| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 10:03 AM PDT TLDR: a guest threw a huge bash at my parents home and property was destroyed. So this girl reached out to rent our Airbnb for the weekend. It is my parents and sisters full time home and they come stay with me when they have guests. My parents aren't really in a good place financially and it's a good way for them to make extra money. The house rules state no parties or events. The security deposit is $5,000 and it states we can charge up to $50 per extra guest. Anyway, the girls said she and four other couples would be staying to have a goodbye barbecue for a friend that was deploying. My mom isn't really tech savvy and took her word for it without looking into anything further. About 4 pm this Saturday, we get a call from a neighbor saying that there are at least 40+ vehicles parked in our yard. My mom calls the guest and asks her to make everyone leave. She apologized and said word got out on social media and it got out of hand. Mom gets the sheriff to go up to the property and disband the party. So everyone leaves and the guest swears it won't happen again. Well, no much longer after my mom left, the people who left returned plus even more. By the time the sheriff got back out there at 11 pm, there were over 300 people partying in our home. Property is destroyed and the house is a wreck. The guest who booked it swears her innocence, but then we found an eventbrite posting with our home address on it and they were charging people a fee to come party on our property. My mom is very distraught. To top it all off, some people that attended the party left their grill. My mom said they could come get it for the past two days and they said no that wouldn't work. They got my mom's number from the guest and have been texting her non stop over it. Are there any legal ramifications here? Or is it their right to completely violate my mom's home and peace of mind like this? Also, the people who hosted it the event is called *** gang entertainment and they are seen pictured with guns, other weapons, and money on their social media pages. My mom is terrified that they will try to retaliate if she tries to hold them accountable and now they all know where she lives. She is so emotionally distraught. I feel so bad for her. We don't know what to do. We are documenting everything for Airbnb and keeping receipts but we heard Airbnb can be difficult to deal with this type of situation. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 11:27 PM PDT I am using my sister's account to post this. She understands reddit, I don't. She will be checking the post for updates for me. I live in Canada, they (ex and his new gf) live in the US right now. I have filed a police report in Canada, but I don't know what else I can do to get this to stop and to have them charged. The Canadian police don't seem to have many answers for me. Any advice would be helpful. Update: Thank you for all the advice so far. I totally understand why this was locked. Thanks for the explanation mods. [link] [comments] |
| Company lays off 80% of staff, including me, then sends a cease & desist letter once I find new job. Posted: 09 Jun 2020 12:06 PM PDT Company names aren't real but my request for advice is. I began work at T360 on January 6, 2020, as their Hotel Account Manager. The company sells virtual tour software to the travel and tourism industry. During my time there, I helped organize the CRM, setup regular communications with customers, and other processes needed to try and eliminate churn. With COVID-19 hitting the travel and tourism industry hard, I and 80% of the company were laid off on March 30, 2020. There were around 30 full-time employees and 75 contractors throughout the US, and they are down to 8. I live in Florida, and when I tried to receive unemployment, the system was overloaded, so I had no income for two months. Fortunately, a San Fransisco based company, SN, reached out to me, and after a few interviews, I landed the Director of Business Development. The company has a couple of overlapping similarities in that they provide virtual experiences, both sell to DMO's (Destination Marketing Organizations). However, their clients, technology, and use cases are very different. Not to get too detailed, but T360 is used more of 'clickbait' and embedded on sites to attract clicks and engagements. Their content is not interactive, low-quality, and can be best described as a step up from traditional 2D imagery sold specifically for DMOs and Hotels. SN is 4K, provides drone aerial footage, fully immersive, allows customers to use their own digital media on the platform (including T360). They also sell to Universities, Shipping Ports, and Housing Development companies. These are just some of the differences, and only two weeks into my role with SN, I received a very aggressive cease and desist order referring to my NDA and non-compete. To be clear, I have not violated any terms of the NDA, and I understand Florida is more strict regarding non-competes than most states; however, post-COVID-19 may be seen differently. After telling my current employer, SN, about the situation, my boss tried to be helpful. He spoke with his team and was appalled that T360 would take such aggressive action. Unfortunately, my resignation was suggested until I can resolve this matter, so currently I am unemployed. Attorneys I have spoken with said this costs anywhere from $30k-$50k, the high-end being going to court. Edit: removed companies actual name [link] [comments] |
| My mother forged my signature on an apartment lease once I turned 18. Posted: 09 Jun 2020 11:40 AM PDT Before I turned 18, I was living with my mother, grandmother and sister in an apartment in Leesburg, Florida. The apartment was in my grandma's name when I moved in at the age of 17. . I turned 18 while living at the apartment and recently found out that my mom forged my signature and added me to the list of occupants in the lease. My mom kept herself and my sister off of the list and when the lease came to an end, I am being hit with the charges for damage. I found out by regaining access to my Experian profile (since my mom used my social to make me that and a creditkarma account that I can't get access to at all since I don't have access to her email). I tried to contact the rental agency about this issue and was told that the loan account for $2,554 has been in collections for too long and has been transferred over to their collections agency. I was recommended that the only way I can deal with this is to either 1) pay off the debt and try to recover my credit or 2) report my mom to the authorities and pursue this in a legal way. I am in no means to continue any relationship with the rest of my family over this and want to take this to the furthest extent to get this removed off of my credit and not be liable for this. Where do I start in pursuing this in a legal matter? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 01:06 PM PDT My husband and I agreed that I would stay home with our son because childcare is expensive and my husband makes more money than I do. Since the birth of our son my husband has been extremely verbally abusive and I can not take it any longer because he is also saying things to our 1 year old like "i wish we would have aborted you", "you are stupid", "idiot"... Etc. My husband says similar things to me. We have been together for 5 years and married for two. In the state of NC you have to live separately from your spouse for at least a year before you can get divorced. We are currently financially dependent on my husband but both cars are in my name. We share a bank account, my son and I had a savings account but my husband withdrew the funds because he knows the password to my bank information. I don't think I am financially stable enough to separate but I want to work towards that. What can I do to ensure full custody when the time comes? What advice can you give from previous cases of divorce? I am not close to my family and have no where to go but I want to leave. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 06:13 PM PDT The company I am working for in New York is highly involved with the Black Lives Matter movement and they are making it mandatory to read books like White Fragility and then discuss them as a group. Whether or not my team and I adhere to this, is it legal for my employer to impose their ideology, including it as a mandatory task? What happens if I oppose? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 01:23 PM PDT Six months ago I booked a large house for my family of 7 for vacation. Yesterday, less that two weeks before our departure, the host cancelled because they decided they wanted to use the house instead (and actually said as much on the Airbnb platform messenger). They offered two double hotel rooms with a tiny kitchenette, and no common areas or dining room instead, which was completely unsatisfactory. And when I complained that this was unacceptable treatment, they cancelled my reservation and proceeded to insult me via text. Due to short lead time, reduced inventory, and specialized needs for number of rooms and beds (which is why I always book months in advance), rebooking cost me nearly twice what the original reservation did, a difference of $800. Honestly I was lucky I even found something that would work, and the host clearly had no qualms about leaving my family without a place to stay. Can I sue these hosts in small claims court? I've tried to appeal within the Airbnb platform but as far as they are concerned my only remedy—a full refund—has been given. But this is a significant financial hardship from a budget perspective. Not only that, the host was a bit of an asshole about this and I'm pissed. Airbnb would not even allow me to leave the host a negative review because I didn't actually complete my stay. The host lives in a different state from me, but I'm assuming I'd be forced to use their jurisdiction. But since I know the Airbnb terms of service include cancellation clauses, it may be difficult to argue they breached that contract. Thanks in advance for any advice. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 05:29 PM PDT My ex and I have a 10 month old baby together. We were not married but he is on the birth certify. 1 month ago he assaulted me by strangling me while he was holding our baby. I called the cops and he was arrested. He has not been to court yet. Since he had never been physical with me before that, it took a month for me to break up and kick him out. Now that he's been gone I did a background check on him and found multiple assault of a female charges and a habitual assault charge because he's done it quite a bit apparently. In 2007 he broke his gfs tooth by punching her in the face. He was arrested fo assault again in 2014, 2016 and 2020. There are two other incidents that I know about that the police were not called and he was not arrested. These are all things that he lied to me about or hid from me. I had no idea he had assaulted a woman before he strangled me. Every time he somehow gets away with no jail time and only has to do probation, restitution or a class. He also has two duis, he doesn't have a place to live and he signed away his rights voluntarily to another child (2nd child, mine is the 3rd). He took his oldest child from its mother and did not return her for two weeks until he was forced to do so by law. He's also 10k behind in child support. I am scared to death. I feel like my child will not be properly cared for and at the very least he would be negligent. He is an alcoholic, he has an interlock on his car but 9/10 he doesn't drive his car he borrows his moms car or ubers. What options do I have here? In a perfect world he could be the parent my child needs but it doesn't look like that will ever happen with him. Would the court grant him visitation? Would I be able to get his parental rights terminated? Can I put in a parenting plan that he has to attend parenting classes and do a breathalyzer when he picks up/not drink while he has my child? Can I put In a stipulation that if he is arrested for assault again his rights are terminated? I want to protect my baby. Even though he's not physically abusive to my child I do not want my child ever subjected to violence witnessing or being in the presence of it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 12:25 PM PDT FL, USA Where to begin? 5 years ago my dad began seeing a young woman. He started emptying accounts to pay her money. I believe she is a scammer who convinced him she cares about him so that he will pay her money and support her. She lives within 20 miles of us. Because of this he feuded with business partner and lost company. He accused business partner of being jealous of him. Throughout all of this he has denied everything and refused to admit any wrong doing. Mother has Multiple Sclerosis, has had breast cancer, spine surgery , and is mobile, but gets tired easily and has bad days with health. Needs wheelchair for stores, etc. When father got busted a few years ago he tried to get mom to go to another country to get treatment to get her out of the picture. She didn't go. He has been a total asshole though this whole process. He has lost most of his friends and is a religious leader in his community. Has been shunned by most. Mistress introduced him to her sister oversees and he started traveling oversees to see her and give her money. He has been hiding money and emptying accounts to spend on them. Mom didn't want to get divorce because their only assets are the house they live in together ($200k US), another small house they own ($100K), and few empty parcels of land ( 5 lots at $10k each). She didn't have money to spend on lawyer and was scared to follow through, because she didn't want to have too many lawyer fees. 18 months ago father had major surgery and was hospitalized for 2 months. Took over a year to be able to walk, not piss pants, sleep normally, etc. Mother and I spent entire year nursing him back to health 24/7. Almost lost my own family because all of the time I spent with them neglecting my own family. Mother is a saint and did everything for him. He is better now and back to his old tricks of hiding money, emptying pension accounts, refusing to pay own bills, so he can spend on these women. He is also addicted to xanax and was heavily abusing Oxycontin for the year after his surgery. I helped wean him off of Oxy, but he continues to take xanax which makes him erratic. Not sure if its actually his child but its due in July. He says he will put name on birth certificate and wants it to be his. There is a chance it is because I know he had viagra, condoms, and a penis-pump hidden in luggage when I visited. It's possible this woman had sex with him, but got pregnant by someone else. She just wants to get as much money as she can from him. He is antsy about money because he wants to support his new child. Other woman is not US citizen and is here on a visa with her husband ( more of a business partner, I know they both date other people). They claim they are religious refugees from eastern Europe. They are trying to become citizens. We are guessing that father will change his will so new child and mother get money. Father can barely take care of himself and mother is just a little better. This has torn my family apart put a lot of stress on us and mom the last 5 years as it all came out. He was an abusive drunk for most of our lives but had a great 10 year period where he was the best guy ever before he changed personalities and became a huge dick. OK HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS. I think mother should get divorce ASAP, instead of waiting for father to pass and then be in a dispute with mistress in will that might force sale of current home to buy-out mistress from what she is owed in will. What else should I be thinking about? How do I pick the right attorney? Do I get a consultation ASAP with one just to get some advice? Father fully intends to make mom's life living hell and will not agree to amicable divorce and even split of assets. Has always said he intends to keep everything and ensure mother is out on the street if a divorce happens. Help! Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to respond. [link] [comments] |
| How can I get information on an inmate in Wisconsin? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 11:50 AM PDT Not sure where to post or who to ask for help. Maybe I can get some direction here. My little brother was given a 9 month sentence at the county detention center. He went in on March 2, 2020. Everything was fine. We were talking on the phone every other day. He was sending letters to our family and we were all writing back. My mom and I made sure to put money on his books and phone account every week so that he could always call us. Due to COVID-19 visitation was suspended, but we still had pretty good communication via phone and writing. Around the middle of May, we stopped hearing from my brother. No phone calls at all, even though we've been putting money on his account. He stopped writing to us as well. This went on for a couple weeks, and I felt in my gut that something was wrong. My parents and I have called the detention center several times, and no one will give us any information on an inmate. We are not familiar with the jail system or how things work, and we aren't sure who we can talk to to find out if my brother is okay. Yesterday I got 2 letters returned from the county detention center. No explanation why. Why would they return my letters? There was no contraband, nothing in my letters about violence, racism, hate, etc. It was just me telling him about my daily life and mentioning that his cat had passed away. It's been nearly a month of no calls, no letters, nada from my brother. We are all worried sick. And now I've gotten 2 letters returned. What the hell is going on? Does anyone know who needs to be contacted or what steps I should take to get some information about my brother? Thanks for any advice. I'm really emotional right now and worried something bad happened to my little brother and no one will tell us anything. [link] [comments] |
| Landlord made up over $1500 in fake “damages” after I left a bad review online. Posted: 09 Jun 2020 09:01 AM PDT Chicago IL. Pretty much what the title says. Initially they had charged me $200. I told them that I wanted to dispute it. I have photos of my unit and emails prior to move out saying they would check the unit and let me know of anything that needed to be fixed. They never alerted me. I was so shocked when I got the 200$ bill that I followed up- sent my emails and photo proof. He said he didn't care and he was sending me to collections. So I went online and posted about the treatment. Then, magically, 2 days later my bill is 1500$!! He said they had to replace the refrigerator door because the damages were so bad. I have photos. There is not a scratch on it. I certainly didn't damage it. What am I supposed to do? I have perfect credit and a 1500$ bill in collections could hurt my chances at buying a home? Right? Edit: I do not have a security deposit. I paid a 500$ non refundable move-in fee (this is common in Chicago). The 1500$ in fines was issued to me as a bill. [link] [comments] |
| My (18F) mom (46F) refuses to send me my social security card Posted: 09 Jun 2020 12:26 PM PDT So I'm 18 and moved out of my moms house about a year ago and Into my dad's. My mom is incredibly abusive and manipulative. A few months ago I made the decision to join the Marine Corps but I need my social security card before I ship. I've tried just ordering a new one but I need her social security number as well for the forms and I don't know it. She won't give it to me either. She won't mail me my original social security card that she took from me when I was moving out(I was 17 at the time)unless I contact her directly instead of through my dad. I can't handle speaking to her again and I don't want to. She's holding it over my head as a way to get me to give in. Is there any legal action I can take? I'm 18, still with my dad, but I live in Cali and she lives in Virginia. Please help [link] [comments] |
| My landlord put a camera in our laundry room Posted: 09 Jun 2020 02:21 PM PDT So this morning some workmen came into the house and seemingly installed a camera on the wall, he didn't let us know the workmen were coming or what they'd be doing in the basement. The camera is on the steps facing the washer & dryer. I just want to know if this is legal, can he install a camera in the house without notifying tenants?? i live in Baltimore MD if it matters [link] [comments] |
| My car that’s been missing since Katrina was recovered in Minnesota last month and nobody wants it Posted: 09 Jun 2020 01:16 AM PDT I was 18 and my family evacuated prior to Katrina hitting our home in New Orleans, leaving my brand new Honda Civic that I had gotten for graduating high school parked on the street in front of our house. When my dad went back to survey the damage for insurance after the storm, the car wasn't there. It only flooded about 1-2ft where we lived but we knew that was enough water to carry away a car so we just kind of assumed that's how it went. We filed a police report because insurance told us to, but we never thought it was really stolen. Insurance ultimately declined to cover the loss and we never received a settlement. Apparently it was actually stolen. It was impounded in Minneapolis, and the police called me about it all excited like I was going to run to go pick up this 15 y/o Honda. I told them the same story that I told y'all just now. They said that I needed to contact insurance. I called the insurance company, they were basically like yeah, whatever, we'll send somebody out there. They have not sent somebody out there. The car is in a private tow yard, and now the tow yard is calling me and harassing me to come pick up the car. I told them I wasn't going to, I explained to them that I'm a single mom and I currently live in Washington and there's no way I can go to Minnesota and get rid of a car. They have told me that not picking up the car didn't mean that I didn't still owe them money and the car is accruing $150/day until I pick it up. I've left several more messages for insurance and the police in Minneapolis to no avail. I can't seem to get anyone on the phone who cares and/or is willing to help me do something about it. I'm panicking about being stuck with a giant bill for a car that I don't even want and like I said, I'm not in a position to go do anything with it either. Can I really be held financially liable here? [link] [comments] |
| My mom was fired after a day for "medical reason" Posted: 09 Jun 2020 03:46 PM PDT Before we start I might be in the wrong askreddit, I'm a bit new so I wasn't sure where to ask... For context, my mom is a social worker living in Quebec, Canada and has a master's degree and 2 years of experience with no issue. About 10 days ago, my mom had an online interview for a new job as a social worker in a CIUSSS (essentially dealing with mild mental illness and/or elderly people). The interviewer was impressed and contacted her the day after to "immediatly accept before she gets taken elsewhere". She had to move (she took a temporary apt for 3 weeks since it was so quick) and start working the following monday. She works there and everything goes well for a day. The next she is called in the office of management and fired stating that they finished looking at her medical records of the last 5 years. They stated that she could no longer work there because she had eczema and fibromyalgia, both of which nearly never appear (and when they do it's very minor), has never affected her previous job, wouldn't affect the new one either since it's nothing physical and to top it all off are not contagious diseases. My mom is very kind so she didn't fight back despite being angry and sad about the situation. After she told me, I was fuming, I couldn't believe such a thing would ever make sense in a VERY needed job especially in these COVID times. In short, I was wondering if anyone knew if this reasoning for firing her is legal or not, and what she could do about it aside from a formal complaint (tbh those rarely do anything) and also if anyone knew if she could somehow be compensated for the "moving" she had to do Thank you for your time, feel free to guide me if I'm in the wrong place for such a question and feel free to ask questions [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 09:37 AM PDT Hello. I'm going to make this as short as possible. My sister(we'll call her S, 16 yrs old) likes making Tik Toks of herself dancing and lip syncing, like many other younger kids. She posted a video of her dancing and lip syncing to a DaBaby song, nothing to worry about, right? Well, someone from the high school made an account on Instagram called "<ourtown>racists>(ex: floridaracists). They posted Tik Toks of a lot of young girls from the high school dancing and lip syncing to rap songs, and "exposed" these girls for "racism". My sister happened to be one of those girls. That Tik Tok wound up on that Instagram and people were basically cyber bullying her. Police got involved from the town, and so did the school, and the page was taken down. My mother just told me that the school "might be taking disciplinary actions for "dancing to a song that has the N word." Is this ridiculous or is my sister in the wrong here? I did not think that posting videos of yourself dancing and lip syncing to rap music voids disciplinary actions from the high school. Is there anything we can do about this? [link] [comments] |
| (CA)Am I legally obligated to delete a clip of me and this girl? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 06:02 PM PDT I was dating this girl and now we are broken up. She wants me to delete all photos and videos that she ever sent me. We are both 20 years old. I have deleted them all except one, and I'm in the video too although it's mostly her performing a sexual act on me. I don't want to delete it, and I was wondering if I'm legally obligated too?

| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 10:55 AM PDT My lease ended 5/31, with a 30 day notice and a clause that if it wasn't renewed it would go month to month. At the end of February and early March the landlord sent me several texts and emails asking if I intended to renew the lease. At the time I was looking into buying a house, so I did my best to sidestep the issue. Unfortunately I couldn't avoid him forever and by the second week of March I ended up telling him I wasn't sure if I would renew and that I was looking at purchasing a home. I asked him if he would let me go month to month while I looked and he said no, he was going to put it up for rent. He lists it, people come to see the house (often with little to no notice), and he tells me that he's rented the unit so I need to be out by 5/31. That's fine and fair, so I move out, clean it up, give him the keys and move on. Today I get a text from the landlord. He says I haven't paid this months rent, which is now 4 days beyond the grace period, so I owe rent plus late fees. Obviously confused, I messaged him back. He claims since I didn't give him notice, I owe him rent. He offered to count this as my notice and use part of my deposit to cover the rent. Every time I mention the new renters he ignores it and keeps telling me I owe rent. Can he even do this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 06:22 PM PDT Everything in the title is real. I wish it wasn't. It's been over a year since I broke up with my ex. Our relationship just wasn't healthy, we weren't healthy. It was a hard decision, but I decided to break it off. I don't want to get into detail, because I want to keep that stuff private, but just know neither of us were angels in the break up. Faults on all sides. Regardless, ever since then I've received hateful messages on social media, not just from him but from friends he convinced I was an abusive psychopath. Background: I started dating my ex when I was 18. He was 17. No sexual contact was had (not even nude pics) until he turned 18. We 100% would have been covered by the age of consent laws. He says that because he was 17, it was pedophilia. It would've been laughable if it weren't for the fact that people have actually believed him. I literally got banned from a Minecraft server. It's gotten worse now that he's got a group of friends that embolden him. His persistence is terrifying. Even when I went dead on all social media, he'd find new ways to contact me. He'd wait the x amount of days for a new account to be able to message me. Sometimes he'll wait up to a month. He found old friends from years ago and sent them messages. He used some app to disguise his cell number and I've had to change my own cell phone number. He said he's already contacted police (FBI hasn't busted down my door so I think I'm okay) and will be emailing my college so I won't be able to graduate and work with kids (my career is child oriented). I have filed away everything. I have it on a google drive folder. Every screenshot, every IP address my stat counter logged, every fake email or account, every voicemail. My therapist is willing to provide notes and evidence as I'm now under testing for a PTSD diagnosis from this. I just don't know if any lawyer would even take my case.

| Update on American citizen having constant delays to entered his own country Posted: 09 Jun 2020 05:39 AM PDT Summary: When I was a kid my parents mistakenly got me a tourist visa to visit America even when I was and I am an American citizen. Now every time I entered the country with my American passport I am put aside in a room to be questioned. I have lost flight connections and it's just frustrating. Now the update, I got my global entry, as many suggested, and nothing changed. I visited Boston and wait 2 hours in the room. I even asked the officer and he said that they just do random calls. ( All this happened in a pre-covid19 world). My original post was: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/d0wn7k/american_citizen_having_constant_delays_to/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Is there anything else I could do? Am I condemned to be stopped for the rest of my life? Long story: I am an American citizen, born in California. I have my birth certificate, my American passport and I pay taxes every year. My parents left California when I was a couple of weeks old and they decided to move to Torreon, México. My parents got me a Mexican birth certificate, instead of one recognizing my American birth certificate. So I ended up with two birth certificates my American one saying I was born in California and my Mexican one mistakenly pointing my place of birth in Mexico. After a couple of years, my parents decided to visit the US and renew their tourist visas. When they were in California my dad got a work visa. They also got a tourist visa for my siblings and one for me! I am the only member of the family who is an American citizen so they didn't even think about it. During my childhood, I vacationed in America with a tourist visa even when I was an American citizen. During college, I decided to solve that situation. I went to the American embassy in Mexico City, and they apparently cleared up everything. I got my American passport and got rid of the tourist visa. Fast forward to the present, I am happily living in Mexico. I got my wife and kids, they are all Mexican and they don't want to change that. My problem is that every time I enter the US I am put aside to an office and then get questioned about my life. Most of the times it's just me waiting for someone to start questioning me. They run my name in the database and then let me go. Because of my job, I travel a lot and it's frustrating that I have to plan to stay somewhere between1 hour or 2 (sometimes even more) while I am being questioned. I have lost fly connections because of these situations and it just frustrating. Every time I asked the reason I have been put aside they tell me they needed to double-check something. They have never truly told me I have been sent to the room because a lot of years ago I got a tourist visa but I cannot think of another reason behind this. For years I got used to being in this situation but with my current job, I travel to the US so much that this is really bothering me. Is there a way to clear up the reason I need to be questioned every time? Can this be solved in any form? Do I need a lawyer or can I solve it myself? If I need a lawyer, a regular immigration lawyer would do the trick? I heard about other people that get questioned every time, they usually believe it's because they share their name with a criminal or fugitive, is there a way to be sure if that's the reason behind my situation? Thank you for your help. [link] [comments] |
| Cop has right to search car after being wrongfully accused of stealing? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 09:36 PM PDT (Los Angeles, California)I was wrongfully accused of shoplifting at an art store. After proving my innocence the officer then says he's going to search my car(they stopped me at the doorway while my car was all the way in the back of the parking lot, I never even made it close to my car) I asked what his probable cause was and he said being accused of shoplifting. He then searched my car and called my tools "burglary tools" then took my tools and arrested me. I legit use those tools for my side job. He never found any stolen items from that art store, all I had were my tools. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 06:03 PM PDT How would someone go about filing for child abandonment if your ex threatened to take custody after you told him that you were going to file for child support? Previously saying that he wanted me to file to have his parental rights removed. State of Alabama, he fully intended to never see or speak to her again, hasn't paid for her care or seen her in person since her first birthday, (March 28 2018) and he hasn't spoken to her or asked to speak to her since January 27 of this year. He chose drugs over her, chose to buy cars instead of paying for diapers, and of his own volition chose to pursue termination of his own rights, but only if he didn't have to pay for it and apparently only if he never had to take care of her financially. I am seriously scared for my child's safety if she were to be with him, he doesn't know how to take care of her or any children at all for that matter. He threatened to file for custody yet still hasn't asked to talk to her so I can't help but to feel like the custody part was a fear tactic. Tldr: I believe my ex meets the Alabama standard for child abandonment and had no interest in our child until his mother told him I was thinking about filing for child support. Still won't ask to see or talk to her. What do I do?/ how do I file? [link] [comments] |
| Can landlord ban use of backyard? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 10:16 AM PDT My landlord told me today that the use of our front and back yard is a "privilege", and that we are not entitled to use it. He doesn't like us having our bbq beside our front porch, and hates the picnic table we put in the back yard. I reviewed the lease today and found nothing stated about prohibiting the use of either yard. We rent the entire house apart from one separate unit in the basement. My question is, does renting the house entitle us to use the yard? The landlord comes by almost daily to mow the lawn/garden etc, and I'm getting tired of having him around. Could we possibly cite "covenant of quiet enjoyment"? Any advice is appreciated, thanks! This is in Ontario, Canada [link] [comments] |
| Can I get unemployment insurance if my job hasn't started yet? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 10:18 PM PDT I have a job that doesn't start for a few months but right now I'm unemployed and looking for work to fill the gap. Can I still be eligible for unemployment insurance in the state of RI? I'm NOT out of work because of COVID, but because I was laid off before the closures. [link] [comments] |
