| Accused of sexually abusing my infant son by batshit MIL. Posted: 29 Jan 2018 05:11 AM PST Throwaway for obvious reasons. Bear with me. My insane Christian MIL hates me. I listen to Metallica and Megadeth, therefore I am the reincarnation of Lucifer. Yesterday I was changing our son's (6 months old) nappy, he had poop all over the place, because he's a baby. I cleaned around his anus and my MIL shreaked at the top of her lungs: "You just sexually abused your son! You fucking vile pig." Our son, obviously almost jumped off the changing table with shock and was in hysterics. MIL started slapping me around the back of the head, shoulders and back. Wife came in and almost had to carry MIL out of the room. I'm in a state of shock, I have to calm our son down and finish cleaning him. Can hear MIL and FIL raging in the background. Hear the front door slam. MIL now says she's calling CPS and has reported the "sexual abuse" of our son. What's my recourse here? When CPS show up, do I bar them from entering and explain the waste of time they're in for? Do I let them in? Do I hire a lawyer and look for a cease and desist? I'm worried about letting CPS in because people have told me that they will take a dim view of me (the father) being the one looking after him while my wife is working. Is there any truth to that? I'm fairly certain she will call CPS because she has called the police on me in the past for driving my wife's car. State is Wyoming. [link] [comments]  |
| [Update] Taking my landlords to small claims for not returning my security despoit Posted: 29 Jan 2018 10:36 AM PST I won my case! Judge asked the defendant if they could testify if any staff member sent out a list of damages from the apartment to my new address. Nobody could, so the judge ruled in my favor. I didn't have to say a god damn word... just showed up and won. So I'm getting my full deposit back plus court filing fees.

| Posted: 28 Jan 2018 06:20 PM PST 9 years ago the city decided to plant trees along my street. I specifically requested that they exempt my property from this and attended every meeting on the subject, but they did it anyway. Last year they put in a sidewalk as well. Again I wasn't a fan, but again I couldn't do anything to stop them other than ask them not to (and be told no). Now I have received a notice from the city that the sidewalk is uneven and damaged, and I need to pay to have it repaired. They said I can choose one of a number of local companies and hire them personally, or the city will get it done and bill me. A family friend came out and looked at this, and he said that the sidewalk issues are definitely being caused by tree roots. He said that I could technically go for a cheap repair that involves spraying foam under the sidewalk to level it, but that he doesn't believe it would hold very long in this case. The sidewalk is also cracking in several areas and he said that once a square cracks, it will typically just get worse and worse until it starts to crumble. In other words he thinks the sidewalk needs to be ripped up, the roots need to be dealt with (as they will otherwise continue to grow) and the sidewalk will have to be redone. He did not know much about the tree other than that it is a much larger tree than is usually planted in the right of way area, and he believes that is why its roots are so bad. He also said that he thinks the tree has a long way to maturity and the root problem is only going to get worse. However he said that he thinks (and I agree) that the city should be the ones footing the bill on this, not me, and that I should urge the city to take care of it themselves. My obvious gripe here is that I bought a property with NO trees and NO sidewalk, they arranged for both, and now I'm stuck with what are looking like very expensive consequences. At first I figured the city just didn't realize that it was their own tree causing the problem. I responded to the city in writing and followed up with several phone calls explaining my position, but am pretty much being told "tough luck" because upkeep of the right of way in front of my house is my responsibility. The city even agrees that the issue is caused by the tree roots, they just don't care. Frankly I have been annoyed enough having to pay for leaf cleanup and snow removal and now being told I am on the hook for what could be several thousand dollars adds a lot of insult to injury. I am wondering if this is likely to be worth fighting / if I have a case. I can't afford much in legal fees (especially with a potential major sidewalk repair bill coming..) so I don't want to waste money where it won't make a difference. [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor throwing chocolate in my backyard - I have dogs that are eating it. Problem! Posted: 29 Jan 2018 06:01 AM PST Hello from Long Island, New York in the USA! I recently moved here and this is my first time without a Home Owners Association. I've been finding Reese's and Junior Mint boxes in my backyard starting a couple days ago. My wife and I own two greyhounds (rescues) and we make certain to lock the trash and prevent our dogs from eating anything that could cause them harm. We have squirrels in the neighborhood, so the dogs occasionally bark for a few minutes until they give up. My wife and I work all day, so we have a dog door for the dogs to use the restroom outside while we aren't home. Since my wife and I don't keep any candy in the house, I have to assume one of my new neighbors is less than thrilled with my dogs and this occasional barking occurrence (1 or 2 times per day from my recordings). I am installing exterior cameras this week in an attempt to find out which one of them is trying to hurt my dogs. In the past, I would go to my HOA to mediate this issue, but now I don't have this option. Once I get my proof, I hope to confront the neighbor directly, but I don't know what I'm doing really. Here are my questions: - What potential laws are my neighbors breaking? -Would this be a police matter or animal rights group or both? -Should I be doing anything else to collect information/evidence? -if anyone has experience with this type of situation, what can I expect? I searched the forum and the rules, but could not find something similar to this issue. I'm just getting to work now, so please be patient if it takes a while for me to respond. Thank you for any advice!!! [link] [comments]  |
| As an underage teen, can I refuse to take pills provided by my mom? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 10:37 AM PST She's into homeopathy and wants me to take pills I don't think will work and do not want to take. She's telling me she won't allow me to drive (full license), will close my associated bank account, etc if I do not take the vitamins/homeopathy/make believe pills. There is no medical reason. Can I legally refuse these? I'm asking since she said I can't. I'm 16. Houston, Texas. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2018 10:48 AM PST I have been living on campus at my state university for 2 years and I am therefore required to purchase the $4000 dining plan. I have a condition called esophageal hypersensitivity. If I consume a number of "trigger foods" my esophagus swells and becomes very painful and I cannot swallow. The number one trigger food for me is peppers: bell peppers, jalapeños, hot sauce etc. I have had meetings with our on campus dietician as well as the managers of the dining halls in the past where I expressed my concern that nothing is labeled in the dining halls, menus aren't made available for students, and most importantly the ingredient lists are not available online either. This is very concerning because I believe this is the only state university in NY that doesn't provide ingredient lists online for students to easily see. The managers that I have spoken with claimed that they "do not have the resources" to be labeling food in the dining hall. I have had numerous (at least 2 a week) reactions after eating food that wasn't labeled or after being told by an employee that it didn't contain said allergen. I feel like this is a huge liability and I am concerned about other students dining here with anaphylactic allergies. My main question here is, would it be worth it to seek out a lawyer and take some sort of legal action that would force the institution to label foods and provide ingredient lists for students? Are they breaking any laws by doing this? Any help would be great, thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| [Delaware] Boss is quitting and shared employees personal info with new employer Posted: 29 Jan 2018 06:59 AM PST I work at a bank. My boss is quitting at the end of the month to go work in sales. Shortly after putting in his notice, a number of employees started receiving solicitations in the mail from his new employer. Some of these employees live over an hour away and the only way they could have received those addresses is if my boss took them from our emergency contact list that we keep internally without their consent. Was that illegal? [link] [comments]  |
| "squatters" on my mom's property (Or) Posted: 29 Jan 2018 07:12 AM PST My mom has herself a situation and I wanted to see about getting direction on what to do given the nature of tenant law. My mom has a large piece of property she lives on outside Portland. Out of the goodness of her heart she let a guy move his motor home onto the property and stay, paying her rent and using a bathroom she has in her shop. This was all fine. Things get complicated when a month a two ago he told my mom he would be moving and was going to sell the motor home. A few weeks ago he told my mom he has sold it to a couple and they are going to keep living on the property like he was. My mom immediately told him that is not okay and they cannot live there and they will need to move the motor home off the property. She didn't hear anything else about it and left on a trip out of the country to visit some family and just got back this weekend. On returning, she finds the people have moved into the motor home and have broken into the shop to use the bathroom (and caused some other minor damage to the property-namely a dent in the bathroom door). Incidentally when she got there the sheriff had already been called by the people in the motor home due to a domestic dispute on their part. She went over immediately with her friend who had picked her up from the airport and told them they are on private property and need to leave. They did leave and when my mom talked to the sheriff he told her she can't just kick them out and will need to evict them. Since then they have come back at night and she has been afraid to confront them alone and isn't sure what to do. Is this to the point that a formal eviction is required? Is there a more straight forward solution here since this is a motor home and they were never given permission to stay on the property and have broken into the shop? My mom isn't rich so would like to avoid a lawyer if necessary, but we can cobble something together if we have to. They have been on the property a couple weeks at this point we estimate. She has not accepted any money from them and has nothing in writing with anybody as far as I am aware. (I told her quite strongly that was a bad idea but she doesn't listen to me) Thanks! Clarification: the "motor home" is a fifth wheel trailer with no truck attached. [link] [comments]  |
| School holding my sons phone until end of school year Posted: 29 Jan 2018 12:09 PM PST My sons middle school in Oakland, Ca has taken his iPhone until the end of the school year for use on School grounds after three infractions. The first was him just being a kid but the last two were him texting me he's heading home while still inside after school let out for the day and the second was him doing the same but (per my request) texting me at the gate before leaving the grounds. His safety is my priority which is why I requested him to text me. The school just recently began this rule and didn't state it to students or parents. Can they really take his phone for the next 5-6 months? [link] [comments]  |
| The toilet for the male students at my school is locked during class, the female toilets arent. Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:48 AM PST I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, so if there is a better place, point me in the right direction. I attend a secondary school (highschool pretty much) in Ireland. Recently the toilets that are meant for male students have been locked during class. The way a day works is there are 3 classes (40 mins each), then a quick break, then 3 more classes, then a longer break and finally 3 more classes. The toilets are unlocked during the breaks. I recently found out that the toilets meant for the female students aren't locked during class. The female students are almost always given permission to go to the toilet during class. The male students aren't allowed to the toilet during class because the toilets are locked. I overheard the vice principle saying that if you have a note from a doctor saying that you have some sort of medical issue,you can go to the toilet. But this is some really flawed logic. Where am I supposed to go if the toilets are still locked? I can give more details if I missed out on something. [link] [comments]  |
| [MI]Being told to move hours to a future check to avoid overtime Posted: 29 Jan 2018 07:09 AM PST My friend is hourly at a company and averages about 60-70 hours a week. He has time stamps to prove this. His employer then takes the hours over and moves it to the next check and then the next check and so on. He only gets paid about 40-50 hours per week. I believe this is wage theft and it sounds like a clean cut situation. My other concern is when he leaves this job he apparently has 4-5 pay checks in 'forwarded' hours that I doubt he will see. How does he go about handling this? Is this going to be as easy as it sounds since he has his time stamps for a week that doesn't match a pay stubs hours worked? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:38 AM PST I lived with a few people, one of which being the son of the homeowner. Everyone but the son was recently asked to move out via written notice due to them wanting to sell the house. I moved my stuff and began living in my new place by the date I specified. My room was clean and my portion of the kitchen that was verbally agreed I would clean was completed prior to me moving out. I texted his parents the day after I moved out about my deposit. They said they would return once son said the house was in good condition. I received my deposit back in the mail by the end of that week. Flash forward to 2 weeks after I've moved out he is now texting me telling me that I must come help clean the house. (He also said I had some laundry in the basement which may be true. At this point I'd rather not go over there to get it, though.) Does he have any legal recourse to get me to come clean? I signed a one year lease 4 years ago and had been living month to month but I no longer have a copy of the lease. Any and all help is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| [OR] New employee is being harassed by former employer. Posted: 29 Jan 2018 11:22 AM PST So, while I don't know the details regarding this person's departure from the previous position, I do know that there was a court case and subsequent NDA with an undisclosed settlement. This is a sales position that requires travel. While we're not competitors, our industries do intersect by clientele. This week our employee is at an industry event and is staying at the hotel where said event is taking place. When she arrived, her hotel reservation had been cancelled. When pressed, the hotel staff had acknowledged that the reservation had been cancelled by the travel agent that is known to have a familial (cousin of owner) relationship with said previous employer. I'm trying to not get too emotional about this, but this is distracting from our larger mission as a company. The threat from a non-competitor is even more disturbing that they'd go to these extremes to make our employee feel unsafe. Edit: Clarification on the hotel. [link] [comments]  |
| (Ohio) Father died in the fall, owed 100K on 2nd mortgage of a house worth 50k. Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:33 AM PST Dad died in the fall... thought we had all our bases covered with the bank. There is no estate to come after, no 401k or inheritance. Do we have to lawyer up or can we just send the courts the death certificate and say "he's dead" sorry. No will, not real inheritance. We sent the bank his death certificate and a all the paperwork stating we don't want the house. Just got a summons for everyone in family from the Bank for the 100k mortgage. Are we on the hook or is just this debt collectors trying to make 100K? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2018 11:14 AM PST Story: An acquaintance that I knew from my previous job (let's call him "Steve") contacted me and said that he would pay me $1,000 if I would sign up for 2 credit card processing accounts. I thought it was a lot of money for doing something so simple, but a friend of mine told me that it was legit and it was easy money. So I agreed, thinking that I was just helping him hit his monthly quotas for his new sales job. I had just lost my job so I could really use the money. He sent me document after document which he instructed me to sign. Foolishly, I did exactly that without thinking of the consequences. A few weeks later, I had signed up for two new merchant processing accounts and Steve had sent me $1,000. A few uneventful months pass by and I get a phone call from one of those merchant processing companies saying that I owe $15,000, and if I don't pay, they're going to sue me to recover the funds. I was just as confused as I was upset. After some research, I found out that he used those merchant accounts to run stolen credit cards, since he had access to these accounts the whole time. Now getting hounded for $15k with my name on all the paperwork. I don't know what my options are here and if anybody has dealt with something similar to this I would really appreciate any insight. I'm in Los Angeles Edit: Location [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2018 07:38 PM PST I'm about to turn 17. I plan to move out immediately upon my 18th birthday in one year, but this presents some issues regarding legal identification. Due to my dad's religious beliefs he's spend my entire life not using his social security number. He's self employed and uses my grandmother's SSN if he can't find any other work around. At the time of my birth he was set in his views and hence took me home from the hospital before I was named and given a birth certificate. So I'm a 17 year old American in South Carolina, born in North Carolina with no birth certificate or SSN. I've watched my dad struggle to work around using his SSN and I've never been able to get a minimum wage job because of it, I don't want to live like that. I want to move out and get a number as soon as I can. I'm also homeschooled, so I have no school ID or documents. Summary; I'm an undocumented natural born citizen of natural born citizens with no birth certificate, school ID, or SSN who needs to find a way to get assigned an SSN. [link] [comments]  |
| [NC] Sister is victim of nosy people with positions of power. Posted: 29 Jan 2018 12:24 PM PST Sorry for the poor title, I didn't know what else to call it. Anyway, about 2 years ago my sister made an acquaintance from whom she bought a puppy. Part of buying this puppy was submitting to a background check, to which the acquaintance said all she needed was my sister's address and legal name and that her husband would do the search. She thought nothing of it until a little while after when she learned that the acquaintance's husband worked for the emergency services contact center (911/C-Comm). The acquaintance even confirmed that her husband was using his job to get information of my sister's background via their system and that it was illegal. Recently, my sister and her husband had an altercation, and my sister called 911. The situation was taken care of by very nice police officers. A day or so after, this acquaintance messaged my sister on Facebook asking if she was alive. Once my sister confirmed her status of living, the acquaintance said that she was"told to check up on her". When my sister responded with a message saying "Who told you that? Lol" she received a phone call from the acquaintance who said that"a little bird told me". Now anyone who knows this girl (the acquaintance) knows that her husband's nickname is "Little Bird". Which leaves us to conclude that the acquaintance's husband has been using his workplace to get information on people they know for whatever reason. This was confirmed during the phone call that it was him but not in a message that could be screenshot. What course of legal action, if any should my sister take ? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2018 03:31 AM PST So long story short a co-worker/friend took me and my roommate quadding. We got to the viewpoint half way up the mountain, and pulled over to wait for my truck following us. My friend offered to let me drive the quad, and I agreed and said I'd go slow. We ended up around 4 ft from the edge & buddy tried to jump off. Which resulted in him hitting my arm to turn/ accelerate off a 30-50 foot embankment. His head hit the tree and fractured his skull through the helmet. I got my abdomen and had internal bleeding. I ended up in the hospital for eight days & my friend was 21 days. My father agreed on my behalf to pay the insurance deductible for the accident while I was sedated etc. Which I wrote him a check for which "for insurance deductible" on it. His father crossed it out, and cashed it than forced his son to pay the shops fee $4000. They tried to get me to pay for the entire thing & Not go through insurance since his dad would be paying for it that way. Now I hear his dad is trying to sue me. Can I get in trouble even if there was no legal documents saying if pay for the accident etc? [link] [comments]  |
| Roommate growing weed; am I liable? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:44 AM PST My roommate/friend is growing marijuana. I do not smoke it nor have I ever (hard to believe, I know). I'm not against others smoking weed at all, but I am concerned that since I am knowledgeable about it, am I putting myself at risk? He (my roommate) owns the house, I just rent the room from him. He does not have a licence or prescription. We are in Canada (the marijuana laws will be changing soon). If he were caught, could I also be charged with possession (or something similar)? Legal advice would be appreciated. Thank you :) Sorry, one more update: he grows solely for personal use, never sold and has no plans to. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2018 12:07 PM PST Hi, Reddit. I think it'd be best to give some sort of backstory on this, otherwise none of it would make sense. My (half) sister, who is now in her early 30s, has always been mentally unstable. She suffers from a severe form of bipolar disorder which is seen regularly in her actions, yet does not take any sort of medication for it. With that she also seemingly has some sort of anxiety, though it is undiagnosed (she once called my mother to help her get out of the doctor's office as she was freaking out and didn't want to be seen by other people). She has been to jail NUMEROUS times, including charges for harassment, stalking, attempted murder, and aggravated assault among other things. She blames my mom for EVERYTHING. I wish I were exaggerating, but somehow everything that my sister has gone to jail for is my mom's fault, according to her. My sister's life is "screwed up" because of all the "fallen angels" around her. I wish that were exaggeration too, but those were my sister's own words once. Her boyfriend(?) is not the exact same, but he has been to jail on numerous occasions, including charges for theft, drug usage, hit and runs, aggravated assault, and so on. He seems to be better, mentally, than my sister, though with him still hanging around with her that is questionable. I don't know if he's her boyfriend or not, but I think that he is. He is also on probation currently and has a probation/parole officer. Anyways, with the problem: Recently for about a month or two, both of them had been living in our house (containing me, mom, dad) in order to find themselves a place in the future. They didn't have a place to stay, so my mother allowed them in. However, my dad was very much against this idea as he knew what kind of people they were (sister stabbed dad once - that's part of the aggravated assault and attempted murder charge). Of course, my mom knows what kind of people they are as well but allowed them to stay anyways. During this time, my sister physically assaulted her boyfriend, and sprayed something into my cousin's eyes when she came to visit once, which resulted in her getting another felony. She was released later, under what circumstances I don't really know. They also dented my mother's car, so they were forced to pay for that as well (I don't know how much, thought I think it was around $300). Anyways, a few weeks away from when they were supposed to leave, they got a hold of my mother's credit card. With this, they stole all $600 from her savings account. My mom lost her shit (rightfully so), and had me notarize a paper that had both her and the boyfriend sign stating that they owed her $6000 dollars. While the paper is not officially legally binding (as far as I know), and she has not taken it to the police or bank (why? I don't know - i told her she should have), there's technically nothing she can do to reinforce that. They left the first or second week in January, and to my knowledge have paid back $3000, yet they were supposed to have paid back the full $6000 by January 11th. Now, they claim to not owe any money, and refuse to pay any of it back. I wish that were the last of the problem, though. From around January 27th to today, January 29th, the boyfriend has been sending my mother plenty of messages, though me and my dad believe that it is my sister messaging my mother through her boyfriend's phone. I do have pictures of these messages (my mom has a flip phone). The messages include the "boyfriend" threatening to "expose drug use" from my mother, who is in her 60s, though all the medication she takes is most definitely prescribed. She smokes, I think she does marijuana to help with pain. Whether or not it is medical, I don't know. I just know she does it. The "boyfriend" also states that she is "blackmailing" him, though the only thing she really said was "if you don't pick up your stuff in the next week, there's gonna be a nice bonfire". He responded with, "u are threatening me and I dnt appreciate it at all. u are not going to threaten me and think its ok I will make ur life a ducking hell hole I paid u". Among this, he states my mother "opens the mail" that goes to our house under his name. She does not open it, and I can attest to that as the mail was sitting on our counter top UNTOUCHED for a week when they came to pick it up. He also says that "u and [dad] will regret fucking with us and dnt think I dnt know about [dad] raping [me] n the nasty infection she has cause of [dad] raping her so watch ur fucking tone". This is completely untrue, considering I'm fairly certain I'd know if I were raped, or if I had a "nasty infection". I'm fairly certain that could throw them in jail alone for false rape accusations. My mother texted him that his package was at the house and to bring money, and he replies "That's federal property u have to give it to me or u go to jail". He also mentions for my mother to stop threatening him, though she flat out was not. He says that he doesn't owe my mom the money, he owes the insurance company the money. This is not for the car repairs. This is from the theft he committed. He states that he "contacted a lawyer" and that he "knows more about the law then [mom] does". Later, he says that "U will bring the package to us later today in a neutral meeting spot". I'm fairly certain that could be potentially crossing some sort of legal boundary, and then says "dnt trust u won't try something crazy". He, of course, goes on and on saying that he will "press charges", though he is contradicting himself saying that he owes the insurance company then later says that my mother "owes [sister]" money because it was her car... but it was in my mothers name, and not only that, is my mother's car. He ends it off by saying "material things can be replaced btw u took [sister]'s life from her and she can't ever get that back cause of ur drug use o by the way". TL;DR: Crazy sister and her almost equally crazy BF contacted mother threatening charges and saying false statements about her and my father due to the fact that they still owe my mom roughly $3000 and have committed theft against her. All I'm really posting this for is asking if ANY of their claims are even remotely plausible without a hefty sum of evidence, and could it potentially get my mother (or my family) into trouble. I'm confident they're just grasping at thin air and straws trying to find something to "incriminate" my mother on, but my mother has never even been to jail, and it seems unlikely that they could really get anything off of this. If so, what can we do to make sure we'd win a case (besides getting a lawyer ASAP, my mother is already on it, on top of contacting the bf's probation/parole officer)? How hard could this be for us?

| Posted: 28 Jan 2018 04:34 PM PST My wife and I agreed that she would return to school, requiring a private loan of about $100,000. She just graduated and we received repayment information and I discovered I was a co-signer. I pay all my cards in full and do not have other debts aside from mortgage so I don't actively monitor my credit (my mistake, clearly). Apparently my wife took me supporting her in her schooling as me being okay with co-signing her loan (let's not get into relationship issues right now). I know all finances are generally combined in a marriage any way but ours aren't- we each contribute to household expenses and use our discretionary income as we choose. Things also haven't been rosy lately and divorce is a real responsibility so being attached to her debt is certainly not something I would've agreed to, even two years ago. Personal finance sub told me my only option is to report identity theft. 1.) Is there any other way to get me off these loans? 2.) Will this send her to jail? 3.) Is it guaranteed to get me off the debt? Location: NYC [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2018 12:34 PM PST Let me start off by saying that the vehicle has/had insurance at the time and this occurred in Utah. Alright so about a month ago I lost control of my dads car due to heavy snow and it resulted in me running into a small barbed wired fence. I didn't think much of it because it was in a field and the damage did not look very bad. I was late to work so I kind of scurried out of there not noticing that my license plate had fallen off in the field.. I messed up. So today (a month later) I received a phone call from an officer questioning me about that night and also stating that I not only damaged the fence but also some sprinklers. I have explained to him what I remember: how things led up to that, when it happened and where I remember it being. After doing so, he asks me when a good time to meet up with him would be. I asked what for and he says that he needs to do more questioning, give me back my license plate and photograph the damage done to my vehicle. My question is, do I ABSOLUTELY need to "meet up" with him and talk or should I just speak with my fathers insurance provider? Should I lawyer up? I just don't want to be falsely accused of anything and I hear that could happens at times when you choose to speak to an officer. Hope someone can help me out. A huge THANKS in advance!

| Can I Be Held Responsible for Medical Bills Regarding a Lost Pregnancy? (NY) Posted: 29 Jan 2018 11:58 AM PST TL;DR version - over the last year I've had a very toxic relationship with a woman, which has come to a head in the past few weeks. Two weeks ago, she told me she was pregnant with our child, and she was planning on keeping it. She went on to tell me if I wasn't going to be with her, I'd never see or know the child, she'd keep me out of its life entirely. Since then, she's supposedly lost the child as a result of an emergency surgery. Now she is threatening me with legal bills, etc. as a result of the "pain and suffering I've put her through." She's also talking about reaching out to my future employer, contacting my family and "putting me through hell" as a result. Is there any way I can be held legally responsible for any of this? Do I have a strong case for an order of protection, based on her threats to my employment, etc.? Looking forward to your input. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2018 09:53 PM PST This evening a resident in the apartment near the front of a small, maybe 10 apartment sized complex, left a note saying that parking was assigned and I was parking in their spot and if I were not to move they would personally have my car towed. I reviewed the lease and nowhere in the parking section does it say anything about assigned parking (other than not parking trailers, boats, or scrap cars in the lot) and the company representative who showed me the apartment prior to moving in never mentioned such a thing either. There are no signs or marked parking spaces. They're simply just blank. There are about 8 of them in the front then two on the sides, presumably enough for each resident to have one spot. That being said, the two spaces next to where I've parked are always empty and just as close to their apartment as the spot I've been parking in. The reason I park there is that it's right next to the stairs and my apartment is on the second floor and it's easier for me to access. I'm wondering if it's actually legal for a resident (not management) to call a tow company and have my car taken away when there are no signs, numbers or any information in the lease that what they're saying is true. Would a tow company be able to respond to something like that? Also I'd knock on their door but it's almost 1 AM and don't want to disturb them. I just don't want to wake up tomorrow morning to my car being towed if that's even possible. Or is there something I'm missing and maybe I am in the wrong? Edit: The apartment is located in Atlanta, GA [link] [comments]  |
| Traffic accident due to a missing stop sign Posted: 29 Jan 2018 10:24 AM PST Ninja edit: I'm located in Tucson, Arizona. So this morning, my girlfriend and I were riding our motorcycles to work. She was riding about 20-30 feet ahead of me. A car seemingly blew a stop sign and just missed her by inches, but she slammed hard on the brakes, the front tire locked up, and she went down, doing decent damage to the motorcycle and herself. However, the guy in the car pulled over and helped us out, and he pointed out that there wasn't a stop sign for him. It was true, some partying college students must have taken it as a prank or something similar. We called 911, the police came and did a full report, and I got pictures of the intersection before the stop sign was replaced (and damage to the bike). My girlfriend got bandaged up by paramedics, and we all went home. Now, I'm unsure of what to do from here. I don't want to go after the insurance of the guy in the car, because it really wasn't his fault that the stop sign was missing. I'm assuming that I'll be hearing from her insurance company for the pictures of the missing stop sign, but would we be going after the state for compensation from this? Thanks everyone!
