| Posted: 02 Sep 2019 09:18 AM PDT US-CA United States - California What the title says. Yesterday, I got back from a trip overseas back to US. At LAX airport, I was forced to provide my Social Media and WhatsApp information. When I asked why they needed it, they said "Social Media is the best way to get to know someone, we have to ask for this information to check you" Is this legal? Would I be arrested if I kept refusing to provide this information? After providing the information, i was thanked for my cooperation and allowed back into my country. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Tx: Pregnant Wife was in a wreck and lost her baby Posted: 02 Sep 2019 09:06 AM PDT As I stated we're in Texas (Dallas area) and have suffered a tragedy. We recently went through an IVF transfer. My wife works nights at a hospital and was traveling to work when a car took a left in front of her from oncoming traffic. My wife hit the car, totaling her vehicle and injuring herself. She was taken to a local hospital. She was discharged a few hours later, and the blood test indicated that she was in fact, pregnant. Two days later, we went in to the reproductive facility and they confirmed that we had lost the baby. One other thing: the police report states that the investigator's opinion is that my wife's statements were accurate, and we also have a witness who hung around and gave a statement upholding my wife's side of the story. Our car is totaled, which is being handled by insurance. The real loss is the baby, though. My wife is devastated, and the remaining fertilized eggs we have aren't as good a quality. Here's what I think we should do, and I'm wondering if anyone has solid advice for us based on local law. 1> We may want to talk to the police about criminal proceedings. The woman driving the car didn't have a license and had a minor in the car with her. She got a citation for no operator license.2> Talk to a personal injury lawyer. Mostly to try and get compensation to pay for another round of IVF. That's expensive and our insurance has a lifetime max, which is pretty much exhausted in one cycle.3> Pay for therapy for my wife. We have some coverage through insurance, but she's an emotional wreck, and I don't have the experience to help her through this by myself. Edit: The other person's car was insured and was in the name of another family member. [link] [comments]  |
| [ Update ] (ON, Canada) My niece is stuck in a hospital how can I get her out. Posted: 02 Sep 2019 02:13 AM PDT My post link did not get much attraction but I am very thankful for the advice. SHE IS OUT! she should have been out a year ago. I contacted a lawyer to help me with request for a Consent and Capacity Board hearing but thankfully it did not have to go that far he is really good at his job. We might be Suing for Medical Malpractice so I cant really talk about it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Sep 2019 09:02 AM PDT My grandmother is 84 and is living in our long time family home with my uncle as her caretaker. She is not in great health mentally or physically. My uncle is a long time alcoholic who in a brief stint of sobriety a few years ago managed to convince my grandmother to give him control of her finances and power of attorney. Since then he has started drinking again and gets into drunken fits - yelling and screaming at my grandmother for seemingly no reason. She's really not able to emotionally handle much anymore and this just completely sets her off the deep end. She weeps and cries - she called us begging for help last night. She said she doesn't want to live this way anymore. She sounds so confused and sad all of the time - it just breaks my heart. I'm also pretty sure he stole all of her money and has been selling some of her rental properties (she had 6 just a few years ago, now she has 2). I'm trying to figure out if what he is doing is illegal in any way and can I involve law enforcement. Would we be able to take him to court to try to take away his authority over her? Please help [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Sep 2019 06:36 AM PDT A little over 3 years ago my neighbors built a 6 foot high wood panel fence alongside their property. The fence was put up my a man named Steven M (important later), around a year ago the fence started tilting heavily where my FIL who is 65 was able to shake the fence and make it wobble terribly. It was leaning onto my property and seemed like it was going to fall over eventually. The neighbor called Steven M and since they had a 10 year warranty he "fixed" the issue by installing more posts to stabilize the fence which made it better but at no point would I consider the fence stable. Around the same time I had another wood fence on my property which I needed replaced and called Steven M to replace it since I was an Idiot and he quoted me $2,500 which I paid up front (again i am a idiot) A bit later we found out that the reason why the neighbors fence was so unstable was because Steven M only dig down 6 inches to install the 6 foot fence which is way too shallow. When approached he claimed it was because the neighbors didn't allow him to dig deeper which the neighbors denied and then a week later changed his story to say the poles were at least 30 inches down (again a lie) Now it seemed that Steven m was clearly not trustworthy and I asked for my money back. He claimed to have already purchased the wood and couldn't give me the money and that he'll try to resell the wood. A week later I asked him for the wood that he bought and I would hire someone else and then I get an email from a gmail account called Jeffwoodworkinc@***.com saying that he actually spoke to Steven and was able to sell the wood for half the money and Steven will give it to me. This seemed fishy so I clicked on forgot password and it turns out that the recovery email and phone were linked to Steven M... When I approached Steven M about this he claimed that Jeff is a really old friend of his and that he's actually not going to return the money since he has spy video of my father in law vandalizing the fence by shaking it. I told him that my FIL is 60+ and the fact that he was able to shake it shows it was unstable from before. Steven M then claimed that even if he wanted to return my money he was fired from his company and I need to deal with a guy called Mark G, he again gave me an email and phone number. Turns out the email was also linked to Steven M's number and the phone goes unanswered. At this point it's clear I am being defrauded so I googled Steven M and it turns out he was the CFO 6 years ago of a multi million dollar pump and dump which the SEC closed down and he pleaded guilty to all charges. Now I'm really dealing with a fraudster. At this point Steven M is telling my neighbors that since he was fired and because of my father in laws vandalism the 10 year warranty is canceled and he's refusing to give me back my money since he's holding it as collateral for the fence being vandalized and claiming he's fired at the same time. I don't know how to proceed. Please help Location: New York City Tl;dr neighbor hired a known fraudster to build a fence which I then also used. He ended up stealing my money and also building an unsafe fence [link] [comments]  |
| WizzAir flight delayed 4 times and cancelled after waiting for 7 hours Posted: 02 Sep 2019 05:15 AM PDT Hi, I am looking for some legal advice: Me and my brother flew from Germany to Poland to a funeral. Yesterday (01.09.2019), we should fly back with WizzAir (W61091). The departure should have been at 06:15 in Katowice (KTW) and we should land in Dortmund (DTM) at 07:55.
People started freaking out,crying, telling them they have children waiting at home etc. No one knew what to do. When a few people started running back through the security control to the WizzAir office. All people followed them and a few security employees had to manage the situation. Me and my brother had to wait till 4 pm to talk to some WizzAir employee. They told us, the next possible flight would be on wednesday 04.09.2019 (3 days later). I have to work in Germany, so I declined that rebooking and in the end, me and my brother used BlaBlaCar and a 14 hours trip to get home. Some additional information:
People talked about getting 250€ per person as compensation and I would like to know if that's what's mine. Also I am not sure what I should do know, should I contact WizzAir by myself? Or should I use any kind of flight claim services (I saw hundreds of websites offering to help me, but not sure if I need them). Thanks in advance! tl;dr: WizzAir flight from Poland to Germany delayed 4 times and cancelled after that. Waited at the airport for 10 hours without any kind of information. Me and my brother ate absolutely nothing, because only sweets were available and we don't like to eat chocolate the whole day. Looking for advice how to get compensation. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Sep 2019 07:14 AM PDT I worked for company A through a temp agency. After a little more than 60 days, I got the offer for a permanent job and 'officially' started with company A on August 14th, and taken off the temp agency's payroll. Before officially transitioning over, I asked my supervisor multiple times if I would get a paycheck before September 1st, and he told me many times that I would. I let him know that I needed it for rent, and couldn't wait 3 weeks for my first check, and told him if I couldn't get a check before then I would need to delay my start date or continue working through the staffing agency (with them or someone else). So I begin work for them on the 14th, with the pay period ending on the 8/21 and first paycheck due 8/28. I unexpectedly had to go to the hospital Monday 8/26 until Thursday, 8/30. On 8/27 and 8/26 I was again reassured I would be paid. I texted and called my boss several times between 8/29 and yesterday, 9/1, asking him if I would have a paycheck waiting for me on Monday, 9/2. I told him I really needed to know because if not, I needed to get rent figured out to pay by Monday or I would assess late fees I can't afford. I didn't hear anything from him... Until 1:00 am last night. He tells me all the offices are closed for Labor Day. But also, that my background check has not been returned.. so they cannot write me a check. Not only do they currently not have my check, but they won't be able to pay me until they figure out why my background check hasn't been returned yet, which could be weeks. Oh, and also, I can't return to work until that happens. I'm shocked and heartbroken. Not only do I not have the money I desperately needed for rent, but I don't know when I will get it. I also suddenly have no income at all to pay all my future bills coming up, and it's too late to do anything about my rent and and gas utility payment, groceries and money to get me and my kids through the week. If he has just let me know last week or the week before, I could have gotten temp work and figured out other ways to get me by. Now I can't, and need to get something figured out for the rest of the month with negative notice. I did inform him that by Utah Law, I should be paid no later than 10 days from the close of the pay period. I haven't heard anything back. What's my best course of action? File a Wage Dispute, or try to get a loan from a lawyer? I have a feeling I worked for free and never will get that money. [link] [comments]  |
| Apartment Complex Showed Us Remodeled Units And Gave Us An Older Unit Posted: 02 Sep 2019 07:10 AM PDT Minneapolis, MN Our apartment complex toured us two different units, both with remodeled and new kitchens and appliances. We asked if all the units were similar on the tour and the manager said yes. We didn't feel the need to tour the apartment we signed the lease for because of those statements and because there was a tenet living in the unit at the time. When we opened the door to our new home last night, we found a very dated kitchen. We expressed our frustrations while talking to the apartment complex and accused them of baiting and switching. They said that they would have never of told us that all the units are the same and there is nothing they can do. Is there any grounds for me to demand lower rent? Do I threaten a terrible google review? Any advice is welcomed and appreciated [link] [comments]  |

| My brother is hemorrhaging money, and it's hurting my family, and future. Posted: 02 Sep 2019 03:02 AM PDT Title says it all. That's the short version. I grew up in a (upper) middle class home, raised by a single parent, my dad, after my mom passed away when I was seven. Today, my family consists of just my dad, myself, and my brother. I'm thirty four years old, and my brother is four years older than me. I've always been the "baby" of the family. Because of the loss of my mother, my dad was determined give us every opportunity and experience he could think of. We had Disneyland annual passes basically all throughout my childhood (it helped my mom relax, and my dad is a Disney geek himself), dad was very active in our school, scouting, etc. activities throughout (and was a proud girl scout dad), and when we were older, he sent us overseas a few summers in a row during our middle school and high school years, then later he set us up so we could focus purely on college. He retired from his job while I was still in my first year of high school, and he was living quite comfortably with my brother in college and picking up his first job at Disneyland, and me as a very easy going teenager. I share this part of the backstory because I think in spoiling us rotten, my dad created a monster in my brother. My brother is obsessed with taking trips, and travel, multiple times a year. Every year. We live in California, though, this summer my brother has moved out of state to take on a national park job for a year. But before this happy occasion, here's what we've been up against--- Almost every year, he goes to: Disney World in Florida, any of the Disney Parks in Asia, New York, and spends anywhere from two to five days in either location before flying back. A handful of weekend long distance trips. Basically using whatever vacation time he has, whatever funds he earns, doesn't really save up, and for the last ten years or more, our dad has foot the bill of his other costs of living. It's one bad decision after another, sometimes several at a time. While I moved out a few years ago, I still come back fairly often and see my dad several times a week. And and that time since after I have found my own starter place with my fiance, I have seen my childhood home deteriorate worse than it started to when I was very young. I grew up in hoarder-like situations off and on. Not full blown hoarder, but it was definitely very "pack rat", especially amid my mom's health crisis as she turned to retail therapy. After her passing, while we were kids, my dad had friends (and us) help clear and sort the place up as much as possible. In my life, I have never seen the back bathroom work. I've also never seen my dad sleep in my parent's room; he has always slept on the couch. Despite making my parent's room perfect at the time (this clean up effort was after my mother passed away), my dad still chose to sleep on the couch. Now today mom's room is storage again. So is the back bathroom. So is my old bathroom, as plumbing just apparently decided to stop working in there over the last ten years, and my dad has never agreed to have any repairs done... My dad has a long history of resisting change for the better ("we already have a insert broken/older-than-me item title here, why replace it??"), and for that reason, off and on through and shortly after college, I spent as little time at home as possible. My dad wouldn't let me help, so, I stayed away. The clutter got much, much worse after my grandmother passed away and we brought in her things. Today, since my move, it has become increasingly worse as utilities have stopped functioning. Our kitchen sink doesn't work, and hasn't for years. Neither does our dishwasher. Our clothes washer.....is special, but it more or less functions. (I never wash anything I don't want to risk be ruined at home, I always go to a laundromat. And even then it's a risk.) Different light fixtures still need work. We could really stand to hire a gardener at least for a month. Our doorknob and mail slot are busted. And lastly, our last shower was on it's last legs this year. I more than suspect my brother's spending habits are part of why. Or so my dad claims. Between his trips, his vitamin quack doctor, his eating habits, Philippine girlfriends, and his psychics... I don't know how much of this disaster is him, or how much is dad. But of what I do know for sure about my brother's spending habits, they are excessive, and no amount of reason can get through to him! He claims he pays for his trips, then charges up to $35 a day on food to a family credit card account I refuse to use. He's gained a worrying amount of weight, I suspect he has a food addiction as he is almost constantly snacking. Early this spring I watched in horror as my dad, now in his mid 70's, came down with pneumonia and couldn't so much as bathe easily, and my brother, who tried to make himself available, was still very hard to rely on. I took dad to the hospital. I stayed home with him and endured the horrible coughing that lessened as the antibiotics did their work. Shortly after dad's recovery, my brother got the national park job, and set out to drive across the country. Then, and only then, did my dad agree to have the shower fixed. He told me last winter that he was delaying repairs on purpose to motivate my brother to move out, but I'm not sure I buy that excuse, as my dad has notoriously resisted change in general in the last many years. But, it's been over a month later after the shower, and we're getting to the kitchen sink next. At my job, I'm currently living paycheck to paycheck. I spend no more than $11-15 (closer to $12) a day on food, and since they have cut my hours, I have dedicated just about all of my off time to staying with dad and attacking the house full speed. Vacuuming, mopping, lawn work, de-dusting whatever surface I can get my hands on at a pace my carpal tunnel won't yell at me for working. I've been re-organizing, sanitizing, and even rebuilding. My dad won't let me get rid of anything, but I can at least dress it up well enough. I've grown to swear by Clorox wipes. Liking my efforts, and persuaded by the better argument of his sciatica, my dad finally agreed to replace his couch with a bed. I'm doing everything I can to make dad comfortable in his own home until my second (seasonal) job starts later this month. Progress is slow, but progress is still progress--- and then my brother messages me today about his plans to go to Disney World, visit here, and then possibly Disneyland Paris in the next month. I have tried to tell him to hold off. I sent him pictures of my efforts, and of the fixed, clean shower. I've told him that if he holds off, I can afford to fix the sink- maybe even install a dishwasher. If he holds off a year and saves his income, I can in all likelihood arrange more repairs in our other bathroom. I have tried to tell our dad to stop paying for his food as he now makes at least 35-37k, so that way hopefully he'll be less inclined to go on said holiday trips. Neither of them will listen to me. I can't control their free will. But this spiraled out of control long ago and I was in denial. I'm really starting to fear for my dad's ability to reason. I know he doesn't want to throw his son under the bus, but if my brother learns to spend wisely, NOT travel, then on his current income, he can pull it off. (But if he hasn't learned that yet after after having a master's degree I don't know if he ever will) Dad still isn't convinced to cut him off. My fiance seems to be the only person who can kind of talk sense into him, but on this, he won't budge. Is this elder abuse? Am I in trouble? I have been seeing a therapist recently, and I'm terrified to mention any of this to her for fear of starting a major legal battle of some kind that I absolutely cannot have a snowball's chance in Texas of affording. I'm trying to save for my wedding, and for my own future. But I don't know what to do. My brother is likely going to be spending more than he makes (again), and he has power of attorney. He pays psychics for "protection" so his Philippine girlfriend doesn't find out about the other international girls he was talking to. And he has power of attorney. My dad can barely rinse a dish at home, and I don't know who is more at fault, because I blame myself, too. I'm terrified. I'm terrified to get help but it's desperately needed. I'm terrified of being slapped with elder abuse, as this happened to a friend of ours who actually went to jail for it. I'm terrified my brother will have more control than he should ever be trusted with over our finances in the future and do something stupid. I don't know what to do, if anything can be done at all. *EDIT* I wrote this after basically not sleeping for almost a full day. So perhaps it was hard to get everything out. I will try to be more clear: I don't live at my dad's. I have taken it upon myself to spend almost all my off time from work there to help him and clean the place, run errands for/with him, and keep him company. I hate seeing him live on antihistamines to breathe while he lives among the dust. Last November, I needed to have an emergency surgery. I was put on medical leave from my full time job for three months (and was put on part time after I came back as I needed to move to a different department, also for medical reasons). Just before that happened, my brother took a tour of the Asia Disney Parks with his mail order girlfriend. He went to Disney Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai. He blows through just about all his finances. Our dad picks up the slack and pays his credit card bills. But because of my brother's NON STOP spending, over the holidays he has driven our dad into credit card debt for the first time in our dad's life. And dad and is STILL IN DEBT after six months. My brother, who now lives out of state, is about to declare bankruptcy, is not even past his probation period at his new year-long contract job (which could turn into a career if he proves himself reliable and stays put), and is ALREADY planning to go on three trips in October-November, including Disney World and Disneyland Paris. While our dad is in debt (paying my brother's credit card bills), and can't afford to make basic repairs at his own home. Is THAT financial elder abuse? My brother also has power of attorney. I was terrified that I was going to lose my dad this year when he had pneumonia. If that happened, my brother would have been in charge of our dad's will and estate, and would likely squander it fast without me to keep him in check, which I'm beginning to believe isn't possible. My dad's home is barely functioning while my brother is in credit card debt, is about to declare bankruptcy, and is still traveling internationally. Is that elder abuse? What the hell can be done?

| Horse riders cutting through property Posted: 01 Sep 2019 08:16 PM PDT I own four acres in Maryland. I share a driveway with another property that is behind mine (they have an easement.) My property is wooded with a creek on the backside and my property line extends about 200 feet past the creek. This past spring, I noticed that a wide trail (10-15 feet) had been cleared out of the woods, running along the creek. I thought it odd but figured perhaps the utility company did it for some reason. Or perhaps even the neighbor behind me. I still have no idea who cleared the bank of my creek. Recently, I have had horseback riders cutting through my property and riding their horses in my driveway (as evidenced with large piles of horse crap.) I confirmed with the property behind me that they did not aquire horses. I placed 2 no trespassing signs (with 'no horses' written below) in the driveway (one at either end of my property.) Despite the signs, horse riders are still cutting through the property. They are no longer using the driveway but they are cutting across this mysterious trail that runs parallel to the creek. I double checked and there is no easement for any purpose where the trail is. It definitely runs on my property and then onto mysterious neighbor's property. How can I get people to stop riding their horses? More no trespassing signs? A trail camera? Do I visit the horse farms across the street? I'd hate to fence it but will if I must. (FYI I care because I am concerned about a dead tree falling and injuring someone or my dog spooking horses and being held responsible.) [link] [comments]  |
| Ex Housemate Won’t Return My Share of the Security Deposit Posted: 02 Sep 2019 08:38 AM PDT So me and some friends last august, around this time, all rented a house in San Diego, CA on a year lease. We all signed the contract as tenants. I unfortunately had to move out of the house in October for some personal reasons, but my spot there was filled and they carried on. The lease ends today and I had sent my old housemate who handled pooling the money from us for the deposit and rent a text a week earlier about the lease ending and getting the security deposit back. No Answer. I texted her again this morning... come to find out she blocked my number. Each one of us put $600 in for the deposit and she doesn't seem keen on giving my part back. I guess my question would be, can she do that? If I were to pursue legally, would there be any substance on my part? she's essentially stealing $600 from me. If anyone has any sort of idea of how I could go about this, I would be extremely appreciative. Thank you guys :) [link] [comments]  |
| Tried to move into a new apartment, too filthy to live in... [Pittsburgh, PA] Posted: 02 Sep 2019 10:56 AM PDT [Pittsburgh, PA] Me and my (then) fiancée viewed an apartment about a month ago. It was in the neighborhood we wanted and the best price we could find. Everything seemed perfect and we signed a lease the next week. Our lease stated we would move in yesterday (Sept. 1), and our old lease ended at the end of August. Our wedding date was August 30th so we moved everything into a trailer last weekend and have been staying at our wedding venue before the wedding and until Sunday morning . We've been itching to settle back into a routine and finally move in to our new house. We picked up the keys from the real estate office Sunday and went to start moving in when we saw the horror show that was our new home. It was absolutely trashed, every surface was filthy, very well hidden during the visits with the real estate agent. Mold on AC units, sinks and countertops. Shit in toilet, rotten smell in fridge, terrible condition. (we sent pictures a list of everything to the real estate agency) We talked to the intern that was in the office and he talked to the owner and asked us to stay in a hotel for the next 2 nights while they would clean it and that they would reimburse us. So we checked in to a hotel, we're there now, and they texted to tell us that they'll go to the apartment and start tomorrow morning. We were reassured that they could have everything move in ready by tuesday night, even with the long list of fixes needed, however it's looking like it may be a much longer process (especially since they haven't even been there yet), and we are stuck living out of our car and a hotel until they get on this. What should we do? How are we protected in our lease? How do we make sure that this isn't a bigger issue than dirty last tenants and not anything systemic? How should we be compensated by the real estate company? (mods, if anything in the post needs fixed let me know, this is my first LA post and i'm a bit overwhelmed right now). [link] [comments]  |
| Step siblings with learning disabilities Posted: 02 Sep 2019 09:26 AM PDT I have a parent that I heavily suspect has BPD. This parent irrationally took all my siblings out of public school and into homeschooled online school about 6 years ago. The two step children are the last left to finish and they are 18 years old. They are currently failing their online school due to what I believe is extreme educational negligence on my parents' part. This parent has never set up standard times to work on school work and expects my siblings to just magically finish school without any help. They had been underperforming before but now it is likely they won't obtain a high school degree and get out of the mentally abusive household. Is there anything I can do as a third party? My parent totally cut me out of my siblings' lives my first two years of college due to my "bad influence" before and I am uncertain on how to deal with this now, especially because the two siblings are 18, but definitely are not emotionally/mentally able to handle moving out and living on their own, and may possibly never be due to negligence from my parents, and thus will always be subject to emotional abuse. The parent also denies that the siblings have emotional and learning disabilities. They also receive little to no social interaction with their peers and are practically forced to be shut ins. Would welcome any advice. Edit: Parents and siblings live in Kansas I live in Michigan. [link] [comments]  |
| Can I throw away my neighbors putrid box of hello fresh? Posted: 01 Sep 2019 07:15 PM PDT Louisiana My neighbor recently moved out and a few days later a box of her mail order food arrived on her doorstep (8 days ago). Being an apartment building, her door step is about 18 inches from mine and it smells/looks like a corpse. I've contacted me landlord who contacted her and she never showed up to get it. Someone please tell me it's legal to dispose of this biological hazard. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2019 10:56 PM PDT I moved into an apartment and shortly after the building sold and the property management company / building went under new management. The billing systems for the original apartment was all managed by an online payment system. Due to negligence on their side, those systems expected payments despite payments now being owed to another company / done through a different portal entirely. They recorded each subsequent month of the sale as delinquent and reported nearly a years worth to credit reporting agencies. Then they sent me a notice of this error, and the only consolation was a letter I could provide to creditors and places I may be applying to rent (since this would show up on background checks), and advised me to provide that to credit reporting companies to have it removed. They noted this doesn't affect my score, but clearly it's a black mark, and they said they couldn't / wouldn't do anything else to help because it was "my" credit report. Is there anything I can do, besides just the remediation they suggested? If it helps, this happened in Shoreline, WA. Edit: This happened to a number of residents who were living here during the management change. Some (allegedly), were denied on rental applications for other places, but I do not have their contact / nor can confirm this (the new management brought up that some people were denied on our walkout, I luckily did not have issues finding a new residence).

| Posted: 02 Sep 2019 12:54 PM PDT Hi! My lease ended June 1, 2019. Landlord said they would return the security deposit within 30 days. It is now 90+ days and I have not been able to get a response from the landlord (formerly responsive) by email or phone. What should I do? Apartment was left in exact condition as it was given to me. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor is building a noisy concrete supply company in my retired parents backyard Posted: 02 Sep 2019 11:21 AM PDT This is in Hays County, Texas: My parents live on a square 5 acre plot of land with their house located 30 feet from the northern most border. For 30 years previous to this, the 50 acres to the north had been unused/unoccupied land. Now, the owner has started construction work on a 40x80 foot parking lot. What little information they've gotten out of him is that there will be a landscaping/concrete and construction supplies company built there soon. My parents are concerned about the noise and loss of privacy this will bring, as well as the potential damage to their shared road from construction trucks getting supplies. They don't know why it has to be built literally 35 feet from their house when he has 50 open acres to build in. Do they have any legal options or ground here? Personal opinion: He's an asshole for placing it as close as possible to their house. [link] [comments]  |
| [OH] My Wife is attempting to interfere with child custody exchanges with co-parent Posted: 02 Sep 2019 12:03 AM PDT I have a shared parenting agreement with a woman over our son. We meet a few times a week to exchange, normally everything goes smooth. Occasionally though, the schedule goes awry because of normal complications (traffic, work, etc). However, my wife flips her shit each time and starts harassing me and threatening to harass the other woman. Tomorrow morning I needed to go get my son early in the morning bc the other woman is working, so tonight my wife blocked my car in the garage with her car and is threatening problems if I try to go for my son without her. However, my wife has caused issues in the past and the co-parent has made it clear she doesn't want my wife there at the exchanges (nor do I, I don't want any drama, I just want to get my kid and go). Things like this happen all the time with my wife and I'm getting tired of it. Long-term, divorce is looking like the only route out of this, but short-term, do I have any legal recourse against my own wife if she's continually harassing me and trying to interfere with me raising my other child?

| My 4 year old son was sexually assaulted by my 11 year old step-brother. Posted: 02 Sep 2019 01:02 PM PDT My 4 year old son goes to my mother's house to spend the night a few weekends a month and always enjoys playing with my 11 year old step-brother, we'll call him L. My mom remarried several years after my father passed away and her new husband has a son (age 3 at the time they married, 11 now) that spends every other weekend with his dad, at my mom's house. Several months ago, my son started doing things that could easily be considered "curious young boy" behavior like pulling out privates and his butt. We asked him about it and he said that he learned it from L. We asked my mother to keep a close eye on them while he was there and that behavior seemed to go away pretty quickly. Fast forward to last night: My son was taking a bath with his other cousin, also a 4 year old boy. His aunt left the room for a moment and came back to my son and nephew playing with each other's privates in the bath tub. We immediately got them out and separated them to begin asking where this behavior came from. It took some questioning and reassuring that my son would not be in trouble for anything he told me and once he understood he wouldn't be in trouble he began to tell me what happened. While at my mother's, L was in the shower in the same bathroom that my son was taking a bath in the separate bathtub. He says that once my mom left the room that L got out of the shower and into the tub with him. He says that L put his hand on my son's private parts and then grabbed my son's arm and forcefully placed my son's hand onto his (L's) privates. I recorded the conversation I had with my son and made sure he understood that it was very very important that he was telling the truth and that in no way was I asking him to say something that was untrue. He assures me that this was an isolated incident and that it hasn't happened since. I immediately called my mom and she got my stepdad and L himself involved immediately. She says that L is prepared to face the consequences for his actions, which to me seems to be an admission of guilt. My question in all of this is what I need to do. It has already been established that my son will never go to her house again if L is there but he loves his grandmother and I can't keep him away from her. She and my stepdad are both heartbroken and both feel at fault because it happened in their home. How should I handle this situation from a legal standpoint? Do I call the police? Is there even anything the police can do at this point? Edited to add location: This is in the state of Alabama [link] [comments]  |
| Mother of my child will not communicate with me about custody arrangements. Posted: 02 Sep 2019 12:49 PM PDT (on mobile) My ex and I have been separated almost a year now. We still have not made custody arrangements regarding our kid. We had a small conversation about it at one point but for a few months now she hasn't said anything. She has blocked me on all social media and I have no way to contact her. How do I make a case myself? What can I do to prevent any serious legal action? I know that if I just ignore it I can go to jail or be forced to pay back child support. Any advice would be helpful. Edit: Florida [link] [comments]  |
| I was scammed by Change My Address Posted: 02 Sep 2019 10:40 AM PDT A website called change-my-address.org scammed me. I just moved and I googled "forward my mail" or something to that effect. The first results had "USPS" in the title, which was a deliberately misleading hyperlink name. I plugged in my info, including my credit card information (idiotic, I know, but my roommate told me they charge a $1 fee). Thinking I'm on the right website, I proceed and things are going smoothly. All of a sudden I see the charge was for $44.50. Absurd. Of course they don't answer their support line and ask for more information to call you back. They have an F from BBB and over 150 complaints. Payment: I used a secured credit card. The payment is still processing so my bank needs me to wait before filing the dispute. What should I do? I want everyone to know about these thieves!

| Posted: 02 Sep 2019 08:27 AM PDT Dorian is on its way up the coast, and I am worried about my trees. Some years back I lost my job and it's been a struggle from then until today to get back on my feet. I own my home, and we are doing better now, but the home repairs had piled up and we are starting to knock them out. Among them is the large oak tree that has had pieces falling off for a while. We have not had the money to have it cut down up to now, but right now it's a bit late. This tree also bisects the border between my property and my back neighbor's. So I question what could happen if part of this tree falls on a neighbor's property and does damage. This did happen shortly after I lost my job; there was another hurricane that dropped a giant limb in my back neighbor's yard and destroyed a small tree and her clothes line. I cut up the limbs and moved them out of her yard, repaired the clothes line, and her tree grew back. She was very cool with the whole thing. My next door neighbors (who, due to actions in another post here, we are not happy with) are likely not to be cool with any damage. I guess the questions here would be:
EDIT: TL;DR I have a tree that I ultimately fully intend to have cut down. Storm is coming and it's just a bit late now and I want to know what I might be in for. [link] [comments]  |
