| Posted: 02 Feb 2020 09:52 AM PST edit: we live in wisconsin Me and my ex have split custody of our 12 year old daughter. She's with her mom during the week and I get her most weekends. Last weekend when I picked her up she was acting strange, and I noticed a bruise on her arm. I pried, and she admitted her mom had hit her. She also had another nasty bruise on her back. I contacted CPS and they've started an investigation. Last night, a mutual friend of me and my Ex texted me saying she ex told her she planned on taking daughter to canada. I'm unsure why, but I'm assuming she's doing it to get away from the investigation or something, I'm not aware that she has anyone up there to stay with and I doubt she could just stay there, so I dont know what her plan really is. Anyhow, since she's being investigated, I'm assuming she can't leave the country. Should I tell the police she said she was going to? Or if she tries to will she be stopped anyway? What should I do here? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Feb 2020 10:41 AM PST We live in an apartment complex in Phoenix, Arizona. Our upstairs neighbors constantly smoke cigarettes and weed in their apartment, and it goes through the vents into our room, and the vents in our 10 month old baby's room. The stomp around and yell through the floor because we've called security on them before, so they purposely make it as loud as they can. They blast music all day and night, and are constantly screaming at each other. I've had to call the police multiple times because I can hear the husband beating his wife and son. The officers have told me he's been arrested for domestic abuse before. He throws glass bottles off the balcony into the parking lot all the time and it shatters everywhere. My wife works mornings, and he stands out there and stares at her and makes comments towards her. He deals drugs in front of our complex, and we have seen him multiple times get into his car while drinking liquor straight out of the bottle and drive away with his 2 year old son on his lap with no seatbelt. We've brought it up to the landlords, and they said they gave them a 30 day notice on December 5th, then it changed and they said they would be out by the end of the week (3 weeks ago). Now their telling us we can move apartments but we have to pay the deposit and everything all over again, or we can break our lease and pay over $3,000 for it. Can we legally withhold our rent since the lease agreements are being violated? What can we do in this situation? Any help is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| USPS keeps returning my mail to sender Posted: 02 Feb 2020 06:48 AM PST This has been going on for over a year now. I have contacted the local and regional postmasters and they insist that my address is correct and I should be getting my mail. However, it keeps getting returned to sender. I have to drive out to work to pick up my tax-forms and keep confirming that my address is correct with the agencies who mail my bills. It is over 150 items that have not been delivered. I've saved the images from my informed delivery. What else can I do? Who can I contact next? [link] [comments]  |
| The person who has my old number is pretending to be me and is acting creepy; I am a little scared. Posted: 02 Feb 2020 11:48 AM PST I recently got a new phone number. The person who got my old number is a creepy guy. People have been telling me that when they tried to reach me at that number, he pretended to be me. He tried to have someone meet up with him for lunch (they luckily figured out it wasn't me, but they were about to meet "me") . He says weird sexual things to all the girls who try to talk to him. It makes me very uncomfortable and I see a potential risk for the worst (rape or something) if someone were to meet up with him. Can I report this? And to who? I no longer live in the area code, I am about 400 miles away. I was thinking I could contact my hometown police and file a report. I know I could probably also contact my carrier and let them know but I am not sure what they can do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| How to know if you’re divorced when you haven’t heard from your spouse in 5 years? Posted: 02 Feb 2020 06:12 AM PST I left a bad relationship in 2015. I got married at 19, bad idea to begin with but I moved from South Carolina to Kansas basically overnight. No one ever knew about the marriage. I graduated college and almost forgot about marriage myself. Problem is I am engaged to be married in the next few months and I have no idea if I am legally divorced or not. Can anyone help? And yes my fiancé is aware of the situation and he is one of the few people who knows. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Feb 2020 11:45 AM PST Divorced my wife 2 years ago because she choked my teenager. Immediately following my announcing the divorce to her, she went to my two teens and told them I cheated on her a few years prior. She alienated my two teenage daughters against me and I've been fighting for two years to get them to talk to me. We share joint legal and physical custody but I haven't seen my two oldest in two years. Recently my ex told me she would be moving to Ohio (I stupidly gave her permission last year) and when I filed for reunification counseling with my estranged daughters, she sent me a 45 day notice and decided to finally make that move to Ohio. (We are currently in California). I found out two days ago that she left and moved with my four littlest ones, but my teenager that is still a minor (she's 17) she left here in the care of a former teacher. Never consulted with me, never told me, won't give me any information as to what the address is or her phone number. I tried going to my daughters school to see her at softball practice and she started screaming and acting terrified. Her coach told me she definitely has been brainwashed but that there was nothing he could do and that she was about to bolt. I called law enforcement and asked what help they can be and they said not much since she's 17. I have joint legal and physical custody, my ex wife has officially moved out of the state, and my 17 year old is being kept from me at a lady's house that I don't know. I have a hearing on February 10th (for more time with my smaller kids and reunification counseling with my teen) so I'm wondering what to expect? Will the judge side with me? She has been scolded by the judge already on several occasions for various things. [link] [comments]  |

| Husband married me for a green card.. what can I do? Posted: 02 Feb 2020 08:23 AM PST I found out my husband was cheating on me 1 month before our 2 year anniversary. The 2 year mark is important because if we divorce after the 2 year mark - the marriage is considered more "legitimate" in Immigration's eyes. He got caught and apologized and and then essentially started blaming me, accusing me of not being affectionate enough and that he made these mistakes in frustration. He said he need time apart to get himself together. He also revealed he was $30K in debt (which I had no idea about). Everyone ate this up and I was basically put at fault in front of the families. There were multiple girls he was trying to talk to but there was one in particular that basically was his girlfriend. He told everyone he stopped talking to her and it was a mistake. In digging for more information - I found out that he started stepping out of the marriage right after we had our Green Card interview. We spent 3-4 months apart. We'd still talk here and there. He said he needed time to get himself together. In hindsight he was just prolonging the time we were married to pass the 2 year mark and stretch it out as long as possible. He even took a trip oversees to his country and I told everyone he must be trying to see that girl but his family convinced me otherwise. During this time he also signed up for the Army Reserves. His whole plan was to strengthen his case for a 10-year green card. He figured even if I left him, he'd be able to continue through the Army. After he took his "time" the families got back together and we decided to continue on in the marriage and start living together again. At this point he claimed he wasn't talking to anyone and wanted to be with me. Well lo and behold once a cheater, always a cheater. I found enough proof to suggest that he DID meet this girl oversees and is most likely engaged to her WHILE still married to me. He lied to prolong the marriage and secure his green card. And in hindsight, there were so many red flags but he kept making excuses. He proposed to me with a fake diamond ring, he never bought any property with me (looking back it's because he knew from the start he wasn't going to stay with me and wouldn't have to split it), his salary is $85K and has a second job where he makes mostly cash and somehow he's in so much debt, he ran away and I have debt collectors coming to MY parent's house bc that's where we stayed for most of the marriage. He invested $0.00 into the marriage, wedding and 2+ years later he's coming out with a green card and is most likely trying to throw his debt on me, even though I had no knowledge of it. And he's been sending money to his friends and parents so it makes me suspect he is hiding his money. I know I've been made a fool of. I thought the marriage was real. Looking back from day 1 all the little things he did and said are starting to become clear. The first day we met he said that he doesn't want me to think he's interested because he'll get a greencard. He was already here on an H1B (originally on a student visa) and said he worked this hard himself to get here and doesn't ever want anyone to think he's with me for a greencard. I am so stupid, all the red flags were there, he was feeding me this narrative from the start and I didn't realize I was being played. I've spoken to lawyers and I see there's not much I can do. He screwed me over. But still decided to come on here if anyone has any advice on legal action I can take against him. [link] [comments]  |
| Overtime loophole? Reduced base pay rate Posted: 02 Feb 2020 08:35 AM PST Is it legal for an employer to reduce my base pay rate to comply with time and a half rule. I work 12 hour shifts, rotating from days to nights. My base pay rate is $38.97, i get this for holidays/vacation. When i work a scheduled shift the first 8 hours are reduces to $34.20, then the final 4 hours i get time and a half off that rate, so it equals out to being 12 hours of pay at my base rate.

| Ex lost in criminal court. Now shes trying family court to claim abuse? NYC Posted: 01 Feb 2020 11:43 PM PST Tldr at bottom I was in an on and off relationship with my ex for about 5 years. When I finally broke up with her after cheating on me (after attempts throughout the 4th year where she would go to my groups of friends and classes and convince them and myself that it was my fault and to get back with her) and ive never been happier. Plenty of friends knew at this point, and my family had been known but I was so wrapped up in feeling bad for her that I would excuse everything she did or said to me. The criminal court case started when she came to my house one day to get some of her things (I was holding on to about 8 bins worth of her things because she didn't want to live with me, nor her mom and was either at a shelter or a new BFs house) when she was suddenly accusing me of raping her demanding I admit it. I was in shock and said nothing because disagreeing with her would always lead to shouting and crying and insults. when I realized she was recording. Upon telling her I saw she was recording, she kicked me down the stairs as I went to walk away, and called the cops, who promptly arrested me (no mention of me being yeeted down stairs by them) the case went on about 3 months with the charge of rape in the third degree and some relatable misdemeanors like sexual assult I guess, and was dropped and dismissed on lack of evidence. during this time she came with cops one day out of the blue to get her things and we gave her all but two bins that were tucked away and I forgot about. which im ready to give because id like to be done with it, never thrown anything out. a few days later she filed for family court with I shit you not about 15 new things like identity theft, grand lacerny. etc. and I am to appear in family court soon enough and decided I should gather info, but everything seems to be about divorce and child custody. So what should I know about family court and how to go about it? ive never been in this situation TLDR: Ex claimed I raped her and I got arrested on no evidence. case was dismissed in 3 months on no evidence, and now shes filing for family court with 15 or so new charges like grand larceny. I have no idea what to do but none of its true and im worried she can just cry and they charge me edit: removed a time frame because paranoid of being found irl [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Feb 2020 05:30 AM PST I was born and raised in Greece and, after finishing school 3 years ago, I migrated to Munich, Germany to pursue technical education. I first needed to have a German language crash-course, before applying to different vocational schools. During the first year of my stay I'd live at my uncle's, who has been in Germany for over 30 years. I was told that I had to change my primary(legal) residence to that of my uncle's, since I would be living there during my training, before finding work and a place of my own. The problem is, during a personal crisis I came to the conclusion that I wanted to live in Greece and I didn't want the future my family had planned for me in Germany. So I moved back to my parents' house in Greece after 1 year abroad, took the university entrance exams, started studying and got a job and now my first salary. The problem is, that for the past 2 years my legal residence has been in Germany and my actual residence is in Athens. I forgot I had changed it and I have put the wrong address/country of residence in a multitude of forms and official documents. All my mail still goes to my uncles' house and I was told that I have to correct this immediately. I don't know anything about law and neither does anyone in my family, but I was told that I could be fined for this. Another fear of mine is that I was taxed in Greece, since I recently started having income and I am afraid that it could be a problem, as I haven't paid any taxes in Germany, where my current legal residence is and that I could also be fined for that. I couldn't afford a fine at the moment since I am not financially stable and I can't borrow any more money from my family. TL;DR: I changed my legal residence to Germany, where I lived for more than a year, but I haven't ever worked there and I am currently living/being taxed in Greece. Could I be fined, and if yes can I avoid it? [link] [comments]  |
| My Roommate (Who is a New Attorney And is Using Scare Tactics) Wants to Break the Lease Early Posted: 02 Feb 2020 01:24 PM PST My roommate is an attorney so I want to make sure I'm as educated as possible with how to handle this situation. She puts everything in writing and has sent it by text or email. She's been spending the last few weeks somewhere else and coming home sporadically. When she is home, she makes sure someone is always with her (I'm assuming for the purposes of a witness). I came home from a weekend trip today to find everything in the common area gone. Her bedroom furniture is still in place and she hasn't touched my stuff, but I'm trying to figure out her legal angle. I know there is one because she's been quoting directly from the lease and threatening to reach out to my father who is a guarantor, I presume mostly as a scare tactic. As the title states, my roommate has asked me to sign roommate release forms so she can move elsewhere. We haven't been getting along, but with five months left on the lease it's more trouble than it's worth to find people for a lease takeover. I'd rather just do my own thing and let her do her own thing and then we can both just GTFO at the beginning of July. I am also not interested in staying in this city once the lease ends and signing a new lease would likely lock me into spending more time here than I would like. That being said, for two weeks I was accommodating and went on an intensive search trying to find someone to take over her portion of the lease. This was extremely time consuming. After two weeks I called off the search and told her that if she wanted to move out she'd have to find someone herself. She did not want to do this and said she was staying here. Four days ago a woman came to our door and hand delivered a notice that our electricity would be shut off within 24 hours if our bill wasn't paid. I was shocked. To my knowledge we had been paying all of our utilities through the apartment's online portal each month. Since I am not the main lessee all it shows on my account is "utilities xx-dollars with the date." I called the number on the notice and was told I could not access the information since my name was not attached to the account. I alerted my roommate to the matter and she sent me an email saying she handled the matter. She then sent me an email with what I owe her along with a venmo request for the money, but only provided 2/8 invoices. 8 invoices for eight months of unpaid bills! She told me she called Pepco, the electricity company, and had them temporarily allow me access to the account to verify information in her email. When I called, they told me her payment was still processing and that they could not verify individual months bills through their online system--they can only send out monthly invoices via USPS post with the complete information. I told her that I would pay her once I could look over all eight invoices myself. I gave her two options: 1) she could email me electronic invoices or show me the physical invoices she had received each month and I could pay her the same day, or 2) she could wait until the secondary copies of the invoices were sent by Pepco via USPS and I had received them. Pepco told me they could not see individual months, only a total amount owed, which is why the invoices had to come by post. In the past I have sent her good faith payments when she's charged me, only to find out that I was mischarged (I moved into the apartment months after she did). She has always reimbursed me when I've caught her "mistakes" but this time I'm having a hard time believing her since she told me she didn't know about the electricity bills. She also claimed that Pepco never sent her bills in the mail. I know for a fact this is a lie since I've seen bills with "FINAL NOTICE" stamped on them from Pepco in our mailbox. At the time I didn't realize that Pepco was a utility company and since the mail was not addressed to me I left her to her privacy. The next morning I woke up to a text telling me she's withdrawing the venmo request since I had refused to add my name to the electricity bill. In actuality, I did not refuse to add my name to the electricity bill, I just told her that I wouldn't add my name until my questions were answered and that I was busy the next two days with a work deadline so this matter was relativity low on my to-do list. I also had to consider whether I wanted to be legally locked into something additional knowing that she accumulated $600 in bills over the course of eight months and with her also threatening to break the lease. She told me I was responsible for the remaining 5 months of electricity for the lease. She told me that she cancelled her account and that I better sign up for an account by the end of the day. I understand that it's her account and she has the right to open and close it to her heart's content, but this is where I'd like r/legaladvice to chime in: Am I able to take her to small courts claim since she has breached our lease and thereby made my father and me liable? Our contract states: "You must not allow utilities to be disconnected during your tenancy for any reason" and "If you breach the Lease, you will be responsible for utility charges for the time period you were obliged to pay the charges under the lease, subject to our mitigation of damages. In the event you fail to timely establish utility services which are your responsibility, we may charge you for any utility service billed to us for your dwelling and may charge a reasonable administration fee for billing for the utility service in the amount of $50." Since she disconnected the electricity bill, wouldn't she have been the one to put us in breach of our contract? She's using these words exactly against me, but if she made the executive decision to cancel a utility bill which I legally had no say in, I believe I'm in the clear. Please let me know if this line of thinking is correct. I'd also like to point out that as soon as I receive the invoices, I will be sending my portion of the electricity bills directly to her bank account so she can't countersue with "she failed to pay her portion of the electric bills which is why I cancelled the account." EDIT: We're in Washington DC. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Feb 2020 12:31 PM PST So my darling wife dumped 17k of debt (that I didn't know about at all) onto a credit card in my name. I just found out about it. I need to double check but I don't believe her name is on the card. On the physical card is just my name. So my question is how did she transfer the debt, is she legally allowed to? How did she do it and is there any legal recourse? Located in Kansas [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Feb 2020 01:33 PM PST A bit of background, we had our kids hockey team staying all at the same hotel for a tournament. My son joined them in the pool, he hung out in the shallow end as he's not a strong swimmer and I sat in the hot tub, checking on him now and again. The kids were grabbing cups of water from the pool and hot tub and throwing it on each other, no big deal, until I heard a bloodcurdling scream and crying from my son, not knowing what happened I ran over to console him thinking someone tried to dunk him or maybe the hot tub water startled him as he wasn't playing the cup splashing game with the other kids. While consoling him we moved him to a quiet area near the pool and noticed a water cooler, with a instant hot water tap on it - this is what he was splashed with a cup full of this water. It appears to be 1st to 2nd degree burns. The hotel was accommodating in getting us ice to treat and the front desk clerk was at the pharmacy before i got there to get some treatment gel. We filled out an incident report and had our stay comp'd and they advised us that the manager will be calling me tomorrow. I have two areas of concern, the first of which is why is there boiling water on tap in a pool area? Makes no sense to me, so I want to make sure that I don't mess anything up in my conversation with the manager in the case that we choose to pursue legal recourse... My second area of concern is obviously around the kid that threw the water, we've had several people tell us the police should have been called because this was assault, but I think this is a bit extreme for an 8 year old kid that generally is not a bad kid but made a really stupid decision. His parents were not there and he was under the supervision of a teammates parents. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| Payroll at work got messed up, now I can't pay bills. Posted: 02 Feb 2020 07:30 AM PST Hi all. I'll try to keep this short. Located in Wisconsin. I work multiple part time jobs to pay bills while at college. At one job, we get paid bi-weekly, every other Friday (got paid on 1/31 and will be paid again on 2/14). Unfortunately, the payroll manager at my work place accidentally misattributed some hours worked and long story short, those hours will be paid on 2/14 instead of on 1/31, like they were supposed to be. Problem is, I have lots of bills coming due this week of 2/3, with rent, phone, utilities coming due on Friday 2/7. I also just paid for textbooks and tuition, so I can barely afford to pay bills as it is. With the loss of these hours until next paycheck, I'll literally not have enough money in the bank to pay bills. As it currently stands, I've been told by payroll that there's no way to expedite a paycheck for misattributed hours because we use a 3rd party system to manage paychecks. Is there any way I can force them to pay me so I don't have to so something stupid like take out a Payday loan? That seems like my only option so far. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Feb 2020 03:44 PM PST I went to go pay rent on my own As i do every month, and when i go to double check all my information was done correct, since i like to do these big transactions by hand every month, i see that it was already drafted from my bank account on January 30th I know I opted to not save payment information, because as i said before, with large transactions like this I prefer to do them manually every month. Which means I know for a fact that I never set up automatic payments, you could imagine my terror when i saw the money already taken out, and that rent was still due. I called and they said they don't see the payment, and i am still due for rent, and that it must have been something else. I go to to the leasing office and show them my bank statement, the exact amount of my rent pulled, which is unique since i have pet rent. They confirm that it shows i have not paid rent, but when looking at my bank statement it is absolutely them pulling the funds. They also looked online and confirmed i have never set up automatic payments. They basically said "idk come in monday when the manager is here" Are they screwing me over? i know its the weekend, but rent is due TODAY. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Feb 2020 03:00 AM PST So.. We live on a flag lot. Our back property line backs to a person we have never met. I woke today to a back hoe ripping apart tres and brush up to and maybe on my property line. Owner gave no notice. He later told us he was building a retaining wall, then his back hoe guy told us our mango tree on our property will likely die because it's roots will be dug up for the footing on the wall. He told us on spot we can either let it die or they can pull it now and they will take care of the tree. Do we have any recourse for the tree they killed? Also, is there an easement they have to follow for property walls? [link] [comments]  |

| My landlord texted me that i am required to keep my heat at 68 degrees Posted: 02 Feb 2020 01:23 PM PST Today my landlord texted me telling me that I am required to keep my heat at 68 degrees at all times during the winter months in my apartment in Medford MA. My apartment is normally kept around 62 degrees in the winter and the gas bill has been roughly 150 dollars. When I explained this to my landlord he stated that keeping the apartment below 68 degrees can damage the entire apartment (walls, ceiling, pipes, and wires) and that if i'm worried about my bills then I should buy thermal insulated curtains. I live in a first story apartment and this landlord lives in the apartment above us. There is no language in my lease about a minimum temperature and I've read that 55 degrees is a standard minimum temperature to prevent pipes from freezing. Can my landlord force me to do this?

| Posted: 02 Feb 2020 03:36 AM PST Hey guys, This is actually for my sister but she has no clue what to do: long story short, she worked at outback in Pennsylvania for about three months as a server. While working there, she was supposed to be getting paid $2.50 an hour but she ended up only getting paid in tips. In her own words, whatever you made that night was what you got and she never received a paycheck from them. Even during TRAINING, she never was compensated for it though she brought it up to her manager about five times. What can she do for this? She had to eventually get a new job but she wants the money she is owed (she never saw a paycheck, only the tips in the form of credit [and even those were split up between the entire restaurant]).

| Old boss saying there is a noncompete in place when there is not? Lost 2 jobs? Posted: 02 Feb 2020 02:06 PM PST Hey, hoping someone can possibly help me out in a situation I'm really just not sure how to handle. My girlfriend works as a stylist and Back in December, my girlfriend basically "rage quit" her job after her boss had changed some bookings on her without her approving of them, as well as a few other things. It basically was 2 years of bottled frustration coming to a head. She eventually ended up finding new employment at two different places, both in the same field. Back when she was still employed at the original place she had quit in december, her boss had asked her to sign a noncompete agreement, and she had refused to (this was months prior to the quitting and had nothing to do with her leaving.) Over the course of this weekend, both of the places she found employment at fired her out of the blue. The one place had a hard time coming up with a reason as to why they were terminating her, giving excuses from "you're too high energy" to saying it was about her going to her car twice to grab a pad. I didnt think much of it at the time, as I figured maybe her boss just didnt like her, as her performance didnt seem to be the issue. This firing came a day after the boss who fired her had told her she was going to make her a key to the store so she could come in early to handle some paperwork the day prior to the termination. The following day, her second place of employment did the same thing, this time not even being able to give her a reason, telling her shes great at what she does and they are really sorry, but they have to let her go. At some point, she did overhear her boss talking to another employee saying "I dont want to, but my lawyers are directing me to do it." To me, this seems that her boss from the job she had left in december is pulling some shady stuff and contacting her employeers telling them that they have a noncompete with her, when in fact they dont. If that is the case, is there anything she can do about this? Currently she doesnt really have the money to afford a lawyer, and both of her old bosses parents are lawyers. I'm just concerned that this is something that if this ends up being the case, is going to follow her job to job. This is in Florida. I appreciate any advice that can be given. [link] [comments]  |
