| Ex-wife harassing me over custody of daughter Posted: 18 May 2020 09:45 AM PDT posting for SO Located in Indiana, USA Ex-wife and I have been separated and legally divorced. She is remarried and living with him, while I am living with my long-term girlfriend. We share custody of our 2 year old daughter, 40/60. We went to the court because I wanted 50/50, but she wants 80/20 (in her favor) the judge said keep doing 40/60 until she made a decision. (covid has postponed the final decision) Every single day is a fight. She harbors so much resentment and argues with me constantly. Whether it's her day to have our daughter or mine, she doesn't stop contacting me. It's usually verbal harassment or threats. Legally, I'm abiding by the custody agreement. But it's not what she wants so she fights me on it constantly and will say things to our daughter to sway her feelings. I am sick of being pulled through the wringer every single day for doing nothing wrong. Legally, is there anything I can do to stop the harassment without jeopardizing my custody with my daughter?

| The restaurant where I work is using our tips to pay bills. Posted: 17 May 2020 10:28 PM PDT I work at a restaurant in Texas that qualified for a PPP loan. We are currently receiving a paycheck that is a set amount based on what we made in the year leading up to the shutdown. The money for our paychecks is coming from the loan and we are guaranteed pay for 8 weeks. We recently opened up for curbside and delivery orders and all orders are placed online with an option to tip. People have been tipping very generously and all the tip money is going directly to the restaurant to pay their bills. Tomorrow, we are opening up for full service on our patio and it will be the same situation, all tips going directly to the restaurant. While I am grateful to have a paycheck, I can't help but wonder the legality of the restaurant keeping all our tips. Any knowledge on the PPP loan would be much appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| my brother is sexually assaulting me Posted: 18 May 2020 06:26 PM PDT hello, my brother(15)has down syndrome and has been slapping and grabbing my butt for a while now and my mom doesn't seem to think it's that big of a deal an recently he's been grabbing my boobs. earlier today he grabbed my crotch and it really pushed me to the breaking point. my mom seems to think it's not as big as i'm making it and says i'm being over dramatic. i think she thinks i'm making this up so i can get him out of the house or something. earlier today when he grabbed my but, he ran away and i ran after him so i could talk to him about how disgusting that is and i accidentally left a mark on his neck. i feel really bad about but this mark is now a big problem cause i can't tell the cops or else my mom said i would get in trouble with the law. this may seem like a classic sibling case from afar and my mom has told me time over time that since he is special needs he can't learn. the most dangerous part of this all is that he is extremely high functioning, so it's like a mix of a normal hormonal teenager and a special needs kid who can't learn. so you have a kid that is learning stuff from movies he shouldn't watch and then the special needs part preventing him from understanding it's wrong and it's fake in the movies. i don't know what to do and my bf is really distraught and thinks i should ask for help here. i'm scared he is gonna rape me (he's pinned me down twice before) or hurt me and my mom.

| My wife was moved from full-time to part-time but asked to maintain her prior (40+ hr) workload Posted: 18 May 2020 08:06 AM PDT She works at a consulting firm that charges their clients hourly. She previously worked at least 40 hours a week and on a phone call this morning her manager told her she has to maintain that same workload. When she asked about a set schedule her manager told her she needed to keep her hours flexible. Both of those seem shady to me and nothing is in writing. Her manager told her if she gets any pushback with this she would be let go so my wife is scared if she tries to ask for anything in writing that she'll be fired. She works in North Carolina. Any advice is appreciated, thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Found Spy Camera In rented house Posted: 18 May 2020 04:01 AM PDT So I'm a student I rent a room in a house along with 4 other student's we have been living together since Jan 2020 we all moved in the same month, and we all get along pretty well. I signed a year long lease pay 550 a month, the lease is basic it has no real restrictions on it. Because of the Stay at home orders I have not been able to see my GF for a long while she came to spend the weekend here with me it was great she got along with my house mates and it was a blast. Today I get a message from our landlord saying that guests are not to spend the night and that I'm getting a warning, any future guest can't stay. My house mates said they did't tell the landlord anything and it was odd 2 hrs after she leaves I get a phone call and a text with the warning about guests. So I did a hard look around the house and found 2 security cameras hidden in smoke detectors. One by the main entrance and the other in the upstairs hall way I showed my room mates they are livid. I know this is not legal was wondering if I should call the police or talk to the landlord (Victoria BC) [link] [comments] |
| Glassdoor wants me to verify my company review -- does this mean a lawsuit is very likely? Posted: 18 May 2020 08:24 PM PDT I reviewed my former employer on Glassdoor and the company also responded (negatively) to my review. I few days later, I got a message from Glassdoor saying:
Since my post was already reviewed by the Glassdoor team when I originally submitted it, why are they asking again to stand by my words? Is it because they are highly concerned that it could lead to a lawsuit? Have they received a subpoena? I'm located in USA. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2020 10:20 AM PDT I'm a tenant, renting month to month in Texas. There are six people living in the house, this includes the landlord and his partner. They drive a semi truck for a living so it's not uncommon for one or both of them to be gone for weeks at a time, but this is their home when they are not on the truck. When they are here, the kitchen is always dirty and crawling with ants and roaches because they don't clean up after themselves. A few days ago the chimney was struck by lightening, which sent brick everywhere and left the chimney with a high probability of falling into my room or the back yard. In two weeks, the landlord and his partner will be going back to work. The chimney and roof will still be in need of repair along with other parts of the house, as it was built in the 1980's, loved for a few decades, then left stagnant and empty for 5-10 years before the landlord purchased it this past summer. This would be fine except for the fact that the landlord's mother will be moving her trailer onto the property to supervise the repairs. She will have full access to the house, as will her two dogs and special needs adult daughter. Even with the best of circumstances I wouldn't be comfortable with this arrangement, but the mother is an absolute nightmare of a human being. Think the kind of person that shouts at and belittles teenage service industry workers. I also have three cats a dog, none of which get along with the mother's dog. So in addition to avoiding her in my own home, I'd also have to keep my cats in my room and my dog on a leash whenever she wants to go out. The house is not out in the country, but in a residential area in the suburbs and the trailer will take up half the back yard. I have not signed a lease. I was supposed to but the landlord never gave me one and I've been living here paying $1100 each month through Cozy (online payment portal) since December 1st. I have paid $1600 in deposits. Is there any way for me to get out without waiting the full 30 days or losing my deposits? [link] [comments] |
| The guy who bought my car wants his money back Posted: 18 May 2020 04:48 AM PDT I sold my car to a guy the other day, he came and inspected it, took it for a test drive, looked under the hood etc. Today he began texting me and trying to call me telling me he wants his money back or for me to pay to get an issue with it fixed. I should add that I told him about this issue which is that it makes smoke particularly upon first starting it for the day. It gets quite smokey and then it goes away. He is now telling me I have 24 hours to send him several hundred dollars for a repair or he will come and collect it from my house. I should add that the total price I charged him was less than a few thousand dollars. How should I proceed? TLDR: the guy who bought my car is threatening to come and get repair money from me for an issue I told him about before buying the car [link] [comments] |
| Mortgage company did not pay my homeowners insurance Posted: 18 May 2020 08:28 AM PDT Hello Reddit. Am in need of some advice as to what to do. I have been with this mortgage company for the past 2 1/2 years. I received a letter in the mail on Friday saying that my insurance has lapsed due to no payment. I have an escrow account with them and they should have paid it as I have never missed a payment and have always been on time. I called this morning to try and get to the bottom of the issue but they said they have no way other than e-mail to get someone to call me about the issue and said it can take another 5-7 business days. They did say they would escalate the issue so maybe only two more business days, but that is just unacceptable for me to sit around with no coverage on my house waiting for something to happen. Is there any other recourse I can take? [link] [comments] |
| Unknown property line, neighbor took down fence that enclosed our yard - WA state. Posted: 18 May 2020 02:34 PM PDT My husband and I bought a fixer upper with a gnarly fence but fully enclosed yard. We figured we could get another two years out of the fence while we replaced the roof, furnace, etc. The developer next door tore down the fence without our consent. In fact, we had explicitly said we had no budget to replace the fence as we had just done the roof, furnace, all flooring, etc and we needed them to respect the line. We were polite and neighborly. The next day the fence was down. We put up plastic fencing but the dogs are getting out and it's a shitshow. We haven't had a survey. We suspect the fence is theirs as we have the blueprints to the house and those indicate the fence/property line. Those permits were stamped by the city in 1976. We believe them to be accurate. My question: I'm reading that because our yard was fully enclosed they had to give notice to us prior to tearing it down. And at that time we could have said no, not without a survey, and then they would have had to get a survey. Is this true for WA state? How do o navigate this? My husband is still working but I am recently laid off, thanks virus. We have two small children and do not want to spend money on renovations as we are hoping to keep our home through this economic collapse. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Is it illegal for a parent to take their child's benefits Posted: 18 May 2020 11:44 AM PDT I'm 20 living with parents, just before the pandemic hit I was about to start work and move out. Suddenly it hits, and I get on benefits. This is great, I finally have some responsibility with my money and I can start saving up to move out. My parents have taken all $3,500 of my payments in the excuse of "rent" when they're both getting the exact same payments on the same schedule. I'm happy to give my parents money, but it has gotten to the point where I moved 1,500 of MY money to a savings account and they barged into my room at 4am demanding I give them all 2,000 of my payment. I live in Sydney, Australia Is there any legal basis I can use to refuse my parents? [link] [comments] |
| Need Help regarding our Foster Daughter Posted: 18 May 2020 08:07 PM PDT Need Legal Advice as a Resource Parent Cross Posted to /r FosterParents and /r CPS TLDR at bottom. So I'm in need of some help rather hastily about what I should do about a child that's about to be taken from my fiancé and I. This is in New Jersey. It's been a long drawn out affair dealing with the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP). My fiancé has a step sister who had a child taken from DCPP from the moment she was born. The reason for this was due to the fact that the step sisters boyfriend murdered her 3 year old daughter (not his), and then married him. (A year later he was finally charged and put away for the murder and armed robberies he committed.)When they did the autopsy, they found the 3yo had other significant injuries that were all aged differently. The division came in and took in the newborn and she has been in the States custody for her entire life (2 1/2 presently). The step sister was not been in this child's life until she was 1 1/2 and was required by the division to do court ordered visits. She had a long history of missed visits and cutting visits short, and then in April/May of 19 her lack of effort resulted in the the Judge moving forward with adoption. By July, the Judge changed it back to Reunification because for three months our case went without having a case worker and was thus neglected. The case supervisor was supposed to submit paperwork to the Judge regarding something the Sister was supposed to get done and did not, so the case flipped back. This enabled the Sister to complete whatever she did not, but also enabled her Public Defender to continue pushing for extensions. Then the court granted her unsupervised visits out of thin air. Of those unsupervised visits, there were a few different cases of neglect or abuse (food poisoning, putting baby in hot water bath tub, bruises). After the bruises happened we notified police and made a report of it and took the baby to a Cares center to have her evaluated. Cause for concern was raised by the professional due to the baby's answers given when asked about being hurt (the baby is pretty well spoken for her age) and unsupervised visits were revoked. She had a couple supervised visits and then the pandemic happened. This resorted to FaceTime calls every day, to which she misses or cuts short. Some of the time is due to the baby flat out telling her "I don't want to talk to you anymore". The public defender has now been harassing the courts to get emergency hearings and even going as far as coming after my job as for the reason why the baby should be removed from our home. There is so much more (that my fiancé also has well documented) that explain why this mother is not fit to be a parent to this child and now they are rushing for a reunification this Friday without going through the proper procedure of the reunification process. This mother has nowhere to live, was evicted from her apartment and has been FaceTiming the baby from the car, lied about getting a house for the past two months, and continues to manipulate the system. The law guardian is usually no where to be found. We have to hunt him down before every court hearing. He usually understands what's going on and says he'll do what he can, and then comes out of court and just shrugs his shoulders at us and says they are gonna do what they are gonna do it's in the judges hands. He's not a voice for our baby and we just don't understand what it is his job actually is. We have spoken to three different lawyers and they either looked at us as being too young and not having the money to retain a lawyer, or spend an hour trying to convince us it's not worth trying to fight the division. Is there anything anyone can do or anything we can do to protect this child? We have tried talking to so many people and it seems like everyone's hands are tied. Tl&dr - DCPP tells us the judge is fed up and plans on reunifying our foster daughter with an unfit parent and we don't know what to do. [link] [comments] |
| I need advice on leaving my toxic family/country. Posted: 18 May 2020 04:09 PM PDT For context, I'm currently about to turn 18 and I live in the United Arab Emirates. I come from a very well-known Muslim family, I've always had all these expectations and responsibilities placed on me as I'm the eldest out of my siblings. For a long time, I had accepted the fact that I would never find my own happiness. I would just have to deal with living a very mundane life that's pretty much been planned out for me by my parents. A few years ago, I was struggling with my mental health and I ended up missing many school days. My own mother told me that if I didn't get my life together that my dad was going to lose his patience and if he wanted to, could kill me and no one would be able to do anything about it. To add, I have a very close friend who lives in Germany. Both she and her mother have offered to take me in should I ever decide to leave. Now, the thing I want advice in is how do I pull off leaving my family safely and without them potentially tracking me? What kind of documents would I need? Are there laws in the UAE that would allow them to find me/bring me back? If so, is there like a specific age I need to be where they're not allowed to do that? (If there's a better subreddit I should post this to, please feel free to share!! I already posted this in the advice subreddit.) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2020 05:16 AM PDT Someone has submitted a number of DMCA notices against videos I have on YouTube showing gameplay in a computer game. The person has left comments on multiple videos I have saying he intended to make claims against the videos, and now that the first copyright strike has come through, the username is indeed his. The person is (or was at some point) another player in the game; none of the videos are of him or mention him in any way, they're simply gameplay footage. The person also has nothing to do with the development or publishing of the game. As far as I can tell, he's a troll. The person has previously used DMCA notices against other players of the game to get their personal details, which he has subsequently posted online (full name and address) and also used privacy complaints to try to remove other players' gameplay footage. Obviously, I want to submit a counter-notice and defend myself, but I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm prepared to lawyer-up, finances allowing, if necessary. What should my next steps be? (I'm an American currently overseas, the other person is an American in California) [link] [comments] |
| Virtual preschool deposit refund refused Posted: 18 May 2020 02:30 PM PDT Suffolk County, NY. My 2 year old daughter was due to start preschool in September 2020, we chose an outdoor Forest School for her since we wanted that kind of experience. Registration was 2 months tuition due upfront. Contract states nothing about extended closures, or virtual classes. Contract states under withdrawal that should a parent choose to withdraw their child a months notice is due and the school will begin a search for the replacement for the loss of the student, should a replacement be found no monies will be further due by the parent, should one not be found then the parents will be liable for full years tuition. Contract states no refunds for any reason. Although daycares can remain open in NY, this one has chosen to offer only virtual classes using zoom. The teachers give lessons and learning tasks for the families to complete with the child, from home. Turning our minds to this because I just lost a close relative to covid and my husband is high risk, I realized I don't see the pandemic going away and also- on another hand, I don't see virtual school working for my daughter either. My husband is an essential worker and is risking his life at work anyway, so we would consider Forest School if it were offered and almost fully outdoors as advertised... we'd consider that... but what they are now offering- virtual preschool for a 2 year old for $450 a month three days a week and 9-12, yeah, no. We definitely didn't sign up for this.... I guess it's a mix of not liking being backed into a corner and forced to take something you didn't ask for and on top of that having to pay for monthly doses of that. I asked the director what was going on, and about a refund, she said to give the situation time and said my daughter has her space secured for September... can anyone offer any guidance here? Idk if I should take this as far as small claims court or if the school would countersue for the years tuition. I don't need any more stress than I already have. Any ideas for recourse? I thought to ask here, not sure if I'm in the right spot. Thank you in advance for your help... it's a crazy time, stay safe. [link] [comments] |
| (CA) locating child support order for deceased father? Posted: 18 May 2020 08:01 PM PDT Hi legal advice, My father passed away and I've found out I have a half-sister somewhere in California. Apparently my father fled the state to Oregon after the mother filed for child support sometime in the 80s. Is there any way I could find the child support order? I looked on PACER but nothing pulled up. I would like to get in touch with my sister and let her know what's happened, if she would care at all, can't blame her if not. Thanks for your help, hoping this doesn't break the sub rules but I really don't know where to begin here. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 18 May 2020 04:58 PM PDT Located in upstate NY. Me and my ex have been broken up for almost two years now (we ended on horrible terms). We dated for 2 years and lived together for over a year. During the time when we lived together, I added her to a few of my accounts to use (e.g., Macy's, Walmart, Amazon prime). When we broke up, I removed her from my accounts, and thought I had removed all her info (addresses, payments, etc.). However, I was mistaken. ~8 months ago, she reached out accusing me of stealing by charging $8,000 on her credit cards, and said she would call the police unless I paid her back for. I was extremely confusd and angry that she accused me of something that I did not do, however when I checked my accounts I realized that my Macy's purchases over a span of a few months did accidentally get charged to her card instead of mine (I recently moved and had a lot of weddings the past year, which is why the charges were so much).. I apologized profusly for my mistake and paid back the full amount. I didn't hear from her again after that. Now, months later I am receiving emails from Macy's that my account has been temporarily closed/locked due to fraudulent charges and that I have outstanding balances that need to be paid off because she requested chargebacks from her credit card company (I'm not sure if she requested these before or after I repaid her). I reached out to her several times to ask her to cancel the disputed charges or to give back my money to pay the outstanding balances. But she's unresponsive even though I know she's seen my messages (read receipts). I also reached out to Macy's to explain the situation and provided proof of my repayments to my ex - they were very understanding and said this is pretty common. They said they'd reach out to her, but still haven't heard back after a few weeks. TL;DR
What should I do now? I want to resolve this asap, but am concerned that if I try to take legal action (small claims court) that she will try to press criminal charges against me as retaliation. Also, is it considered extortion that she threatened to call the police unless I repaid her in the first place? [link] [comments] |
| Getting ripped off by a jewelry store who refuse to return my property (TX) Posted: 18 May 2020 07:51 AM PDT Back in January I took my 22 year old Omega SeaMaster Professional watch (that I've owned since new and has huge sentimental value to me) to the only jeweler in my city listed as an authorized jeweler on Omega's website. They sent it off, after a few weeks I got a call with the options and I settled on a full service and also ordered an Omega Speedmaster to the tune of $7K. Watch is worth over $3K after a full service, so I'm out over $10K. Pandemic happened, I had the salesman's cell number and I texted and called him to see what was happening with no reply. Their website went offline, store closed, their store phone voice mailbox was full up until a few weeks ago, and Omega dropped them as an authorized dealer. I got scared about 3 weeks ago and initiated a charge back on my card (not resolved yet) and about a week later I noticed their website was back and when I called the store I could leave a message. No response. They still have my watch and $7K and I cannot get in touch with them at all. Can I involve the police as they have basically stolen my watch? Or do I just lawyer up and take that route? I realise I may have shot myself in the foot with the chargeback but it's been over 4 months and they simply won't talk to me. [link] [comments] |
| Ex-Girlfriend is threatening to press charges if I don’t move out of our house. Posted: 18 May 2020 03:42 PM PDT Last year, I moved into a house with my then-girlfriend and 2 other female roommates in GA, USA. We all signed the lease. At the time, I covered the deposit for myself and my girlfriend. Since then, I have ended up covering the rent and utilities for her for a number of months while she was unemployed. I absolutely love the house we moved into, I furnished the entire place myself and built a raised garden bed in the backyard. Little backstory.. my ex is diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and BPD, and she has history of mental illness and impulsive behavior. Recently, she was sent to a psych ward after a bout of psychosis during which she broke into a neighbors house and repeatedly trespassed on private property. Upon returning from the psych ward, she refused to take her medication and was unusually hostile towards me and our roommates. After a few days of this behavior and a couple arguments, we agreed that we should break up. Originally, she was relatively cordial and agreed that it would probably be best for her to move out. Then, out of the blue, she tells me that she "knows" that I cheated on her with one of our other roommates while she was in the psych ward, and therefore I should be the one that moves out, not her. This kind of irrational behavior is common for her, as BPD, as it is associated with paranoia and impulsive/intrusive thoughts and beliefs. When I refused to move out, she threatens to press charges on me, saying that she will make up claims of domestic abuse and suddenly saying that she is "afraid for her safety" living with me. I have been so incredibly supportive and kind to her throughout this entire experience, and it shocks me that she would suddenly act so cruel toward me. I know that the claims aren't true, but I am worried about having to face charges. What is my legal recourse? Should I just move out? Any advice is appreciated. TL;DR: Mentally unstable girlfriend breaks up with me, says I need to move out of our shared house or she will press charges. [link] [comments] |
| [Illinois] Pilot furloughed from airline which received CARES Act money Posted: 18 May 2020 11:18 AM PDT The title sums up the situation. On 04/30/2020, I was furloughed from an airline involuntarily due to the Covid19 crisis. On 05/12/2020, the airline I work for (ExpressJet Airlines, a regional airline that partners with United Airlines) received grant money through the CARES Act. A stipulation of this money was to prohibit layoffs/furloughs through September 30, 2020, by funding 75% of payroll expenses. My issue: I question the legality of this move, though IANAL. In addition, I believe through furlough betrays the spirit of the law even if it was legal. What recourse do I have, if any? Thanks for reading [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 18 May 2020 02:58 PM PDT My estranged father passed away in Los Angeles in December of 2019. I found out in January and contacted the Los Angeles County Coroner's office to find out that If I wanted his remains I could contact a mortuary, or I could pay 400$ and sign paper work saying I can't afford to pay a mortuary —I did neither. I'm a student who is struggling and to be honest I couldn't afford anything, especially taking into consideration I haven't seen my deceased father in almost a decade. In light of being financially strained, I asked his mother (my grandmother) to take care of this, which she was fine with and ended up paying a mortuary to handle his remains. Fast forward to today (May 18 2020), I have received a letter from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office which says I owe them 400$. Keep in mind I didn't sign any paperwork and I didn't receive his remains. I have contacted the coroner (over the phone and over email) and they said they are looking into it, but should I be doing anything else to make sure this doesn't get sent to any collection agency (I just built my credit score up and would hate to have this destroy it). Thank you for any advice. [link] [comments] |
| Neighbour is torturing me with sound Posted: 18 May 2020 03:38 AM PDT I'm in Ontario Canada I live in a small building with about six apartments. My neighbour has a grudge against me. He used to harrass me for just about any noise I made. I hadn't even met him at that point. He yelled at me through the walls nonstop until I talked to the landlord. Its an old building, sound travels. Prior to covid my roommate and I worked a lot of varying hours, night shifts. My neighbour absolutely hates that I dare to live on a different sleep schedule to him. He started to play EDM loud enough to physically hurt my ears like i was at a concert. I complained about that too and it went away. Since the quarantine he was been playing very low and very high frequency audio all throughout the day and night. If i do anything that slightly upsets him (basically just exist), he turns it up louder. Its noticeable on an audio spectrogram. Some of it is audible while some of it can only be felt, usually in the form of vibrations or pressure in my head when i enter specific rooms. It is most noticeable in my bedroom (probably on purpose). It vibrates my entire body and is making me physically ill. I get massive headaches, nausea, and anxiety. I often go multiple nights without sleep. My body is now trembling in a similar but less intense way to the vibrations whenever I am not in the apartment. I also suspect it is damaging my hearing. I need good hearing for my job. Is there anything I can do legally to put an end to this? I've sent an email to my local police so far. I also posted this on r/legaladvicecanada. I don't think my landlord will be of any help. Edit: last night was probably the worst and now that its day time he keeps turning the volume of his EDM constantly up and down. Louder each time and then quieter. I also want to mention that there is a family with young children whom he is probably trying to subject to this as well. I haven't complained yet because I'm scared of how he will escalate things. Every single time i complain he has managed to escalate it worse than i could ever imagine. Edit: i have been to an audiologist a couple years ago. I have an accurate report on my range of hearing (which was pretty damn perfect at the time ) [link] [comments] |
| Moved across the country while pregnant, and now want to move back and take our baby with. Posted: 18 May 2020 02:04 PM PDT I am 9 months pregnant and living in California with my boyfriend. Our baby on the way was unplanned, and we had a somewhat rough relationship for the year and a half we were together prior to me getting pregnant. Just a lot of petty fighting, drinking, etc. We both seemed to get our act together for the most part when I got pregnant. I obviously don't drink or go out anymore, and he really limited himself when we found out. Our fighting had its ups and downs, but overall improved most likely because we were no longer getting drunk together. I am from Illinois, and my entire family is still there. Midway through this pregnancy, my boyfriend and I decided to move to California to be closer to his family. When I was 7 months along, we were officially in a lease here and settled. Case closed. We were starting over. I'm not sure if it was the pregnancy hormones or the fear of being stuck in Illinois forever that made me move, but I regret it every day now. I miss my family, the support, and with this virus going on now it's nearly impossible to go out and meet anyone in this new area. I strongly hope that my boyfriend and I get married someday, work through our issues, and become a happy family. However, this seems more like a fantasy than reality. We have been fighting more than usual once again, and have been experiencing issues that I don't know will ever be resolved. I've been strongly considering flying back to Illinois to have this baby, however I don't think it's practical. My question is, if I want to move back to Illinois, would I be able to take our baby with me? I have a feeling if he is born here, I wouldn't be able to take him to Illinois for more than a visit without my baby's fathers approval, or without first going to court. This is assuming we break up. I have no idea where to go from here... I just feel completely trapped. [link] [comments] |
