| Posted: 06 Jan 2019 11:15 AM PST Posting this here as well as r/vaxxhappened Title says it all. We've been married for 3 years now. She's always been one for quirky, "against-the-grain" thinking and interests. However, it's not just harmless things like believing there's no gold in Ft.Knox, taking pictures of trash in "aesthetic poses", or doodling interesting little paintings of naked women laying with trees, anymore... No, it was little things like that which made me fall in love with her. But now there's this anti-vax bullshit. She got sucked into one of those anti-vax Facebook indoctrination camps by one of her brain dead friends who takes pride in the fact she's worked at a fucking Wawa for 10 years. She messaged my wife shortly after she posted pics of our newborn on Facebook. I love my wife but she somehow manages to be the most stubborn individual on the planet while simultaneously being the most gullible and malleable. Shortly after birth (because this was pre-brainwashing) our child received her Vitamin K shot, and the Hep-B vaccine. However, now She's refusing to give our child any of the other vaccines. I know that in her mind, she's coming from a place of love for our child but as you can imagine, this has caused a considerable amount of strain and we've had a number of arguments already. All her arguments/counter-arguments follow the same general outline. "Oh well if you look this graph you'll see that the numbers of cases for <X disease> have risen alongside the increased use of <Y vaccine>" "I'm the mother here, this is a mothers instinct, I know I'm right, a mother knows best, etc etc etc..." I've tried explaining to her the basic idea of "correlation doesn't equal causation." By showing her that as ice cream sales increase, so too do the murder rates. She followed that one up with "We aren't talking about ice cream and murder, we're talking about vaccines and debilitating diseases! They're completely different!" I've tried showing her the statistics detailing the infant mortality rates in lesser developed countries where vaccination isn't as pertinent and that vaccines are effective. She follows that up with "Those statistics are created by think tanks funded by the government and "big-pharma" She won't budge and hasn't budged for weeks now. Our arguments are devolving into the same tired routine over and over again and I'm worried that the only thing which will wake her up is our child being afflicted by some horrible disease like measles which could've been easily avoided. I am in Florida. Is there anyway I can sneakily just bring my child to the doctor and have her vaccinated without my wife's knowledge? What are my options here? Legally speaking, what kind of leeway do I have? I don't want this to lead to divorce but I just feel quite lost at the moment. Edit: Thank you to everyone for your advice! I come to the decision that I will try and sit my wife down one last time, as I am skeptical to go behind her back because she may take it as an unforgivable breach of trust, and that is not the outcome I desire. If that fails, I have decided to get my child vaccinated without her knowledge and letting her believe otherwise, because I know that is the best thing for my marriage and my child.

| Posted: 06 Jan 2019 12:35 AM PST I work for Domino's in Oregon and had a car accident. I had to call my insurance and get a tow truck, and was unable to work for about 1.5 hours until I got back to the store. My manager had clocked me out, even though the accident occurred during my work shift. Is that legal? Or are they allowed to clock me out even though the accident was work related and occurred on the clock? Edit: Thanks for all the advice! Thankfully it wasn't a car accident with another vehicle, but rather, a pop-up construction sign had blown out into the road and I ran over it (one of those orange, diamond shaped, cloth with metal stand). It punctured my oil pan and I lost all my oil. Decided it was best to have it towed. Not going to run it through insurance since it's an easy fix, but thanks for all the information regarding commercial insurance, wasn't aware that was a thing. Another reason to find a different job, the upkeep/maintenance for delivering make this a rough job as it is. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2019 07:21 AM PST 2 years ago I was raped. It took me a long time to call it that because my attacker was someone I considered a good and trusted friend, but it happened. After the attack this "friend" kept trying to contact me, going as far as stalking behavior. Showing up at my home, constant emails, constant phone calls. I ignored all attempts but did consult a lawyer about the possibility of a restraining order. I am much better at writing so my lawyer had me email him my story with as much detail as I could gather. A while later I was dating a guy and he was a complete and total asshole. We didn't last long, but I guess lasted long enough for him to get access to my email. Fun! I have since heard from a mutual friend (although the friend does not like my ex) he is talking about "that crazy chick I dated" and is giving out details of my rape. Something he could have only gotten from my emails with my lawyer. My ex gave out enough identifying information my friend was able to assume he was talking about me. What the fuck! I am so mad I can barely stand it! What, if anything, can I do? Edit: Texas Second edit: have also been informed he has circulated the email in question [link] [comments]  |
| Ordered Pizza Hut and The Driver Threw Trash All Over My Lawn ( TEXAS ) Posted: 06 Jan 2019 09:45 AM PST Yesterday, I ordered a pizza from pizza hut and went to take a shower after ordering. While I was in the shower the pizza arrived and my brother went down to take the delivery at the door and once I got out I checked the order and realized they had screwed up my order. I called them about it at the time ( it was pretty late, about 11:50 PM ) and they were closing so they just gave me a credit on the order. HERE IS WHERE THE FUN BEGINS.... So I woke up this morning and there was trash all over my lawn. When I went to pick it up I realized it was nothing but Pizza Hut receipts from deliveries from yesterday, which led me to realize it was almost certainly the drivers doing. On top of that, there were wrappings of food with food still left inside. I called them to file a complaint and they just told me "Well what the hell do you want us to do about that" so now I'm pretty pissed and wondering what legal action I can take on this matter.

| A stock image company is selling a photo of my house they do not own the rights to. Posted: 06 Jan 2019 09:49 AM PST Before I start I just want to say that some details will be vague as I am unsure if I should directly name the company and I do not want to reveal where I live. I have also provided a bit of backstory to help understand the situation and as to why the photo is being sold. A live in a house in a small village in England, the house was built in the year 1459 and has had several additions since. The village is a hotspot for tourists from abroad and from other parts of the UK as it is seen as a pretty iconic English village and is located in an area of natural beauty. My great grandparents brought this house and it has remained in the family since, at some point my grandparents had a photo taken of the house with a lovely red ivy creeping up the side. There are several photos of the house but this is the one photo in question. Some photos of the house have been uploaded online by my family for one reason or another but we own all orgianal copies of the photos. Last month I discovered that when I googled my house name it came up with the image of the house with the red ivy as usual except it now had a watermark covering it, this was unusual as the photo was not owned by this company. upon further investigation I realised that this image was being sold in various prints for prices ranging from $60-$600. They also had photo credits for a photographer who supposedly took the photo but I know that to not be true. I would like to contact the company in question and request that they remove the watermark from the photo and stop selling it, requestiong the profits they made from this would be a bonus but do not expect this at all. Only problem is I'm not really sure how to proceed and not sure if I have any standing at all with having them remove it. Any advice would be much appreciated. TL:DR: Company has been selling a photo for large amounts of money that they do not own, I have oringal photos to prove so. Would like them to stop selling and claiming it as their own.

| Posted: 06 Jan 2019 07:28 AM PST There's no proof besides her word and consistent story. CPS (who's been involved since before this incident) is aware and she (my niece) even told the same story to the police. Apparently she tried to tell her mom after it happened but she wouldn't listen/ didn't believe her. Now the mom is saying she was told to say this (which is completely untrue). Both of them have admitted they're scared to go back to their mom's house (because of her bf). Not sure if her brother (7) has been abused in the same way but they've come home (to their grandma, my mom-in-law's) acting funny with bruises multiple times (at first claiming it was accidents then later coming forward and saying it was abuse) It's only recently that the little one admitted this had went on. Nothing is ever done because their mom refuses to give them up, only because she wants the kids in her life so she doesn't have to pay child support and for tax benefits and so on. Apparently my niece's story isn't enough and the multiple incidents haven't proved anything to who ever decides custody, and if the mom wants them back they have to go back. The only thing we can think of is sending them over with something to record their conversations, because that for a fact will prove once and for all what's been going down. Without getting a lawyer is there anything else we can do to prevent them from having to go back? We're in PA if tha makes any difference. [link] [comments]  |
| (Pennsylvania) Something seems fishy with a friend's estate sale. Posted: 06 Jan 2019 09:05 AM PST First off apologies for any confusion, I'm gonna try to keep this as anonymous as possible and I have not directly spoken with the person yet, only heard it second-hand through my SO, so a lot of details are not known yet: So a friend (referred to as N from here out) had dinner with my SO the other night and vented about an estate sale after N's spouse passed away suddenly. -N's attorney recommended an individual for the estate sale. -N contacts this estate sale person (ESP) and they sign a contract (don't know much about this contract at this time). -ESP called N one day while they were at work and states they were going to enter the home to review all the possessions (N lives in an apartment as they are trying to sell the home). -The next day N contacts ESP to follow up on how everything looks and says they are going to the house later to retrieve things they wished to keep (again N was at work the day before and was simply told the items in the house were just being looked at), ESP says no it is all already listed and bidding is open and N cannot remove anything from the home. -After a bit of back and forth and some references to the contract N is seemingly forced to bid on their own belongings and spends around $10,000 in doing so. -The estate sale finishes and the ESP gives N the money made from the sale totaling around $9,000. -When N asks for receipts for the items sold ESP gives some line about the papers blowing out of their car/getting lost. -Somewhere in all this the ESP had mentioned they have only done an estate sale once before and it was many years ago. -The home was basically entirely cleared out, I mean EVERYTHING from the mundane like dishes and area rugs to highly personalized items like engraved trinkets, university degrees, and even a framed picture of N and their deceased spouse were all supposedly sold. It's piece-meal information and I will be seeing N in a week or so and will definitely get more info but here are my major red flags to me in all this: -N is physically and emotionally weak and worn down after having lost their spouse and another family member in the past few months. -The attorney recommends someone for an estate who has only done one once before. -An entire household of items were supposedly documented, researched for pricing, and posted for sale in a period of a single day. -I have been to N's house and they seemed to be quite wealthy, like if they had made well over $100,000+ on this estate sale I would not have been surprised in the slightest, yet they only received $9,000 in payment. (and again, N paid $10,000 for the belongings they wanted to keep... at the end of the day they basically paid $1,000 to lose 99% of their possessions). -The sale seemed to have had an online component and yet the ESP says they lost the receipts, it seems like there should be an electronic trail of some sort. -N says that since the sale the attorney won't return their calls. It seems to me that N was possibly scammed. So my question is what should N do now? When I see them in a few days I need to have a pretty convincing plan-of-action because of all the hardships that have happened in the past six months N is just completely beaten down and broken. I know next to nothing of legal proceedings from here and I know a good bit of this hinges on the supposed contract, but what should be done first? Contact a different attorney? File a police report? If not either of those, then what? What steps after that? If there is anything to this is it a civil or criminal matter? [link] [comments]  |
| [GA] Lent my friend a bunch of gear. Getting ghosted. Posted: 06 Jan 2019 10:18 AM PST Lent a couple thousand dollars worth of gear to a friend in March of 2018. First inkling of a problem when he started ignoring texts and calls to hang out around June. Took until about August to move me from an inkling to a solid understanding this was going to be a problem. Texted his girlfriend a few times and never heard anything back from her either. Visited his apartment but a new tenant lives there. Started calling and texting about everyday to no reply. iMessage showed the messages as delivered so I know his phone was on and receiving messages. Eventually increase the frequency to every few hours. Still no response. Then one day in October I sit down and send him literally as many iMessages in a row for a response. After about a minute the message stop delivering (blocked). So I start doing the same thing from my friend's phone. About 3 minutes and 60 text messages later I get unblockd and a very angry reply that I am interrupting his DUI class and the reason he didn't respond the first month or so was because he went to jail and since he's been really busy dealing with the ramifications of the DUI like the classes, lawyers, court dates and whatnot. He agreed to meet up in the next couple days. Ignoring me over the last few months may not have been a mature way to handle the situation but I gave the benefit of the doubt attributing that to stress and anxiety rather than malicious intent. He agreed to meet up at this point so I felt the weight off my chest. Day we agreed to meet up comes and something comes up and he can't make it. Set another day. Repeat. This happens a few more times before I eventually stop hearing from him altogether. Back to calling and texting a brick wall which I keep calling and texting. On New Years day I message his girlfriend. I get a response a few minutes later from my friend. This time hostile and saying how I only care about getting things and he wanted to be my friend but had to start ignoring me after he noticed I only cared about my things. I suggest meeting up that same day. He's of course busy. We set a meet for Friday and then for Saturday when that is missed. After another "near miss" last night I'm at the end of my rope. Some of my friends are saying I should pursue legal action, some are saying I should start posting all over his social media and publicly shaming him into returning everything. I considered him a very close friend a year ago when I lent him this but at this point I don't really consider him a friend at all however public shaming seems like a low road option and I think it would look as bad on me for handling it that way as it would look on him. It's too much to for me to write off as a loss. Don't know how to proceed or what my option are. Seems like a civil court matter? I'm at a loss. [link] [comments]  |
| I'm being sued for emotional pain and suffering from my Ex of 3 week (Texas) Posted: 05 Jan 2019 05:32 PM PST Background:
Edit - Found out she is not pregnant either. Current Issue: 2017 - Nov/Dec - I'm being charged for assault (class A misdemeanor - Got a lawyer working on this case) - This was ongoing from - She got a restraining order filed against me ( I contacted the lawyer and basically lawyer told me to agree to the terms because it wouldn't affect my life, just that I needed to stay away from her, which was my exact intention) 2019 - Jan - Just got a letter in the mail saying im being sued in a civil case against this girl for causing her emotional suffering and trauma (she wants 500K), I really don't have anymore money to shell out to lawyers to handle this case, I'm already fighting for the assault charge and I paid a lawyer for the restraining order as well. I need some help!!!!! Here is the letter: Some of the facts in this letter is obviously false, - We did not date for 3 months, we met in august and when she claimed she was pregnant in mid Sept the relationship was over, I was just trying to deal with it from that point on till Nov. - I never confronted her at her workplace, she actually got an uber on Nov 9th to my place and I have an eye witness who can testify to that, she came over because the plan was to go to the abortion clinic together on the 10th so I can pay for it. - Never put my hands on her inside the car, and as far as anyone seeing what happened, they probly saw me push her away that's about it.

| How do I protect myself from my parents who are seeking guardianship of me? Posted: 06 Jan 2019 10:12 AM PST I live in Florida and I'm 35. My parents are threatening to get guardianship of me again. They've been doing this for the last 5 years. They don't agree with my lifestyle choices and always threaten to have me baker acted (involuntary commitment to a mental health facility for someone who is a danger to themselves or others). Now they've stepped it up again by threatening to seek guardianship of me again. I have my mom blocked but my ex is relaying messages to me from my mom. We are on good terms. He just keeps telling her he hasn't heard from me as per my request but now my dad who lives near Chicago is saying he's coming down next weekend and they're going to be putting their plan into action. I'm on disability and I pay my bills on time and I have my own place and I'm doing fine. I don't drink or do drugs. As I said, they simply don't agree with my lifestyle choices. I'm goth and Wiccan and have resisted their attempts to force their Christian and Jewish religious beliefs on me. They think I'm on a path to self destruction just because I refuse to be swayed by their religious beliefs. Apparently my dad has a lawyer friend and they are trying to have me put in a state mental facility for life! I also think they just want to get their hands on my disability check because my dad has 3 other kids and a wife to support and my mom is also on disability and if she was my payee she'd be set because she owns her home. How can I protect myself from my parents? [link] [comments]  |
| Airline (Iberia) lost my luggage and is claiming no responsibility Posted: 06 Jan 2019 12:02 PM PST Iberia lost my luggage (expensive musical equipment worth thousands) on a flight from London to Madrid to Santiago de Compostela back in July of 2018. I finally get a response from them saying "After studying your case, we have verified that you did not declare the contents of your baggage before you checked it in. Airlines cannot be held responsible for fragile or valuable items if the contents of your baggage are not declared before check-in and you did not insure it and pay the relevant fee, or alternatively if you did not check it in as cargo and following the relevant procedure." I know for a fact that the ticket agent was told that all 20 something pieces of luggage checked in were musical equipment. Do I have any legal ground to stand on, or am I screwed? edit, Location [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2019 02:32 PM PST I paid $515 for a first class ticket from Boston to LA. On the day we were told that they've overbooked the first class cabin and offered me to be downgraded to coach in exchange for a voucher of $515, meaning that my flight would be free. I accepted and received The voucher printout which clearly says it is for the value of $515. The voucher was automatically applied to my account as well. Fast forward to earlier this week when I wanted to book another flight I noticed that they value has been adjusted down to $390, a reduction of $125. When I contacted customer service I was told that the voucher should have only been given to me at the value of the difference between coach and first class, not my entire ticket. This is why it is adjusted down to reflect this. But this is not what I was promised. I would not have taken that deal if I knew I'd be only getting a partial voucher. Why would I even agree to this instead of asking for a refund? Anyway, after several phone calls it seems like they're not going to honor what they promised. Is there something I can do here?

| I am marrying a non U.S. citizen on a J-1 visa. Help! Posted: 06 Jan 2019 10:20 AM PST My Fiance is here on a J-1 visa (that does not require her to return to her home country for 2 years, as some do). This will expire some time in June, and we are planning the wedding in September. In the meantime, she will be here on "no status". Will this complicate paperwork? Should we just get married at the courthouse before the J-1 expires? Most legal advice online seems to be for when a person meets their spouse in another country, and then brings them to the U.S. My fiance is already here, legally, and that almost seems to make things more complicated (as she can't get to the U.S. consulate in her home country). There are a million other questions running through my mind, but this is /r/legaladvice, not legalquestions... So any additional advice on this whole process is much appreciated. I obviously want to do this as cheaply, smoothly, and legally as possible. [link] [comments]  |
| How long is "reasonable" for repairs? Posted: 06 Jan 2019 10:00 AM PST I live in southeastern NC. When Hurricane Florence hit, my apartment's ceiling caved in, took water damage, etc... our property manager straight-up told us we couldn't live there. It's a large complex with an owner/manager out of state. We were given 24 hour notice to move our belongings out and did so on September 24. They changed the locks 9/27. It is now January 5, and the manager at the property still does not have any idea when our apartment will be habitable again--something about a delay/shortage in materials. Yet the complex is sending out promotional emails to students at the university, advertising 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments ready for move-in in January. (Ours was a 3-bedroom.) We were told by management in September that we are not allowed to break our lease at this complex, which is July 2018-2019. (They did stop charging us rent for the duration.) But one of the property's "responsibilities" under the "Damages, Fire, Casualty" section of the lease says, "We may, in Our sole discretion, elect to repair substantial damage within a reasonable time under the circumstances, and in such an event, Your obligations under this Agreement shall continue." They elected to repair the damage, but it's been almost 4 months. We were told to expect a late Nov/early Dec return... then "sometime in December"... now "sometime in January"... you get the point. We would really like to be free to search out other housing without worrying that our apartment will suddenly become habitable again and we will be responsible for 2 leases.

| My family owns and operates a business, but lies to IRS about taxes. Posted: 06 Jan 2019 10:09 AM PST LOCATION: LOUISIANA I recently found out that my grandmother and her two sisters have been filing fraudulent tax documents for the family bar/lounge. They have been doing this for decades. They make it seem like they're in a lower tax bracket so they don't have to pay as much in taxes and they can pocket more money. They only have one employee(family member) and pay her only $50 a week. This woman works 6 days a week for at least 8 hours a day, sometimes more. They refuse to pay her more, and she can only afford to live in a condemned house on the estate that also hosts the bar 15 feet away. There are many more illegal things happening there, but I want to report them for tax fraud at the least. They are basically keeping the black sheep of the family as a legal(but illegal) slave while touting how honorable they are. I'm tired of it, and because of the emotional abuse, the employee won't report. My questions being: how do I report the tax fraud? Can I report to the IRS, or do I need to go to the local police or maybe go a federal route? Is this something I can do anonymously? [link] [comments]  |
| Leaky dam destroying land value Posted: 06 Jan 2019 09:49 AM PST This is in Texas. A family member owns and lives on a bit of land right next to a dam. The dam is on someone elses property and we aren't quite sure who built it, as it was constructed before my family member bought the land (but it was funded by the state). Well, this dam isn't holding up. Water has come from under the dam and is basically swamping out my family members' land, to the point that cars can't park near the house without getting stuck in muddy, swampy muck. It hasn't caused damage to the home yet, but the entire back yard and other land that my family member owns are basically now marshes. The county and/or state and/or municipality has sent out some geologists to do surveys and they confirmed that the dam is causing all of this water to encroach on the property. We have heard that the state plans to come in a fix the problem at some point by draining the lake and reconstructing the dam, but nothing official has come down the pipeline. What this means for my family member if this happens, I'm not quite sure - they may be moved off the land, the state may buy the land, or some other thing may happen. My question is, what in the heck can my family member do here? The value of their land is decreasing, their home will likely be damaged soon in the future, their quality of life is decreasing (insects, etc.), and they don't have a whole lot of spare money.

| Woman is accusing me of sending threatening emails to her Posted: 06 Jan 2019 06:25 AM PST I (F43) live in New York. I have a friend (M43) that dated a woman for a few months. He told her my first name and that we used to date (10 years ago). He broke up with her because he found out she was going thru his emails. For about a month, she has been sending him emails saying that I hired someone to break into her apartment. She said I sent her threatening emails that I want to throw acid in her face. This woman said I was evil and she is scared of me. She refuses to give my friend any evidence of this as it is now 'in the hands of the authorities' (the police, I'm assuming). My friend emailed her back and said I am innocent. I don't know this woman...never met her, don't even know her last name. I am worried for my safety. I don't know what she is capable of. I don't know how much she knows about me...where I live, where I work. My friend won't show me the emails but said she wrote 'horrible things' about me. He says nothing will happen to me but if it does, I can just call the police. I don't want things to go that far. I want this to end now. My friend won't go to the police about this. Is there anything I can do to protect myself? Get an order of protection? I really have no evidence to bring to the police because my friend refuses to give me the emails. Thank you in advance for your help. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2019 12:10 PM PST At the local branch of an international chain grocery store, something interesting has arisen lately regarding their bottle return policy. For reasons that I don't understand, the store is not charging the bottle deposits for several of the products that they sell, despite the fact that they are clearly labelled as having a MI 10¢ deposit. Having worked at a different grocery store in a position in which I added items to POS, I know enough to guess that whoever programmed their system hasn't added the deposit to those items for one reason or another. This is compounded by the fact that their bottle return machine often spits out their store-brand products, even when those products are marked with the MI 10¢ deposit. It gives the message "Store Does Not Redeem" when this happens. However, if the item is one on which the store charges a deposit, they will return it manually after asking the customer how many bottles you are returning. They will not give a return on items for which they say they don't charge a deposit, even when the deposit is marked on the product. Recently, notes have appeared around the store next to signs for particular products — those which, for whatever reason, the store does not charge a deposit. They say something to the effect of "[This store] does not charge a deposit for this item. We will not redeem it for a bottle deposit." I have two questions regarding this circumstance: Is there a legal issue with them not charging a deposit on cans and bottles, even though the deposit is marked on the product? Is there a legal issue with the fact that they don't redeem plastic bottles and cans of the brand sold in their store, even when the 10¢ deposit is clearly marked on the can? [link] [comments]  |
| I am being charged for a car I did not rent and my credit card company has taken their side Posted: 05 Jan 2019 09:03 PM PST I had to rent a car so I went to the counter for company A (walk in with no reservation). I began filling out the paperwork and everything then I decided I did not want to rent the car anymore (because I would have to bring the car back to the same place). Anyway, the other rental company (B) lets me drop the car off at their other location so I told company A to cancel my car (front desk lady told me its taken care of) and I simply went to company B and used their service. I did not think much of it and went on my way. A month later on my credit card bill I am charged $450 from company A. Company A is claiming I rented a car from them and returned it. I disputed this with my credit car company (Discover) and they said because I willingly gave them my credit card I authorized them to make the transaction. Company A has the paper work saying I used the car and returned it so the credit card company is going off of that and they will not see it as fraud because I willingly gave my credit card number. I did not sign any paperwork either but the credit card company says giving them my info is basically like a signature. The credit card company recommends I find another way to dispute legally. What should I do? Is $450 worth going after with a lawyer? Is there any way for me to fight this? Some extra info: Later on the same day I canceled my rental, the assistant manager for company A called me asking I had if gotten a car from them. I said no and sent him a pic of the car rental number. And he said "ok that is not our car, thanks" and we ended the call. Once again, I did not think much of this since he confirmed I that I did not get a car from company A. Clearly some kind of mix up (or fraud) has happened. Summary: Went to rent a car from company A, changed my mind and canceled and now I am being charged for renting a certain car and returning it (on their record). Please help, thanks! Update: Corporate is looking into this. I did not think I could do anything since the branch office and credit card company said there is nothing they can do. I will keep updating!

| Posted: 06 Jan 2019 10:04 AM PST [California] A "friend of a friend" needed a place to store a project car to do repairs. It was a 2 week verbal agreement for $45, he's over a month past that and hasn't paid past the 2 weeks. The car doesn't run and he seems to be flaking on things. Q1. Can I lien the car (it's < 4K value) Q2. He bought it for $400 and never put it in his name, it's far out of the DMV (or so he says). Do I have to notice him of the lien sale (only have phone number, no address), or do I just notice owners on record? I plan on calling the guy and giving him another chance, but once I pay fees to lien, he'd have to cover those liens. Given that this is only $90 ish right now, I don't have much faith that he'll be able to come up with lien fees. I've tried to work with the guy, but he's just too sketchy. [link] [comments]  |
| Sister and BIL divorcing, but I own the house w/BIL - who gets what? Posted: 06 Jan 2019 10:57 AM PST Location: Florida TL;DR - BIL and I purchased house together in Feb 2015, he put down payment w/life insurance payment from his father ($96K). I have carried the mortgage, utilities, and insurance since then (>$100K). Now sister and BIL are getting a divorce, BIL wants us to sell the house and give him most of the profits. My question: who owns what? Will I have to sell my house? Please be advised, I have currently retained a lawyer and will be meeting with him on Tuesday. I am looking for advice as to what types of questions to ask. Here's the down and dirty. Moved to Florida with my sister, BIL, our parents, and baby #1 on the way in January 2011. Moved to current house in February 2015 with same family, but now kids 2 and 3 are here. BIL's father passed away in October 2014, BIL used life insurance payment to put down payment on our current home. BIL and I are 50/50 ownership with survivor rights. Verbal agreement was that BIL puts in down payment, I (and my father, who is not listed as owner on any paperwork) will pay mortgage. Due to events in May 2018 which I will not list here, BIL left the home. In October 2018, sister filed for divorce. In BIL's response to divorce, he listed me and my parents as co-defendants. He is asking for us to sell the house and give him the proceeds in an unequitable distribution in his favor. My goal is to get him to sign over the house and tell him to pound sand, as I've kept his credit in good standing AND taken care of his wife and kids. My questions are these:
Thanks in advance for any help/info. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 06 Jan 2019 01:44 PM PST My 16 year old friend is in an abusive household and every time he's reached out for help it's made things worse. He's already attempted suicide 3-4 times, and is getting closer each time. It started out as just verbal abuse, but at this point he's being physically abused, verbally abused, and pushed towards suicide. I'm afraid if he doesn't get out of his house, suicide is inevitable. We're in Colorado. Here are the ways he has or others have tried to help him and the aftermath. Talked to multiple school counselors
Told his doctor
Talked to police
Talked to other school admin
CPS investigator
Mental hospital
tl;dr: My friend has done everything he's supposed to do to get out of abusive house, but it's only made it worse. What course of action can he or I take that won't make things worse for him? [link] [comments]  |
