    [Manitoba, CANADA] (UPDATE) My cousin's landlord enacted a new rule that states "Lights Out By 10PM" - and is enforced by the landlord using the breakers to shut off all power, despite my cousin paying for his own electricity.

    My cousin and I want to thank all of you for the incredible amount of advice and support you have offered him. He couldn't believe how many people cared, and was touched by the very kind messages we have received by you fine folks. Thank you so much! This situation was resolved rather quickly, so thankfully it's all over.

    Now for the update: My cousin is moving out this weekend. He spoke to the landlord several times, citing several laws he was breaking and how my cousin pays for his own power and therefore he shouldn't have his electricity shut off just because the landlord wants to save a few dollars. Also, one of you messaged me to let me know that breakers aren't meant to be turned on and off frequently, and that he is going to burn out all of his fuses if he continues. The landlord refused to listen and told him he shouldn't believe everything he reads on the internet. My cousin went ahead and printed out many comments from you folks, as well as copies of the laws he was breaking, and he told him that if he doesn't stop he would get authorities and lawyers involved. Needless to say, the landlord did not like that one bit. After an argument, the landlord stated that my cousin should move out as he didn't trust him anymore (???) and my cousin was genuinely sad as he liked this man and had considered him a friend before all of this. The landlord said that he will not change his mind no matter how hard my cousin fights it, and that it's best that he just moves out.

    Anyways, the landlord told him that if he moves out he will void the lease and return the rent he has paid up for June, July, and August, as well as the security deposit - all under the condition that he moves out by the end of the month and doesn't get lawyers or anybody else involved. My cousin decided to cut his losses and move on. Luckily, my cousin is a minimalist and has very little to pack and move. He is going to be moving in with his girlfriend, which he is very happy about, and he will not be pursuing anything against the landlord as he got all of his money back (about $3000) and he doesn't have to deal with James ever again.

    While my cousin didn't get the outcome he wanted, he still got a pretty good deal. He was planning on living with his girlfriend sometime in the near future, so this event just sped things along. My cousin and I honestly feel bad for James as the man has gone through a lot and has had a pretty rough life. Still, this doesn't excuse his behaviour and nonsensical rules.

    And that is it. Thank you all again for your help and support, it was honestly overwhelming. Take care, you beautiful people.

    EDIT: Since I'm getting nasty messages, I figured I should edit this to let everyone know that I have finally convinced my cousin to report him. He will be reporting the moment he has moved out - which is Saturday. We are also looking to get him help for his declining mental health. Also, my cousin already received every dime owed to him, in cash, and he received a revised contract stating that the lease was voided as of June 1st, and that no further payments will be required.

    There you go folks. Please stop insulting my cousin and I.

    I went on a 20 day trip. I came back to find squatters in my home. They (falsely) claim to have been there for 6 weeks. Do they have tenants' rights?

    Posted: 28 May 2019 06:07 PM PDT

    I own a house in Orange County, California. I went abroad for 20 days. When I got home at the end of that trip, I found my locks had been changed and someone else's car was in my driveway.

    I called the police. That led to an argument with the people (at least 2 adults) occupying my house. They told the police they'd been there for 6 weeks. I explained I knew that to be untrue because I was only gone for 20 days. At the end, the officers said it's a civil matter and left.

    So basically, these people have been in my house for no more than 20 days, but they claim to have been there for long enough to be tenants. Do I need to treat them as tenants?

    Deaf w/ hearing spouse. Hearing spouse is pregnant, does the ADA still apply to me where I can request the doctor's office to provide an interpreter for appointments even though I'm not the actual patient?

    Posted: 29 May 2019 07:01 AM PDT

    Would the doctor's office still be responsible for providing an interpreter for our ultrasound/general appointments that relate to the pregnancy? Or since the patient is my hearing spouse, does that mean I'm responsible for paying an interpreter to show up to appointments?

    Edited to add location: In the USA. Washington state to be specific, if that makes a difference.

    Edited again with an update: Thank you to everyone who responded and provided links. I was a little stressed since my wife was pregnant with twins and it was considered a high risk pregnancy so the likelihood of me having to advocate and fight for her in the hospital was higher. However, we just found today that we sadly lost one of the twins but another issue she had resolved on its own so it's no longer considered a high risk pregnancy. I'll still contact services about having an interpreter for delivery but for everything else, my wife will just interpret. Thank you again for all the replies. It is very appreciated.

    [FL] guest's gun went off, roommate and I were not home, now our lease is being terminated

    Posted: 29 May 2019 08:56 AM PDT

    Friend is in the Navy, came to visit from out of state, needed a place to crash, I let him have the couch.

    Last day of his trip, I leave for work, tell him to lock up on his way out, he calls me later saying his gun went off, completely by accident, and I have to come home to talk to the cops. No one was hurt; the bullet went into the floor and was stopped before it went through to my downstairs neighbor's ceiling. They take his statement and give us a case number for accidental discharge and sent us on our merry way.

    I went to the leasing office to go over the details of the incident and any consequences; I was informed that both the cops and my neighbor were there already and they had talked to both of them. They said my guest is never allowed back (fine by me, he'll never be down this way again anyway) and that I will be served a legal notice, but that was it.

    Roommate was out of town, she comes home, I tell her, she gets it was an accident.

    We get called into the leasing office to be told that our lease is being terminated and that we have seven (7) business days to move out. We do not get our deposit back and we will have to pay two months' rent. We need to look for a new place to live asap and we will have to disclose that we have a broken lease eventually.

    I don't anticipate being able to stay the rest of our lease, but I was wondering if there's a way to extend our move-out period and / or be able to get financial compensation from my friend, who has not been responsive to my texts and calls. I'm just really trying to focus on the solution and not the problem and seeing if there are things that can be done to make this sudden transition manageable.

    I have the opposite problem from this guy, but without the broken glass https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/ay8r1h/a_neighbor_in_my_apartment_complex_accidentally/

    My paycheck is direct deposit but my boss submits hours, I don't get a pay stub to check accuracy

    Posted: 29 May 2019 07:58 AM PDT

    I got a new job at the beginning of May that is supposed to last six months so it's considered as temporary employment. My pay is determined as a monthly salary, as long as I work 37.5 hours a week I'll get paid that amount.

    No one will tell me how much I should get paid if I don't work that many hours, and so far my boss has sent me home early every week and I haven't been able to get the full 37.5 hours. I got my first pay check today, and the amount is several hundred dollars less than what I expected. I asked my boss how I will get a pay stub to see the breakdown of my pay and how much is taken out for taxes and social security and he told me I won't get a pay stub and there's no way for me to see that.

    I keep track of my hours with my phone notes and then my boss writes them down on a form at the end of the pay period, which he then submits. I don't get to see what he puts down, and apparently I don't get to see on a paystub either.

    My boss is a really nice guy and I don't think this is malicious wage theft, but my job is with a state agency of a really corrupt and bankrupt state and I think it's being mismanaged. I tried to do the math of what my salary would come out to hourly, and my pay check was six dollars short an hour of what I was expecting.

    Is my employer legally allowed to do this? I could lose thousands of dollars if this continues for the full six months. I'm not sure if this is a common employer practice or not but it sounds shady to me.

    Edit: located in Illinois

    Edit 2: Illinois law requires employers to present pay stubs, I'm going to talk to my boss and see if he's hiding it from me or if he just doesn't know. Thanks to everyone for help

    Problems with my neighbor

    Posted: 29 May 2019 04:08 AM PDT

    Live in S.E Michigan

    I have problems with my neighbors directly next door to me, they have started problems between us and their neighbor on the other side. So we haven't had contact with this man on the other side of our next door neighbor in almost a year. Yesterday we were outside in our backyard with our pitbull puppies, they are both 8 months old. They started to get hot, so we all went inside. Were inside for about 30 minutes, and our roommate came home from running an errand. We have security cameras in the front and back yards of our house. Next thing I know, an officer is coming up to our front door. I step outside and he says that he got a call that our puppies had gotten out of the yard and were attacking our neighbors dog ( the one on the other side of our neighbors house). I told him our dogs never get out of the yard, we keep our eyes on them at all times. He said he went into the other mans house and saw no wounds on this mans dog and asked why he said he was being attacked he said that he said it because he saw our dogs at his gate and wanted someone there quickly so his dog wouldn't get attacked. I offered him inside my home, where he saw my puppies, and showed him the video footage from our cameras. Obviously there was nothing. Our dogs never left the fenced in back yard or our house, and the way the cameras are positioned you can see down the street, there were no dogs out at all. So my question is, since he filed a false report, and I have the evidence that he he was lying, is there anything that I can do legally to ensure something like this doesn't happen again?

    Premarriage counseling form asking for social security numbers. Is this legal?

    Posted: 29 May 2019 06:01 AM PDT

    Fiancees parents insist on us getting married at a church with ceremony. The church says we have to through through a bunch of hoops before we can be accepted and going through marriage counseling is one of them.

    The marriage counselor, whom we have only been in email contact with, is asking us to fill out a form that includes all our information including drivers license and social security numbers. Is this legal and is it okay to fill this out?

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Shipping company dropped off a massive pallet in our gym that does not belong to us but has my name on it.

    Posted: 29 May 2019 08:45 AM PDT

    So a shipping company called today saying they are dropping off a shipment with my name on it, gave them the code to get inside and drop it off.( we do get equipment shipments every so often so not out of the ordinary)

    After talking to all the other owners of the gym no one can recall placing an order for equipment.

    Just on lunch now so I dropped by and saw that on all the labels my name was in fact on there, can't find a packing slip but it contains quite a few car parts ( massive and heavy shipment that is in the middle of our small gym making it unusable.

    If the company says it is not able to come get the shipment today or tonight before our scheduled classes can we charge them for "storing" the pallet or for the potential lost time / access to our gym?

    Update:

    I called the shipping company and they said since it has my name on it and they have records of it being shipped to me that they are t coming to pick it up even after I explicitly explained that we did not order this nor is it ours.i told them it either needed to get picked up today or I was dismantling the pallet and putting it into storage until they come pick it up because it can't be on my gym floor blocking half the usable space. They said that's fine and if eventually they figure out that it is a mistake they will send someone to get it.

    I told them I will charge them to store it here if this is not resolved quickly but he didn't seem to really care, consulted with management a few times and stated again that it Will remain here until they figure out if it was sent by mistake, which I had told them multiple times that it was not our stuff and we did not order it.

    We do not have alot of storage space and I don't feel like holding onto this crap for an undetermined amount of time in case they realize it was their mistake and are just using our space as a storage area. This is beyond frustrating.

    I am also not going to be giving them a door code to come get the products from my storage area so they will have to wait until I or someone else is around durring "normal business hours" to let them in.

    Breaking a lease due to fire? WA

    Posted: 29 May 2019 08:21 AM PDT

    Last Thursday, my apartment complex caught fire. It's one long building with 4 sections and 4 units in each building. I live in unit 1. Unit 3 caught on fire and burned into unit 2. The fire happened at 12:00 at night and I woke up to screaming neighbors yelling at the building for everyone to evacuate. Honestly it was traumatizing. I can't get to sleep at night and the area just smells like disgusting burnt wood and ash. I have 2 more months on my lease but I really, really, just want to get out of there now If there's any way that I can. According to the lease, "The apartment complex: Does not have a fire sprinkler system. Does not have a fire alarm system. Does not have an emergency notification plan for residents. Does not have an emergency relocation plan for residents." Also if its relevant, there was no smoke detector in the unit when we moved in, and the fire extinguishers are very expired. The neighbors were saying this is the third fire in 6 years. Thank you for any help and input.

    Estranged Biological Father About to Pass - His Sisters/Father Claim My Brother is Responsible for Arrangements. Truth? (Pennsylvania)

    Posted: 29 May 2019 09:40 AM PDT

    I got word several weeks ago that my biological father is in hospice and with limited time left. Neither my brother nor I have had no significant contact with him in over 25 years. His family (sisters/niece/father; he's failed at relationships with other girlfriends/wives his entire life) have suddenly initiated contact to "let us know" (we're already in the know). The conversations were cordial but took a twist with the sister claiming that the next of kin is responsible for the financial burden of final arrangements. There's also an assumption that the family has access to what little belongings he has and are now liquidating them (old vehicle, tools). The man was an abusive alcoholic and basically neglected us after my mother (smartly) left him due to physical/emotional abuse.

    What exactly could my brother be liable for in these circumstances?

    Is there protection under the law or possibly a means available (umbrella coverage) to insure against any possible claims?

    [KY] Corporate restaurant I am the general manager of was bought out by a franchisee.

    Posted: 29 May 2019 05:54 AM PDT

    For the past 7 years I have worked at one of the biggest Pizza restaurants in the US and I worked my way up from being a instore to being a General Manager of my own store. It doesn't seem like much but this was a very big accomplishment to me and I had intentions of continuing to work my way up the corporate chain.

    That all changed on Monday morning when the news was broken to me that my store had been sold to a franchisee in the area. I begged and pleaded and even offered to step down so that I could just be moved to a different store just to remain corporate instead of franchise.

    I was told I had no choice but to stay here and continue to work as the General Manager of this store because "they have to set the franchisee up for success."

    A couple years ago when I moved up to management I was working at a corporate store and a franchise store as a delivery driver so that I could pay my bills and survive. I had the option of managing at either store but ultimately chose corporate because the career advancement was greater and I had a stronger support system.

    I will not be taking any pay cuts personally but all my team members will have to and my new owners seem to be extremely shady and are encouraging me to purposefully deceive my employees.

    I do not want to be a part of this at all. I do not remember signing any paperwork that requires me to stay as General Manager of this store if it was sold to a franchisee. What (if I have any) are my options ?

    I got scammed in work, I might get fired.

    Posted: 29 May 2019 06:22 AM PDT

    I'm in the UK working in an independent Bookmakers.

    Yesterday I got done by a professional scammer for £1.7k. The person has been identified and information passed to the police.

    My concern is that my manager (also a small stake holder of the business) has informed me that this is a stackable offense and I am now at the mercy of the owners who are currently on holiday.

    Am I liable and can my employment be terminated?

    If it is anything to consider, last year a colleague at another of our stores paid out £5k in stead of £500 via a debit card payout, they recovered £1k of that over paymentl. They weren't fired, but that person is best friends with owner. Does this help me at all?

    Back child support paid to me after the father signed away his rights?

    Posted: 29 May 2019 06:28 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, nothing too complicated here! I just wanted to double check myself before I get into a rough situation.

    This is in Kentucky.

    Over a year ago, my ex husband signed over his rights to my daughter and my current husband legally adopted her. When this happened I had assumed that all child support would stop and no longer be paid to me. Which was fine, I didn't expect it since he never paid it in 7 years anyway.

    Well, today, over a year later, I wake up with a deposit of $1,000 from child support, seems like back pay.

    My question is; even though he signed over his rights and is no longer legally or financially responsible for her, are those payments supposed to come to me? I don't want to spend any money that doesn't belong to me.

    I left my car and car keys at a friend's house. Next day I come pick it up and it has significant damage that she denies causing.

    Posted: 29 May 2019 07:42 AM PDT

    I went to a wedding Saturday night and left a little early to hang out with a friend for a couple hours before meeting back up with the wedding crew downtown. This friend (we'll call her A) lives close to downtown so I asked her if I could just leave my car at her house and take an Uber downtown from her house. A says yes of course and says not to worry about getting an Uber there, she will just drop me off. We go outside to smoke a cig and I notice the hood of her car is up and ask her what's wrong with it. "Oh yeah, my battery is dead I forgot about that" says A. **This is where I fuck up** I said "Oh well in that case just drop me off in my car and bring it back to your house and I'll pick it up in the morning." So she drives me downtown and drops me off at the bar we are meeting at and I take an Uber home to my house later that night. The next day around noon I call A and tell her I'm on the way to come pick up my vehicle. She tells me she's not at home but left the keys under a bucket outside. I get the car and drive home to start getting ready for another wedding that I have later that day. Once I'm ready and walk to the car to head to the wedding, I notice a substantial tear/hole under the passenger side door. (the car sits pretty low to the ground so it looks like it got tore up my a curb or something similar) I also notice a big dent on the back bumper driver side that looks like it has tree residue on it. (A's house is surrounded by a bunch of trees btw) I immediately take pictures and send them to A asking wtf happened. I get no response for a few hours and I send more texts saying I'm not mad, I just need to know what happened because accidents happen. She finally calls me back about 6 hours after my initial text while I'm at the wedding and acts like she has no idea at all what I'm talking about. I become livid that she has the gall to completely deny doing any damage to the vehicle and starts saying that I must have done the damage without realizing it. I considered her a very good friend before this but now I'm so angry that she won't own up to her mistake that I'm considering taking her to small claims court if possible. Do I have any case here? What should I do?

    EDIT: The location this happened is North Alabama. The car was not parked in the street, it was parked in her driveway.

    Neighbor wants to divide my driveway

    Posted: 29 May 2019 09:00 AM PDT

    Hi guys, first ever reddit post! Wish it was for better reasons. Recently my neighbors have purchased this empty lot in between my house and theirs, and they want to build a fence. Here's the catch; technically speaking, half of my driveway is their property. The only way I can make sense of it is that years back (over 20) whoever owned my house owned the lot as well, and when they sold it they split the property up, without thinking it through.As of today there is a survey stake in the middle of the driveway. I have been advised to just drive over it and leave a vehicle parked there at all times, and if they fence it in then I'll have legal actions I can take against them.

    To sum it up, my questions are thus: 1. Was I given good advice? 2. What would be the best approach to this?

    I don't know if this matters but this is in Texas, so if anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Update: Thank you to the people who dropped some advice here. It was what I expected to an extent, but its nice to get a second opinion.

    I live in Kansas and I had been on a very long camping trip and needed to take a nap, as I can't can't calm down after I've had so much going on. I'm prescribed 2mg of xanax twice a day and I ended up taking four total because nothing was happening and I needed the rest. I was feeling just fine this morning but boss insisted I looked tired. I was of course very tired as I hiked for 5 days and went on 2 float trips during my vacation. I know I did something I wasn't supposed to. But I really needed the rest and the prescribed dose just wasn't having any affect.l

    All of our accounts are frozen because my dad apparently owed 27k in taxes from 2008. He died in 2009.

    Posted: 29 May 2019 10:50 AM PDT

    Hello lawyers of reddit,

    My mother is disabled with a traumatic brain injury and lives with me. We share expenses. She woke up to find that her accounts had been cleared out or frozen. On the online bank statement, it said it was coming from NY tax department. We called them, and they said there was a levy for 27k from 2008 from my dad. My dad was dying of cancer in 2008, and did die in 2009. We lived in poverty at the time.

    This is where it gets weird. We finally got the information that this bill is from an apparent 125k in income for him (which we certainly never saw) and addition 27k in income for my mom for the same company. She didn't work at the time and has never worked for them. Was this fraudulent? She doesn't work due to her disability and relies on a small amount of money (~40k in the account) from my dad's estate.

    They want us to file right away to pay the 27k we apparently owe and an additional 13k in interest. Doing so would undoubtedly put us in poverty again. I'm not saying we're getting out of paying it, but we don't even have enough information to do so. We contacted his accountant at the time, who claims to have filed the taxes for 2008 in 2015. He also claims that was not my father's income, but doesn't seem to have any of the documentation we gave him.

    The NY state tax department told me to go to the IRS to get any federal returns filed for that year, and income and wage transcriptions. I'm on hold with them now, but they're saying they don't have a record back that far. They also are saying we don't have access to his account so we can't even ask for anything from it. They're saying my parents last filed jointly in 2004.

    How can I file if I don't have the information? Am I expected to pay this 27k (or even 40k) that I didn't know about that it seems comes from my father apparently engaging in some shady stuff none of us was privy to? How can we be responsible for this debt but unable to access the account? How am I supposed to pay rent in the meantime? Is it time to start looking into a lawyer, and how could they help?

    Thank you for your time and advice in advance.

    Do we still owe money to previous landlord who sold building to new landlord?

    Posted: 29 May 2019 06:08 AM PDT

    Florida. We got behind on some rent payments with our (soon to be) former landlord who is now selling the commercial property to a new landlord. The new landlord has asked us to sign a document stating we deliver immediate possession of the property to the new landlord and we as tenants waive any and all claims against new landlord regarding the lease. New landlord shall retain security deposit.

    Is this a set up? Or (what seems to be the case from verbal conversations) is new landlord just trying to get us off property as quickly as possible to be able to do his business? Does new landlord have a claim to the overdue rent? Is he forgiving the debt? Or do we still owe it to the old landlord? Should we ask to add a clause that new landlord waives any claims against tenants?

    Sexism and lies

    Posted: 29 May 2019 04:58 AM PDT

    We are in NY. A friend of mine is a male nurse at a big doctors office. He is under investigation as of yesterday for sexism in the workplace.

    About 2/3 weeks ago, he was at work and had walked away from his computer, when he got back to it someone had messed with it. It was locked, they had just closed the laptop and placed a bunch of things on top of it. As a joke? He asked the ladies around it who did it, they all said Barbra ( not real name) had done it. They had a good laugh and when Barbra walked in he asked if she had done it. She then freaks out and asks him who said that, and he says these ladies here. At which point Barbra's friend Erika ( also fake name) looses it on him, telling him to keep her name out of his mouth. Erika has been known for outbursts like this. Him being very confused by what was funny just a minute ago walks away and just lets it go. Erika however continues to make faces at him and be generally a child. He assumes all is done and they will eventually get over it.

    They however did not get over it and both Barbra and Erika went to HR together and made up some crazy allegations against him stating he was sexist and made derogatory comments about women's menstral cycles and pregnant women.

    Hr called him in yesterday and had a hour long meeting with him about all of this. He was quite shocked to hear about any of it. When he rebutted with they are the ones always talking about their menstral cycles around me or who they are sleeping with it made him uncomfortable but he didn't say anything because he is the minority in this situation. He is male in a female based field. (He is 1 of 2 males currently working in the office he's in and the other male is transferring offices soon. )He just took it. All of his supervisors, all of his coworkers are female. He felt like keeping his mouth shut was in his favor. Just because there is a no retaliation policy doesn't mean the women won't all get together to push him out and he knows it.

    He is currently under investigation, he will know within the next 72hrs if he gets to keep his job. Is there anything he can do legally? He can't afford a labor lawyer and HR has asked him not to speak with anyone regarding this. Not even the physician he works under. Also can HR silence him like that?

    (NYC) I had an abortion nearly two years ago. I made sure it was covered 100% after a $55 deductible well in advance. I paid the deductible and filled all info out. I just got a letter in the mail from a lawyer to collect the “unpaid cost of nearly 2K”. Can I do anything here?

    So basically I had an abortion two years ago. I checked with my insurance to ensure it was covered and then double checked with the clinic as well. Everything was approved and all set. I paid the deductible the day of and signed forms saying I paid my part etc. I just get this letter and call my insurance and they inform me there was never any claim submitted?! I don't know what to do. I have an entirely different insurance company now than when I had the procedure. And it was TWO years ago! Can I be at fault for their failure to submit the claim?

    [NJ] My son is living with a drug addict

    Posted: 29 May 2019 05:11 AM PDT

    Throw away account.

    My teenage son's mom got together with a heroin addict. I found out that the boyfriend had OD'd and been subsequently arrested and spent a few months in jail but I felt like it was too late to do anything at the time. Since then, he had seemingly got his act together and they bought a house. Yesterday, I found out from his family that they got married and he has been using again. I can't send my son back to that house. What do I do? My wife wants me to call CPS but I'm worried that that won't accomplish anything. She also wants me to go down to the court and try to get temporary custody and require them to get drug tested. I feel like the state won't side with me because I'm male. Appreciate any advice.

    A little more backstory: my sons mom and I do not get along. She is a liar and a thief. She constantly puts him in situations to lie to me because she doesn't want me to know her business (like her boyfriend ODing).

    Edit - A little more relevant info: A quick search of the BF's name shows something like 15 mugshots from drug-related arrests. His ex is friends with a good friend of my wife's and told her yesterday that their 18 year old son thinks he's using and that my ex called his mother to get information on drug rehabs. Also, my son told me that the BF/Step-Dad (not sure he knows or won't tell me they got married) has been sick with a stomach bug all weekend (dopesick?).

    I don’t want to go to PFA hearing

    Posted: 29 May 2019 08:11 AM PDT

    Hi, I have a permanent PFA hearing tomorrow. My ex bf raped me and the police is investigating. It has been more than three months since the incident happened and at this moment I don't know yet how the police investigation will turn out. It has been a tough three months with a lot of changes after I got temporary PFA and cut my ex from my life. We were together for four years. I am not missing him and I don't want to go back to him. But right now I am very very exhausted and drained. I don't feel like going to the court and standing in front of the judge and the crowd taking about what happened and the worst is that he will be there too. It feels like it's just too much for me right now. I want to withdraw the PFA so I don't need to go through that process. He was abusive and manipulative but he is not someone that kills or attacks others. I think I will still be safe without a PFA. However if in the future I feel threatened can I file a PFA against the same person for the same incident ? Thank you! ( I am in Pennsylvania)
