's unusual, but it's possible. Animal cruelty is one of the listed crimes under the domestic violence statute. It may depend on whether his actions meet the standards of animal cruelty (see ARS 13-2910) and whether those actions are significant enough to impact what should happen with... View More

Yes, your case is moving forward even without them giving you a copy. You should reach out to the other party's attorney, inform them you didn't receive a copy, and make sure they have the right email address and mailing address for you. You also should double check the Court records to... View More

Sounds like your best option is probably to going to be filing a Motion for Reconsideration.

The standard for dismissing a judge for bias is so high that you are very unlikely succeed. I do not recommend going that route.

Did California issue a child support order? If so, it must be registered here for the custody case, in which support must be determined. An Arizona court cannot modify the California support order unless it's properly registered and in front of the Arizona court. For that reason, I don't... View More

You probably need to get it tested. Then once you find out it is meth, you need to ask him to submit to a drug test. If it's positive, you could use that as a reason to get temporary emergency custody (i.e., legal decision-making and parenting time) over the children.

If you're... View More
