| Posted: 01 Jun 2018 04:06 PM PDT Thanks for the help! She ended up taking me to court. Her lawyer focused a lot on my criminal record (which had happened before I even met her, and she married me knowing it). Her lawyer claimed otherwise, that I had hidden my record from her and she only learned about it after our marriage. This was very easy for me and my lawyer to disprove as I had email communications with her acknowledging my record. She insisted the emails not being in her inbox is proof that the emails are made up. Perhaps she seriously thought deleting the emails from her account would delete them from mine too. Her own lawyer looked really upset after this. She dropped the case immediately after that hearing. Her own husband apologized to me, said he wouldn't have agreed come forward for adoption if he knew the truth. He was a decent guy. Ex lied to him about me to get him to adopt my son. It's been a couple of months since then and according to my son they're now separated. I'm talking to my lawyer to change the custody agreement too. [link] [comments]  |
| Are Vegan Workplaces Legal in CA? Posted: 02 Jun 2018 10:52 AM PDT Hi r/legaladvice, I'm interviewing with several companies currently in Los Angeles CA and I met with one that is a vegan workplace. They said no animal products are allowed in their workplace at all, and even if we were to go out to a "team dinner" that I would not be allowed to eat any animal products at a restaurant. My question is: is this legal in CA? I have a lot of respect for vegans/vegetarians even though I eat meat, but I really don't like the idea of somebody else forcing their beliefs upon me. And even if this is legal, it's a bit of a red flag for me as it seems overly controlling. Based on a quick google search I couldn't find anything...any relevant laws/cases are welcomed, thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| School suddenly added $2,140 to tuition with one-day notice and it must be paid in full by today Posted: 02 Jun 2018 11:55 AM PDT All business offices are closed for the weekend, so I have no one on-staff I can talk to about this. The email notifying me of the charge was sent immediately after the business office closed yesterday, so I wasn't able to talk to anyone then either. I only have $700 that I can spend and that was originally going to be my budget for expenses over the entire month. My mom is willing to help cover the rest, but I really don't want to drain her of over a thousand dollars. Is there any way I can postpone paying until I can find a way to sort this out? EDIT: I am located in Tennessee. [link] [comments]  |
| [CAN, AB] Pro-life protesters with gruesome images at our school Posted: 02 Jun 2018 09:33 AM PDT DISCLAIMER: I do not have anything against pro-lifers, but if you decide that standing outside a school with pictures of deformed dead babies is OK, then I have something against you. I go to a high school in Alberta and from time to time, pro-life people will stand on the sidewalk near our school (which is apparently perfectly legal) and it's getting very annoying. It's obvious that nobody at our school is interested and from several other boys and girls I've heard that they hate what they're doing as well. Is there a legal recourse I can use? I am in grade 11 so anything involving money is gonna be tough. If not, can I get back at them in a legal way? Edit: Read through every comment and I think I'll get a few posters ready to counter-protest when they do come. Thanks to everyone for contributing! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jun 2018 02:08 PM PDT MI: This is my last post. Memorial weekend, my mom and my grandma went out and didn't come back until Tuesday. I decided to use that time to search through their personal belongings. Since she was 15, my mom has kept a personal journal where she just talks about what happened in her life and how she feels. She used to see a therapist when she was around the same age (15) and the therapist recommended keeping a diary and she has kept one since. Out of respect, I have never looked through her personal belongings but honestly, I'm tired of her antics. I looked through her journal(s) and I found a few entries that were relevant to my situation. As expected, my mom was lying. She dated my father for four months, they had a nasty breakup, and in retaliation she decided to keep her pregnancy completely secret and cut all contact from him. I was able to find a name and there is one picture of them together. I also found out what he majored in and the entry confirmed what college he went to (the same one as my mother). I took a picture on my phone of the journal entries and the picture of them together and stored them in a flashdrive for safe-keeping. Unfortunately, my mom found out that I had searched through her personal belongings. I was a bit careless. She was very angry with me and told me that I have to pack my things and move out by Sunday. My grandmother is supporting her and she is also very angry with me. Fortunately, they cannot legally kick me out until I turn 18. I guess they could try and physically remove me but I'm 8 inches taller than them and if they try anything, I won't hesitate to call the cops. I'm seriously sick of their shit. I already made it clear I will move out after I graduate and they won't ever see me again. The good news is that I have a name for my father. I did some basic searching online and there are a ton of results. When I get more time, I plan on going through every search result for his name and narrowing down the list using the information I know. Once I narrow it down, I will contact my potential father and try and confirm paternity. I will also try contacting the Alumni Association of the college my father went to and see if I can get in touch with him like that. If that doesn't work, I will go to some DNA service like "use23andme" and try to find some family members from there. I'm also going to try and reach out to my uncle and aunt (mom's side). I haven't seen them since I was a kid but that's because they despise my mom and grandma. I hope they don't hate me too but its worth a shot. My optimistic goal is that I want to find out who my father is and confirm paternity and hopefully meet him before May 1st of 2019. I want to find him by that date because that is when I have to accept admission to a college. I plan on applying to a ton of colleges (hopefully I can get into an Ivy) and if I can find my dad, perhaps, I can attend a college closer to him. I hope he's a good person, or at the very least, I hope he's alive. My mom's account of things were not very good but she's not a good person and I don't really trust her retelling of events. Either way, I just want to know who he is and even if he isn't a great person, I have a whole new family and I would honestly love to know them. [link] [comments]  |
| [Ga] Divorce Morality Clause specifies "residence". Posted: 02 Jun 2018 05:58 AM PDT The divorce agreement reads as follows: "Neither person shall have any person of the opposite sex not related by blood or marriage stay overnight at his or her residence while (son) is in his or her physical custody". I picked my son up yesterday to take him to see his grandmother, she just entered Hospice, with my gf and her 10 y/o daughter. Grandmother lives 5 hours away so we got a room in town. I slept with my son and she slept with her daughter. My ex is flipping out because I violated the custody agreement. I don't agree. The language intentionally specifies "...at his or her residence" and I did agree to that. My gf does not stay at my residence when I have my son. I did not agree to the all encompassing traditional clause of a blanket, "No company of the opposite sex can spend the night while child is in custody". When it was agreed on, specific terms were used so it wouldn't be open to interpretation. I feel like this clause is accomplishes that and don't understand why she would think "...at his or her residence" would be applicable to every place and anywhere we go. Not that it's relevant but we've been dating for 2 years now. I understand why you would put a clause in place to keep a new chick or guy from staying over each time he came to visit or from coming in and out of her home while he lives there. However, that's not the case here. Regardless of anyone's feelings at this point, is this clause open to interpretation and applicable to everywhere? I feel like it's pretty cut and dry and only agreed to it for that reason. Again, I wouldn't have if the legal term "residence" was all encompassing and included anywhere I went. Am I in contempt, is she right? Thanks all! Edit: Just realized I may have unintentionally left out crucial information. So I apologize for that. A lot of the arguments on here are on what the intent was vs. the actual language used. The only time we went before a judge was for custody reasons, she wouls only let me see him an hour or so a month at a bookstore with her and her parents. The divorce agreement, including the above clause, was drawn up by our lawyers, revised multiple times and eventually agreed on between us. We never had to go back before a judge after the initial custody hearing. So, as for intent, it's extremely likely that we both interpreted that clause in different ways. I read it in a specific way because the entire document is very specific and she must have read it in a more general way. We both signed but if my intent was one thing and hers was another, doesn't it get really convoluted if we have to start judging the clause by it's intent? Who's intent do we use?

| Posted: 01 Jun 2018 07:51 PM PDT I guess the worst case scenario is she can evict my roommate, but...Jesus. This is such a fucking mess. I wouldn't have even moved into this place EXCEPT that I needed somewhere to die, basically. So what can she do to prevent me from hospicing at home? Anything? Can she evict my roommate if I do? ETA: This revocation was verbal. Again, I moved in to the house with the understanding I would be able to die there. She has told my rommate now that that isn't okay any longer. [link] [comments]  |
| (PA) Are businesses allowed to police their sidewalks? Posted: 02 Jun 2018 11:52 AM PDT This is going to sound like a libertarian wet dream but here goes: There's a store in my city that has a sign up outside that says "No smoking: $25 fine" and they have a security guard out on the sidewalk handing out tickets to people who walk past smoking. My coworker was handed a ticket and of course knows that they don't really have any legal teeth to enforce this, especially since they don't have his name, but I'm concerned for others who might not know this and just pay them right there. Is there any way they can be prevented from handing out these fake tickets? They just look like a receipt and say "Pay inside or make check payable to $business_name". Is this a case of impersonating a police officer? Are they even allowed to make rules about what can happen on their sidewalk? Thanks for your help. [link] [comments]  |
| New Landlord wants to charge me almost double for utilities that I do not use Posted: 02 Jun 2018 11:30 AM PDT AZ - A company bought the property that I rent an apartment in and sent out a letter saying that instead of paying exactly what we are using for utilities, apartments will now pay a flat fee based on the type of apartment they live in. I live in an apartment that they assigned will now pay X amount. Their new fee is almost double what I have ever paid in nearly a year of living here, which has always been based on my exact utility usage until now. They claim their amount is based on averages of each apartment type and is being enforced to prevent tenants from receiving unexpectedly high bills--though, if I have to pay their new utility fee, I will ALWAYS have high bills. I still have a few months left on my lease and I have never signed anything with this new company. Is this even legal? I have printed and shared my previous utility bills with management and they said they will get back to me but I want to be prepared with information in the case they try to force me to pay their ridiculous fee. Thank you for any helpful information you can provide. INFO FROM LEASE: 1. Water/Sewer/Trash/Gas Billed by The utilities company payable to the community with rent. It details that these utilities are not flat rates, but directly billed through the utilities company.

| Best way to present SMS and Facebook messages in small claims court? Posted: 02 Jun 2018 11:28 AM PDT I need to take my landlord to small claims court to get back my security deposit. He is claiming that I abandoned the property without notice when in actuality, we have both text message and Facebook Messenger conversations where I give my notice and he accepts it. What is the best way to present this evidence in small claims court? Should I print off screen shots of the relevant messages in color onto large display boards with the dates visible? Or can you just show screenshots from your laptop/iPad screen? It's a lot of money, and I absolutely deserve it so I would like to be as professional and prepared as possible in court. Sincere apologies if this has been asked before. I did several searches and couldn't find this specific question already asked. Edit: I am in Colorado. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jun 2018 09:46 AM PDT TL;DR: My brother-in-law split from his wife about four years ago. Last week he was diagnosed with cancer at 37. Ex-wife will get custody if he dies and is abusive and has sought to separate the children from the rest of the family in the past. Is there any legal recourse for us as the children's aunts, uncles and grandparents to compel her to let us stay in there lives? EDIT: This is in New York state. The rundown: I'm not privy to the details of the custody agreement, but as I understand it my brother-in-law is the "primary custodian," but his ex-wife has shared or joint custody of the three minor children. (Please excuse my ignorance of the exact legal meaning of all this. Clarification is appreciated!) As I understand it, he's supposed to be the final word on things like education and healthcare, etc. but she enjoys equal time with the kids, i.e. split all holidays and birthdays, two weeks of custody out of each month. She is allowed to be present for any and all appointments or events the children are involved in: healthcare, parent-teacher conferences, extracurricular activities and the like. He paid her spousal support for a period, but that's over. He still pays her maintenance for the kids. (Plus he's still paying off the balances on several credit cards she opened and maxed out during the divorce, but that's a whole other gripe that isn't directly related to this question, I guess.) During their marriage, his ex-wife was emotionally and physically abusive to him and the children and was intensely manipulative of the his relationships outside the marriage. To give you an idea, I never met or even laid eyes on the kids for the first three years that I was part of this family. She would apparently fly into a rage whenever he snuck the kids out to see their grandparents for a few minutes. She screamed at him and the kids daily. She attacked him numerous times, at least once with a kitchen knife. If she thought my brother-in-law had defied her in some way, she would threaten to punish him by finding a pedophile to abuse the children. Despite all this, she actually was the one who initiated divorce proceedings. I can only assume it's because ultimately she couldn't totally control my brother-in-law. We were all incredibly surprised and happy when he was not only given equal time with the kids but also this "primary custody." She didn't do herself any favors in court, and even in a locale and before a judge who notoriously favors mothers in divorces, he (partly) won out. Since the divorce, she has, of course, remained manipulative, abusive and controlling of the children. She routinely harasses my brother-in-law via email, text and calls. She tosses school supplies and seasonal clothes and tells teachers that he doesn't provide them. When the oldest kid got her first period while with him, she found out and called CPS to report him for child abuse, citing blood in her daughter's underwear (the investigation dismissed the claim). She confiscates anything the kids could communicate with when they are with her. She destroys the kids favorite toys and clothing in front of them if they upset her. I recently found out that she locked my nephew out of her house this winter, at night, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, because she was "done with him tonight." So my brother-in-law goes in for surgery to remove a very large tumor from his gut this coming week, only ten days from initial diagnosis. We won't know until after the surgery, but he's likely got something fairly advanced and will also be getting 6-12 months of chemo after. We are confronting the fact that it's entirely possible he will be dead in a year or two. The rest of the family have grave concerns about the well-being of these kids when the ex-wife has full custody. We're trying to be realistic; we know we aren't going to magic these kids out of the situation given that she'll be the surviving parent. At the least we want to be in their lives so we can support them and keep an eye out for evidence of abuse that might allow us to get them away from their mother. We want to be available if and when they can speak up for themselves and say that they don't want to be with her. My brother-in-law has never had a will (or life insurance, or any of that adult stuff), so we're getting that drafted before his surgery. He will be making his sister the executor of the estate and conservator (correct term?) of any assets left for the kids. We want him to make it known in the will that his wish is that we have custody of the children. It's not going to have any effect on what happens if he dies, but we think if at least we can point to this down the road it'll bolster the case if their mother finally screws up enough for us to challenge her for the kids. Thank you for making it through a much longer read than was probably necessary and thank you for any advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Heading off to college and unsure about what rights I should give to my parents. Posted: 02 Jun 2018 09:09 AM PDT Hello legaladvice community, I'm a high school senior who's heading off to college next year. My family and I live in Maryland but I'm going to NYU next year (which is obviously in NYC). My college advisor sent a packet of information to my family and I and in it they say that I should sign four documents, a HIPAA release, Power of Attorney, Advance Care Directive for Health Care, and a FERPA Release. I don't understand what any of these really are apart from the fact that all or some of them give my parents certain rights over me. Should I be worried about signing any of these?

| Posted: 01 Jun 2018 10:34 PM PDT I work as a substitute teacher and have been working at one school for the past 6 months. There was an incident this past week where a student attempted to push her way into the room. Bad behavior is a usual occurrence with this student, and when she realized she couldn't push her way past me, she decided to make a show of it and yell "You pushed me! I'm telling my mom!" Now, normally a lot of kids play that act and try to get you to let them in to talk with their friends, so I didn't think much of it. Turns out she actually did tell her mother, who filed a police report and showed up the next day screaming at the principal to get me fired. Since technically there was contact (the student pushed her shoulder into my hand trying to get in) the school essentially said "not really worth the hassle in the last 3 weeks of school, were gonna let you go as our long term sub. There are 2 main aspects of this: the school itself and the company that the school contracts the subs from. Since a student complained, the school told the sub company, and I have been suspended until corporate HR reviews the case. The substitute company told me "we know you didn't do anything, but we need to go through all the corporate red tape before you can get back to work". The school administration has told me that even if I am cleared to work as a substitute, they won't let me finish out the year to avoid any more potential issues if the student complains again. The school has told me that they have spoken to students in the room at the time (eyewitnesses) and their testimonies side with me completely, and that the student is either wildly exaggerating or lying outright. The school administration has told me that they will support me by telling the sub company "this student does this all the time, your employee did everything that was expected of him and handled it appropriately". With all the evidence (school administration/other teachers knowing this is a usual for this student, eyewitnesses saying its BS, and the sub company knowing this is not something I would ever do) would it be possible to sue/press charges/anything to the mother/daughter that essentially got my fired? I'm losing out on over $2000 missing the last 3 weeks at that school, solely because of this lie. Even more, I never want this biting me in the ass in the future for me. I'm hoping I can take legal action to essentially clear my name. As of now I have double checked with the police department regarding the police report (they said "it didn't really make much sense" when they read it), I've asked both the sub company and the school administration to send me any and all documentation (especially the testimonies of students in the room that saw what happened), and what the best way to approach the situation is. EDIT: I forgot to mention, the school asked me to finish grading the papers I brought home with me because grades are due very soon. I have no problem finishing them up, but worry because I am technically suspended if the school/the sub company/myself will get in trouble. Any and all help would be much appreciated.

| Another hair stylist is using my name and logo, AB Canada Posted: 02 Jun 2018 10:07 AM PDT Posting for a friend. This is in Alberta. My friend has been her own business now for over 2 years with a very unique logo that includes her initials. She uses this logo on her Facebook, her business cards, her gift certificates, and her sign on her building. I don't want to give away anything, so I will use fake names. The name of her salon has her initials followed by her service, let's say "KR Hair Artistry". In March of this year, a new Facebook page began popping up when you would facebook search this name. A woman a few hours south has started a home salon using the exact same logo and the exact same name (because her initials are the same). Now obviously they're distinctive because one is in one town and one in another town a few hours away, and if you read the info about them it clearly states their true names. But the way she markets is even the same, in her facebook posts she's using quotes from the original KR Hair Artistry page just stupid things like "spring is in the hair". My question is, this other salon doesn't seem very popular but it is using her name and logo and is pretty close to us travel wise. What can she do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jun 2018 11:22 AM PDT Back towards the end of February, I came home to an empty bedroom, and my baby boy gone. During work she took him and ran off to another state without letting me see him one last time. I struggled with the situation day in and day out. I tried meeting with attornies to take the situation to court because I could have her return to the state with him until the courts chose a custodial parent. But I didn't. He was just a few months old. I loved them both so much. I figured it would be in the greater good to let a new mother have her son and that our infant child needed his mother, so I let it go. I've remained in contact. My grandparents and parents still see him from time to time. But I myself have been trapped in another state. A few months have passed, and I'm finally moving to be with him again. This entire time we've agreed on 50/50 custody. But now she's saying "you can have him every other weekend." She changed her mind and is backpedaling. I found out she's going to the courts to push for custody and child support. I just want my baby boy. I need him in my life, and I know he needs his dad too. I'm fucking heartbroken. 4 days a month is not enough time to be the father I want to be for him. In a week I could've been holding my little man. But here she is saying that I can't. What now? Where do I begin? She's running off to the courts while I'm packing my life into a truck to run off to my son. Please help. I can't live without my boy. [link] [comments]  |
| Ex wife’s husband hired P.I and installed GPS tracker on her car on our Property Posted: 01 Jun 2018 07:44 PM PDT Currently, my wife is in chancery court over her son in a custody battle over her rights. Visitation is set for every other weekend, supervised by my wife's parents from fri 6pm- sun 6pm. Last night, my neighbor noticed a car slowly creeping by our house and an individual got out of the vehicle. That individual,placed a GPS tracker on her vehicle, that was parked under our carport, which my car was parked behind her. My neighbor recorded the vehicle, but it was middle in he night and can't be clearly seen. Today, my father-in-law swept her car and located the tracker. The attorney has been made aware and noted that they turn off the tracker. We live in Mississippi and I'm curious myself, as to what the legality of that is? Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Brother in law wants to move in Posted: 02 Jun 2018 12:12 PM PDT My brother-in-law has asked to move in with me and my husband for a few months while he gets his shit together(he has a DUI, a suspended license, can't afford life on his own, blah blah blah). How do I make sure he leaves when he is told to? All I can think of is that poor couple who had to take their own son to court to get him to move out!!! I desperately need advice!

| Posted: 02 Jun 2018 11:20 AM PDT I moved into this place almost a year ago, the landlord is a friend of a friend (not renting through a company), and everything was great upon move in. I filled out the lease agreement and we talked about all the things that needed repairs, including the carpet (this is important for later). The lease also included that I did not need a security deposit as I paid first and last month's rent up front, and that I had pets and there would be no pet deposit. Fast forward to today, last month of the lease, and the landlord has completely flipped. They have called me numerous times (including at 1 or 2 am and sometimes intoxicated) berating me, insulting and threatening me, and telling me I have violated the lease and need to leave and pay them almost $3k in "damages". The violations they listed are that I had someone else move in without their knowledge and had a pet they didn't know about. It is true that I had my mother move in for the past three months due to her becoming homeless, but I explicitly told them about my pets. They claim that the realtor company did a walkthrough of the place and it was destroyed (it isn't), and would require that much to fix. The landlord has not and refuses to do a walkthrough of the place. The last time the landlord called, they said I need to leave. I told them my lease agreement says I have to receive a 14 day notice if they had an issue. They sent me a text saying I have 14 days to leave and pay them $2.5k. About a week later I had to go to the landlord's house to get receipts for rent paid. They never provided them since I paid cash and wouldn't get them from their bank. It went well and we agreed to do a walkthrough after I moved out. Since then they have texted me again, saying I owe $3k and they want me out ASAP. Here's where my questions are: My lease agreement says if there is a violation of the lease, they have to send a written 14 day notice with the violations telling me to remedy them, and if I do, they cannot evict. This is also a part of the $3k, backpay $100/month since the other person had been there for three months. Since they haven't sent this notice, can they demand I leave and pay? I went back and looked at my original lease agreement that I signed and sent to them, and the one they sent back, and noticed they whited out things that I found were damaged in the apartment (I also have pictures/a video of the entire house before moving in). The big one being the carpet. Now, I didn't sign the agreement or agree to these white-outs, but they whited it out and signed it without me knowing. I have both copies. Do they still have grounds to demand I pay for it, even though we had agreed it needed to be replaced before I moved in? Some of the $3k is a "pet deposit" for an animal they claim to have not known about, but I have proof I told them. Can they demand backpay for this when they knew and in the lease didn't require a pet deposit? Lastly, I had some sewage problems a few months ago where the drains were clogged (not the fault of me, hadn't been cleaned in years). In the lease it says, "Tenant agrees to be responsible for and to make at Tenant's expense all routine maintence, including but not limited to, stoppage of sewer because of misuse or broken water pipes/fixtures due to neglect or carelessness of Tenant." Does this make me liable? They maintenance guy said the landlord asked to see if I did the damage, but he said there was no evidence I could've done it. The landlord also agreed to pay for the maintenance before I called the people out. The landlord has also refused to make repairs that the lease said they must maintain and has had unlicensed people do electrical repairs in the house, does this help me in the long run if they want to take it to court like they've claimed? Sorry for the long post, it has been a very weird tenancy and there has been a lot going on that I've been recently documenting. Since they have threatened to take it to court where, "I'll make you pay at least five thousand dollars if we go to court," I just need some advice since I am trying to move asap and can't afford to both move ASAP and hire a lawyer. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| UPDATE: Purchased a Ring, turned out to be fake? [Florida] Posted: 01 Jun 2018 05:09 PM PDT So this is going to be really silly... I flew down to Florida and it went about as expected. The jeweler obviously was denying anything was wrong and the ring was testing fine on his machine. I wasn't really getting anywhere with him, so I took the ring to the other jeweler I purchased the wedding band from and had them test it. At first, it was testing fake on their machine, but then he took it to the back and cleaned it. He also had another gemologist they had there inspect it and they believed without a doubt that it was real. After they cleaned it, it was then testing fine on the machine. All in all, I am so relieved and happy that my wife's ring is real. I sent an apology to the original jeweler and he wasn't upset, just happy everything was resolved. I am pretty mad my local jeweler wasn't knowledgable enough to have the ring cleaned, but now I know for the future. TL;DR: Ring was dirty which was causing it to test fake. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Jun 2018 12:46 PM PDT He wants to move to another state where this Offender registry is not a thing as only a few states have this. He has spoken with the KBI and they informed him that no such procedure or policy exists for this. He was told by a KS county Sherriff that he must have the Sherriff's office for the county of the state he wants to move to (that does not have this registry) contact him and verify that he has moved there. so my question is this...if there is no law or procedure set in place by the state of Kansas, then couldn't he just move and not worry about breaking a law as there isn't one for this?

| [Toronto, Ontario] I'm moving out of my rental and my landlord wanted me to repaint. Posted: 02 Jun 2018 10:22 AM PDT I'm moving out of my rental and my landlord wanted me to repaint. I've only rented the place for 4 years with minimal damage to walls except a 6x6 hole on a dry wall at the masters bedroom which was fixed and repainted. Now my landlord is asking me to repaint the other 2 bedrooms or else he's going to sue me. Does he have any claims on this one? I just feel like he's trying to make me repaint the whole house to save cost. Mostly the walls has just a minimal picture frame holes which was already filled in and painted but we only did 2 out of 4 bedroom as the other 2 wasn't used a lot. The paint that was used was a little bit darker from the other 2 rooms as the landlord cannot provide me the details of the paint and I took sample and tried to match it as much as I can.

| Intellectually Disabled Adult Sibling Care Posted: 02 Jun 2018 05:50 AM PDT Looking for a way to provide some basic housing care outside of my home for my adult sister-in-law and minimize liabilities etc. and maximize any financial advantages if any. Background: My mother-in-law recently died of cancer and as a result, my sister-in-law (SIL), who was living with her is intellectually disabled/high functioning is now staying with us temporarily because of her mother moving with her here from another state in order to pass with family. My SIL receives SSI/Medicare, etc. however has piled up medical debt and bad credit as a result. Section 8 housing waiting list here in Panama City Florida is "years" away and with her bad credit, would get turned down regardless. This was told directly to us from the apartments we visited. She needs a place to stay, and gain independence for a variety of reasons and staying with us is only possible for a couple more months. Considerations: While we are working to repair her credit, we are considering buying a second home nearby for her to live in. She can drive short distances and can work in very limited capacity, but not likely enough to pay rent of any substantive amount. I don't know if there is any benefit to us, or if we could qualify for any benefits at all like what the section 8 apartments get. We have the funds available for a limited time and just want to find a meaningful way to help while waiting for housing opportunities etc. Any assistance is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Wife is being involuntarily committed, what legal rights do I have? (AZ) Posted: 01 Jun 2018 11:04 PM PDT My wife was taken to the ER for OD on prescription pills and they potitioned for commitment, and she's being committed to an inpatient facility that I am really hesitant to trust, because: A) I overheard a nurse say this place calls every hour trying to see if they can get any more patients to fill up their beds B) the place has 100 reviews online and several mention that they were denied access to information about how their spouse was doing, what the treatment was, ex-patients saying they weren't allowed to contact people outside, etc. So can anyone please tell me what rights I have at this point to know what's going on and to communicate with her? Thank you so much in advance, I need all the help I can get right now to make sure my wife is going to be okay. Update: she has been taken from the hospital to the inpatient care facility. The people involved today were so much more caring and comforting and took time to either explain things to us or find the information out. She is still obviously scared as this is all a new experience and she has to face some of it alone but she seems much more stable and receptive, I hope she can stay that way. It's really fucking scary because I can't be involved yet, but the security that transported clarified that visitation rights are just suspended at first until the patient is evaluated and stabilized, so I'm hoping she can stay calm and I'll get to see her soon. Thanks to everyone for the support and advice, it has helped. I will try to look into these more after I decompress a bit. Thanks again. [link] [comments]  |
