| Posted: 14 Feb 2020 04:08 PM PST I recently purchased a lakefront cabin with a private dock. The cabin is located at the end of a peninsula. This Sunday, I visited it and discovered about 10 people on the frozen lake and a giant pickup truck parked on my property. As I was getting out of my car, the neighbor (whom I never met) walked passed me with her two dogs and a pizza and approached my dock. I saw a guy from the group of ten meet her on my dock and she gave him the pizza. I told them they were on private property and that they were trespassing (even though there's signs saying so) and the guy seemed understanding, but the neighbor replied "I've been doing this for 8 years." At which point, I replied, personally I didn't care, but what I didn't want was the liability of someone possibly getting hurt. They didn't reply and I left it at that. They did move the truck but I left so I don't know if they moved anything back or continued to use my dock. What kind of liability and I looking at here? How should I best protect myself? Also, in Massachusetts, the Attorney General has decided not to prosecute some crimes, trespassing being one of them. I don't know what bearing, if any, this may have. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2020 12:41 AM PST You can read the whole story on my r/relationship_advice posts but basically my mom's church group is running a campaign to "take back the swastika" and I was asked to bake cupcakes for a bake sale to support the cause. I own a small bakery, open 6 months at the time with only myself and 1 other employee (who I had to since let go because of this mess). I of course declined because I was not making swastika cupcakes and I was not supporting something as crazy as this. In the past, I had donated cupcakes to the church group for some of their other fundraisers such as raising money to update the local library or supporting arts and music in schools. After a whole bunch of nonsense I had gone to talk to with the reverend about how fucking stupid the whole campaign was, which was a huge mistake. After I talked to him he updated the church's website to say "Thanks to Bakery Name for her continued support of our charities." I only found out after the whole nazi church group got a lot of (jusitified) hate from our community. Since then I have arrived at my bakery to find the word Nazi written in spray paint. I got security cameras, hired a lawyer, let go off my only employee so she didn't get caught up in the hate. My lawyer has been working his ass off trying to get my name removed from the church website. The problem is that this whole nazi church group is getting big and I worry it will soon be on national news. 90% of my business is from out of town (wedding cakes mostly) and if this story makes national news, I am worried my bakery will be dragged through the mud when I have done everything to distance myself from the insanity that is the nazi church, including not talking to my mother. I want to know if there are any complications from potentially suing a church. Maybe for defamation (?) or libel. Or maybe for loss of business if this goes bigger and they are still refusing to remove my bakery name from their website. Of course I will bring everything up with my lawyer if this is the way I decide to go but I want to know any complications beforehand. [link] [comments] |
| I’m out thousands of dollars because a Ford recall happened after my accident. Posted: 14 Feb 2020 05:05 AM PST My wife lost control of her car on the highway in suburban Chicago on Saturday and crashed into the guardrail. Thankfully she wasn't hurt, but our Ford Flex was totaled. When I arrived on the scene I could see that the drivers side rear suspension was broken as the wheel was tilted out. When she explained that the car suddenly lost control and started wobbling hard and sent her across 4 lanes of traffic into the guardrail, it sounded to me like a mechanical failure. She is an excellent driver, the roads were clear and little traffic. So we called the insurance company and they decided the damage was not worth fixing and totaled the car. So I'm out of pocket for the rental, the deductible, and the difference between what a replacement vehicle would cost and what the insurance company valued our car at. Last night a friend mentioned that Ford is issuing a recall that addresses our exact issue. Is it worth going after Ford for my financial loss? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2020 04:34 PM PST As the title states. Stbxw gets mail at my house and states she's not going to the post office to change her address until the divorce is final. She has not lived here since the beginning of November. She is not on the lease anymore. She contacted our landlord and told him she wanted off so he revised our old lease and now I'm the only occupant of the house. I was ok with this as I assumed it meant she wouldn't be around since she's not liable for it anymore. My question is Am I able to take the mail she is getting and go to the post office and give them her new address? She lives with her boyfriend and I know the address. Or can I take her mail put it all in a box and ship that to her? Just want her to not have an excuse to come around. Divorce is hard enough I just want one less thing to worry about. Any advise would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2020 02:56 PM PST Hello! Buckle up, this one's kinda long. A little background, my boyfriend and I purchased our home in September of 2019. Our experience with the sellers was tense, as they accepted our offer during negotiation and then tried to pass off shoddy repairs that did not pass inspection. Everything was eventually repaired successfully, but we've since discovered more things that they falsely represented or outright lied about (i.e. not only was the pool not winterized, it also has a huge leak). Overall our home buying experience was pretty rocky, but we really love the property so we accepted its flaws and moved on. Since we moved in, we have continued to receive mail and packages for the old homeowners, both personal and for a marketing business that the husband ran out of the garage. We have been marking all mail "Return to Sender, No Longer Here" and putting it back in the mailbox, but packages tend to be trickier because we have received them both through USPS and FedEx. At first I scheduled return to sender pick ups, but it started to get extremely irritating, so a few packages ended up sitting in our foyer for awhile. In December, the old homeowners reached out to us through our realtor to say that there would be a large shipment of FOOD arriving at our doorstep within the next few days, and requesting that we text the husband directly as soon as it arrived to come pick it up. My boyfriend and I both work full time jobs, and certainly weren't going to stay home to watch for this shipment. We do have a Ring doorbell, but aren't comfortable with the old owners just showing up to wander our property and pick things up off of our porch. We reluctantly agreed that I would text the owner once we put the packages at the end of our driveway, but made it clear that they were not to visit the property without our permission. The shipment turned out to be several HUGE boxes, and we put them all at the end of the driveway (along with the other packages that had accrued). I texted the former owner, he came and picked them up, and we hoped that that was it and we could go on living our happy lives. Since then, the former owner has texted me every so often to inquire about packages arriving. We have only received one package since December, and I did place it at the end of the driveway when he asked. We still receive A LOT of his business mail, including tax documents, but have marked all of them return to sender, and he has never asked about non-package mail before. This morning, he texted me saying that he has attempted to "get his companies to update the address on file," but that important mail for his business will likely continue to arrive at our home, and that I need to text him and let him know immediately if we receive any so he can come pick it up. I have not responded, as I find his request fucking ridiculous considering that we have lived here for SIX MONTHS on top of how courteous both of us have been to him through this entire situation. I have zero desire to continue to have contact with this man, especially considering what a negative experience we had while buying our home from him. My question is, what legal rights do we have if he continues to have packages delivered to our house? I would really rather not have to schedule FedEx return pick ups for the rest of my life. We are located in a Southeastern Virginia county if that helps. Thank you for any and all advice! TL;DR: bought a house six months ago, old homeowner owns a business and keeps getting packages delivered here, contacted us through our realtor to ask if he could come pick them up. It has since escalated to him demanding that I text him whenever packages or mail arrive. What are my rights? [link] [comments] |
| Can My ESA be Removed From a College Dorm in D.C.? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 08:20 AM PST I have an emotional support dog. it was approved by my school and the residence halls. i have had my dog for about three weeks at my university. someone's dog pooped in a lounge and they left it. the building manager said we have to removed all ESAs in the building by 5pm today or else. i did not get the emails she sent last week. i can prove it wasn't my dog because i never go to the lounge, not my dogs poop size/color, and it just wasn't me. is this allowed? i read over the contract i signed for my university and it doesn't say anything about this.

| Camera looking into dressing stalls at a store where many school-age girls shop at Posted: 14 Feb 2020 11:17 AM PST I live in California and yesterday I went to a popular store for middle school/high school age girls. While trying clothes on in the dressing room stalls (sans bra), I looked up and made eye contact with a security camera that looks into at least two of the three stalls. Because it is illegal to have security cameras in dressing rooms in California AND they have footage of what I am sure are hundreds of young girls, is there any sort of action I can take?

| Becoming a legal guardian to my adult cousin who doesn't seem to have a legal existence? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 08:44 AM PST TLDR: as the title says. My cousin is a developmentally disabled adult who can't live alone and needs a guardian. I'd like to be his guardian but it seems that his mom never registered his birth, so it's a mess. The whole situation is a huge mess, so I'll have to describe it in length. Apologies for the wall of text. This is about my cousin, let's call him Jimmy. Jimmy is a developmentally disabled adult. He's in his late 40s but has the cognitive abilities of an 8 year old child. He has always lived with his mother, she took care of him until she passed suddenly at the beginning of last year. Jimmy isn't capable of holding a real job, he does odd jobs for people in town and on the nearby farms and gets paid cash. He and his Mom lived on what little cash he brought home and what I suppose was his Mom's Social Security from how he describes it. They were very poor but were capable of buying the basic necessities, and their neighbors gave them second-hand clothes or things they didn't need anymore. From what I understand his Mom owned their house, which is quite small and in a derelict state, and some land were they have a few chicken and a garden where they grow vegetables. They are simple people from a rural area who live on very little. Jimmy is partially capable of living on his own, that is, he can do some basic cooking, do the laundry, the housecleaning and the groceries if it's a store he knows. He also takes care of the chicken and the garden. But he can't drive, can barely read, and is not really capable of functionning in an environment he doesn't know. He can't take care of anything like paying the bills, filing taxes, he doesn't have a bank account or anything like that. He's also shy and afraid of strangers. He keeps his cash in a box and knows not to spend more than he has but doesn't really have a fine grasp of how money works. I should add that he's the kindest person I know and a hardworking man who never complains about anything. After his Mom's passing, Jimmy stayed alone in their home, with no one to take care of him. He has lived there since then, about a year ago. I was out of state for years and only just came back and decided to go see how he was doing. I was shocked to see that although he has organized his life the best he could, he lives in absolute poverty. There's no working AC in his home, and no heating to speak of. He hasn't paid the bills, probalby doesn't know how to, so he has no electricity and no phone. Thankfully he has a well he can pump water from. He keeps himself clean but with no hot water. It's like he was living in the 19th century. He survives on what little he makes doing odd jobs, buys some groceries and eats the vegetables he grows and eggs from his chicken, but it's not enough to feed him properly, especially in the winter. It seems that he's been left to live alone after his mom died and has not reached out for help, and no one has given him a hand either. I was very surprised that he wasn't visited by Adult Protective Services or anything like that after his Mom's passing, he clearly needs help and is not capable of asking for it. He needs a guardian but doesn't have one. His mother was his actual guardian but that was never made official. He always lived with her and it looks like she never took any disposition about what would become of him after she died. She was a loving mother but she wasn't very socially adapted herself. I and my siblings are the last family he has. I'd like to become his guardian because I think he needs help but I know that he needs to go on living like he's used to, because removing him from his house would kill him. I don't think there's any way Adult Protective Services will let him live in his house but that's what he needs, with help from a guardian of course. His whole life revolves around his garden, his animals, fishing and taking long walks in the woods. He's capable of organizing his life in the conditions he's used to. However he completely shuts down when he's with strangers in places he doesn't know, I've witnessed that. Putting him in a home somewhere would be terrible for him. I inherited a house in a nearby town and I'm planning to settle there, so I could check on him, he seems to be OK with that. I've reached out to his Mom's church's pastor and he thinks he could have church members organize a "watch" to go see him regularly and help him. I thought I would help him get help from services, and help him file for SSDI because he's physically fit to work but can't realistically hold a job and he is disabled. But as I did so I wasn't able to find an ID, a birth certificate, a SSN or anything. I searched the whole house thoroughly but couldn't find anything. He doesn't have a driving license, or any kind of ID. He's never filed taxes or anything official like that. He has no idea what a birth certificate even is. I'm starting to suspect that Jimmy's mother never bothered to register his birth. That wouldn't be so surprising coming from her. So I have a lot of questions :

| Posted: 14 Feb 2020 03:58 PM PST There is this severely disabled kid in our universities club (we are in Florida USA) that has been causing issue after issue. Some of them include:
We have attempted to contact the disabled services at our university and were simply handed a 2 page sheet with pointers on how to handle him. Obviously this has not worked, he does not follow directions, and has to be asked several times to stop doing something only to do it again. The school will not provide him an aide, they say he is legally responsible for providing his own private aide. We are supposed to have a meeting with them and him to discuss what to do but they are likely to tell us there is nothing they can do. I am not sure what to do, we can't handle him at this club because we do not have the training to handle him and it is incredibly exhausting. It is taking a toll on club members health and everyone is constantly fighting due to stress. I don't know if we can be held responsible for having him there with his level of disfunction, and we are considering asking him to leave but we also don't know if we will be held legally responsible for "discriminating" and not allowing him access to something other students have access to.

| I was asked to leave 2 weeks after telling my supervisor I’m pregnant. Posted: 14 Feb 2020 09:19 AM PST So a little bit of background, I have been working for my company for nearly 4 years in a predominantly male industry. In October of last year I had my annual review and it was 6 pages long of complaints about my technical performance, budget issues with projects, and misuse of a flex schedule policy. Not. One. Piece. Of. Praise. Harsh, considering my previous annual reviews never had a single complaint. Prior to my review, there were no one-on-one conversations with any of my direct managers about any of the concerns listed in my review. HR had serious concerns with how my review was handled and asked me to have a separate meeting to go over concerns I had and identify ways that they can clear the lines of communication between team members. Two weeks after my review, I set up a follow-up meeting with the three managers to establish clear lines of communication moving forward including metrics/tools for tracking projects and establishing follow-up guidelines if an issue arose with a project, client, or internal conflict. Additionally, any and all time out of office was (although previously occurring) documented on my calendar with any leave longer than a day confirmed prior to my departure (which again, was already occurring). Everyone was in agreement and I was informed the information would be passed along to HR (which I later found out was not). We agreed to a follow-up check in later in the year, which happened in December before the holidays. At the December meeting each manager noted improvement with work and time in the office. There was no mention of budget, therefore I brought the discussion up since it was a previous performance concern to which each manager responded that the financial reports are delayed a month and they had not reviewed at that point, but nothing stood out as a concern. One note was made about continuing to improve internal QA/QC, which I requested a process for and was told that they weren't trying to confine to one method. I mentioned that if I am being requested to change my process, I would need more structure to my guidelines for improvement so we both understand the metrics for which I am being analyzed on, and they mentioned working on establishing clear goals for the team. All sounds well, right? All of the staff took time off for the holidays and I decided to work through. Once everyone returned from vacation, I told the team that I was 3 months pregnant and expecting in July. All seemed to finally be moving forward and well and then two weeks later my boss pulled me into a room with our HR rep and said there were three projects they had concerns about and although there were no behavioral issues or concerns with me as an individual employee, he felt it just wasn't working for the team and I had to be let go. When I asked why the project concerns weren't brought to my attention when the issue occurred, he said it didn't matter because a decision was made. When I asked if there was a group I could relocate to, HR said yes and my supervisor said No. My supervisor removed himself from the room and HR informed me that my division leader (my supervisor's boss) and her came to a sort of resolution where I would have a month to continue working, look for a new job, and still get paid while interviewing. My division leader wanted to hold a one-on-one meeting separately to address concerns I had. During my meeting with my Division Leader, I was consistently told that I was the resounding example of an employee that the company looked for and that there are concerns with my supervisor's handle of the situation but he needed to respect his decision for the team. He said because he is a young leader, he'll make mistakes and they need to work on training him on difficult conversations. I mentioned that he and HR both speak very highly of me as an employee, but yet my supervisor is reporting an opposite persona and how I'm supposed to take that kind of feedback when it conflicts by such large volumes. His response was: I don't work directly with you, therefore I cannot account for technical performance and unfortunately the company is not in a position that they wish to dedicate the time and resources towards training their employees. All of this information in mind: 1. The only two things that changed between December and January were the fact that I did not pass a licensure test (which is not required for my position) and I announced I am pregnant. 2. I worked on the company steering committee to develop the current maternity policy along with programs for Woman within the firm. 3. Whatever company I go to from here, I no longer am eligible for FMLA due to the one year probation terms. Is this grounds for a lawsuit or am I in over my head? I don't care about the company. I care about my time and compensation lost with my unborn child. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2020 06:56 PM PST I understand this is "the state vs -------". On the bases that ------- sexually assaulted my daughter when she was 14. But the DA isn't wanting any of the records (medical notes, bills, etc) he claims he subpoenaed for the documentation but not a single place gave him any records. I said that's fine I have a copy of everything I'll fax you copies as well. He told me not to worry about it. Those wouldn't help us . I called the medical office to make sure he did subpoena for them. Then, they tell me no one has inquired for them. A man trying to serve her a subpoena broke MY car window (i let her borrow it since hers is getting fixed) after trying to force it down to shove an envelope through it.(he wouldn't stop screaming at her in the video to let her say that the window doesn't roll up or down) The policeman that "supposedly" made the report said nothing criminal happened here, a server has to have room to do his job. Ive been looking for the report# written on the back of that cops card for months . I have yet to find it. They have gone to my wife's job and tried to get her fired telling HR lies that aren't true. The DA said the cops would have to reopen an investigation on the matter because the report he was reading stated no criminal act occured. So therefore it's useless to the DA. And I'll just have to pay to get it fixed.He wouldn't even watch the camera footage of the guy smashing the window and yelling. We have proof of everything. From records to camera footage of the assault. (That is assault correct? And criminal mischief?) No lawyer will give me the time or day because they don't believe the DA would just throw a case. But the defendant has political money backing him and I think people are getting paid off. WHAT DO I DO FOR MY FAMILIES SANITY AND SAFETY? Somebody please help us in anyway you can. I'm willing to answer any questions. The location is stated in my headline TX is abbreviated for : TEXAS [link] [comments] |
| Recently deceased Uncles girlfriend is neglecting his newborn baby. Posted: 14 Feb 2020 08:52 AM PST My Uncle has recently passed, leaving behind his newborn baby (4 Months) his girlfriend, and her child (3 years old). She depended on him and now that he's gone she's lost and neglects her children heavily. She is an unfit mother and is not trying to better herself. My grandmother offered to keep the baby until his girlfriend could find somewhere to live. The baby has been at her house pretty much everyday for a month anyway. Girlfriend got mad and woke the baby up at 1 AM, took her outside in the freezing winter air with nothing but a tshirt and diaper on, and left. My grandmother is worried sick about the baby and feels helpless like there's nothing she can do. She has tried reaching out to CPS and started the custody process. There's more than enough proof and evidence Girlfriend is not a good parent. But she feels as though its an emergency (which it kind of is- mother is unstable) Is there any legal action she could take to speed up the process? [link] [comments] |
| Is there anything I can do about my landlord running an illegal AirBnB out of our basement? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 08:36 AM PST Location is Washington DC. I'm a renter in a row house with a totally separate entrance to a basement apartment that my landlord allows a friend to run as an AirBnB. Sometimes the AirBnB is fine, but the friend doesn't do a lot of vetting to make sure that the people staying down there are going to be chill. We have a lot of people smoking cigarettes and weed that wafts up into our house, or blasting loud music late into the night, etc. Recently there's been an uptick if people banging on our door to ask for our Wifi or use our bathroom or our kitchen or whatever even though we're supposed to be entirely separate from the unit. The friend will supposedly tell the renters to leave us alone but it doesn't do anything to solve the long term trend. If I understand the new regulations that DC enacted last year, I think this AirBnB is illegal, as they only have a permit for a single family rental and the AirBnB is available 365 days a year. Aside from the AirBnB problem, my landlord is generally really good and I like my house. Is there anything I can legally do about this without screwing myself over (AKA having to move)? I could deal with this every once in awhile but it's gotten much worse over the past four months or so. [link] [comments] |
| [CA] - Step-son is being harrased daily by his father. Posted: 14 Feb 2020 05:42 PM PST My wife and I have legal custody of her son (10). We also have another boy (5). The older son's dad lives in AZ and has opened up a case against us to gain more custody of his son. He actually "kidnapped" him and held in in AZ and we were force to unenroll him out of school. After legal battle we regained custody and decision making for him and his dad is now required to take weekly drug tests. Currently his dad is allowed to have reasonable contact. We have set up a schedule for him to call everyday. I encourage his son to call and make sure we always remember to call because I would hate to not be able to have a relationship with my son. Everytime my oldest son calls he gets yelled at by his dad and is told to tell his mom how to act. My oldest tends to not say anything and get really depressed after every call. This has been an ongoing issue and it's starting to affect his younger brother and my wife and I as well. I want him to have a relationship but this is starting to become toxic. I asked my wife if we could take a break from phone calls this weekend but she is afraid he will take us back to court and we are afraid of spending more money. His dad is wealthy and constantly threatens us that he will outspend us in court. I genuinely try to have his dad stay in contact but in my opinion its crossing the threshold of abuse. What are my options here? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2020 10:29 AM PST Who's responsibility is this? I live on a third of an acre at the end of a cul-de-sac. When I bought my home about 10 years ago there was probably about 8 feet in between our fence and the creek. After a few heavy rainfall seasons it's getting washed away further and further, and now a corner of my fence is washed down to the cement supports, and it's only getting worse. Since the side of the creek is now on our property, does that make it our responsibility, or is it the original owners responsibility to have maintained it and not have let the erosion go so far onto my property? Located in Greenville County South Carolina. Thanks in advance for any advice! [link] [comments] |
| [California] Electric Company transferred my brothers massive outstanding bill into mine. Posted: 14 Feb 2020 08:47 PM PST 4 years ago I purchased a home in Northern California. At the time that I closed on the house I was traveling for work, so I verbally authorized my brother to talk to the electric company on my behalf to get power set up, as he was living up there and free to help. Fast forward 4 years, my brother is now working in a very "grey" industry (of which northern California is very well known for) and hit a rough patch, leaving him with a $20,000 electric bill that he was suddenly unable to pay on a property that he was renting - having nothing to do with my home. You can take a wild guess as to what he was doing on said property in order to rack up that bill, but regardless, that bill ended up going to collections. Now, as of this month the electric company has decided to transfer the entire balance of my brothers outstanding bill into MY electric bill, simply because when I authorized him to speak to the electric company, they claim that made him "financially liable" for my account. At no point did I ever tell the electric company that I agreed to be financially liable for any of my brothers debt. Is this legal on their end? Are there any resources for me to fight this? What kind of attorney would I need to talk to if I do need to pursue further legal action? Thank you for your help! [link] [comments] |
| Husbands judgement wiped out the balance of my sole account? Is there any hope? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 05:11 PM PST I'm freaking out because of course this happens on a Friday evening and the bank will only tell me to call the law office for details which is closed until Monday. Long story short my husband let several credit cards go to collections and then ended up having a judgement placed against him. He knows he screwed up and did not do anything right with his finances but we've been working on it together the past few years and slowly getting better. Not an excuse (just a reality) but he suffers from severe depression and anxiety. He was compulsively spending, spiraled out of control, and got himself into a lot of debt before I found out. I was going to see if he can declare bankruptcy but I'm not even sure if that will help with these judgements. We had two other accounts jointly that were garnished a few months ago but they didn't have much money in them. I did not think they could touch my account since his name is not on it. My payroll went in today and the entire balance was withdrawn showing a zero balance. I don't know where else to turn. Any advice is appreciated. I'm so upset I don't even know what to do. My husband feels like total shit and I needed to pay the mortgage today. Maryland [link] [comments] |
| 2nd Degree Manslaughter grand jury hearing coming up what should i expect? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 08:07 PM PST Hi guys, This summer I witnessed a 18 year old girl get hit by a boat while she was on a Jetski incidentally, killing her. It was a high velocity impact. I'm the main witness, I witnessed the whole event and was the person to attempt to revive her on a another boat. Today I received a call from the DA out if the blue asking if I could come in and talk to the grand jury. I'm nervous, because this is a difficult topic to talk about. Also, would I be able to get a copy of the police report I submitted? Is this not a good thing to do before the grand jury hearing? Thanks all This happened in Nassau County, New York [link] [comments] |
| Air Quality causing headaches and other issues. Posted: 14 Feb 2020 06:21 AM PST I have been at my a job now for going on over a year, we have a upper area of the machine shop, that is where i work, it wasn't designed for people to be up their all day, so there is no ventilation at all. So all the coolant mist, and smoke/steam from everything else thats getting manufactured on the shop floor in machines, carries and then settles up above where i work. Ive alerted management to this issue, they bought me a fan. Ive asked for air tests to be done, not gonna happen. All the filters and vents we have for the shop floor, completely miss up here. And actually seem to drive more lingering mist/smoke/steam up here for longer times, its always a continual fog up here. Needless to say since working here, ive developed nasty headaches randomly, a continual sticky throat(best way i can explain it) and i feel like i have horrible allergies randomly now(i never had allergies). Im not sure what to do. US, MA [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2020 07:13 AM PST I currently live in South Korea with my husband and 5 month old son. My son has my surname which is also my maiden name as I did not change it when I married. I'm in a somewhat abusive relationship (see previous posts for details) currently, and plan to go back to the UK next month when my family comes to visit. My husband does not know this as if he did he would take my son away from me and as his father is wealthy, they'd have such a good lawyer I'd probably never see him again. My question is, could I take my son back home without his fathers permission in my circumstances? Coming to Korea, I was never asked for his birth certificate, or a letter from the father so I'm wondering if it'll be similar on the way home. I don't want to be stopped at the airport and refused because then my husband would find out and it'll all be ruined. [link] [comments] |
| Can I sue the person who sold me a home for not disclosing removing a load bearing wall Posted: 14 Feb 2020 01:07 PM PST I bought a home in Virginia two months ago. I was a real pain in the butt to my realtor about this wall that was removed. She told me not to worry, If the wall was removed the contractor/seller has to disclose it. I was still not happy so I wanted to get out of the contract. My realtor gave me the number of her lawyer. Her lawyer said I would be sued big time if I broke the contract. I was not happy. The realtor set up the inspection and low and behold he said all is grand. Well one month later the house is cracking and splitting all over the place. Walls cracking, ceilings separating, tiles splitting, kitchen cabinets coming apart. I tracked down the contractor/seller and he did not exactly admit to removing the wall but he did know exactly what type of LVL beam was in put in there. Interesting. I called the county and there were no permits issued on the property. So now I am sick, tired and scared to death to live in a home that I just spent all my money buying. Do I have any recourse to get this home fixed by the contractor/seller? [link] [comments] |
| If your son gets arrested are you legally obligated to answer questions? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 02:17 PM PST My BIL got arrested for alleged arson. Is my MIL, who is with him at the hospital and lives with him, obligated to answer any police questions? The same applies for me (BIL) and my fiancé, his sister. GA [link] [comments] |
| [TX] Filing for divorce and my wife wants to sign a second lease. What am I obligated to pay for? Posted: 14 Feb 2020 05:25 PM PST We've been married less than 3 years. Throughout this time I have had the sole income and have put her through graduate school. She has been studying full-time for her career (i.e., not maintaining the household). This summer she will graduate with a doctorate and plenty of earning potential. We have no kids. Divorce is decided and soon to be filed. It will be a no-fault divorce. We rent our apartment. She claims that our apartment is uninhabitable to her for emotional reasons, even if I offer to stay with family and friends and leave her the place. She wants to leave the lease and sign a different lease with some friends. Emotionally, I would support her doing this, but she feels entitled (morally and legally) to a lot more financial support than I think is reasonable. Here are my questions: Between now and when our divorce is final:
During divorce negotiations:
After divorce:

| Posted: 14 Feb 2020 09:39 PM PST Located in Indiana. Coworker of mine has had many issues but this is the 3rd time in the last few months that her husband has found her new residence and broken into it while she is at work. This is the first time she actually called the police. The police are saying they can't remove him because he had a piece of mail in his possession with his seperated wife's address. She suspects he had to have sent a letter to himself at her new address because she had no mail in his name prior to this. My coworkers seperated husband is heavily involved with meth and that is why they became legally seperated. When the legal seperation was granted it stated that they will NOT be sharing a residence, and this new home she is leasing is in her name only. The main question here is... Is she powerless to have her junkie husband removed from her home until she gets an actual divorce, or is there something she can do now? My coworker is stuck at work here for several more hours and her seperated husband is fully aware and most likely very high on illegal substances, so she is obviously worried for her safety and possessions.
