Retain a lawyer. You can rent an apartment but the house payment still needs to be paid. If your spouse agrees to pay the house payment you can file agreed temporary orders
Husband has genital warts and never told me. Once he did I asked him if it was serious and he said he didn’t know he didn’t ask questions when he was diagnosed. Then after 4 years he told me

You may be able to sue for negligence or battery if your husband should have known or did know he had the STD, but neglected or intentionally chose not tell you, and then you contracted the STD from him. However, these types of lawsuits are complicated and you will likely have an issue with spousal... Read more »

You need to file a motion with the court (child support court/superior court??) and have an actual hearing, rather than contacting case workers and waiting for them to take appropriate action. While the children are in your custody, you should not be obligated to pay child support. The trial... Read more »
I do not agree with what is stated in this motion, I am not ready & I cannot afford legal counsel.
answered on Jun 30, 2022
Yes. If you do not respond, the Court can set the matter for trial whether you are ready or not.
Do an internet search for "Arizona legal self-help." There are resources that may assist you in responding.

We would need to see the trust agreement to determine whether the property reverts to the grantor(s), or whether title vests in the beneficiaries. If the trust is still revocable (because the grantor(s) are alive, the grantors could revoke the trust and own the property as they choose. There is... Read more »

Typically, in such an instance, the Court should allow your responsive papers to the Petitioner's motion when the opposing side raises new facts or circumstances. If you are not allowed, you can argue that the Petitioner's new facts should not be considered. A party is not allowed to... Read more »

Even if the asker had a will, the husband could get his elective share of the asker's property. Saying there is no... Read more »

In your situation, since you are soon to get sworn in as a US citizen, the fact that your wife has separated from you would not be of any consequence at this time. As long as you are still legally married, which it sounds like you are, you should be good to go for your naturalization. USCIS has... Read more »
