2. Parenting time
3. Child support
4. Spousal maintenance
5. Division of property
6. Division of debts

Yes, you can get full custody under those circumstances, but it is far from a guarantee. This is not a clearcut case for getting full custody, but you have arguments you can make that could get you there. A judge is going to be very concerned about what happened with the gymnastics dropoff, but the... View More

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 posted in the wrong section. This isn't family law (family is for divorce and child custody).
We have a court order to use mediation to resolve issues. We are also ordered to use an app for all communications. This was ordered 5 months ago.To this point it has not been an issue but now there are changes happening to our child’s school due to IEP results and I am being ghosted. If I text... View More

It unfortunately does not work that way, which I know is frustrating and makes no sense. But you have to pay the court-ordered amount for child support every month regardless of what she owes you. Like I said, it makes no sense, but it's the situation you're in. If she's not making a... View More

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.

Judge has immunity from suit. But you may need to file an appeal from whatever orders were entered. It will be expensive and difficult. Hopefully you have standing as a beneficiary, etc.

You wrote, "Is my name on the birth certificate enough to establish paternity?"
That's a simple question but it has somewhat complex answer.
Technically, no. Your name on the birth certificate does not establish paternity. Under A.R.S. 25-814(A), your name... View More

The law is not entirely clear on this. A child is not emancipated for SUPPORT purposes until they are 18 and have graduated high school. If they don't graduate high school, they emancipate when they turn 19.
However, that does not mean that's the law for custody.... View More

We would need to know more. But I will say the covenant marriage laws do not address this situation, and there is only one published case involving a covenant marriage, and it did not involve this situation, so, in other words, this is a situation the law has neither dealt with nor anticipated....

She's being ridiculous.
The problem is this: How did you document this?
When you're fighting with crazy, you sometimes need to think through how to prove things that are, well, absolutely ridiculous that you have to prove.

Most likely, the family court does not have jurisdiction over your dog.
The family court only has jurisdiction over dogs in divorces and only when the dog was acquired during the marriage and is the property of one or both of the spouses. In that... View More

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.
