I would say both drivers are equally at fault. You turned left when it was not safe to do so and the other driver ran a red light. Damage doesn't prove the speed of either vehicle. All it demonstrates is the level of impact. Your word against his. From what you described, though, the speed...

I'm pretty sure a photographer is not qualified to make a determination like this. However, if your insurance company is involved to the level of sending a photographer, you can bet they are in contact with the other insurance company. Have you spoken to your agent?

What is the name of your state? AZ What kind of weight would a judge put on the "wishes" of a 7yo? I ask because my daughter has repeated things back to me that her mom and I have discussed. I do not talk to her about "adult" things that her mom and I discuss, but her mom clearly does not...

How did she get custody?

The "Grandma" thing is not as convenient as it may sound. My parents basically raised my daughter for the first 3 years of her life and even after that she would stay there several nights a week until she was about 5, so there is a lot of attachment on both sides. My daughters mom mom has...

What is the name of your state? AZ My 7yo daughter's mom works the night shift 4 nights a week on a split shift. Her nights off are Tuesdays, Fridays and alternate every other Saturday and Sunday. We have an arrangement where my daughter will stay with me on the nights she works with the...

If I steal for it, I may need more than just a family lawer. ;) I'm more concerned about visitation and not so much about custody, although I will be requesting joint custody in my response. Right. I knew this much, and again, I'm not really worried about a future child support order. I can...

Understood. I guess my question should have been more along the lines of "is it common practice for a court to order back child support?" I paid probably 20% of what I gave her in cash, so I have no paper trail for it. My mistake, I know, and I learned my lesson. I just wasn't sure if it...

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Arizona Hi all, This is long, so please bear with me. My 7 year old daughters mom (we'll call her "D") and I were still "together" (never married) for about 2 years after my daughter was born. When we separated, we never pursued...
