| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:44 PM PDT She's located in SD. I'm in MN. The book looks self published she seems to have started her own publishing company. She used our names only our bio dad's name was changed. I have proof I was not cooperating with her writing the book. She directly quoted our journals growing up. I don't know where to begin. Any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| My dog got out and a lady toke him and now will not give him back. What do I do? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 12:31 PM PDT I am in Houston, Texas. One morning while I was away a former roommate left the front door of my home open and my dog got out. About a half hour latter someone called to inform me so that I could come get the dog but unfortunately I did not receive the call because I am hard of hearing and during the current pandemic I had some issues with my hearing aid and have been unable to see a specialist to get it fixed. When I could not be reached the people that found my dog noticed that I had a tag on his collar from the rescue association that I had adopted him from. They decided to call the lady that ran the shelter and she came by to pick up my dog. About an hour after my dog went missing I received a message from the people that found him and I immediately contacted them through texts and a phone call. I found out that the shelter lady had already picked him up. I know her so at first I was relieved and proceeded to contact her that morning. After multiple calls and texts that day she did not get back in touch with me till 5pm. She them proceeded to tell me that the dog was sick and being dealt with at a vet. Now as far as I know in the state of Texas all pets are supposed to be scanned for microchips when they arrive for treatment but when I called HomeAway he had not been scanned in months since his last vet appointment. Now my dog is an older dog and yes he has some issues associated with age but he is cared for and never wanted for vet care. When I asked what was wrong through multiple texts I was told over the course of a week that he was getting bloodwork and being treated. She told me he was bloated and peeing a lot. Now after not being told where my dog was and being told by the shelter lady that I was too poor and disabled to care for the dog I began to worry. I started to Google legal advice to get a general idea of what I needed to do and through that I was told that I had 10 days to claim ownership with the police or I would loose claim to him. After doing so and contacting police in 2 different counties (the one that I am in and the one where my dog is supposedly being treated) the shelter lady became mad that I had reported the situation. I only did so because it had been over a week since I had seen my dog. The police have told me that this is now a civil matter which I am not sure what that means and did not help. And on Saturday I will have been without the dog for 3 weeks. I have received no paperwork or official notification that my dog has been taken and what information I have has only come after dozens of texts and calls. I tried looking up the shelter to go by and discuss this when them and when I looked up the address it is a po box at a UPS store. The phone number for the shelter is the personal cellphone of the shelter lady. How can some one take my dog or for lack of a better term my property and I have no recourse with the police? I don't really have loads of money to get a lawyer and have no clue how to proceed. At this point I am hoping that that if I keep in contact I will get the dog back. Oh and by the way the dogs critical illness that he had to be treated for was a UTI and old age. Both things that I am more than capable of dealing with. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 06:07 AM PDT So I while back a I got into a bit of an argument with my local police... really several arguments in one day. It's too long ago for me to take it to court and I don't trust the court in my area which is why I didn't escalate it. I'm asking this question for future reference and to let my friends know whether or not what our city police chief is in fact true, or let them know our cops are lying to cover their butts. You can skip ahead to the part I labeled important bit if you want a shorter read. Backstory: I ended up in a fender bender... I was stuck in the snow during a blizzard and a distracted driver hit my vehicle at full speed not noticing me honking and waving my arm out the window... I was declared at fault in a no fault state for this but wasn't going to take it further after what pursued following the incident. After the officer took my license and insurance card, declared me at fault and refused to listen to my side of the story after listening to the other driver. She then handed me a report declaring I was at fault but not being charged , told me I was lucky I was getting away with what I did (Sliding into a snowbank while driving about 5 mph one block from my home?) she asked me to leave the scene. When I attempted to asked her to return my license and insurance card she interrupted me and once again asked me to leave the scene while getting into her vehicle. So I left, without my stuff not sure how I'd get it back. My dad helped me get my car home (I was literally a block away so it wasn't too bad) and I went inside to use the bathroom and warm up. Medium importance: While I was in the bathroom I started hearing intense banging on the front door and my mom yelling "who are you? I'm not opening my door I don't know you" I finished up in the bathroom and ran into the foyer to tell her it was probably the officer returning my stuff. My mom yelled through the door "show me a badge" instead of her badge the officer held up my drivers license and my mom opened the door. The officer then proceeded to enter our home, walk down our entryway stairs, hand me my stuff and once again told me I was lucky to get away with what I did. My mom asked what exactly I did and specified we live in a no fault state so no fault should be declared by police especially in instances of inclement weather. The officer told me I should not have been driving in those conditions and was clearly speeding. I specified I was literally a block from my home, not far enough to gain any sort of speed and had been demanded to show up for work. She said I could take the other woman to court if I wanted to argue. As she left my home my mom asked me if I heard her give the officer permission to enter our home, I didn't recall hearing it. After all the insurance calls—which were nuts. The other woman was clearly lying and claimed I initiated a head on collision, when she T-boned me and the vehicle damaged was consistent with that, but I was still declared at fault by insurance on a technicality. Important bit: My mom called the police station and asked to speak to the officers supervisor, that happened to be the chief of police who was their. We asked he review to bodycam footage to see if my mom gave her permission to enter. We also asked why the officer wouldn't show her badge and it turns out they don't carry them in my city because "badges are easy to fake" We got a call back a day or two later and the chief of police confirmed her cam had been on and he personally reviewed the footage and that we had in fact invited her to enter by opening the door. He said for next time that we should not open the door and instead wait for the officer to leave if we don't want them to enter. I understand if verbal communication isn't necessary for those who are unable to speak, however I feel like communication beyond opening the door is required, at least that's what I've always been told. Is what the chief of police told me and my mom true? [link] [comments] |
| Would making a sign that says this be illegal? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:04 PM PDT So the sherif of the town I live in just took a lady's sign because it said "FCK TRMP". When she tried taking it back, he immediately took his hands and lunged then toward her neck. He is facing no backlash for this because it is a small, conservative town. I am wanting to now make a sign that says "F*CK <This Sheriff's Name>" and join the protests to exercise and make sure he understands our first amendment. Are there any legal repercussions I should be worried about before doing this? [link] [comments] |
| My landlord had someone move into my room on my lease... Posted: 04 Jun 2020 06:45 PM PDT Hey /r/legaladvice, so about 3 months ago I moved out of my apartment as my roommates mental health unraveled to the point where she made it unsafe for me to be there. At the time I let my landlord know that I wouldn't be living there but I would continue paying rent. Today I went there to grab some of my stuff to find that there was somebody living in my room. I talked to her and she said that she got permission from my landlord to live there for free. Instantly I was furious and contacted my landlord to ask her if she knew about it. Her response was "Yes I did thanks". I feel pretty disgusted that my landlord had this person living in my home without telling me and even more disgusted that my landlord would have me continue paying rent with a stranger living in my apartment. Now I'm just confused as to what to do next. I want to try to get the money back that she charged me or I want to overall stop paying rent for this apartment. Are there any legal steps that I should be making or have I dug myself in a hole? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| My crazy neighbor sabotages my selling of my house, can I sue? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:24 PM PDT Long story but I swear to G this is the truth and I need some help. Location: Kansas I, being a young woman with a cute dog, bought a house a few years back and quickly learned my next-door neighbor was a Single-White-Female kind of psycho. Initially I was friendly and even invited her to a Halloween party shortly after moving in. During this party she exploded on one of my actual friends that she did not know so I asked her to leave my house. She did not take this well and that is where our story really begins... This neighbor would monitor me via multiple security cameras she installed right after this party incident. They were all aimed toward my house, front door, garage door and backyard. On one occasion I caught her digging in my trash. I found out from other neighbors that she would constantly talk about me to them and apparently make things up such as she found me in bed with her ex-husband or that my sister told her I was schizophrenic and refused to take my medication. I do not know her ex and she certainly does not know my sister. I decided to replace the portion of the fence that abuts her property with a taller privacy fence, for obvious reasons. I went off the county property records and what I already knew were the lot's corner markers. We get the one side done when I get a cease-and-desist letter from the neighbor's lawyer. I stop the fence work completely and contact an attorney and professional land survey. Now I know I should have had the land survey done first, but I legitimately felt unsafe and was in a hurry (winter was approaching). What I did not expect was for the lots to all be trapezoid shaped as I found out when the land survey was presented to me in December. A portion of the fence did cross the boundary and I recognized my error. I had a contractor come and rebuild the fence using the land survey so that it was legit. My lawyer asked her lawyer multiple times if my contractor had permission to remove the portion that was on her side. She denied this request each time. She would also call the cops on my workers for "trespassing" despite the fact they never once did. She also called the cops on me when I installed IR lights to shield myself from her many security cameras. The police offer was so baffled when he came to my house but said he had an obligation to follow any call. The local PD were also so sick of her shit by this point. After all her craziness, harassment, and not feeling safe in my own home - I moved out. I didn't list the house until a few months later and was very excited when I received an offer. Turns out, my realtor knew this crazy neighbor of mine and when listing the house he approached her to kindly ask she take down the 15 different "No Trespassing" and "I got Cameras" signs she had duct-taped to the side of her house since potential buyers were always asking about it. She didn't but what she did do after finding out I accepted the offer and we were about to close, was inform my realtor that she planned to file a lien against the house ALL VIA TEXT MESSAGE. Now that meant he had a legal obligation to inform the buyer's agent which put a cloud on the title work or something like that. Needless to say- we didn't close! I did allow the buyer to take possession of the house and he is paying me a mere $400/month in rent. To sum it up, she: 1. not once tried to cooperate with any of my attempts to fix the error I admittedly made 2. openly acknowledged to my realtor that she knew I was in a contract with a buyer 3. indicated to my realtor that her intent was to file a lien to hinder the closing of me selling my house 4. waited until this moment (the day before closing) to file said claim which my lawyer and my broker's legal team advises is in the wrong venue (not sure what that means) Seriously, what can I do to just get away from this crazy woman?

| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:43 PM PDT First of all, I fully support the protests and have donated to several causes. I would be marching out there if COVID-19 wasn't still a thing. My question. Our office is fortunate enough to still be open during the pandemic. Two of our employees have been going to demonstrations the last few nights. While I support their right to free speech, I'm wondering if requiring them to self quarantine for 14 days from the last day they protest is legal? We have several at risk employees, and several of us have very at risk people in our households, including my 93 year old grandmother who lives with me. We have a total of 7 employees and are located in California. [link] [comments] |
| I Am a Sexual assault Victim Being Sued for Defamation of Character Posted: 04 Jun 2020 07:51 PM PDT In Indiana State, 14 years ago, I was abused by a friend's stepfather. The statute of limitations has passed and not legally doing anything about it at the time has always been a great regret of mine. I have been actively seeking therapy for it for a year now. 4 days ago, I made a post on social media with his name and photo, calling him out for mistreating me. Other women came out and admitted he did it to them too. I posted in on a platform where 97% of the people who saw it, do not know the man or live in the area. The point of me posting that was to get it out of my system on a small platform of 200 people that don't know me too well, therefore, there would be little judgement. I found it healing and therapeutic. It also gave others the power to come out themselves. This morning, my parents received a letter from a lawyer, threatening that if I don't take down the post, they will sue for defamation of character. I don't even know what step one is. I made the post private, but I uploaded the letter instead. I'm also not willing to take back what I said. I stand by the choices I made. My mother recommended I seek a prosector, even though I can't actually prosecute because of the statute of limitations. I also don't even have any proof against him. So I guess I'm just asking what the heck do I do? Get a lawyer? Keep the post privatized and pretend it never happened? Contact a proecutor? What could happen if I lose a lawsuit? I really don't have that kind of money. How do lawsuits work? Would he have to prove that I'm lying or do I have to prove I'm not lying? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 11:45 AM PDT Context: This goes back a while, but to keep things (relatively) short the altercation in the title started when my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend (who at that point had already moved out of the residence) was at her house. I came downstairs to hear them arguing about a stuffed animal she got their child for her first birthday, which he had attempted to burn. After him following her into the dining room to continue berating her, I made a comment about his parenting (repeatedly screaming obscenities at the top of his lungs at the aforementioned child, leaving her unattended for hours without informing anyone else, etc.). This further enraged him, but he more or less just told me to stay out of things, and so I decided to head through the living room towards the stairs, not wanting to escalate things further. I honestly don't know the particulars of this part very well, but I think he either took a moment to think about what things he'd threaten me with, or something was said to him by someone else in the house. Regardless, he followed into the living room and continued things, culminating in me telling him that I do not want his child taken away from him, but that he is likely causing her serious developmental damage at such an important stage of her life. This caused him to throw a bottle at my head and run up the stairs at me. The following fight was short-lived, as my girlfriend's father quickly intervened. I don't quite know how I ended up on the ground, as he was between the two of us when it happened, but am assuming he was either pushed into me by the child's father or thought I would not have restraint should things have continued (I was preventing the child's father from fleeing by grabbing the collar of his shirt, as he had already committed crimes in the past and immediately ran from the scene before police could arrive). At that point my girlfriend's father was sitting on my chest, but I had not struck at the other man aside from a single kick when he was running at me up the stairs. He proceeded to take the opportunity to kick me in the side of the head hard enough to break a toe, though it luckily hit neither my temple nor my teeth, and so I don't think I've suffered more than some abrasions and a slight concussion. He then fled before police arrived. He was later tracked down by police and cited, but was apparently not jailed as he (or his girlfriend) later climbed onto the roof of the house, took the air conditioner out of the window to my girlfriend's room enough to get in, and then proceeded to rummage through it and steal several things (which the police say they do not have enough evidence to search the house the two are currently staying at for). That occured yesterday, and was repeated today when my girlfriend came home from work to her sister leaving the house, apparently carrying some things (packed such that she couldn't tell what they were). She went up to her room to find the lock (completely separate and attached to a hinge on the outside of the door) missing and the room accessible as a result. Nothing seems to have been taken other than the lock itself, but we don't exactly know at this point until everything is looked through to see if anything else is missing. The two of them are currently staying at a friend's house a couple blocks away from my girlfriend's house, and he has repeatedly threatened to murder her (one time saying he would if she called the police on him). As of this moment I believe the police are there, but from what my girlfriend said they're more or less just questioning them about it and seeing if they can get the lock. I'm genuinely concerned for her safety and have been too busy to be there as much as I'd like. I know this isn't exactly what the sub is for, as this is as much a personal request for advice as legal, but what options are available at this point? Apparently a restraining order cannot be filed as he is no longer a resident of the house, but they don't seem to be jailing him despite what I'm pretty certain are multiple first degree felonies. Can I call the state police or some other agency to help? [link] [comments] |
| MD - Can my landlord break in to my place? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:07 PM PDT My landlord showed up for an inspection today, but I was asleep and missed them. I woke up to a threatening voicemail saying they were going to cut the chain off if they couldn't get in tomorrow. I have no intention of denying them entry, and they gave proper notice, but can they really just break in like that? [link] [comments] |
| What happens if I ignore a code violation notice for my home (Scottsdale, AZ) Posted: 04 Jun 2020 09:23 PM PDT We bought a house in February, and in April, the city told us that the casita (built in 1992) was not properly permitted. They said we had to go through the planning department to get the permit, but when I went into the office, the department said it didn't need a permit. I told this to the guy at code enforcement and he said that wasn't right, called, and got them to change their minds. However, nobody will tell me what permit we need or how to get it. They keep passing me to different people in the department and nobody will give me a consistent answer. Now, the original person who issued the violation is getting really aggressive about us "curing the violation" and says he cant extend our deadline (we never asked). What happens if we don't do anything and I just stop taking their calls? [link] [comments] |
| Reddit is trying to make my friend change the name and logo of his podcast Posted: 04 Jun 2020 06:52 PM PDT I'm writing on behalf of my friend since he doesn't want this getting traced back to his account. I'm from Canada, friend lives in UK. So recently my friend started a podcast about Reddit. It's gained a fair amount of traction and he's even had some fairly popular Reddit users on his show. His show does have the word Reddit in it and he has use the Reddit logo in his logo on his YouTube channel. He is not making any money from this and has zero ads on his podcasts. Today he got an email (image below) from a lawyer at Reddit asking him to change the logo and name of his show. My friend has put a lot of effort into his podcast and I would hate for Reddit to ruin it for him. What options does he have? Does he have to change it or are they trying to scare him? TL;DR friend has podcast about Reddit which he makes no money on, Reddit is asking him to take it down for using their name and logo. [link] [comments] |
| House cleaner is claiming unemployment against me Posted: 04 Jun 2020 05:14 PM PDT I live in Michigan and the house cleaner lives in Indiana. I have a house cleaner that was I was paying $100 a month to come over for a couple hours to help out with some chores around the house. The cleaner has been working around the house for 8 months and we both agreed that she should probably stay home during the COVID-19 crisis. A couple days ago I got a letter in the mail that she filed for unemployment against me. From what I have been reading about she is an independent contractor since she brings her own supplies, works for herself and we do not give her any direction as to how she cleans the house. Are we obligated to pay for her unemployment? And advice is great thanks [link] [comments] |
| Quit my job without notice due to deteriorating mental health, obligated to pay company. Posted: 04 Jun 2020 08:30 PM PDT Hello, I formally resigned from my company due to an abusive work environment. There was a lot of power politics, double standards, toxic management, zero transparency and so much more. I could tell more but this would be irrelevant. I was under probation since I joined. Basically, the contract states:
My probation was originally 3 months, then it got extended by 2 more months (which was informed to me in email / in writing). After those 2 months has passed, I was still under probation but was not informed through the email, phone call, or anything. And this:
So I understand that I have to pay back a months worth of salary, and also this. The visa costs. This amounts to a total which I as a fresh graduate am simply unable to afford. I have contacted multiple law consultancies, and my embassy for assistance. Do I have any case? Constructive dismissal due to their failure of notifying me about my probations extension - meaning the employer failed to uphold their end of the contract. If there is any more info I could provide and more documents I would happily do so. Please help me. I am working in Malaysia as an expatriate. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 08:28 PM PDT Long story ahead, apologies. I live in a rural community, I'm not from here. I've lived here for about 4 years and in that time I've had a kid and gotten married to said kids father who has a son of his own from a previous relationship. Summer of 2018, we got married. One week before the wedding, my mom, her assistant, and some other older friends threw me a bachelorette party, knowing I didn't really have any friends my own age here. We bar hopped. I took it easy, I've never felt comfortable drinking in unfamiliar places with people I only know a little, with the exception of my mom in this case. I had known that my moms assistant had a controlling husband, but they kind of played off of making each other jealous. She was supposed to text him every half hour that night to let him know where we were. She had done so. We got to the last bar for the night and he started calling her, she answered at first but he was just screaming at her so she ignored him. He probably called 50 times or so in the next hour. She was wasted, so one of the women in the group who stayed sober agreed to drive us, in the assistants car, back to assistants house to drop her off, then she'd drive us all home and return the car in the morning. (The rest of us we're all going back to stay at my moms, and the assistants car was big enough to fit us all.) I want to say it's a Tahoe, or something similar. Not one of those long Tahoe vehicles, but pretty spacious and fancy. We pull into her quiet neighborhood, everything was fine. Sober friend was driving assistants car, I was in the passengers seat, my mom and assistant and sober drivers sister were in the back seat. Then came the headlights. I looked in my passenger side mirror just in time to see some lights flip on only feet behind us. He hit us so hard that my forehead made contact with the dash. Sober driver was now screaming, he rammed us again twice before she got herself together enough to start fleeing, but he got us one more time. I was screaming at this point as she tried to get us away. He zoomed past us, and we all knew. It's was assistants husbands sporty red jeep Cherokee, and older version, but fixed up super nice. It had the front bars or whatever in front of the grill and it was lifted. She stopped the vehicle and my instinct was to get the hell out of that car. I ran into the side-yard of one of her neighbors who had a thick oak tree, and I hid behind. The other women followed suit, and I screamed that I was calling the cops. Everyone but sober driver and her sister tried to stop me. Yep, my own mother. See not only was she her assistant, but they were pretty good friends. He had a senior job at the railroad and something like this would have made that go bye-bye. The railroad doesn't take too kindly to drunk driving or assault/reckless driving/whatever you want to classify it as. He didn't return. Assistant didn't want to go home so sober friend drove us all back to my moms. I chose to walk home from moms, we live about 3 blocks away from one another. I desperately wanted my husband and my son. My husbands not a fighter. He's a sweet country boy. He saw red when I told him what happened. He was literally trying to reason with me why he should drive right over to their house and beat his ass. Fast forward to a week later, radio silence from assistant and her husband. I disinvited her husband from the wedding, but, dun-dun-dunnnn, she was the one who was marrying us at the altar. It had been planned for months. It was so awkward. I had felt sick to my stomach the entire week leading up to the wedding over what happened. I had a sore body and forehead and was slightly pissed that she seemed to pretend it hadn't happened. So here we are today. My anxiety has always been bad but I can't hardly breathe in a vehicle unless I'm the one driving. If my husband gets too close to the car ahead of us I rip him a new one while trying to choke back a panic attack. I have nightmares of that night. It's was so fast, but so aggressive, so targeted. I can't fucking wrap my head around why everyone just brushed it under the rug. Sober driver is the only friend who still talks about it with me, she said that if he'd showed up at my wedding, she would've had words with him. It messed us both up. This person no longer works for my mother. That's all I'll say about it, it was a very recent "parting of ways." My head is still fucked from it and I wish every single day that I would've called the cops. I know this is probably a stupid question. But I have at least one other person who'd testify. There have to be records of her car getting fixed after having the entire back end crunched in. I've started Zoloft for my anxiety. Is there anything I could do? Or do I just need to learn to let it go? Again, sorry for the long story. [link] [comments] |
| Company has held over $1,000 of my money, no product. Trying to cancel and they are being dodgy. Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:06 PM PDT Hi, I just wanted to get some legal advice because it seems that this situation is only going to get worst. I had placed an order for 3 items back on April 7th. They said they had one of the items in stock but I talked to customer service who said it would be about a week before it was back in stock. A week goes by and I get a tracking number thinking all of my items shipped. Receive my package and only two came in, but still missing the one item. So I chat/email them to ask if there is an update on the item. I get no email response so I need to send another email and finally 2 days later I get a response. They tell me it will be shipping in about 3 weeks. Whatever a lot has gone on these past two months. It's understandable. I told them no worries. Well here I am at about week 6 from that email and I finally contact them asking for an update. They say they will cc me on an email for the person who fulfilled my order and I would get a response a few hours later. Well the day goes by an no response. The next morning I respond to them email asking if there was any update. I wait all day for a response and call an hour before they close. Someone picks up and finally they go and ask the same person who I was on the email chain with. Said they saw my email(Then why not respond?). Finally I get a response saying they will get me an update about my item soon. Ticked off at this point. I just wanted to cancel this order because I am upset with customer service. I had called once already to ask them to cancel. Said they will talk to their account services to have the item canceled. This was earlier today. I got no email or anything to indicate the order was cancelled. I am now on a chat with the same person who has been handling the emails, asking to cancel my order. They said they will try to cancel it and to give them a minute. It has now been 25 minutes and I have heard nothing about my order still. I am worried they are going to try to get a restocking fee out of me or something. I don't want to give them ANY money. I have had a horrible experience. Just getting an update for my item took multiple days and multiple emails. I have been extremely nice and never once blamed them for any wrongdoing. If they try to tell me my order cannot be canceled or they cannot give me a 100% refund, what actions can I take legally? Edit: No response on the chat. I had asked for an update on the order cancellation. They are refusing to respond to me. Edit 2: Was on the cat for 3.5 hours. No response after 4 messages. store is closed now so the chat is over. Got the Chat transcript My location is in the United States, Specifically New Jersey. The Company is based in California. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| I feel like I have no rights as a Mother. Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:11 PM PDT When I was 19 I got married to a man who was 45. He was abusive, a liar and a scammer. I left after only being married for three months. I never could afford to get a divorce. I'm 23 now and been dating a amazing man, I found out I was pregnant and we got enough money to hire a lawyer to go on with the divorce. My lawyer said it's a good thing we hired her because in my state if I would have waited until the baby was born by law my ex would be put on the birth certificate. Well today I called the hospital to find out the laws with the birth certificate and stuff, the lady at the hospital informed me that unfortunately my ex will have to go on our babies birth certificate even if we are divorced because the baby had been conceived before the divorce was finalized. She said he will go on the birth certificate even if I tell them no and that even getting a dna test done before the baby is born will change nothing. I'm freaking out, I feel like the world is ending, the hospital is telling me my baby will have my ex's last name and he will have legal rights to my baby. This man is horrible and if he knew I was having a baby he wouldn't sign saying it wasn't his. I don't know what to do nothing will change this even if I got married to the father before the baby is born. Advice please? Edit: location is Louisiana Edit: Divorce will be finalized before baby is born then my and my boyfriend will get married, lady at the hospital said that even if I'm married to someone else it hasn't been 9 months since divorce so ex will still go on birth certificate.

| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 06:46 PM PDT If there's anybody familiar with immigration law in the state of Arizona, specifically Santa Cruz county even though I don't think the specific location matter that much as I assume immigration should consist of largely the same rules in all the country.

| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 06:45 PM PDT I signed up for TD ameritrade account and deposited around 800 dollar to the account. Then I try to take the money out of that account into my daily spending BOA account. When I attempt to transfer the money OUT of td ameritade they make numerous attempts to take money from my boa account instead. That make my boa account have a lot of over draft fee. I call td ameritrade for them to stop taking money away from my account, they said they can't do anything about it. Then I have to call boa to block their ability to take money from my account. After a lot of calls and emails, they finally give me back the money in my ameritrade account. But the thing is, they transfer the same amount of money to my account TWICE!! So now I have a over unsecured debit of 800 in the ameritrade account. They are now threatening to take legal action and turn me to 3rd party collection agency. I'm a pretty worry and scare right now. Honestly extremely pissed off, I'm having to pay all this extra money and trouble just because ameritrade made a mistake! Can they take legal action against me? What should I do in this case? [link] [comments] |
| Child care facility does not allow me to cancel despite pandemic Posted: 04 Jun 2020 06:57 PM PDT I enrolled our child in a day care type place. I started a three month membership days before the stay at home order started. I paid for one month tried to cancel right away but they told me the membership would continue when their facility open again. My situation has changed and I no longer will need to send my child for care since I'll be working from home permanently. This place is getting ready to open again at new location relatively soon and I know they want to pick up like nothing happened. I don't need this service anymore and wouldn't send my child anyway for risk of COVID. What do I do? They can keep the month I paid for but I don't want to pay for another 2 months when I won't be getting anything. The contract I signed is very basic and obviously doesn't include anything about a pandemic. I'm in CA btw. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 08:26 PM PDT I'm not sure what flair to add to this. Also you'll have to forgive me, as this is very recent and I'm just getting information on this as it rolls in, and I'll provide updates. As backstory, my grandmother and my aunt haven't been getting along recently. My aunt is extremely short-tempered and impatient, and that doesn't go well with the often-times frazzled and question-filled personality of my grandmother. Also, my aunt has been recently talking to my grandmother's pastor, which I found weird because my aunt always distances herself from religion and openly refuses to be a part of it. Anyway, today my aunt and my grandmother's pastor showed up to her house, said that her doctor had declared her "unfit to drive." Then took her car. Her car is legally owned under her own name. And that's all I know right now. So I'm wondering what the legal basis is for this. As I stated, my grandmother is anxious and easily frazzled (she lost her husband of 50 years less than 6 months ago which has exacerbated this) so I'm afraid that she has no real allies in this situation, and won't easily be able to maintain her legal property. I don't want her driving if she's unfit, but I have seen zero signs of that. And I want her to have someone on her side so she doesn't get walked all over. Please, if you could give me some advice.
