My jewelry was stolen in 2007 and the guy was convicted. I recently found two of my 3 rings at a pawn shop and notified police.

I would make a complaint with the police. Did you ever get a civil judgment against the thief?

Can my employer force me to work an extra day or fire me?

Generally an employer can change your hours and treat others more favorably than you no matter the reason, unless the reason is a protected one (i.e. your gender, sexual orientation, or other protected class). If you think that you are being discriminated against because of a wrongful reason, you should contact BOLI.

Do I need to pay health insurance with child support and how can I get my ex to follow court order

Insurance, child care, and visitations should be described in your court ordered parenting plan. Often, there is additional wording which addresses one parent attempting to undermine the other by using the child as a pawn. To enforce non-compliance with your wife, you may have to return to court. However, a letter from your attorney identifying the non-compliance may be all that is needed to bring about compliance.

The Arizona Department of Economic Security website provides a link to Child Protective Services. At that site, you can find a link to Family Support Services. You may want to contact them, as they serve as your state's agency, tell them you need some guidance and see where that leads.

I was in Car Accident, my car is 4 months old, should I demand anything less than a new car?

As frustrating as it is, as said before, demanding a new car is not the reality of insurance replacement. It any event, it would be wisdom to obtain the opinion of a competent accident injury attorney in your area - prior to settling for something you feel will leave you holding the bag on a car which may easily be considered totaled.

Your attorney's experience and understanding of the law places him/her in the best position to answer your question. You should listen to your attorney's opinion. If you do not trust your attorney you should get another one.

Michael's advice above seems like a good first step. Talk to your agent. If the insurance is too much, shop around.
