| Therapist told my mom something I never wanted her to know Posted: 28 Feb 2020 02:35 AM PST Yesterday I got a call from my mom who wanted to ask me a question about something. For a few months last year I used her therapist as she had wanted to pay for me to have extra therapy sessions. I told my therapist some details about something that had happened to me as a young adult which I have only mentioned in therapy until this week, when I told my boyfriend. Mom said she was having a hard time and was crying in therapy about some things she had done and not done with me, and that her (my) therapist had mentioned to her that I had been raped. This is something I never wanted my mom (or anyone, really) to know. She called me to ask what the story was and who had done it. I felt cornered and I did tell her the truth about it. My question is, can the therapist even do that? Is she allowed to tell my mom things that I say, since my mom paid for the service? Telling my boyfriend a few days ago was already difficult for me and as I mentioned I never wanted either of my parents to know this about me. I felt obligated to tell my mom because her mind was running away with her thinking it was someone she knew and she was concerned about that. I still never wanted her to know about it. Do I have any case for legal action in this? I've never once mentioned to my mom that this had happened, and now I know that soon enough my entire family will know because she has a loud mouth. I am in Indiana, USA. [link] [comments]  |
| Won in small claims court when defended didn't show up - PA Posted: 28 Feb 2020 06:58 AM PST Purchased a newly constructed house (in Philadelphia) and the basement flooded after a strong rain storm. Reached out to the builder and they wouldn't fix the problem. Decided to go forward and fix the repairs (hired a company to dig up section of basement and put in sump pump / french drain system in, total cost $5000). Filed a lawsuit to cover costs of the repairs in small claims court and won after defendant didn't even show up. The judge gave builder 30 days to pay me for the repairs but that time frame is just about up and still no word from the builder. My questions is: How do I get the builder to pay me after the 30 day time frame has expired? He is not answering phone calls or responding. It also looks like he closed down his company. I have all his information but not sure if there is a way to enforce the judges ruling for him to pay me. Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
| How do I get my 8 year old brother out of an abusive household? Posted: 28 Feb 2020 06:13 AM PST Hopefully this is place to post this but yesterday I received a call from my younger brother (8M) who informed me of what was going on in his household which includes him, my mother (44F) and her fiancé (39M) who is my brother's biological father. [Background info]: They live in Hawaii and I live in Ohio. I keep in contact with my brother frequently, the people he lives with are very toxic. They decided to move out to Hawaii in the summer of 2016 because my stepfather's brother had committed crimes back in Ohio which in return tarnished the family's name. I was lucky enough to have a different last name so when they moved I stayed here. I hated living with them. My step father was verbally abusive to me and my mother. I had always thought he was physically abusive towards her but had no evidence. He is severely controlling and manipulative person, we could not go anywhere or do anything without his consent. When my mother would go to the store, or anywhere, he would call her multiple times to make sure she was still there but of course he did more than just that but I don't think that info is necessary. INCIDENT: My brother called me yesterday while on his way home from school, he was in the car with my mother. He started out by telling me that his father is mean and swears all the time to which I replied he has always been like that. He then goes on to tell me "Dad pushes Mom and chokes her, he did it last night". My mom then intervenes and tells my brother to stay quiet. He tells her that I'm his sister and he can tell me what ever he wants to. We stay on the phone for a few more minutes but I then tell him I need to call him back because I was in the middle of writing a paper for school that was due in a few hours. (I did call him back later in the night but I did not ask him anymore questions about the incident because both my mother and father were around. I did not want to put him into a dangerous situation) My mother had thought I hung up so she proceeds to tell him to not talk about the incident he mentioned to me. My brother then tells her that he wasn't lying to which she replies she knows that he wasn't, but it's just not something he needs to talk about or tell me or any one. Once my brother looked down and realized I was on the other end still listening I immediately ended the call. My question is what do I do to get my brother out of situation? Do I call CPS? What will they do? Will they look into it because I live in different state? What will happen to my little brother if they do take him away? I'm scared that if they show up our parents will know it was me who called and force him to cut contact with me. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 11:40 PM PST Ok I don't know if this is the right sub to reach out for advice and I have no clue if anyone here can help but I thought I have nothing to lose at this point. So here goes. I told a deeply personal story on a popular storytelling podcast a few years ago. I had developed the story on my own outside of the podcast and pitched it to them after writing/performing it in a class. I was regularly performing at the time and thought it would be cool to be on this show I was a fan of. Flash forward almost 3 years and I get contacted by the podcast saying "good news! A director at Amblin wants to make a movie from your story can you give us the ok to move forward". I was really caught off guard and I wasn't super happy that the podcast was just notifying me to say they want me to just say yes to this film moving forward about a very difficult time in my life without consulting me further or me having proper info. After that I got in contact with the director on me own and really liked what he had to say and after meeting several times and giving him further information about my life/story I decided to let him move forward with the project and pitch it to different production companies and studies. Well I got an email today informing me that my film is now attached to a well known production company and that a streaming service is in the talks to buy it. He told me that his representatives are "my team is coordinating with (popular podcast name) agents and someone will be getting in touch with you as well either from my team or (popular podcast team) But I wanted you to hear the positive update from me first." I have no representation at this point and have no idea about the film industry. I want to make smart choices regarding my life rights to this story. The story is incredibly personal. Should I reach out to an entertainment lawyer or an agent? What questions should I ask? Also why does the podcast I recorded on have so much to do with this process since I wrote the story and have life rights. I can provide more information on request but would love some advice.

| Rule change in condo to kick me out Posted: 28 Feb 2020 08:23 AM PST (IL, USA) I live in a 6 family unit condo where we all collectively own 1/6th of the building, as in there is no overseeing management company or anything like that. Our condo association rules says you can have animals up to 30lbs. 2 of the 5 neighbors dislike the fact that we have a dog and have threatened to vote to make it a non pet-friendly building. If there was a majority vote the bylaws would be changed. Would there be any legal right for them to attempt to give us an ultimatum? I reviewed the bylaws and there isn't any mention of being grandfathered into new rules like that. I would appreciate any help. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 11:08 PM PST This is for my father since he doesn't use reddit and isn't sure what to do. If anyone needs more info that I can't answer I'll ask him when he wakes up. We're also in Cook County if that makes a difference. My dad won a case in mid-2019. It was decided that the defendant would have to pay around 100K (I'm not sure of the exact amount). Since then we have not seen any of the money. Our lawyer (ex-lawyer now I guess) told my dad that he'd try to collect the money so we could pay his fees (61K), but has either not tried or failed. The lawyer is now saying he will sue us for our fees and we're not sure what we can do from here since we can't afford to pay him. I'm looking for any advice here. From how to collect the money owed to how we can avoid another lawsuit. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2020 12:47 PM PST So my brother owes some money from college loans and he basically has told the college to F off. I know it's not the best route to go but he won't listen to reason. He is pretty broke, but does have his own shared apt and does lots of under the table work. Definitely not enough to pay back the loans and eat. I get letters about once a month to my address (he has never lived at) and I either give them to him when I see him at family get togethers or shred them if he asks me to. I used to send them back as a return he doesn't live here, but they ignore it. Last night a lady came asking if he lived there. Told her nope, he never has and I don't know his address (I really don't, I have a general idea but don't know it). I gave her my name and that I am related but he owes me money so I'm collecting from him before anyone else does. She seemed ok with that, left and then sometime today while at work someone stopped by and taped what look like the same paperwork she had in her hands to my door, a court summons. Is there any way I can get them to stop bothering me without giving them my brothers info? I don't like getting off the couch at 8pm or finding stuff taped to my door and my experience with my drug addict dad who shares the same name is they only get worse (finally stopped getting harassed from his debts because he's I believe in jail).

| Posted: 28 Feb 2020 02:53 AM PST I was prescribed Adderall 30mg daily for 7ish years I didn't take my medication unless needed. Ended up with a substantial number of unused pills. Dicided to stop getting refills and wanted off the meds completely ended up a few months down the road testing positive for amphetamines at work told them they were from a prescription I had, was told it didn't matter and was promptly dismissed. I feel like I might be in a gray area can anyone point me to similar cases so I can see if I might have any valid legal actions I could pursue. Thanks for your help with this. Oh forgot I pass medication at a nursing home among other things. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2020 09:46 AM PST Most of the staff have to bring lunch boxes, and now that that is banned, a lot of us are curious if this was something that isn't allowed. I live in texas and work for a big name entertainment industry, and also very curious. [link] [comments]  |
| Can my employer force me to self quarantine unpaid (New York) Posted: 28 Feb 2020 07:52 AM PST My employer is instituting self-quarantine for people who have traveled recently, even if not to an area recognized as exposed to the coronavirus. Though I have paid time off and personal days, they are refusing to allow me to use them and are instead requiring that I take unpaid time off. I am not even leaving the US. I don't think this is legal, but would like someone with more expertise in this to let me know. EDIT: I also thought to mention that there were previously two other employees who traveled to China, and they were allowed to work from home with pay. [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor with green pool generating swarms of mosquitoes Posted: 28 Feb 2020 08:37 AM PST The house right next to mine is a multi-family unit, probably owned by a company (at least that's what I could find online). They have an unused pool that is chronically dirty, generating a huge amount of mosquitoes and god knows what else. I've already contacted the city and the county, and while they did come by, they said they couldn't do anything because they weren't allowed into the property. I also tried talking to the neighbor, but they never answer the door. I'm starting to get worried about this, specially since the kids are always outside and repellent is not being effective anymore. What are my options, given that the city and county can't help? Florida [link] [comments]  |
| [DE] Roommate suicide and future rent payments already paid Posted: 28 Feb 2020 10:53 AM PST This is a real tough situation and I'm not really sure where to find the answer to this. My roommate went missing a week and some ago and ended up finding out he committed suicide, which has been really hard on us. We found out shortly after he had already made rent payment for march and april which seems he intended to look out for us to help us while we find someone as he hadn't previously done that. Now my landlord is telling me he's returning the payments he has already received and we owe that amount now the beginning of march. We are located in Delaware. Is he allowed to do that or is this something I should bring to small claims court? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2020 01:25 PM PST New York State, United States So essentially with few exceptions, every male restroom on my campus has been converted into an "All-Gender" restroom. This sort of makes sense given that they are the only existing restrooms which contain both stalls and urinals. The problem herein lies that in addition to new signs on the doors, the primary door to the restroom has been equipped with a vacancy/occupied lock which locks from the inside. Essentially allowing a single individual (if they choose) to lock a bathroom with facilities accommodating up to 8 people at one time, reducing it to a single use restroom. On numerous occasions men have had to leave lecture halls and travel to other buildings with the hope that the All-Gender restroom in that building has not been locked also. I've brought this issue to our school's department of diversity and equity where after 3 weeks of obfuscation I've managed to meet with with the department head and have a conversation with her, where I've essentially been told to shove it. Is there any sort of Federal or NYS legislation with which I can bring to their attention and try to instigate real change? Edit: In less than an hour I've found the solution I've been looking for. Thanks Reddit, you beautiful Oyster [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2020 01:19 PM PST I have been approved for VAD services in Switzerland, which will take place in May or June. Part of the requirement is that I must have someone identify me to the authorities after my death. A good friend is willing to travel with me for this task; however I am concerned, albeit weakly, that they might be investigated for "assisting a suicide" simply for traveling with me and handling admin tasks after my death. Am in the US, in MA. Could this potentially be considered "assisting" a suicide? There is no law on the books re this, recent court cases demonstrate a willingness to prosecute a manslaughter charge if the assistance "caused" the death of the suicide; for instance in the Michelle Carter case she was found guilty of manslaughter based on her language towards the suicide which was deemed threatening.

| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 04:02 PM PST A coworker asked if I could watch his place while he was out of the country. I was a little suspicious when he told me his dogs were taken care of but in the area we live, it is possible for pipes to freeze and I assumed he wanted someone there so no one would break in. He specifically asked me to stay there every night. Well, I slept there two nights ago after a long flight. But last night when I was getting ready for bed, I went to the bathroom and noticed that there was an alarm clock in the bathroom facing the toilet. Odd. So I googled the company on the front and discovered it was a hidden camera (non-streaming, just SD card). I found 3 other hidden cameras, in the other bathroom and in the bedroom. I immediately unplugged all the cameras and called the non-emergency line. The cops told me there's nothing they can do. He is allowed to put cameras wherever he wants in his residence. I tried calling the Troopers but they said that the local law enforcement was in charge of this sort of thing. I was never disclosed that there would be cameras. I found this http://www.akleg.gov/basis/statutes.asp#11.61.120 Alaska statute. Does it apply to my case? How do I make sure this creep doesn't do this to anyone else? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 11:03 PM PST I need some advice because I'm not sure how to handle this. 10yrs ago, i bought my house and I live along a street where the houses are about 3.5' apart. So for years my neighbor has been harrassing me if my rose bush crept onto his property or came over and cut them, sprayed weeds in my yard, sprayed for bees. Bent my downspouts to drain into my foundation, etc. He also had a small fence put up in the back of his yard with no outlet to the alley so he goes through my yard and down my steps in my yard. For years, ive dealt with it because I couldnt afford a fence and i believed my foundation (plus a few inches) was the property line. Well I have been doing better financially these past 2 yrs so I'm redoing my steps in the back and putting up a fence to keep them out. Finally! Low and behold, i had the surveyor come yesterday and he pinned my property. To my surprise, I notice that their sidewalk and steps all along the side of both of our houses were poured about 5 inches over my property line. Now part of me isnt an asshole where I want to fight over 5 inches. But I want to put in a fence. And I cant put my posts in because my drainage goes along the back half of the side of my foundation at the end of his steps so I need to be able to put it beyond that so I have access to the downspout and drain...and his steps are in my way. And I cant completely close off that corner of my house now. There would be a large gap. And with him kicking over my downspout and putting bricks on my drain hole, i need to keep an eye on it Also, they are older...if they fall on their steps, will I be liable now that the property is surveyed? I'm not sure how to handle this. I live in Pennsylvania [link] [comments]  |
| (Update) Dealership forged cosigner for a car. Car and owner now missing. Posted: 28 Feb 2020 05:47 AM PST (NY)Thank you to everyone who commented any sort of advice for me and my family friend . There has been some movement but overall just weird and slow going. When I posted the original, my family friend went to the police in the town the dealership was in and asked to file a police report. She bugged them over the phone for a bit but finally last week she made the trip back up there and demanded it. According to her, the cops decided not to press charges on the dealership but instead told her multiple times that they were going to let her daughter rot in jail for it (Daughter is still somewhere in Albany with the car). Family friend took the report and my mom noticed that it mentioned family friend stated she let her daughter sign her name for contracts before and the report was not officially signed by family friend. This was not what she told the cops so she is looking to get the report changed to her original statement. She said she never has let her daughter sign for her. She did give the bank that is holding the loan the copy of the report and they stated they will contact the credit reporting agencies to get it off her reports, but she still isn't 100% sure if she is free and clear. She thinks that the police station is siding with the dealership and wanting to scare family friend into dropping the charges by mentioning having her daughter "rot in jail" . She also thinks the bank will go after the dealership now that there is a police report. Sorry if this is kinda confusing. I am hearing this from my mom so there might be information family friend is withholding for the sake of privacy/embarrassment. [link] [comments]  |
| Can I share videos of theft at my store? Posted: 28 Feb 2020 04:27 AM PST Yesterday a couple stole a chain from my dad's store in Brooklyn, NY worth a few thousand. We have videos of the couple. The cops are suppose to send a detective to follow up and we have all the videos on an USB to give them. My question is can I share the video on YouTube, fb, social media, and the local news to help identify the couple? Side question: Can we start telling customers who want to see high ticket items that they need to hand us their ID and/or credit card before we pass them the items? Once they are done and return our items we give them back their ID and/or credit card. [link] [comments]  |
| Deceased sisters missing belongings. Posted: 28 Feb 2020 01:23 PM PST A little bit of a back story, my sister passed away suddenly on Feb 3rd of this year of a pulmonary embolism in Kansas City, MO. She was rushed to the hospital and passed away shortly after arriving. She was 7 months pregnant, they performed an emergency c-section and successfully delivered my nephew but unfortunately he passed away a week later due to the lack of oxygen before he was delivered. My sister has 2 daughters and neither of their fathers are in their lives. My legal question stems from the hospital saying they lost my sister's belongings including her wedding ring. We would love to recover her wedding ring to pass down to her daughters. Is there anything legally I can do to help facilitate this or make them actually just do a more thorough search for her belongings. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Landlord claims she can refuse N9 (60 day notice of termination) Posted: 28 Feb 2020 10:18 AM PST My roommates and I currently rent an apartment in Ontario and are leaving our the place at the end of April. As requested by our landlord we provided her with an N9 form on time. However, she has made this claim several times that she can refuse the N9 form of the apartment isn't in a ready to rent state, which is determined by her. We're all a little confused about this because it doesn't make sense that she could refuse the form as it's simply a notification and doesn't really have anything to do with her. The other thing we're not sure about is the ready to rent state. S.33 of the residential tenancy act (RTA) says that we're only responsible for an ordinary standard of cleanliness and I haven't been able to find anything that gives an exception for showing the rental unit to prospective tenants. I've been looking into the RTA and what's posted on the board site and can't seem to find anything that corroborate her claims. On a side note she also claimed that after we provide a notice of termination she can enter the apartment without notice which as far as I can tell s.23 (3) C) of the RTA says she's required to make reasonable efforts to inform us. If any additional information is needed for a more complete picture just lmk. [link] [comments]  |
| [NY] Friend fired without cause after going to HR about harassment. What are their options Posted: 28 Feb 2020 01:16 PM PST I'm making this post on behalf of a friend. Their boss has been making harassing comments (mostly involving his weight) and jokes about firing him for several months and he recently complained to HR about this harassment. Following the report to HR, his boss attempted to create reasons to fire him (the boss gave incorrect instructions on how to complete a task and then attempted to write him up for not following protocol, attempted to write him up for no call/no showing when he (the friend) was sick despite following the proper procedure to use a sick day) and privately admitted to the friend that he was retaliating for being reported to HR. Today he was fired and escorted from the building, the only reason given for his termination was 'a decision was made'. My friend has some audio recordings and notes of some of the incidents involving his boss. His former place of work and his current residence are both located in New York state. He was a salaried employee but AFAIK he did not have a contract saying otherwise so he was at-will. Other than filing for unemployment and looking for a new job, what should their next steps be? Would a lawsuit against their former employer for wrongful termination be worth looking into or is it unlikely to succeed? My friend believes his former boss is likely to attempt to spread rumors if a prospective employer contacts them, but he also thinks it would look bad to leave the job off his resume as he worked there for close to a year- what protections, if any does he have in this regard?

| Sold a car, buyer is refusing to pay full price despite having a signed agreement. Posted: 28 Feb 2020 10:50 AM PST A bit of a long one and my first time posting here, so please bear with me. In November of last year, I was attempting to sell an Equinox that would cost too much to repair. Originally I had just planned on having a junk guy come get it for a few hundred dollars, but after learning that there might be some worthwhile parts to salvage I posted it on Facebook Marketplace for $800. A buyer got in touch with me, saying he would interested in fixing it up and splitting the profit after he fixed/resold it. He originally claimed after reselling I could make around $1200, with the stipulation that he would pay me after it sold. He came from across the state, looked at the car, and discovered the repairs would be more expensive on his part than he originally thought. Eventually we agreed that he would pay me $1000 for the car after he fixed it up and sold it OR by the beginning of December, whichever came first. I agreed, and we drafted a simple signed document on paper. He asked if I had any way to help with towing the car back to his shop on the other side of the state, but I told him I don't have AAA and couldn't afford to help tow. He said that was fine, hired a tow himself, and we went our separate ways. Fast forward to early December, I have no word on the status or payment. I get back in touch, and he tells me he sold the car and asks for my Paypal. In mid-December he sends me $700, which is $300 less than our original agreement. Over the next month I try to get back in touch with him over phone and Facebook, asking him what's the status with the rest of the payment, what I can do to help, etc. He ghosts me, only replying once in January saying he will give me a call soon, but never does. Just the other day I tried getting in touch with him again. I'm getting pretty upset that he hasn't been in touch, so I send a message saying I will stop by at his address in person so we can talk this out. This finally provokes him to reply, saying: "So first of all you had it listed for $800. I was trying to help you out by offering more. I told you that number might change if I had to fix other things which was the case. On top of that You were supposed to split the tow bill with me which was also part of that. After all was said and done I made less than 500. You were a couple days away from scrapping it which would have only paid you $300. So do what you feel you have to but dont contact me or my wife again. If you show up at my house I'm going to take that as a threat and handle it accordingly!" He has completely blocked communication with me and I don't know what to do. Does the signed document hold up enough to pursue action? Is it worth it for the additional $300? I mostly just want to scare him and have him pay the rest of the agreed amount. TL;DR: Buyer still owes me $300 per signed agreement, but is refusing to pay and has blocked me from further contact.
