Question

I live in an apartment that is connected to another apartment (condex) and have recently had an excessive rodent issue. I have attempted to resolve this issue on my own (setting traps and disposing of dead mice) however in the past 3 weeks I have caught 6 mice and I feel that this issue is now excessive. I have contacted my landlord and his response is basically "not my problem." Isnt he legally responsible to assist with the problem if the Rental agreement states he is responsible for rodent issues?

Answer

Under the state sanitary code, the landlord is responsible to treat for rodents no matter what the lease says. You should call the Board of Health for your town and ask them to inspect. If they find that there is a problem, they will contact the landlord to fix the problem.

Question

I was put on PWV and the judge said I would be on probation for a year with some fines and counseling. Whenever the order of court came in the mail it said the probation was only 30 days. So is my probation a year or 30 days?

Answer

I'd call the clerk of the criminal court or your probation officer. Look like a mess up but who knows. I['d consider buying a lottery ticket if it really is 30 days.

Question

I am currently pursuing child support from my children's father. I reside in Texas, and he is in New York. We went through our divorce in New York and a child support order was instituted. While in NY, I received an opportunity to relocate to Texas for work. My then ex-husband requested I release him of child support arrears, then he will permit me to relocate with our 3 children. Since we shared custody, I needed his agreement.

I granted him this request and relocated. In our parting verbal agreement, I agreed to lowering his continued pymts so that he can save in order to and visit the kids a few times a year...his savings would go to travel fees. As a result, I began having difficulty receiving regular payments, to eventually receiving nothing.

Our oldest 2 are now 22 and 20 years old and I have for about 5 years now been pursuing out of state the reinstating of the original order. My 20 year old moved out just in Nov of 2013, after becoming pregnant during college. My 22 year old has been at home attending college. And my 17 yr old son (turning 18 on May 25th), is a senior preparing for college this fall.

I am having trouble receiving feedback from the TX office that is working my case, and can never get any response from the NY office

Questions:

-Do I still have rights to receive back child support, at least from 2008 when he stopped paying even our agreed lowered payments?

-Why are the NY courts asking for MY financials seemingly every other month after I have provided it the first time asked?

-Why are the courts allowing him to supeona my bank records? How is this serving the case?

Thank you for any information you can provide.

Answer

1. Back child support: Yes.

2. Why NY asking for financials: Who can explain why the IV-D agencies do what they do?

3. Allowing bank records: You could have contested the subpoena and should have prevailed if you did.

Frankly, you need a private attorney. I know you probably don't have much money, but private attorneys in child support cases pay for themselves (you do have to pay upfront) because they will get more money than you can get on your own, they can stop harassment, and they can get the other parent to pay you back for your legal fees.

Question

OCGA 17-4-26 provides for a commitment hearing within 72 hours of arrest with a warrant. OCGA 17-4-62 provides for a commitment hearing within 48 hours of arrest without a warrant. How can DeKalb County justify providing this hearing only for felony arrestees and not for misdemeanor arrestees?

Answer

Misdemeanor arrestees are automatically entitled to a bond. IF you make bond you are not entitled to a commitment hearing. So, IF you are automatically given a bond, there is less concern about a prelim.

Question

I came home from work today to find that my wife had taken my son and there things back to Texas; we live in Oklahoma. Can she do this?

Answer

Have you lived in Oklahoma for at least the past six (6) months? If so, then Oklahoma would be the home state for the child. You should consider filing something here to keep jurisdiction in Oklahoma unless you want to fight a custody battle in Texas.
