| [WI] My employer wants me to wear a wig Posted: 03 Aug 2019 11:12 PM PDT Can my employer require me to wear a wig? I'm a woman with thinning hair. HR says my hair is "unprofessional", and wearing a hat or head cover was also rejected ("It's not normal to wear headwear indoors"). I work a desk job in an office environment and direct customer interaction is very rare. I have a number of bald/thinning male co-workers. Is this gender discrimination? It seems that gender-based hair requirements are legal, so maybe not. My thinning hair started during pregnancy, but I'm not currently pregnant. I don't have any other medical issues. Wigs are expensive and uncomfortable, and my employer is not willing to reimburse me for the cost of a wig. They are expecting me to purchase a wig that is comparable in appearance to natural hair ($$$). How hard can I push back? I can't lose this job, but I don't want to wear a wig every day for the indefinite future. I've been given two weeks to acquire a wig for daily wear. (Wisconsin, US). [link] [comments]  |
| Man got out of his car at red light and threatened to kill me Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:17 AM PDT I was late for work today, I overslept. I decided to pass the driver in front of me, so I sped by him on a curve. he was driving extremely slow. Big mistake because the driver was apparently very irritable. He tailed my car continuously honking his horn and the intersection he got out and started banging on the windows shouting for me to get out, that he wanted to kill me and he wants me dead-over and over and over. He went around back and started taking photos of my license plate until I drove off when the light changed. He held up traffic for a second but continued to tail me until I passed the entrance to my job. Later on I got a message from my dad that he posted photos of my car and license plate on our neighborhood forum (Nextdoor). He said I cut him off several times, was recklessly driving. soon after the post had over 100 comments basically saying to take the post office bc it had my license plate. then soon after they did. Is there any type of trouble I could be in legally? [link] [comments]  |
| How to legally remove my wife's property from my house? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 08:43 AM PDT So I'm in the middle of a divorce and for whatever reason shes refusing to contact me, I am genuinely trying to be a adult about this but it seems like she isn't. She was supposed to come this morning and never did. I haven't heard anything from her in a week. She moved out but she still has a lot of stuff in my house. What can I legally do to get rid of it?

| [CA] My parents' dog attacked another dog that got into the backyard, now neighbor is suing Posted: 04 Aug 2019 09:28 AM PDT In California. A neighbor's dog got into my parent's backyard and their dog attacked it. Now the neighbor is suing for 5k in damages. My folks have never had to deal with legal issues and are scared. Plus, they said the neighbor would harass them whenever she could if she saw them outside. Do they really have anything to worry about? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2019 05:54 AM PDT I closed on a house in late June, and during the inspection in late April a leak was found under the kitchen sink with wood rot in the wood in the crawl space due to the leak. The owners agreed to get the leak fixed and all rotted wood replaced. Well, the company that did the repairs did not locate the leak and only put a patch on the wood. I just had a contractor in the crawl space who said they found the active leak and one of the main external support beams to the house is completely rotted out. Now i have to get the wood replaced, mold remediated, and the leak fixed (which is hard because its behind all of the new kitchen cabinets). What can I do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:15 AM PDT I am two weeks away from closing on a house I bought and finalizing the sale of my condo. Three days ago, my lawyer called to tell me the Land Titles Office has put a freeze on the transfer of all titles in my condo complex, because it has been discovered some of the units have been numbered incorrectly. This error had gone undetected for 20 years. My lawyer and I went over the building plans to confirm whether my unit was affected by this error. It was not, i.e. the unit number on my title matches the unit number & location in the plans. My condo corporation has also confirmed they do not believe my unit is misnumbered. However, the Land Titles Office is not willing to take the condo corporation's word for it. They are refusing to lift the freeze on any units until they can have a surveyor come out and inspect the property. I am told this will take several months. Because of this situation, the deal cannot close by the closing date. I have been informed that the buyer can back out and then sue me. The only option to salvage the deal is for us to enter a tenancy agreement where the buyer rents my condo until the title issue is resolved. My lawyer has notified the buyer of the situation, and they are now making outrageous demands. They are demanding to stay in the condo rent-free, and expect me to pay their condo fees, utilities, insurance, etc. My lawyer told me this is highly unreasonable, and that normally they buyer would pay ME rent (usually same amount as monthly mortgage payments would be), not the other way around. However, if I don't meet their demands, as mentioned, they will back out and sue me. If I agree to demands, I will be stuck paying two mortgages (on the condo and new house) utilities and insurance on two properties, and condo fees until the title issue is resolved. I am also liable for any damage they cause while renting. Most likely the bank will cancel the mortgage for the house I just bought, and the owner of that house will sue me, too. I feel completely helpless in this situation. What the buyers of my condo are doing feels a bit like extortion (as they would actually be making money off the situation). I don't understand how I am liable to be sued for the condo corporation's negligence. If there was an error on my title, an argument could be made that I should have checked the building plans to ensue the unit number in my title matched. But there is no error on mine. I have a perfectly legal title to my condo unit, and I have done everything right throughout the process of selling my condo. There is literally nothing I could have done to prevent this. The freeze was put on a month ago, however, the condo corporation neglected to tell any of the unit owners that they were prohibited from selling until two days ago, when my real estate agent started spreading the word to other owners. Had the condo corp notified owners of the freeze when they became aware of it, I would not be in this situation. Do I have any rights in this situation? My lawyer doesn't seem to think so. Any second opinions? Edit: I'm in Canada. [link] [comments]  |
| My old babysitters won’t leave me and my child alone Posted: 03 Aug 2019 07:54 PM PDT Please forgive me if this doesn't make any sense. I'm kind of enraged at the moment so my mind is all over the place. My son's old babysitters, who were friends at the time and were trusted, had guardianship over him in case of medical emergencies while he was in their care while I worked. I stopped working 2 years ago (almost 3) and told them I would no longer need them to watch my child since we were planning to move to a different state anyway and I ended their guardianship after they tried to keep my son from me and told him that he could live with them forever and that I never wanted or loved him like they do. Since stopping their guardianship, they've followed us around grocery stores, comes up and stops us in stores and tries to force my child to come to them and when he doesn't they'll cry and make a scene, messaged me consistently about when they could have him, kept (and continues) posting about how much they miss my child, ask my family members (mainly my sister) if they can see him or how he's doing or if my family can send them pictures of my son. Even asking them numerous of times to stop and just leave us alone, they still continue to do these things. It's getting to the point where I have to avoid certain parts of the county that we live in just to stay away from them. If they see that I'm tagged somewhere on Facebook by a friend, they'll show up, even if it's 30+ minutes away. So my question is, what can I do at this point? I'm pretty sure this falls under harassment considering I've asked them to stop trying to contact me or my child, but I'm still not 100% sure on what exactly I can do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Located in Maryland. ETA: My son is currently in the process of going to therapy because he's scared that they're gonna try to take him away again. There was one point in time that they took him out of the county for a week and wouldn't let me get my child. Since they had guardianship, they told me they were allowed to take him without my consent and there was nothing I could do about it. When I finally got him back after the week was over, I cut contact and went and filed to end their guardianship. [link] [comments]  |
| Dads ex wife won’t give me access to the home he passed away in Posted: 04 Aug 2019 10:09 AM PDT My dad passed away and left 50% of two properties to me and my siblings but left his ex wife on the deed. A month after he passed I attempted to enter the property to start cleaning up his personal belongings to find my key no longer worked. His ex wife had the two tenants in the home change the locks. I want to be able to clean up my fathers personal belongings with my family without his ex wife present. Do I have the right to enter the property without her presence or permission ? I'm in Delaware. I just got paperwork today naming me executor and I have the EIN number to open up the estate. [link] [comments]  |
| My job won’t pay me for Jury Duty unless I use a personal day. Is this legal? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 12:08 PM PDT United States obviously, specifically Nevada. I work at a law firm and they told me that I will have to use one of my personal days to go to jury duty. I thought they were supposed to pay me regardless because it is my legal duty and obligation as an American citizen to attend jury duty. Is this correct? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2019 04:36 AM PDT Located South Canterbury, New Zealand. I'm just wondering how far can legal guardianship go. My mother is constantly threatening me about ringing my work and resigning me from my job. I'm currently 17 nearly 18, but the way she's being acting lately I'm generally a bit worried that she might do so. I like to point out that my contract being the workplace and me is signed by only myself and neither of my parents have their signatures on the contract. And when I say that my contract is between me and my employer. I get back, that I'm your legal guardian, therefore it doesn't matter. She also likes to force her way into doctors appointments, when I'm more than capable of being there by myself. If I wanted to go to a GP I would have to do it secretly and pay for it myself. Otherwise she demands to be in the room with me. She claims that since I'm not 18, she legally has to be there. But for my appointments that require my specialist, she always opens the mail, so keeping them secret is impossible. I don't believe this since, I once had to do a CT scan. And at 16 I was allowed to sign the document consenting to the use of a drug that they wanted to use to get a better picture, she wasn't offered to sign it. So I'm wondering if she as my guardian has the right to do these things? [link] [comments]  |
| I want to withdraw my terminally Ill 5 yro from school. New York State (Not the City) Posted: 03 Aug 2019 09:30 PM PDT My 5 yro has a terminal neurological illness. Microlissencephaly. He has a severe form. Can not communicate. No meaningful control over any part of his body. In school he gets mostly therapies instead of instruction. He's G-Tube fed seizures, respiratory issues and we have day and night nursing in the home. Developmentally about 3 months. We want to withdraw him from school altogether. We can schedule therapies on our own. Any thoughts on how? [link] [comments]  |
| My dad is threatening to not let me bring MY dog to my new house. Posted: 04 Aug 2019 12:38 PM PDT [MI] I am 19. My dog, Draco, is 4 years old. I'm moving out in less than a year and my dad is trying to say he's not going to let me take him. I've paid for the vet bills for the past 3 years, I pay for his food, shampoo, flea & tick, heartguard, etc etc. literally everything. I paid for him, other than $200 that my parents paid. They even call him my dog and he sleeps with me every single night. Yet somehow he thinks he has a right to him?? Will I have to take him to court? Would I win? This dog is my everything, I can't do this without him. [link] [comments]  |
| [TX] My girlfriend's car was towed from her apartment last night for no reason. Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:18 AM PDT Woke up this morning and her car had been towed. When she called the company to figure out what the heck was going on, the lady read her the note that said it was parked in a reserved spot without a reserve tag. She was not parked in that spot, and she has a pass to park in her apartment complex obviously. What's her recourse now? We haven't really ever dealt with towing companies. Also, I'm out of state so I'm trying to help her through this process. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor has garden partially on my property. Posted: 04 Aug 2019 10:31 AM PDT I live in Florida. So, there is no issue yet. I am preparing and anticipating. Our neighbors are older (70s) and have been in the neighborhood since long before we were. Evidently they had some sort of agreement with the previous owners of our home, wherein a garden was planted or maintained partially on our property. There is also an oak tree (turkey oak, I believe) that was planted from an acorn by the same neighbors. This tree's trunk sits almost entirely over our property line, in a cutout at the end of our driveway, making it more difficult to enter and exit with two vehicles. It is only about 8 years old, and does obstruct our view from the driveway when pulling out. It is within the easement specified on our survey. The gist of all this is we want the tree gone so we can straighten our driveway, and we want to create a private space where their garden is. With regard to the tree, I would like to anticipate any legal entanglements that might arise. We don't want to make enemies of these neighbors, we have gotten along really well since we have been here, but I don't think they will like this. We intend to offer concessions, such as helping them move their shrubs and whatnot. [link] [comments]  |
| Class action lawsuit against Paragard IUD Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:55 AM PDT A couple of weeks ago i had a malpositioned paragard IUD fracture upon removal. Last week I required surgery to remove the fractured shard - but it was unsuccessful. I may require more surgeries due to complications with the piece's position. The process so far has been expensive, and im nervous about being able to afford more medical procedures. Basically, there are websites out there that advertise for the class action law suit currently ongoing against Paragard IUD for this reason. Is this the best/ most correct way of going about this? Or should I be looking for a local law firm? Never had to seek legal recourse for anything in my life before and not sure where to even start. I live in Maine. [link] [comments]  |
| [FL] Fiancé and I got a bill for a baby delivery. We were out of state and she’s a Virgin Posted: 03 Aug 2019 07:13 PM PDT Today we were sent a bill for 4 days in NICU and the other hospital costs. The bill used my last name for her last name. We haven't gotten married yet and her name isn't changed to my last name yet. We don't know what happened and the hospital staff we called is refusing to acknowledge the error. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2019 09:02 AM PDT Long story short my family was stranded in Las Vegas Wed night when our flight was canceled a few hours before take off. I called Frontier as soon as I got the text and they stated they couldn't fly us direct till SAT. I asked for compensation as it would be extra rental car time, extra hotel days and food etc. Plus my wife and I missed work Fri. They stated since it was a circumstance beyond their control (they said air traffic control problems) they had no reason to have to pay us anything. They rebooked us for a few days later (SAT 9:30 pm) when checking into the airport I mentioned the issue to the lady taking my bag and she stated the cancelation was due to them not having crew. It was several other flights as well. What can I do? [link] [comments]  |
| How to proceed to handle this mess Posted: 04 Aug 2019 11:12 AM PDT This is a long story, but bear with me. I live in Fort Worth, Texas. My wife and I have been married for over 9 years and have three children. She is a stay at home mom, and I work full-time to support us. On May 10 we had an early morning argument and she told me that she "wanted a divorce". I left immediately after that to go to work and we hashed it out that evening when I returned home. Since then we have had a few arguments away from the kids regarding our relationship. Yesterday afternoon I went and hung out with some friends, something she hasn't let me do for a very long time. I told her that I would return home at 4:30...and I was late by 16 minutes. This caused her to absolutely loose her stuff when I got home, and she put the the kids right in the middle of it. Eventually we resumed our evening plans with the kids by taking them to the water park, retuned home, and I intended on sleeping on the couch. About 10:30 pm she came to the living room demanding that I speak with her, I told her not right now and I would talk to her later. Long story short she told me she hated me, wanted a divorce, and requested that I leave and she will take the kids to her parents house. I obliged to prevent waking up our kids, and to keep her from raising her voice. My brother lives in town and has an extra bedroom I could stay in, I grabbed very few items when I left and stayed the night. However, as I pulled up to his house, she called me and stated that if I didn't return home she was going to kill herself. She has done this before and I didn't think it was credible but I was still worried that she may do something with our kids there. I debated calling the police, but my brother who has gone through a nasty divorce and custody battle settled me down and said it'll be ok. After she hung up on me she turned her phone off. This morning at 11 she calls again, and tells me that I need to either come home and stay home and put on a happy face, or to pack my shit and leave. At this point in time I can't even be in the same room as her, and told her it's best for me and the children if I just stayed away for a while while I figure out what needs to happen next. This infuriated her, and she demanded I come get my shit...to which I obliged. I called my Dad because I wanted someone present given her current mental state, and they couldn't help me out so I went alone. I retrieved all of my work clothes and a few personal affects, and she starts going off on me. I told her I didn't want to talk to her without someone present or in a public space, not knowing what she may claim that I have said or done. This infuriates her and she begins to start talking about committing suicide again, at this point I start to fiddle with my phone to record her so to protect myself...obviously this didn't help matters and I ultimately left with my stuff. She called me afterwards and told me that I will not be able to see my children, and that she does not want to talk to me unless I have papers for her to sign. I told her again I didn't want to talk without a lawyer/mediator present and she kept going on. I eventually told her I will call her later today, and hung up the phone. I love my kids, and I do not want to loose them. I intend on calling a lawyer first thing tomorrow morning, but in the meantime should I be concerned with her repeated talks about self harm? I debated calling the police before I left, but instinct said that was the last thing I needed at the moment. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2019 09:10 AM PDT My husband shares custody of his two children and the mom lives in another state. We fly the kids home to mom and she doesn't show up to the airport to pick them up. We wait two hours. No communication and she never shows, we miss our connecting flight and get a hotel so the kids can rest and just stay with us another night. In that time mom calls and demands for the kids immediately or she's going to charge him for kidnapping. Do we have to hand them over right away, or can we wait until Tomorrow? It seems so wrong that she just forgot to pick up the kids making us miss our flight and now she can just take them right away even though we have a hotel and plans. Plus we are waiting to talk to our lawyer in the morning. [link] [comments]  |
| Being Forced to Continue Fostering an Aggressive Dog Posted: 04 Aug 2019 01:26 PM PDT I have fostered dogs for 9 years. I have three of my own and currently have a foster out of NY ACC (Animal Care and Control). The rescue I'm working with shall remain nameless. I agreed to take this dog back in April. In the shelter she was very fearful and shutting down. She is an overbred mama dog who has very little trust in humans. When she got off the transport, I leashed her and took her out of the van with no problem. She has been very dominant with my dogs, but they tolerate her and yield to her when she's bossy. She has no problem with me and is very trusting. She follows me everywhere, more so than even my own dogs. The problem is she does not like strangers, or males. My son is 14 and she aggressively guards me against him. He can't get near me when she is around. When I walk her she is reactive to strangers. She's a cute dog, kind of funny looking, and people stop me to ask about her, but her reaction is something out of Cujo. I have told the rescue about this behavior and they have hired a trainer. The trainer came out to my house and suggested that I muzzle her and expose her to as much as possible. The problem is she is so completely out of control around strangers that it is frightening for people to be on the receiving end. I have tried several times to introduce her to people and she just freaks out. I thought perhaps it was because I was there, so I did a little test with one of my brave friends to see how she would react if I was not present. Still the same crazy barking lunging and aggression. I am supposed to be training this dog to not be reactive to people. I am an elementary school teacher, not a dog trainer. Her aggressive behavior is far more than I signed up for. The rescue has been very abrasive and accusatory in that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to with this dog. I have no idea how she even passed the temperment test to ve released from the shelter. Again, not what I signed up for. I have appealed to the rescue explaining that not only does this dog not like my son, but I'm getting a foreign exchange student next week and I don't think it's a good idea to have this animal in my house. The rescue lady told me I am out of luck. And there is nowhere to put the dog. What recourse do I have? Please feel free to suggest a more fitting subreddit, if there is one. [link] [comments]  |

| Can I change custody for me and my sister? Posted: 04 Aug 2019 11:33 AM PDT So for some background I'm a 17 year old in Texas (Texas laws are a little different so I hope it helps?) And my little sister is 12. Recently my mom passed away and our family's taken it hard, but my dad is taking this way too far. He gets really mad when we talk to our aunt and uncle and details don't matter. The legal advice: he wants us to move to California so we're away from our aunt and uncle and I'm worried he may be serious, and I need to know Is there anyway I can legally change custody for myself and my sister so that I can live with any of my relatives and take my sister with me? I refuse to let her stay with him if he ends up moving away [link] [comments]  |
| My child's mom enrolled our daughter in school without telling me. (MI) Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:30 PM PDT Me and the mother of my child have joint legal, and physical custody. There is no primary parent, and neither of us has a final say in these decisions. According to the court we are to discuss, and come to an agreement about bigger decisions regarding our child. We already live about 25-30 minutes apart, and the court originally recommended that in a disagreement we should meet in the middle for school. My daughter's mother recently enrolled our child in a school that is about 10 minutes north of her house without telling me or even discussing this with me. I live south of her and this school is around 40 minutes away, almost an hour with morning traffic. I have been trying to get her to talk to me and workout this situation peacefully but she has pretty much refused. She even went as far as to tell me if I can't do it then our daughter is just going to have to live with her. She refuses to even try to work with me about this issue. I believe the reason she won't is becuase she doesn't have a car to take her to school and is relying on the bus. She was recently fired from her job as well, and got a job about 30 minutes north of her house within the last 2 weeks. She has been using this job as another excuse as to why it's not fair for her to have to take her to the school at the halfway point because she will ne late to work. The school I was trying to get her into is about 15 minutes away from us both which I believed to be fair. I just do not want to have to wake my child up earlier in the day than usual and drive her way over there to school and vice versa with afternoon traffic. I don't think that is fair to me and more importantly our daughter. What should I do in this situation? If I unenrolled her in the school her mom put her in and enrolled her at the school in the halfway point between houses would that be considered a violation of custody? Sorry if this reads poorly. I'm on mobile and kind of stressed out right now [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:27 PM PDT TL;DR: Grandma is on my car title as co-owner. I've paid all the money. Can it be taken from me? I bought my first new car a couple of years ago and because my credit sucks I was unable to do it on my own. My grandma offered to co-sign it. The dealer set the loan and title as a co-owner. I did not think much about it at the time. I've paid every cent on my car so far and other than co-signing my grandma has not done anything. My grandma's Alzheimer's disease has got fairly bad since I've bought my car and my uncle has been taking care of her and has power of attorney. He has sold her house and has been draining her bank accounts ( story for another time maybe ). He has convinced my grandma that my mom and I are bad and trying to take her money. I have not asked for a single cent from her in over four years. And she will barely even talk to us anymore and makes excuses on the phone to not talk to us. I am afraid my uncle will set sights on my car and will try taking it or something to get money out of me. So my question is can he do anything to me or my car? I have $15k left on the loan which I could pay off if i needed too but would rather not right now. If my grandma passes away what happens to my car? She technically owns half because of the co-ownership thing so would it become part of the will? Thanks in advance for the advice it has been really stressful with the family drama.
