| My exwife lied about her income and now pays no child support. Posted: 27 Jan 2018 06:41 AM PST Im 24 and got full custody of my 4 year old son. My ex wife would lie about and never release any tax papers or income verification forms for court. She also claims i never paid her child support the 2 years we were separated. (I did and have proof) She and her lawyer put a wonky clause in the paperwork that if she is ordered to pay any child support, it will be "held" until Nov 2019. We agreed to no child support from her under current circumstances (My lawyer told me she would only have to pay $25-50 a month) and now the actual child support form has been released to me and it says she would have to pay $260 a month. My son and I live in VA, but the divorce was in MN. Im active duty Army. Anything i can do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jan 2018 09:16 AM PST Original archived post here: https://np.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/615opm/wa_state_woman_moves_across_country_11_years/ OK, since we left off, I took LAs advice and got a lawyer, did the paternity test ASAP and...holy crap...broadsided with a DNA match. That was about 9 months ago, and I've been hesitant to update until now. Long story short, we've been sending legal notices back and forth between my representation and hers (the state) for almost a full year. A few months ago a court date was set...and she didn't show, so the state held it over for trial. That date was recently set. I am not asking for custody or visitation as I have no real connection to this child beyond the obvious, nor do I have a desire to be a parent. Best case scenario- if she doesn't show a second time, the case will be dismissed. Otherwise, I'm expecting I'll be on the hook for support of some kind. I know my state is rather progressive, but not so much when it comes to family law and fathers rights. Obviously, I'm hoping she flakes out again. Regardless of what happens, I hope this serves as a cautionary tale to others at the very least. I would say the oft shared reddit phrase "Don't stick your dick in crazy" should be amended to "Don't even show your dick to crazy", but in this case "crazy" was impossible to spot until it was too late. I'll be back with an update after the trial. [link] [comments]  |
| Got scammed on Etsy; PayPal closed case in seller’s favor. Posted: 27 Jan 2018 06:43 AM PST I'm located in Boston, MA. I'm posting on behalf of my gf so I don't know where the seller is located, but so believe they are US based. Will update the post siunkore info when possible. My girlfriend bought me a ring from Etsy for Christmas. It's a very thin, adjustable rose gold band with both of our birth stones. Birth stone rings usually run for about $50, but she paid a few hundred for mine because the listing said it was solid 14k rose gold and she didn't want something plated that would tarnish (I always forget to remove my rings for work). Within about a week, it started to look silver. We messaged the seller on Etsy and she said that wasn't possible, so we opened a PayPal dispute. The seller responded again (in the dispute comments) that that wasn't possible because the ring had a 14k stamp. It doesn't. It's WAY too thin of a ring to have a stamp, even if it was real. We uploaded photos, explained that the ring did not in fact have a stamp. Today, PayPal closed the case in the seller's favor, saying that she had sufficiently proved that the ring we received matched the item description. We went back to the item description, and the materials list now includes sterling silver and several other materials that weren't listed previously. We have a screenshot from our purchase history that says "Options: solid 14k rose gold" but never uploaded it to the PayPal claim because we didn't realize she'd altered the listing. There's no option in PayPal for us to reopen the case and dispute the outcome, and small claims isn't feasible because we're remote and travel costs would outweigh the value of the ring, but this is a lot of money to us. Do we have any legal recourse? Is there a way we can force PayPal to honor their buyer protection? tldr: bought a "solid" rose gold ring, it turned silver in a few weeks. opened paypal claim, seller changed item description, paypal ruled against us. what else can we do?

| (OHIO) Finacee's (26F) parents set up a Life Lock account in her name, using her SSN, to soy on her. Posted: 27 Jan 2018 12:13 PM PST This is a complicated story so I'll try to make it short. My Fiancee comes from an extremely Catholic and controlling family. I am non religious and we have recently gotten engaged to her parents extreme dismay. This has caused a lot of tension between her and her family. Her family is very controlling, have gone as far as looking up texts and phone call records of one of the other siblings on their family plan. We have since gotten on our own plan. We recently bought a house together so she could move out of her brothers place, the thing her father said would have crossed the line so we kept it secret. He had just found out through a notification from Life Lock, a service my fiancee has never set up. He has access to her credit history and other personal info. We're assuming he was able to do this because he has her SSN and birthday etc. He has done some other shady things to keep tabs on her so this one doesn't surprise me. She is now considering a restraining order. What is the legal recourse from this? Is what her father did illegal or considered fraud? Thanks for any advice. EDIT: "...to spy on her", typo in the title [link] [comments]  |
| disabled husband being sued by state for back child support Posted: 27 Jan 2018 08:01 AM PST Hi everyone, In December 2017 I married a man with a 15 year old child from a former marriage. He began paying child support in 2003 when he and his ex divorced. At the time he could afford the ~$700 monthly payments as he had a great job in the military. In 2009 he became disabled and was medically discharged (honorably) from the military and has since received only $350/month from VA Disability as he missed proper military retirement by 6 months of service. When the disability happened, he filed paperwork to have the support payments reduced to reflect his new circumstances, but the state of Florida did not approve his request to change. He had no assets he could have sold to make the payments either. His ex (who lives on Welfare) moved to Tennessee who took over handling the case. He moved to Alabama and filed yearly paperwork to try to get the support payments adjusted but was denied each time. We met, had a child of our own, got married, and moved to Georgia for a great professional opportunity for me. Today he received a certified letter that our former county in Alabama (he had not changed his address yet) was taking him to small claims court on behalf of Tennessee for back child support in the sum of $52,000 (from what I've read to cover the costs of providing public assistance?). We are very lost as to what we should do and have very little money of our own to get a lawyer as I am a PhD student supporting our family on a modest stipend. I would love some advice if anyone has an idea where we could start and also if anyone knows the chances that he could go to jail over this. He's planing to call both TN and AL Monday to explain the situation, but I know that once they've gone through the trouble of taking action they will not just let this go. How bad is this? What could be the implications? Do we have decent chances of resolving this without significant expense? [link] [comments]  |
| AB - Can I Make My Girlfriend A Tenant To Keep My House Posted: 27 Jan 2018 12:26 PM PST more or less in the title, basically I'm buying a house with 100% my money and in my name, but after taking possession I would like to have my girlfriend move in, I've heard some horror stories of girlfriends claiming common law marriage during break ups and taking a portion of the ex boyfriends house because they've lived together for X amount of years I'm looking to make sure this doesnt happen, from what i've been told if I sign her on as being a tenant and claim her portion of "rent" as income, pay taxes accordingly and follow all tenant/landlord guidelines it covers me under "innkeepers laws" and if we break up up I can "evict" her and because she isn't paying the mortgage directly I keeps her from claiming ownership, and keeps her listed legally as a tenant rather than letting the province force common law marriage on us how true is this, and if it isn't is there any legal way to insulate myself from having my house taken if we break up (as an aside, I'm just a prudent person and got taken advantage of by a previous relationship, my current girlfriend and me are very solid, but better safe than sorry) [link] [comments]  |
| [AZ] Termination of Parental Rights, Name Change or both? Posted: 27 Jan 2018 07:01 AM PST I have a child who is 15 with a man that I was never married to. We parted ways back in 2009 and have a court order regarding our child (also entered in 2009). The court order states that I have sole legal custody and joint physical custody with his parenting time being one hour of supervised visitation with a therapist once a week. At the time no child support was ordered due to him receiving SSDI and our child was receiving a check due to the father's SSDI benefit. He was not consistent with exercising his weekly visitations and he eventually stopped all together in early 2011. I have not had any contact with him since. Towards the end of 2011 I received a letter from Social Security saying that my child's benefits (monthly check) through her father was ceasing immediately. My child has been requesting that their name be changed to my last name. I went two years ago and did a consultation with a family lawyer to see what my options were regarding terminating parental rights and a name change for a minor. I was told that the name change would be fairly simple but since I wasn't married terminating his parental rights would be next to impossible. I decided not to poke a sleeping bear and leave it alone in case trying to locate and take him to court might make him decide to exercise his hour a week again. Fast forward to the present, my child is getting to that stage in life where legal documents are going to start forming i.e. driver's license, high school diploma, etc and is again asking for their last name to be changed. I hired a PI who has performed a skip trace locator.. (think that's what it's called) and his last know address is from 2011 which resulted in an eviction. I then contacted a second family law firm and this one is giving me completely different advice. They are saying a name change would be difficult without parental rights being terminated but that I have a good case with the amount of time that has past with zero contact. My other concern was that in a worst case scenario he would be granted visitation again but the lawyer said that my child is 15 and can refuse to go to visitation. This all sounds great but has me wondering if it is too good to be true and is the exact opposite of my last consultation. Legal questions: Do I need to terminate parental rights to change my child's last name? How unheard of/difficult is it to terminate parental rights in AZ without a step-parent adoption? If worse case scenario the father tries to exercise visitation again how much does a 15 year old's wishes impact a court's decision in awarding visitation? Edit: additional question. My biggest fear is him somehow convincing a judge to give him unsupervised visitation. The previous judge included a provision in the court order that he could not seek additional visitation time without the court-appointed therapist signing off on the court case would it be likely that he could overturn the prior judge's order if my ex requested unsupervised or additional visitation time?

| Posted: 27 Jan 2018 10:03 AM PST First off, I am 19 years old living in the United States, and I filled out draft forms when I had a recruiter from the marines talk to me in 12th grade. Now, around December I received the DOJ letter, filled out the information, and sent it in. I have received this letter for the fourth time today, and sent it in, and it seems to get more dire each time. I am a legal U.S. citizen, and I have no clue why they are unable to sign me up to the Selective Service act. I've done it online as well, gone through the recruiter in 12th grade, and sent the letter in 4 times: how can I get in this stupid draft form so I don't get threatened with a 250,000 fine and jail time? ( (Yes, I've put a stamp on the form, left it in the mail-box, and used my correct SSN) *Edit: turns out I've been registered in the Selective service program since November of 2016, so there should literally be no reason I should receive this letter.

| Friend's wife is going to try and get alimony. Posted: 27 Jan 2018 05:42 AM PST I wanted to ask for my friend, help him out by researching before he has to go to court. His wife cheated 4 times and he has screen shots of the photos she sent to some guy. She said "I was talking about getting divorced from him at that point but we made up" Recently my friend left her. I guess he was tired of her always cheating. They live in South carolina. I was wondering if he can avoid paying alimony if he has screen shots (Proof she cheated) if she's saying "I was talking about divorce and we weren't together then"? Is it still considered adultery if they were legally married when she did it? [link] [comments]  |
| (Pennsylvania) Neighbors cable line is exposed in my backyard. Posted: 27 Jan 2018 06:52 AM PST On phone so sorry about formatting. Over the summer my neighbor changed her cable company to, let's call it Bombast. There was no line going to her house so they needed to run one across my backyard. It was supposed to run along the fence line and be buried within 2 weeks. I gave permission for them to enter my yard and do this. They "buried" it less than 1/2 an inch into the ground and cut across the back corner of my lot. No real big deal but there were spots it was exposed. When raking this fall I caught my foot on an exposed portion and pulled up at least 40' of the wire. I went next door to ask my neighbor to call the cable company to have the line buried again. That was 4 months ago. I have called the cable company directly and was told I had to be the customer. I have asked her again to call but as of yet nothing had happened. I have 2 dogs, one that like to chew. What are my liabilities if my dog chews through the line and how can I get this buried. I'd bury it myself but if I damage it I don't want to be held financially responsible. [link] [comments]  |
| (UPDATE) Can someone with Dementia revoke a POA with a notarized letter? Posted: 27 Jan 2018 12:46 PM PST Original Post Here Well I feel like I just lived an M. Night Shyamalan Movie, because this ended with a twist, that I didn't see coming. The buyer was willing to wait until all of this cleared up, basically risking their earnest money while I had zero clue who was able to validly sign anything (they did get it $9100 below asking so I guess I can't blame them). After I advised the son, that he'd need to get an attorney to go after conservatorship, he decided that he'd strengthen his case by calling adult protective services. This ultimately lead to his own undoing. You read that last sentence correctly, his own. You see, he'd apparently helped himself to Mom's bank account on several occasions. APS was who determined this fact and that Mom pulled the POA after her niece discovered it. Turns out, the son had of course lied to me about how far her dementia had progressed and I relied on that representation (my broker chewed my ass hard for that one). You would think he'd be smarter than that, but allow me to shed some light on the son. He's someone I would personally describe as not all there and possibly himself beginning to see some signs of early onset dementia. I'm no mental health expert and pushed forward anyway because who else did I have to work with. He hid the crazy until the listing agreement was signed. So all-in-all, my broker had me verify that I did in fact speak with APS and what I determined was true. My broker reached out to the family and talked to the mother and confirmed all that we knew. Title said they'd be willing to move forward so long as they receive a doctor's note stating she can understand what she's signing and we'll be able to press on to closing with only a week worth of delay and an extra contract addendum.

| Posted: 27 Jan 2018 07:51 AM PST Obvious throwaway. Urgent(ish) question with a lot of backstory. I don't know what to share or what not to, so if I'm doing this wrong, please tell me and I'll correct this. Thanks in advance. Long story short, I'm in Pennsylvania and the mother of an amazing 5 year old. Her father and I were split up well before I even learned I was expecting and as such, it's been contentious ever since. He bounced right after she was born and showed up when she was about a year old suing me for 50% custody. It worked up from supervised visits to where we are today, every other weekend visits with 2 2-hour visits during the week. We live a considerable distance from one another 25 miles, with him being fired from his last few jobs, living above a garage, and most recently taking me in to DR for to request zeroing out his support obligations since he "can't even pay his rent". I have primary custody and this work I've created for my daughter and I is all she knows. Playdates, preschool, birthday parties, this community *we live in a really small town where everyone knows one another, this is her world. Over the past 3 years we've been to co-parenting counseling, a million pre-trials, conciliations, you name it. Everything except an actual trial. He wants 50% and absolutely nothing less is acceptable for him. I'm fucking tired. I'm going broke. I'm done, so done and want this to all finally go to court so this hell can end. It's been a disaster, once he even took me back to court because our daughter didn't want to continue ballet so he wanted his support lowered $30 a month. I had to take half a day off of work and pay my attorney for this. Judges have had to issue orders banning him from videotaping us, which he was secretly, long story. So much of his behavior and actions tell me this isn't about our daughter but about getting revenge on me. Anyway, this is all just background. Fast forward to yesterday. We had a last minute mediation on the recommendation of both of our attorneys. I think it was like a hail mary to try to get us out of having to go to court. Our attorneys both recommended this independent mediator and former conciliator in a different county. We both paid $500 to do this and we were prepared to spend 4 hours in a conference room, just me, my daughter's father, and the mediator. I've got some advice from my attorney, stick to why 50% is NOT in the best interest of my daughter, focus on her, reiterate my points why 50% wont work, etc, The mediator starts out by sharing that he himself is in the middle of a messy separation from his wife. She took the kids, went to Philly and even though she said she'd be gone a year, but she's been gone for three. He proposes a few different calendars which are all progressively working us to 50/50 custody. I try to counter with other proposed schedules. He keeps telling me how unpredictable the judge we are assigned can be. How she gave custody of a kid in his last case to an accused abuser, so "who knows how she may rule if you get to court. you don't want to find out". He is steadily pushing a 2-2-5-5- calendar. And despite my daughter's father saying, whatever we come up with today, he's STILL going to keep proceedings going for 50/50 custody (so i'm thinking, what's the point of this then?). I ask that question, what are we doing here then? And the mediator states (more than once), "Well I can't blame him, as a dad I would want 50% custody too" He keeps veering off topic and sharing personal stories. About how he has to wrap this up because he has to drive to philly to get his kids tonight and drive back home because "the kids mom and her new boyfriend want to go to the spa this weekend so i have to watch the kids". Ultimately and through gritted teeth, i agreed to a schedule for this month, it's not an order, just a temporary agreement made through mediation with a schedule I DO NOT LIKE. But I felt like i didn't have a lot of choices, We go back to this mediator on the 22nd to review if and how well it did or did not work. There, if we agree to it and if it worked, we would sign an agreement and the mediator would submit it to the courts as a final arrangement...until my ex takes me back for the rest of the 50% custody. I emailed my attorney directly afterwards but she was "trying to get out of here for the weekend and has court monday so email her tuesday that you need to talk". I'm not okay with that either. Okay, so today, with a slightly more clearer head. I am angry. So angry. This guy was not impartial. He was not a neutral third party. Everything out of his mouth was about his ex wife and his kids and his situation and how "as a dad" he can relate and understand my daughters' father and his intentions and position. In my anger I googled him and found he's been brought up upon a number of disciplinary actions by the State of PA. Most recent of which was a "public reprimand" referencing numerous other times he's f'd up as an attorney. This schedule we created yesterday was not a formally binding one. It was just a verbal agreement. I'm pissed off and want to file a complaint about the mediator. And I want to throw this tentative schedule in the trash and stick with what we had until we can just go to court or somewhere and get this resolved. I realize I sound like a crazy person and I'm sorry in advance if I'm rambling. I'm spiraling over here and cannot believe this is real life. Am I within my rights to throw this verbal agreement away? How bad does it look for me? Do I have enough for a complaint about the mediator? Any direction is very much needed. Thank you.

| Virginia, US. Sister basically abandoned her son for 4 years and he is overseas. Custody advise Posted: 27 Jan 2018 09:35 AM PST Hello, I know this is complicated but I would like advice on where to start. I live in Virginia, sister lives in MA and her son is with our mother overseas. It will be 4 years since he went to see his grandmother for a vacation which turned to him staying a year because she was in college and needed help to care for him. A year turned 2, 3 and now almost 4. Dad was in the picture for a short time. Actually the same as my sister. She had her son until he was 8 months and then flew home ( overseas) and stayed with mom for 8 months to then leave her son with our mom until he was 4y.o. She got him back to US and had him for a year and after that split up with the father and son went to stay with grandmother for vacation with turned into 4yrs. Father never called in these last 4 years, never supported the child. Mother rarely calls now and hasn't since before Christmas. She only sent our mom maybe $200 in all these years. No clothing, ocasional gifts and last one maybe a year ago. She also collected some sort of government assistance and profited from college family housing while not having her son with her. We don't have her phone number, neither know where she lives. She lied to our mom a few months ago, crying hysterically asking for money so mom asked me to send her $2500. I reluctally did but only because I didn't want my mom upset. Found out 2 weeks later that she lied about why she needed it. This will be for another post Question Can I petition for custody? I and him are US citizens if that matters. We would like for him come here and go to school here. He will be 9.y.o. What steps do we need to take first? I will be consulting a family lawyer soon but haven't found the time for an appointment yet. Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| Is it insider trading to buy stock in a company that is a client of my girlfriend’s company? Posted: 27 Jan 2018 09:22 AM PST Hey r/legaladvice, So here's the situation. My girlfriend works in an industry that sells products through large and small retail stores, think Target, Kmart, etc., but also through various smaller retail stores. She said something to me to the effect of, "Company X did really poorly last year, but they're ramping their orders back up, it seems like they're about to have a comeback". My girlfriend specifically doesn't manage company X's account, but she just in general knows that her company is expanding their business with them. Is this insider trading? The definitions I see on Google are surprisingly vague so I can't tell. I definitely don't want to run afoul with the SEC over an investment of a few thousand. [link] [comments]  |
| I'm a University Employee and They Lied About My Tax Status (PA) Posted: 27 Jan 2018 08:18 AM PST I got hired for a fellowship at a local university in the middle of '17. When I was hired, my offer letter clearly and explicitly stated that my stipend would be untaxable. About a month after starting the job, I was informed that the stipend would actually be taxable, since I wasn't enrolled as a student in the school (which was never going to be the case, before or after the offer letter). Skip ahead to tax season, and I've just been informed by the university that I might be liable for tax penalties, since I hadn't been withholding taxes quarterly (which I was never directed to the university to do). Meanwhile, they also refused to withhold taxes for us, which we requested initially. My colleagues and I have tried asking the university's accounting office for clarification and help with our confusing tax status, and after several requests, they're outright refusing to assist beyond providing links to irs.gov. At this point, we're all very frustrated and wondering whether we have a legal case against the university for reneging on the initial untaxed stipend offer. I'm less concerned with not paying taxes than I am with not paying the penalty, since this whole situation arose from the university providing false and contradictory information for approximately the first month of employment. Does anyone have advice in this situation? Should we just suck it up and pay the penalty, or should we lawyer up and try playing hardball until the university shows some willingness to help us get out of this whole they dug for us? Thanks in advance for any help... [link] [comments]  |
| My son's mother apparently made threats to kill herself and my son Posted: 26 Jan 2018 07:30 PM PST I am in Fairfax County, Virginia. Like the title says, my son's mother, that I was never married to, has made threats to kill herself and my son. I have no idea what to do now. Backstory: My son's mother and I have a 50/50 custody agreement that we just updated in August 2017. I have him from Sunday morning until I drop him off at school on Wednesday(public kindergarten at a K-6 elementary school), she has him from when she picks him up on Wednesday until I get him Sunday mornings. On January 20th, I received an email from her stating that she "needs to receive medical treatment at a residential facility in Memphis." She said the program is for at least 30 days and that she will be unable to care for him during this time. She later informed me this was "a residential treatment program for severe PTSD." She claimed in October 2017 that her now ex boyfriend beat her up and tried to kill her. I have been caring for my son with the help of my family this entire week. Tonight I received a call from a police officer asking if I knew where my son's mother was and I stated that to the best of my knowledge she was in Memphis. He confirmed that this agrees with the information that he has. He goes on to inform me that a CPS complaint (I don't remember the exact word) has been filed against her as she allegedly made threats to kill herself and my son. He read me the email that he received from CPS that said something along the lines of, she wanted to kill herself but she could never kill herself without taking someone with her and that she knows that her 6 year old son has always wanted to go to heaven with her. This was all at 7:00 pm. My son is currently sleeping in his room in my house and he is safe. I have sent an email to my attorney that did both my initial and most recent custody agreements. I will call the number that he gave for the CPS hotline in the morning and ask to speak to the person who's name he gave me, or anyone. I told the officer to contact me with anything that he needs. My question is, what do I do now? Obviously I will have to speak with my lawyer and I will follow her advice. Can I file a protective order for my son against his mom? How do I prevent her from getting him from school? I know she has only been in her program for 6 days, but I don't trust that she can't get out and try to come see him. How to I prevent her from seeing him when our court order says she has him for half the week. Thank you for all the help. Sorry for formatting and spelling and any other errors. I'm clearly out of my mind right now. Edit I want to thank everyone for their advice, help and support. I spoke with my attorney and she will be filing a petition for an emergency order on Monday. My son is safe with me and will not be with her until the court orders me to do so, if they do, at a later date. [link] [comments]  |
| I lied in a fender bender out of fear. Now I want to make it right Posted: 27 Jan 2018 09:01 AM PST in Connecticut. It was a small fender bender. maybe a few thousand worth of damage. Both parties insured. At time of accident, didn't appear to be any injuries although other party has hired a personal injury lawyer. All I know is soft tissue damage. To keep things brief the end result of the accident made it look like the other party was at fault and there were no witnesses so I took advantage of that even though it was my fault and both parties knew it. I was ashamed that it had happened. My SO is always on me about paying attention so I was ashamed to tell her. I was scared about my rates rising and money, deductibles, and tickets due to supporting my family. These are all TERRIBLE excuses. And I've basically been left to stew on this because the local PD is months behind on police reports. And we are still waiting. I don't want a lawsuit hanging over my head. I have my son and family which is my #1 priority now. I keep thinking that the best option is that the police can't determine it was anyones fault. Which now seems crazy as to why I didn't just say it was my fault in the first place as the results would have been the same. I fucked up. And its causing me immense anxiety(as I rightfully deserve) How can I make this right with as little repercussion as possible. I want to say it was my fault and pay up. But obviously I don't want to go to jail for lying to the cops. Although I could just be "WebMDing" myself. I'm living in fear that I've just ruined my life over a tiny fenderbender. And I just want it to be over. Let the pitchforking ensue. [link] [comments]  |

| Told by new employer work will have to wait after I gave notice to old employer/my last day Posted: 27 Jan 2018 07:46 AM PST So I interviewed and got a job with a new agency. The agency told me that I would start this coming week on Monday. Yesterday on my last day of work I'm told by the new agency that there's been a setback and won't start until later. When I asked about whether or not I'll be paid for those days since it's no fault of my own I was told no and that the agency only pays for hours worked. One of the employees for the company is offering to loan me money in the interim but I explained to them that while that is a nice gesture I didn't want to take a loan and still be out money. I asked my representative that gave me the go ahead to give my notice if there's anything the agency could do like give me a temp role or something while the new position starts and she told me no. I asked to speak to someone in HR and was told they'd setup a conference call this week but I'm honestly at a loss here. Are there any law's against this in California? The kicker is that this will be a government role too, not some dinky hole in the wall. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jan 2018 08:23 AM PST I am a 19 year old male, and I live in Saint Louis, Missouri Well, a month ago I hit rock bottom; and felt like I had no where to go... I couldn't hang on anymore; I just gave up. Thankfully some part of me wanted to give one last chance. I called my cities non-emergency line and talked to them... long story short, they sent the ambulance, police, and fire men to my house and told me "you hav to go to the hospital" I said "I don't want to go." My sister was there for proof. They ended up taking me to the hospital. Well, a month later, I'm receiving a bill of $1,600 from my city for their services... I never consented to the ambulance coming over nor the trip to the hospital or the help there received. I just wanted to talk. Is there anyway out of this bill, or do I have to pay it?

| Neighbor has an aggressive dog in shared courtyard [GA] Posted: 27 Jan 2018 11:21 AM PST I live in a townhouse, and share a courtyard with two other neighbors. One of my neighbors has an aggressive dog, which she allows to run around the courtyard without a leash. The dog has attempted to bite me before, and I've had to pepper spray it to get away. I can't leave my house without the dog running up to me and being aggressive. The landlord refuses to do anything, since the neighbor works for the rental company, and the police and animal control have visited on multiple occasions but aren't doing much. I got a Good Behavior Warrant against her boyfriend regarding the dog, but he doesn't currently live there. I bought a taser, which I plan on using if the dog approaches me aggressively again. What are my legal rights in terms of defending myself from this dog? I want to make sure I'm safe, while also making sure I'm acting within the law. EDIT: The weapon I bought is a stun gun, not a taser. It doesn't shoot prongs, and only works if I press it against someone's skin. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Jan 2018 09:30 AM PST A week ago, one of my friends suffered a head injury on-the-job. He needs a CAT scan for proper diagnosis, but can't afford one, and he doesn't have insurance. Can he file a worker's comp claim for 100% of his medical expenses? And if so, does that work by reimbursement, or does that work by submitting the bills for direct payment? Or what? Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Trying to pay back a sign-on bonus, but ex-employer is literally too lazy to take it Posted: 27 Jan 2018 12:19 PM PST Hello all. Throwaway here. I got a job working for the U.S. Government. It came with a nice sign-on bonus, but was under the stipulation that I had to stay at the job for 2 years. If I left before the 2 years was up, I would have to pay back the bonus on a pro-rated basis. Long story short, I quit, it hadn't been 2 years, and I owe them some of my sign-on bonus. I have been calling them every since, trying to get them to take the money, but they haven't bothered to fill out any of the necessary paperwork. It's been 9 months since I left and I still get health insurance cards and blank pay stubs in the mail. Can they string me along forever? I've heard of some ex-employees getting contacted to pay back their bonuses YEARS later (rumors are that it sometimes has interest added on). Surely after a certain amount of time has passed, it would be too late to ask for the money back, right? Honestly, I just want to give them the money and be done with it. (I live in UT.)
