I am recently divorced and my ex-wife is monitoring texts between me and my children, as well as hovering over them whIle we talk on the phone. Is this legal in the state of Arizona? Don't I have some form of privacy allotted to me when talking with my children?
answered on Sep 25, 2018
In terms of what is legal in the State of Arizona, this depends, in part, on what your parenting plan states.
Most parenting plans do contain clauses regarding communications between the parent who is not with the children and the children and a good parenting plan will include orders that... View More

He would be violating the TPO and committing another felony. Stop trying to contact him. If you want the TPO dismissed, file a motion, but do not contact him while the order is in place.
The law enforcement handling the case told me that I would have to subpeona them . because it falls under the alabama open record law

Your question raises a couple different issues, so I'll break it down in parts.
(1) Is it illegal to record the phone call?
No, probably not. A person can record a phone conversation in Michigan, if the person recording the call is a participant in the phone call and the... View More

The kinds of questions you posted, she actually doesn't have to answer. It's not great parenting, but she isn't obligated to tell you those things. As long as she actually does show up for the parenting time designated, then she isn't in contempt of the order.
And in retaliation stalker follows me one eve on the street and robs me of my cell phone wallet etc..isn’t that like intimidation of a witness?

I don't think you need counsel yet - as you have not given the lender time to digest the information they probably just received yesterday or maybe not even until today.
But - if Carrington proceeds to foreclosure then you must seek counsel immediately. In the meantime you can ask for... View More

You are obviously in the midst of a criminal prosecution.
Have you discussed this with your lawyer? I think you are asking around because you do not like your attorney's answer.
If you do not trust your attorney to provide proper counsel, you can always retain a new one

You can contact the police for harassing phone calls, and/or you can change your phone number.

How would this person possibly do this?
If you are an employee and they are an employer, that would be different.
My ex boyfriend and I bought a house together, split up a year ago and decided he could keep the house and I would get my name off of the mortgage. He now is refusing to speak to me and I don’t know what to do now as I still own this house and I don’t even live in it.
answered on Jun 5, 2018
You are in a bad position. The lender has no incentive to let you off the mortgage because it would be increasing its risk with nothing in return. Unless you can convince the former boyfriend to refinance, you will remain on the hook in the event he defaults. Perhaps a letter to him from an... View More

Yes, it is legal to take photographs in a public space where there is no expectation of privacy. A public school, on public property, during school hours, is such a location.
