Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
I am 42 yrs old and a single mom of 2 children. twice divorced and my girl is 16 abd son 11. He is diabetic and my daughter a rotten teenager. After falling on hard times last year my mother asked me to stay with her (same house I grew up in) she had been recently retired and lost her mother and husband. Its a huge house 5000 sq feet and after a while i noticed i was there to slave for her ..and she was beginning to show signs of \"craziness\". She had always been VERY controlling and manipultative. As well I contributed over 500.00 a month to thehousehold. Even though the house is paid for. It was for utilities and to help her. I also bought all the food. Well every argument we had she would try to throw me out..and keep my kids ..she was trying to control me ...to do what IDK? It seems now after 1 year i decided to try again with my sons dad BUtu he moived to AZ. She began to freak oout about themove even though it would be best for us and a positive....she made my life and my childrens life hell. I had called the police one time because she was out of control yelling swearing threatening. So after i move 5 weeks ago..i find out she went to the police one day when we had a fight(verbal) anad filed a falde report saying it hit her or threatened to or whatever. About a week later she calls me and says you MUST come back to las vegas NOW..there is a warrent for your arrest. (HUH?) then she explains it was one of our fights and she didnt think it would be pushed this far because i was never arrested immed. following. I even lived there for 10 days after she filed...unbeknowgnst to me. Now she claims they have issued me a warrant and i am being charged with a FELONY battery charge ??i am so confused....I never KNEW she went there...I never touched her or threatened to shes my mother..I always leave or go away and rather than fight I ultimately have moved ny whole family to AZ. I certainly was never asked a single question by a officer or anyone for that matter i DIDNT EVEN KNOW SHE DIDTHIS???!!! BTW ..i have never been arrested or even gotten a speeding ticket ...never in trouble with the law...I wont deny we argued ..but i have my kids to raise and she offered help and assistance and when i found out it was not the case I can not be her victim of control now. She is very mentally abusive to my children and never really PARENTED me ...i was raised by my Grandmother and dad. PLEASE HELP..sorry for the length but its complicated and i am worried.

I am sorry to hear of your situation. It sounds like your mother has some very serious mental health issues. Perhaps she needs to be in assisted living or a mental health facility? If you were charged with anything it would be spurious (false) charges it sounds like, but you should get a summons or something if you need to return to Nevada to face any charges. Meanwhile, if there is anything else you need to do legally you will probably need to find a lawyer who is licensed in the state of Nevada, which I don't happen to be. Good luck!
