    Legal Advice - UPDATE: (OK) Aggressive dogs next door, basically unable to use my back yard.


    UPDATE: (OK) Aggressive dogs next door, basically unable to use my back yard.

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 05:36 PM PST

    Sometimes, problems solve themselves.

    There was more to the situation next door than I knew about, which doesn't surprise me really. There was a woman living there who was maybe a little older than I (Early 40's) and her son who looked early 20's. He was working like mad to get all the bills paid, while his mom was spending every dime she could beg borrow or steal at the casino... which eventually culminated in them having to move out, taking their ill-trained dogs with them.

    So now we have our yard to use.

    Girl who has a restraining order against me got hired at the company I work at. [NYC]

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 12:53 AM PST

    I currently have a restraining order against me. Turns out the girl who has the restraining order against me just got hired at the company. I know this because I've seen her in the lobby of the building. She has told me that if I don't leave the job she will call the cops on me. I probably won't be able to get another job at this time, especially with my background. Am I legally obligated to leave my job? What is the protocol in situations like this?

    Please leave legal advice only. I have already had plenty of psychiatric help.

    My location is NYC, USA.

    My Ex husband who had partial custody of our kid recently died, and now his GF of 2 Years says she going to be sueing me for custody of my daughter.

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 02:51 PM PST

    I'm 29, my daughters 11 years old, live in T.N My Ex husband who had partial custody of our kid recently died, and now his GF of 2 Years says she going to be sueing me for custody of my daughter. Is their anyway that she can actually do this? I mean I know you can kinda sue anyone for pretty much anything even if sometimes it's for a stupid reason and sometimes you wont be taken seriously but what I mean is, does she actually have a valid legal argument and is she entitled to see my kid? Her argument and reason that she claims that shes entitled to see my daughter is that because whenever my ex husband would have my daughter over during partial custody visits that during over that time that she developed and maintained a "mother daughter like" relationship with my daughter.. her words not mine...

    Since she has been around and spent time with my daughter during my ex husband's partial custody visits over the past 2 years, does she have any sort of valid legal claim and does she have any sort of legitimate chance of winning this kind of case?

    she wanted me to sign an agreement, where she would basically have the same type of partial custody as what my ex husband use to have. I flat out refused because she's my daughter not hers, and that she doesn't have any claim over my daughter (at least that I'm aware of) and she's not entitled to see her. I did tell her, tho that she's more than welcome to visit my daughter anytime and that just because I dont have to bring her to their house to see them now that I'm not legally obligated to because now that my husband passed. That it doesn't mean that I'm gonna kick her out of our lives and she would still be apart of my daughters life because my daughter really likes her, and I would never isolate or kick her out of our lives, just because my ex husband passed. But that doesn't mean that I have any legal obligation to keep with her where I should have to sign over custody of my daughter to her, but she still said that the reason she wants "it in writing, is in case if me and her ever get into an argument or something that I wouldn't be able to keep my daughter away from her" I flat out refused and she threatened me saying I know your struggling financially and a court battle could really cost you alot, and I have plenty of money so it could go on for years,costing you and your daughter alot of money, and you would probably have to go through all of your ex husband's life insurance settlement just to cover it, so it would be better to just agree to sign over partial custody because if not, it will cost tons of time and money and in the long run I might end up with full custody!" I Immediatly knew that this was some sort of plea and scare and threat tactic where she was hoping I would be stupid or scared enough to agree, and I immediately refused, and thought in my head wtf what kind of person says and acts this way!?!? And since shes 100% serious and she would be ok with me having to spend all of my ex husbands life insurance around $25k on court stuff than she must not rlly care that much about my daughter, because we all talked about how that was gonna be for my daughters college, so if she would be ok with making me waste my daughter college money then she rlly is a fucked up shitty person, now I dont know wtf is gonna happen but she said shes gonna sue me, and I believe that she's being 100% serious, and I'm scared that shes right that I'm gonna have to hire a lawyer and use my daughters college money just to keep my daughter... but I do know that theirs no way in hell that I'm voluntarily signing anything giving her any kind of custody or anything else.

    Missed cancer diagnosis

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 10:50 AM PST

    About two weeks ago, I was diagnosed with brain cancer and given a 20% five year survival chance. They stated that had they found it a year ago, my odds would be significantly higher. Coincidentally, I saw another doctor about a year ago complaining of headaches. They did an MRI, said nothing was wrong, diagnosed me with chronic migraines and sent me on my way. I went to a different doctor a couple weeks ago because they've gotten worse and are accompanied with other symptoms. They did an MRI and found a tumor. I told them about the other MRI I had done last year, and they said due to the size of the tumor, there's no way I didn't have it then. I was able to have a copy of the old MRI sent in to the current doctor and he was able to see the tumor on the MRI, meaning I should have been diagnosed and started treatment then. Now because of that missed diagnosis, I'm probably going to die. Do I have any legal option agains the other practice? Really, I just would maybe like to see if I can get enough to cover treatment without screwing over my family.

    A woman was paid to write a negative review about our dental clinic alleging that she was groped by her doctor.

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 07:46 AM PST

    The review in question alleges that the situation occurred during her appointment last week. This patient hasn't been seen in over six months. She also wrote negatively about a procedure that she's never even had done. The entire review is fake. We asked her mother about why her daughter would do such a thing and she told us that someone paid her 200 dollars to write it. The daughter won't tell us who told her to write the review, but she apologized and said she really needed the money. Is there anything we can do about this? This is an extremely serious false allegation which will hurt our business and the doctor's personal and professional life.

    Update: this is a dental clinic in California. Also, we just received an email from some agency offering to scrub the negative review for 2k. Not sure if they are connected but it is very strange timing, especially since this is our only negative review.

    Neighbor suffers from scheizophrenia, today she flooded our apartment. Police / bylaw don't seem to want to do anything. What options do we have?

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 05:20 PM PST

    Me and my fiancee own our condo, the upstairs neighbor is a tenant, and is renting it from her daughter from my understanding. She moved in on December 5th, and since then our lives have been a living fucking hell.

    The first night after she moved in we were woken up by her at 4 am, screaming at the top of her lungs off her balcony for someone. This progressed to her having a massive crying fit, slamming doors etc. We ended up calling the police, who managed to calm her down somewhat.

    • Apparently she suffers from severe schizophrenia
    • The police recommended if she has more episodes to immediately call 911
    • Every single fucking night she is having some sort of episode, sometimes screaming and crying with no end in sight.
    • Her daughter is supposed to be taking care of her apparently, but she doesn't live here.

    Pretty much every night there is something, sometimes its during the night other times its listening to her scream and cry for hours on end. It is maddening, our condo board knows about it but they have been telling us they cannot just evict her.

    On thursday at 3am, she started pounding on our door, even after telling her that she has the wrong floor, she refused to believe us. She then kept throwing her body at our door over and over, and trying to break it down screaming all sorts of horrible things at us.

    Police/Paramedics ended up carting her away, and told us that she is someone who needs constant supervision/a guardian. However since she is mentally ill they aren't going to press any sort of charges.

    Today we went shopping and came back to half of our apartment flooded. Apparently she started a sink and let it run, and it wasn't until our downstairs neighbor started leaking did someone catch on. Even then it apparently required the police/fire department intervention to get the water turned off.

    Our kitchen/hallway is basically fucked right now, and she just came back and is screaming about something. I am terrified that she is going to start a fire or something and burn the building down.

    Can anyone explain to me what i should/can we do?

    Sorry, Location is GTA, Ontario

    Is this legal to do during a surgery?

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 02:01 PM PST

    So I had a breast reduction less than a year ago. While cutting into me, my surgeon called my husband and asked me if he could remove a mole I had near the incisions, in my cleavage if that makes sense. My husband says that when they asked him, they made it sound like it would be where the incisions are and that they had to remove it. Anyway now I have an ugly dime sized scar instead of a mole that never bothered me. My surgeon never mentioned it to me during my consultations before surgery, we never discussed my mole at all. I feel self conscious when wearing low cut clothing. It really bothers me that he didn't even have to do this, the surgeon just decided to. And he asked my husband, not me! It can't be legal for someone else to make decisions for you like this, right? Like what if the surgeon decided to put in double d implants while I was under, I don't see a difference between that and what happened. I hope this makes sense. The mole was near the incisions, but not at all where they are. I'm in Texas btw

    Edit:I measured and it's exactly one itch from the start of the nearest incision

    Edit:I just talked to my husband and he said they told him that it was definitely in the way of an incision. So they straight up lied

    Sellers turned utilities off before closing, flooded house when I turned utilities on. Any recourse?

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 06:52 AM PST

    I just bought my first house, closed on Wednesday and got the keys on Thursday. When I went over there I found the sellers had not properly closed the water valve to the washing machine hookups off completely and water spraying out and the entire laundry room and kitchen in about an inch of water.

    The sellers had turned utilities off prior to closing and when they unhooked the washing machine I'm assuming didn't know it wasn't tightened all the way. So when utilities turned on in my name on Wednesday it started flooding the downstairs. My real estate agent says our contract requires the utilities to stay on, so the sellers are in breach of contract.

    The sellers are refusing to accept responsibility and their home owners insurance won't file a claim. Any options here?

    Neighbor building a big “garage”in a wetland buffer

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 05:42 PM PST

    Recently I got a letter from my local conservation board for a variance meeting for my neighbor to build an approximate 1200 sq ft garage and about a 200 sq ft shed all within a 100 ft wetland buffer.

    This is in Massachusetts

    My concerns

    Probably 100 feet from my home, probably 400-500 from there dwelling, home already has a 2 car garage.

    We live in the woods, this is going to take a lot of privacy from us.

    I think the are going to try and put an apartment above it, the home owners brother is selling his home, this garage has a large deck at 2nd floor height. It is against the town bylaws to build and accessory apartment in our zoning.

    The brother is spearheading this and has "connections" in the town hall.

    Any advice how to prevent this or at least stop it from becoming a living space?

    (Colorado, USA) Getting eviction letters and notice for previous resident.

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 02:26 PM PST

    So my neighbor had a larger bedroom apartment and was about 3 months behind on rent. He left in the middle of the night and moved to some state far away. So I talked with my landlord and he agreed for me to move into the new apartment, he cancelled my old lease agreement and I signed a new one for the apartment. I've been moved in for about a week now but now I have people knocking on my windows at 11:00pm at night and harassing my fiancé saying we're going to get evicted. They're looking for the previous tenant, but I have a whole new lease I have nothing to do with him. But they still continue to come by and take eviction notices to the door. I'm not sure what to do here.

    My girlfriends ex has been constantly harassing her. He is the main suspect in the burglary of our apartment and we just discovered our storage unit was broken into days ago and he is, once again, the main suspect. Previous case went inactive. What are our Legal options? (Wisconsin)

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 09:15 AM PST

    This is a long post and there are only so many details I can Include because the harassment has been happening to my girlfriend over the last few years. The cliff notes are: she shares joint custody (9 year old boy and 7 year old boy) but she has impass (I'm not sure what more that means aside she has final say on school, religion, health, etc.). He has been found in contempt of their order for numerous things and she's continuously fought (without a lawyer) for more placement. She was awarded a domestic abuse restraining order for 4 years and that expired a few months after the first break in occurred. There were instances of him breaking the restraining order and she called the police but that was a few years ago. Most of the harassment is multiple phone calls, texts, and emails most are repetitive and accusing her of being negligent/abusive towards one of her sons. I won't go into details of the things he is guilty of in terms of parenting but I can say with complete and utter confidence that these accusations toward my girlfriend are completely false. He is hiding behind his sons and using them as a gateway to harass and stalk me and my girlfriend. 6 months ago, a month prior to my deployment, he was taken into jail to serve the bench warrant for being in contempt of his order. The day he got out of jail, he spoke with my girlfriends sons on the phone and they told him we were going to be out of town for the day at an event. Later that night we came home and after 45 minutes, realized our house had been broken into. We immediately called the police and the investigation started. He strategically stole certain things belongings only things me and my girlfriend owned, he didn't steal anything from the sons including a piggy bank in their room. He left all expensive gaming systems but took things like files, computers, my gun, etc. and also poured water on our tv. It's clear it was a motivated intimidation/revenge attack and wasn't motivated by money and wasn't random. The circumstantial evidence is pretty high but the police said there wasn't quite enough to search his phone locations. There was an eye witness to him carrying stuff by his car parked in the street but it wasn't exact/detailed enough. The case eventually went inactive while I was deployed. While I was overseas my girlfriend explained that her keys were stolen from her purse at a swim meet for her son which her ex was in attendance. Her wallet was untouched. She did file a police report and followed up with the school but nothing was found. Thursday I found my power in my apartment off and had an officer escort me around the apartment to ensure no one was inside. The next day I found my storage unit broken into (none around it had their hinges pulled off the wall like ours). I called the police and they're currently investigating that as well. At this point I am incredibly upset in many different ways. I am not sure what our options are legally (if there are any) but this can't keep happening. We can't keep living our lives being tormented and living life so aggressively in the defense.

    I think my friend is having a mental health issue and he's refusing to leave my house. (FL)

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 06:07 PM PST

    I believe my best friend is suffering from a severe mental health issue. We have been friends for 14 years and even dated on and off back in high school. Two years ago he got divorced and became very depressed. He dropped out of law school, abandoned his business, abandoned his child support custody case, and refused to leave the house. Since then, i have been making 1k mile road trips twice a year to see him and he becomes very happy that I visit. I have also sent him plane tickets to join me on vacations since then and he has been coming out of the house seemingly getting better. I recently invited him to work a seasonal position at my job.

    Things were going great for two weeks, then suddenly he became very fixated on hurting me. He has become hypercritical of me and everything I do. He yells at me when I don't communicate in a way that seems appropriate to him. He has become hypersexual and demands that we have unprotected sex. Last night, we ran into an old friend of mine and I walked away for less than 3 minutes and she was in tears when I came back. She said he made her very uncomfortable by aggressively demanding to hook up in a threesome with her and her boyfriend. We later got in an argument about it when he verbally demanded that i book the next flight for him to go back home. When i offered a Sunday morning flight, he says don't waste my money because he just booked a flight for Jan 5th and that he won't leave until then. He then said "what are you gonna do, kick me out? You're on probation, I know you won't call the police. " He has been taking my medications (medical mmj) and is now leaving notes around my work office with legal jargon concerning discrimination and harassment. He has become argumentative about the work schedule we set for him and making notes about it. I don't know what to do. I talked to his mom about it and she is so hurt that he is treating me this way because I have been so close with the both of them for 14 years.

    I feel like I am being held hostage and threatened with legal action for anything I do. He's saying things that are not true. His mom suggested that he might be off his meds but didn't give any further info. She's not sure when or how she can get here to help. I'm trying to avoid any escalation whatsoever. I'm on probation, I do not want to call the police for anything. I'm really nervous and have been having panic attacks about this. This is my busiest week at work and my performance is suffering. What should I do? I believe he needs mental help but I'm afraid to get police involved because I'm on probation and he is holding it over my head. Should I call a hospital?

    My ladder was stolen from the side of my house and I found it at a pawn shop, but they refuse to give it back. I have filed a police report and identified everything about the ladder and it matches up perfectly. [AL]

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 05:41 AM PST

    Wednesday night I started putting up some Christmas lights.

    I took the ladder down and laid it on the side of my house, I don't have a garage or shed.

    Thursday I didn't notice it but I wasn't looking for it.

    Friday I wanted to finish putting up lights and went to get the ladder. It was gone between Wednesday night and Friday night when I looked for it.

    I talked to my dad and he suggested I check the nearest pawn shop and lo and behold, the ladder was pawned Friday night.

    The ladder in question matches the ladder that was stolen from my property exactly. Same color, height, weight capacity.

    I don't have any person markings or identifications the ladder.

    I filed a police report already and notified the pawn shop.

    I went in to the pawn shop and asked when I could get the ladder back. They told me it was on police hold. There was also an option to buy it off them for $15. I don't know what that price is for. They just said they needed to talk to the police first.

    They had also said that the police would take the ladder and hold it while they investigate the situation and the police could hold it for as long as they needed to.

    It's been a week since then and I need this ladder back.

    I plan on pressing charges on the person who stole it from me. They walked up to the side of my house next to the room my newborn sleeps. They also might be linked to a chain of car break ins on the street. My car has been broken into at least 3 times in the 6 months I've lived there. I should have known not to leave a ladder out but I really didn't think someone would have the audacity to walk out of my yard with it.

    How can I get this stolen ladder back as soon as possible from this pawn shop?

    Estranged family member found our address and gave it out to other no-contact family members

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 02:24 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    This is my first post here. Sorry if I mess anything up!

    Long background short, my husband and I went no-contact with his family almost five years ago for multiple reasons, and we have been much happier and at-ease since making that decision.

    Last year, we moved into a new-build house that we purchased. We intend to stay here for the long haul and do NOT want to move.

    My husband's brother was a cop in a neighboring town, and unknown to us, had recently moved over to our town. One day while my husband was home alone, the brother randomly showed up at our front door, crying and begging for his brother back. His story is that he was driving by on his way to work and saw my husband's truck parked in front of the house.

    He has since come back a couple of times (that I know of), in his cop car, trying to talk to us.

    Now we are receiving Christmas cards from the rest of his family, meaning that his brother freely gave out our address.

    I don't want to spend my life worrying about people dropping by unannounced or even driving by our house when we are not home. When we have kids, I don't want our kids approached by these people if they play outside. At the same time, I refuse to move. His family found us at the last place we lived, too. Short of moving across the country or changing our names, which I am not willing to do, I don't think we can avoid them finding out where we live if we were to move again.

    No one has ever threatened us with violence or anything, so I know we can't just get restraining orders. Is there anything we can legally do to keep these people from contacting us, sending us mail, or coming by our house?

    Edit: is there anything we can do about the brother coming to our house in his police vehicle? Last time he did it, he parked it on the street in a way that blocked our cars from leaving the driveway, which felt to me like an attempt at unsettling us.

    What to do about HOA that's started suing members and raising the cost on everybody to do so, and trying to foreclose on anyone who doesn't go along with it? [FL]

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 08:58 AM PST

    Technically it's a non profit corporation but the courts have been treating them as an HOA. The new board says now, that the board has to approve all members even though it's in the covenants that if you own the parcel you're in and that way they have been playing with vote counts.

    Only ideas I got is to try getting a class action together or like get my place designated as a bird sanctuary

    CT - As a bank employee, a customer cashed a check with me, and it bounced. He overdrew his account by over 25k and now I am being held responsible for his Overdraft bill (2,600).

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 07:41 PM PST

    Its not that I have to pay that back but given its the holiday and bosses are all over vacation, no one will tell me anything until all the bosses that need to be there return.

    This guy also did the same thing to a different bank, and said bank took him to court.

    I was wondering if there is anything I just be wary or mindful of legally before going into the meeting with all the big bosses.

    Police took my computer and have had it for almost a month

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 06:57 AM PST

    So my dad was caught with possession of cp, and he was taken to jail. The police came to my house with a warrant and took my computer. Two days prior I had reinstalled windows so I didn't have a password on it, this was enough for them to claim he "had access" to it so they took it. I've spent $700+ on this computer building it from scratch and I've had it for not even a year. For a 16 year old that's a lot of money to spend on something, just to have it taken away. I know for a fact he never used my computer, because he hated being in my room, but they seized it anyways. They said i would have it back around November 18th. its halfway into December and i haven't heard anything about it. Is there anything I can do to get my computer back or am I stuck needing to build a new one.

    Edit: I am from texas, i was told to put where i live so

    Asked to work 'volunteer shifts' as part of hiring process.

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 05:29 PM PST

    Hello, I have come here for advice since I'm not sure we're else to ask. I am currently looking for a job, or a second one to supplement income. I have been browsing jobs in my skill set and passion (animal related positions) and was approached via email by a dog boarding and day camp facility looking for people to work in thier yard and supervise the dogs.

    However, in thier email they told me as hard if the hiring process is will need to work two four shifts on back to back days without pay as a volunteer before knowing if I will be hired or not. Then go on to say it's not a ploy for free labour (they are very adamant it is not). I will only be compensated if I happen to be hired.

    My question is, is asking this legal? Or is it some work around of labor laws? I would need to take time off my paying job and lay for transit to a location I might not even be hired or compensated for.

    I am in California

    My mother is being held hostage by her abusive husband

    Posted: 14 Dec 2019 09:42 AM PST

    Long story short, my mother is dying from a glioblastoma and really can't communicate very well any longer. Her husband and I hate each other and since I was there everyday with my mom, he was pissed. Before she got sick my mother had filed for divorce but then the brain tumor happened. I have filed numerous reports on him to her drs office but they won't help. Last Sunday he told my confused mother that I wanted to put her in a nursing home. That's her worst fear. He took her phone and blocked my family and is telling all the relatives that I didn't want to be bothered by taking care of her so I was going to put her in a home. I can't even legally do that! So now my aunt and my moms husband won't let us see or talk to her. He even had her lawyer send me a cease and desist order. I feel like I'm in the f'ing twilight zone. I'm concerned for her physical and mental well being with him. Is there anything I can do to be allowed to see her?

    Can they really tell me to stay out of their dumpster?

    I dumpster dive to provide for myself and my family, only trash of businesses and such (so not like, family's trash) and have frequented my local large, private University's trash for some years now. Rich kids throw away the wildest things, I've been able to get clothes for myself and my teen, food that's not even been opened, a lot of household stuff—we lined our hallway with floor length mirrors and call it Versailles. Space heaters, blankets, lots of interesting books, even a full set of dishes. It's been a huge blessing for us! There have been times we would have gone hungry or without coats if not for the dumpster contents.

    The end of semesters are the mother-load for good hauls, so with the end of Fall semester and the beginning of Winter break, you bet your butt I was all up in those dumpsters.

    Well, somebody called the cops on me last night. Campus police came and acted like it was the nastiest thing. They tried to make me throw away the brand new case of Gatorade I found and the trash bag full of snack foods, but luckily I was able to reason with them. I assured them that I didn't want to steal people's personal info (their concern) and that I was just in it for the stuff.

    They were pretty skeptical and didn't seem very confident when they said I couldn't do that. I told them that I thought if you threw it away you gave away your rights to it, and the dumpster was in a street so seemed like public property.

    I would love to find out if there's any legal precedent or laws surrounding dumpster diving, I'm hoping I can find something that supports doing it that I can show them and they'll leave me to my trash adventures.

    [PA] A tree rooted on my property fell onto my neighbors property causing damage to one of their cars, and no damage to any of my property.

    It has been raining and I'm guessing a gust of wind took it down, it's uprooted. The tree was right on the edge of my property and fell onto a car so that the tree will need to be removed before the car can be towed. It fell in such a way where no damage was done to my property.

    The neighbors claim they've called their auto and home insurance companies and that they want to talk to mine, which is all good, I submitted a claim. I guess the question is, what can I expect? What's a worst case scenario? My thoughts are as much as it sucks for my neighbors, my property was not damaged so not my problem?

    Thanks!
