| I found explicit videos and pictures in my child's phone Posted: 02 May 2020 12:17 AM PDT My ex and I share custody of our daughter (age 6). When I picked her up today, she brought her phone that usually stays at her dad's house. She was showing me pictures she took, and as I was scrolling I found dozens of nude pictures and videos of men mastubating in her cloud. These pictures have been uploaded for the last 6 months at least, and she has had access to them. If what I think is the case is true, then it seems like her grandfather has a dirty little secret, and because her phone is logged into the same account as his is their pictures sync to the same cloud. If this is true he probably has no clue that he has basically been giving her access to this stuff. However, like I said she has had access to these things for the last 6 months at least which is unacceptable and extremely worrisome. What should I do? Is there any legal action I should take? She was extremely upset when I found them and tried to hide them. She also lied about not recognizing one of the men in the pictures. It is actually someone she knows very well. I am planning on trying to find a therapist maybe to talk to her about what all she may have seen, but I'm really at a loss right now. It's 2 am, and I don't know what to do. Also in Louisiana if that makes a difference. [link] [comments]  |
| Breeder is demanding dog be returned Posted: 02 May 2020 10:19 AM PDT Hello, any advice is greatly appreciated. I recently adopted a 2 year old corgi out of a really bad home (I have a post explaining the details if your curious but they don't really change this situation) and have had for about 2 weeks now. The dog is not currently neutered and we made with clear to the previous owners that we intended to get him neutered as we don't want to breed him. They were okay with this. Yesterday we got a voicemail from a woman claiming to be his original breeder and although she agreed to let him be sold to us she only just found out that we intended to neuter him and she wanted us to return the dog to her immediately as he sales contract stated that she could repossess the dog for any reason. (For reference, I live in Michigan, the dog was adopted in Indiana and the breeder is in Pennsylvania) I'm at a loss, I payed for this dog, have bonded with this dog, me and my family love this dog, and we took him out of a very abusive home. I have no intention of returning him if I can do anything about it. I've spent a little bit of time online looking into this and their are very conflicting reports on the legality of this request, on one hand I don't have a contract with this person, I never signed anything with them, and my purchase was made legally with her permission and I have a receipt signed by his previous owners, his pet ID chip was transferred to me, as well as his AKC registration, and he has vet records with me for a cough. But I'm not sure how this plays in with the contract she had with the previous owners. I also have pause because he doesn't have any previous vet records (his owners were Amish) and I haven't been able to get him his rabbies vaccine due to the lockdown and So I can't get him registered yet. I don't want to surrender this dog, I want to do anything I can to keep him, does this person have any legal ground to stand on with this request? If they do how do I fight it? I'm sorry if this is rambling at all, or if I left anything out, if you have any questions I'm happy to answer them. I haven't called them back yet either. Any help is greatly appreciated. Edit/update: With the advice I've been given here and the urging of my fiance I've reached out to a lawyer I've used before even though this isn't his area of expertise, he as happy to go back on retainer with me and gave me this advice 1. Contact her via the email she provided in the voicemail, let her know that I won't be returning the dog, her grievance is with the family we purchased him from, not me. 2. Offer proof a good home environment and pet care, as well as proof (photos and video) of the abuse he was suffering under his old home. 3. Instruct her that any further communication should go through him (the lawyer) and not to contact me directly again. He advised me that she could file a claim but it likely won't go anywhere and although he's never handled a case like this before he has colleagues who have and I shouldn't stress to much. But it is imperative as soon as the lockdown is lifted I need to get him vaccinated and registered to me in Michigan. Thank you everyone who commented with advice, your help is greatly appreciated [link] [comments]  |
| Police walk into my house without my family’s permission for “Training Purposes” Posted: 02 May 2020 08:47 AM PDT So my father had cancer for over two years and my family was prepared for his day to pass. We were in contact with the hospital and had a plan for what we would do when that time came, which was to call a branch of the hospital and they would take care of the rest. The day came and we did the correct steps, and a nurse came to do paperwork and make sure everything is official before the body was transported.As she is at our house doing paperwork sorting things out with the funeral home, my sister hears something outside and before she can even touch the door handle, a police officer, a fireman, and another man with a computer, opens the door and just walks in without asking permission. I see them walk in and assume the nurse called them for help with something, so I don't think anything of it as does the rest of my family. None of the 3 men are wearing any sort of face mask and demands to see the body. My mother takes them to him and they talk for a bit and he says they were there for training and it is standard protocol, then the men leave. After they left, the nurse told us that she has never had the police come when she has been working before. Also the people at the hospital specifically told us not to call the police when we were planning for his passing. Just thought it was odd how they walked in without permission, someone who deals with situations for a living had never seen public servants come. I feel my family's rights were ignored. Also with the COVID-19 going around they came into my house without any sort of precious face mask or gloves. Can anyone tell me if what they did was lawful or not? I live in Van Alstyne, TX, 75495 a city 2 counties north of Dallas [link] [comments]  |
| Being prosecuted/sued for not reporting a crime I was a victim of? Posted: 02 May 2020 11:38 AM PDT I (34 M) ran away from home when I was 16, to escape serious abuse from my parents, mostly my father. My father isn't a good person. He was very abusive to me and my mom. He is also a crook, the kind that cheats, steals from vulnerable people, doesn't pay his taxes and so on. I haven't had any contact with my father from the day I left home. I never reported the abuse to the police, I only told a few people at the time and I'm not sure they believed my anyway. My mother died shortly after I left, and my father married twice more, he has kids with both his second and third wives. I don't know the wives or their kids at all, not even their names. I heard through a relative that my father was arrested two or so weeks ago, I didn't know the charges against him. This was to be expected one day or another so I didn't give it any further thought. Three days ago though I was called by a very aggressive woman who claims to be his current wife. She was (understandably) upset that he was arrested. She accuses him of abusing their kids. The woman also told me that he stole from her, talked some relatives into investing in shady schemes of his then kept the money and a variety of other accusations. I don't know which of these crimes he's been arrested for. The woman who called was very angry. She says that I enabled my father by not reporting the abuse I went through. I have no idea who told her my father abused me. She said I knew how he was and didn't tell anyone and because of that he was free to marry her, abuse her and their kids and steal from her family. She said that she reported me to the police for knowingly enabling a criminal. She also said that she would take me to court for the money she lost, her and her kids suffering, everything. She said all I had to do was denounce him and not doing so is a serious crime and I'm going to pay for it because I knew. I didn't think she was serious but yesterday I had a missed call from the police department of the city where my father lives. They say I need to call them back and it's about him. It seems she made good on her threat and told the police about me so now I'm very worried. I didn't know one could get in trouble for not reporting abuse. Should I call them back or is there a risk for me? And what can this woman sue me for exactly? Is there anything I should do about it? [link] [comments]  |
| My Mom legally kidnapped my son 2 years ago.. im still fighting. Posted: 01 May 2020 07:36 PM PDT Somebody suggested this post would do well over here and possibly get some relevant much needed advice.. this is a bender. But here we go. My mother stole my baby.. its 2 years later and im still fighting. Ok, so this is a bit long.. and I'm going to change the names around for the sake of anonymity. Please be kind, this has been my life for the past 2 years and theres no end in sight. Im at a loss. I guess i just want some reassurance or something to make me feel a little better. I want to start by saying i am a young mom. I gave birth to my son in October of 2017. My son will be turning 3 this October. I was 22 when i gave birth, and it was the most incredible thing that has ever happened to me. I wanted that little boy and i wanted to be a mother like nothing else..my ex and i love that child and were ready to be parents even if we were young. I was an incredibly difficult kid growing up, i had a bunch of abandonment issues, early teens were filled with psyche hospitals and drug abuse. I ended up with a nasty diagnosis of bipolar. You name it, I probably put my parents through it. I never got arrested or in trouble with the law, but i sure did give my mom and step dad a helluva time. Mom took me from my real dad and never let me see him. I attribute a lot of my past issues to that traumatic separation. She took me from him when i was 7 and we werent allowed to see each other again until i was 19. He lived in a different country so it wasnt as simple as sneak out to go see each other. Visas and passports were needed. Fast forward a few years, i attended therapy for years, no longer need medications, am thriving, supporting myself, stable and maintaining a full time career. I am genuinely doing well and happy. I should point out that my last doctor told me that my diagnosis did not apply and was wrongfully placed. Ive reached a point in my life where i am PROUD and HAPPY of who i became.. My son was born and i was ready to be who he needed me to be. My mom disagreed. My child's father and i were on good terms but decided we were better off friends, then lovers. We weren't married but maintained a healthy friendship and were co parenting our son. The second we split my mother filled for custody. She was able to remove my son from my home as soon as i was served on the order of an "emergency temporary custody" order. She achieved this by saying i was an alcoholic who was neglecting my son, mentally unstable and using heroin. The lies were absurd, but severe enough that my son was able to be removed from my care without question. Cps investigations were conducted and all of the allegations were unfounded. Pediatricians medical reports also showed nothing but a loved baby boy. The neglect portion of the case was put away and instead is now being tried as a full blown custody hearing based on my bipolar diagnosis and past hospitalizations. My child's father and i have been fighting to regain custody. I have a legal aid, and my child father signed a settlement so he didn't have to keep coming to court because it was interfering with his job. He gave up. I am still fighting, i have done hair follicle tests and urinalysis drug tests and all come up clean except for my medicinal marijuana. Which again i have a script for and the court is fully aware of. The court house referee even ruled that this situation was absurd and said that my mom couldn't do this. So mom and her attorney took this to an actual judge at family court. So much bs has happened since this all began that i feel like it will never end.. my son has now been living most of his life with my mother, and based on that fact alone im worried i will lose custody permanently.. this past easter for my scheduled visit i went to see my son, and my mother called the police claiming that me and my current boyfriend assaulted her.. the courts granted her a restraining order. My visitation has been reduced from 5x a week to 1x a week supervised. I feel like im fighting a losing battle..i have taken parenting courses, kept a steady job and steady income, have a beautiful apartment that is baby proofed and has a room set up for my son with everything he could ever need. I dont know what to do anymore, my mom is fighting against me claiming that i am mentally unstable and unable to care for my son... mental health stigma at its finest, considering my diagnosis had been dropped. Courts wont preform any kind of psyche evaluation on me even though i have requested it many times. Someone please tell me ways i can help the situation.. up until last month my two year old boy was calling grandma "Mom" and she was ALLOWING it. I dont want to dwell into the years of mental and physical abuse that woman put me through on here but even in court, it seems none of those things matter. I did take the day and did reach out to some private attorneys.. I have been estimated at upwards of 35k because the amount of time that has already passed in this trial and how much effort it would tale for an attorney to review and amend the situation. This is not money i have, i feel as if my legal aid failed me, and my lack of knowledge on the court system really screwed me. I have a steady job, but do not have the best credit for a loan nor do i have that kind of money laying around..I feel defeated.. Someone PLEASE HELP [link] [comments]  |
| Estranged Husband Overdosed After Our last Court Date, Being Sued for Wrongful Death IL Posted: 02 May 2020 10:24 AM PDT This is as convoluted and embarrassing as the title suggests. I'll try to be concise: 5/14/19 - left husband after six years of documented physical abuse (time/date stamped screenshots, photos and police reports, copies of which I still posses) 5/21/19 - Was granted No Contact Order pending disposition of felony domestic battery complaint 9/13/20 - Petitioned for divorce. This case was continued pending disposition of criminal matter 2/19/20 - Criminal matter was set for trial in April. Later that day, husband takes fatal dose of fentanyl in what is ruled an accidental overdose 3/8/20 - Divorce case is dismissed Certificate of Death is attached to my petition (as opposed to his counter-suit. Not sure if this is germane) This Morning: Was served a summons to appear in the wrongful death suit his sister has filed against me. She is seeking $175k in damages, which is coincidentally the amount of debt for which I would have been liable had he won the divorce. She alleges that I fabricated the abuse for the sole purpose of inflicting emotional harm and with the express intent of causing his relapse and suicide. Obviously this is all BS. Obviously I will respond. I have a stack of documentation almost two inches thick in my file cabinet, as well as digital copies. MRIs and CAT scans of a fractured orbital socket. Discharge paperwork and photographs of 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Emails and text messages in which he threatens to hurt or kill me. Photos of ligature marks across my neck. My question to you guys: how on earth do I go about finding an attorney to represent me and how expensive is this going to be (vague ballpark, not actuals or anything close). I guess I am trying to figure out how tightly I need to gird my loins for the shit storm ahead. I literally just pulled myself out of the giant hole that I had to dig to get away from him safely and to get the mental health support I needed. I'm panicking that I will not be able to scrape together enough for a retainer and I'm going to have to fight this pro se. EDIT: This is in Cook Co, IL [link] [comments]  |
| HELP. Dealership screwed me over with registration process. Posted: 02 May 2020 10:33 AM PDT I bought my first car in September 2018 from a dealership in San Diego. The sales rep was clearly desperate to get it off the lot; they'd claimed that it was because the car was a 2015 used model but they failed to mention that there would be registration issues, which I'm sure is why people were hesitant to buy this convertible mustang in Southern California for a bargain. They told me I'd be getting my license plates, title and registration in the mail within two weeks. It's been 2 years. Every time I go in to check in with them they send me away with "temp paperwork" to show to the police instead of registration. It's worked fine so far but I recently lent a friend my car while I'm out of the country. He got stopped by the police and now my car's been impounded because, according to SDPD, the car hasn't been registered since 2016! They claim it may be because of smog issues (with a 2015 mustang??). I won't be back in San Diego (or the US) for an indeterminate amount of time. SDPD told my friend that we'd have to run the vin number on the dmv website, pay backed up fees, get my friend power of attorney to take the car for a day, make sure it passes smog tests, test it at the dmv, and only after that can I get the car back. We ran the vin and it turned out the car had passed all smog tests, and the only problem is that it hasn't been registered since 2016. Does anybody have any advice on what I should do? Do I have grounds for a lawsuit against the dealership? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 07:54 AM PDT Hi everybody. I hope you and your families are hanging in there. As the title mentions, I work for a restaurant in Montreal that is apart of a chain. We have been out of work since the middle of March but receiving full pay with the expectation of being on a few conference calls a week and heading into the restaurant for maintenance. As of now we are being downgraded in pay to 75% of our salary. To go along with this, we are now being expected to transition to takeout and delivery. Instead of my usual job where I would work 40 hours and make X, now I am expected to work 30 hours and make (X - 25%). My store is staying closed but the store I am to help out in is going to make my commute 10 times longer, no exaggerating. Here's where things get uncomfortable. I have been given 3 forms: One form is our hygiene and cleanliness policy in these Corona times. One is a sign off saying that I understand that policy and that not following it could seriously hurt someone (paraphrased). The third form, again paraphrased, states that I am voluntarily agreeing to return to work and that I feel it is safe enough. I pressed for info on how this was volunteering, and it was explained to me that it's technically not volunteering. Since there is work I have to do it, if not then I go on unemployment. (55% of salary.) The job description has also changed significantly. We will be expected to wear ventilated masks at all times, we may not be 2 meters next to each other, etc. The hygiene policy is insane and at the end of the day for it to work perfectly, I have to trust everyone else. I can't say I do. My team is pretty good but we will be working with managers from other locations. I also live in an apartment building which is 90% elderly people. There has been no contract amendment at all with our jobs so that is a massive question. There is obviously no pandemic clause or lay off clause in our contracts. Are we not entitled to the agreed upon salaries that are in there? I and the rest of my management team just want to make sure we are not being fucked around here because transparency is not one of the strengths of this company. We didn't have the answers ourselves so I said I would try and find some info and thought about /r/legaladvice. At the end of the day none of us feel like you can really guarantee anyone's safety. A few of us live with their parents or children. If we do not "volunteer" to return then we will be on unemployment with a black mark on us if we ever returned, preventing any and all lateral progression through the company. I just want to know if the company is fucking around me. Thanks to anyone that read this far. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. [link] [comments]  |
| Mentally Ill Mother keeps calling the police to do wellness checks on me Posted: 01 May 2020 04:04 PM PDT Hello, Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. My mentally ill mother (53) lives in Illinois and has decided she is going to call the local police department on me for wellness checks numerous times a day. I am 30 years old and live in New Orleans. The police have shown up at my house on five separate occasions in the span of four days.I have begged and pleaded with her to stop and she won't let up. I asked the police if there is anything I can do and they said they have to respond to the call every single time. Any advice is greatly appreciated, she is making my life a living hell.

| My Paternal Grandparents Died and my Aunt is Hiding Things Posted: 02 May 2020 09:01 AM PDT Jeeze, I don't even know where to begin, so here goes: My dad's dad died a few years ago. When he was in the process of moving out of his old house, my dad went to retrieve some of his tools from their shared workspace. My paternal grandmother (divorced from my grandfather for 40 years at this point) accused my dad of trying to steal from my grandfather. My aunt used this to get my grandfather to re-name her executor of the will. So my grandfather dwindles and dies. When he does, my family hears nothing of a will (he was probably worth $1m+), but we're all fairly successful on our own, so we just kind of took at as the tax of being able to write off my grandmother and aunt. Cut to yesterday. My brother and I have been trying to get ahold of my grandmother for the past couple months to check up on her. We couldn't reach her, so my brother reached out to my Aunt. As it turns out, my grandmother passed away sometime in February, and my aunt told nobody, including my dad. Obviously this is all incredibly suspicious, and frankly at this point I'd like to take legal action to make sure my aunt didn't fleece our family entirely (I know my grandpa willed a couple pure gold watches to me and my brother, which are probably worth at least 5k each). What legal recourse might I have here? How would I go about getting ahold of their respective wills? All parties involved are in WA state, if that makes a difference. [link] [comments]  |
| Property damaged during neighbors patio construction Posted: 02 May 2020 07:47 AM PDT This happened in North Carolina. Our neighbor was having a concrete patio poured. The company performing the work utilized a Bobcat to excavate and subsequently dumped all of the dirt on to a wooded corner of our lot. They did not put any plywood down to protect the ground, so the Bobcat tracks also tore up all vegetation and bushes. Most significantly, I believe, is the Bobcat damaged multiple trees (varying degrees of damage) and completely pushed over a ~20 foot cedar to get back where they wanted to dump the dirt. We didn't notice this until the afternoon and informed our neighbor (who said they were unaware) and the workers the dirt was dumped on our property. They were apologetic and managed to move a decent portion of the dirt over to the neighbors lot but the rest of the damage obviously remains. I subsequently discussed the issue with the owner of the company who did admit fault and apologize (in email) but when fixing the issue or compensation was brought up he was uncooperative. He stated he was a contractor working for my neighbor, so I would have to sue the neighbor to have it fixed as the liability rested with them. I mentioned I believed I was in my right to request it be returned to how it was, including replacing trees but I was willing to work with him. He said the extent of what he was willing to do was plant 2 bushes, remove the fallen tree and put mulch or other ground cover down to cover the mud. Not replace any trees, not remove the rest of the dirt, etc. I have multiple pictures of the damaged area, including tracks from the work area to where the dirt was dumped and of all damage done. I also have "before" pictures, including as recently as Easter, of the area which may be significant because the owner made a comment about the large tree already being down according to "his guys" (the Easter picture and earlier ones disprove this). The lot corner is also very visible, as I have multiple florescent ribbon tied up a tree at the corner, and when we first noticed the issue a worker stated something along the lines of "Oh man, I think it is their property". I also have his email apologizing for the "misunderstanding" and asking what to do to make it right, which he was subsequently uncooperative on. Is the company owner right that the liability rest on our neighbor? What are my rights to repair the damage and is small claims my best or only route? Is a police report to document the trespassing and damage appropriate? In case it matters, this company is a franchise of a nationwide company. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it legal to record your employee's audio when you tell them that you're not. Posted: 02 May 2020 02:08 PM PDT For starters, I'm aware that your employer has the right to listen and watch their employees via cameras and microphones when they're at work. Where I work, we were told that we were being watched on the cameras, which fine, that's pretty standard. The thing is though, they told us that the cameras did not pick up audio. I found out today, that they do indeed pick up audio. Basically, my employer lied and said that audio can't be heard when it can, and I'm pretty angry about it. Some employees here have gotten to know eachother and have told eachother things in confidence believing that they weren't being heard. The company is run by one big family that loves to gossip as well. To me it feels like blatantly lying to your employees about the extent of surveillance has crossed a line in some way. I live in Iowa, for reference. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| My parents are dead. What do I need to do? (NY) Posted: 01 May 2020 03:19 PM PDT My parents were in a car accident a few days ago, and neither made it. For covid reasons, funeral-type stuff is on hold, but what legally do I need to do? I'm 24 and my siblings are both 18, so there are no minors here, but I don't have any older relatives who would help with anything. My parents are fairly well off, so they have presumably all the normal stuff you'd expect? Probably retirement accounts, investment accounts, college accounts for my siblings, etc. I have no idea where that info would be, though. I don't know of any will or who would have it. Do I need to do something with that? Presumably somehow my siblings and I need to deal with it eventually? I have no idea even how we would find their accounts other than maybe paperwork in their safe, which we don't have the combination to. Is there something else that needs to happen? Do I need to tell the government or has that been dealt with? Location: they live in Westchester, NY, although they were in PA when this happened. [link] [comments]  |
| Roofer sending harassing texts and showing up Posted: 02 May 2020 01:56 PM PDT I will preface this by saying there is a lawyer involved but I want to ensure everything is right. My parents hired a roofer in June 2018 to re do the roof due to hurricane damage in Florida. Unfortunately they're not well versed in internet reviews and just went on a recommendation from a family member. Neither here nor there, but he wasnt very fast for lack of better words. For months he did not do anything which we empathized and understood to be a very busy market post hurricane and a shortage of tile according to him (made sense to us) Nothing really happens for months but finally the old tiles removed and tarp put on the house many months later. The tile is on backorder until February. Finally in February 2019 an employee of the roofer reaches out and asks my dad to pick a color, which had been done months prior. Come to find out the "backorder" tiles were never ordered, and my parents furious. Luckily a similar color is available and its delivered and piled onto the roof. Months go by and nothing to the point of HOA constantly asking when this will be done. The roofer is completely unresponsive going back to around February and it's now August 2019. I reach him from a work phone whereas he was unreachable if called by my fathers number. It's now October 2019 and a massive hurricane is coming and we are very worried and the neighbors are becoming very unnerved with the prospect of loose tile on the roof adjacent to their homes. No one is able to do anything until finally my dad finds a lawyer that terminates the contract, sends the roofer whatever legal Docs required and my dad is now free to find a new roofer. My dad gets his money back by a dispute made with the credit card he paid on and hires a new roofer to do the roof which does a great job. The man claims my dad is a thief not only from him but from the tile company. The tile company basically said they couldnt take payment it was written off. It is what it is according to them. My dad realizing that the tile had been paid for by the roofer but that the funds were refunded to him reaches out to the tile company wanting to pay them but they explain that they hadn't received payment from the roofer and the tile was written off (it had been almost a year at that point) Now the roofer occassionally texts him and showed up to the house today yelling and screaming threatening no one gets away with stealing from him (unfortunately my parents werent quick and smart enough to snap a photo or anything for proof but they have texts). The man also put a lien on the house months back but since covid19 it seems hes been texting more and of course showed up today. Tl:dr parents hired bad roofer, roofer took forever to do anything and had to lawyer up and terminate contract while job was partially done. Got their money back and got new roofer who completed job. Previous roofer is pissed, put lien on house and continues to send threatening texts and showing up at the house. [link] [comments]  |
| my family are nudist can we be charged for possessing child pornography Posted: 02 May 2020 02:35 AM PDT Me and my wife just learned that she's pregnant a few weeks ago and we want to know if we go to a nudist beach and take vacation pictures with our child if we could be charged with possessing child pornography? I grew up in a naked house hold only wearing clothes when we went out or were expecting company and wouldn't normally find any of this distressing. However, my wife didn't and she brought this up to me as we frequent nude beaches when we can. My family and I did the same thing but were never charged with anything but I have to be sure. I must clarify I told her about me being a nudist for several years before we married, she's a nudist now, and we're discussing raising our child as such. [link] [comments]  |
| Currently in a dog incident dispute with my neighbor Posted: 02 May 2020 06:51 AM PDT So we got a puppy three weeks ago, and everything was going fine until yesterday (we are in New Jersey, btw). My wife took her for a walk around the neighborhood, and she came across a pit bull that also lives in the neighborhood. They had met before. The dogs were socializing, and at one point, my puppy was jumping around/on the pit bull's back. The pit bull turned around and grabbed my puppy by her head. My wife and the other owner struggled to get the dog off of my puppy. The owner ran to her house and got a packet of dog clotting powder, which we took as a sign that they have encountered this problem before. We also found out that this was a rescue dog that was severely abused previously. The owner was in tears and told me and my father in law that they would pay for this. That we could get either a check or venmo. We rushed our puppy to the vet and after about 5 hours of waiting, the vet had to stitch a few puncture wounds and extract a tooth. The bill was a little over 1k. I expect it to be more with follow up visits. We told the owners this and now they are claiming that it is our dog's fault for jumping on their dog. We, however, disagree. They knew of this dog's history and were negligent in making sure it was safe in the community. I've tried looking into NJ laws, but I can't find anything about dog incidents. I don't know how court would look right now given the coronavirus. I'm considering calling animal control, but I fear that would piss off the other owners and leave us with nothing. Who is at fault here? Any insight is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Is my brother technically committing assault by holding a knife every time he argues with me? Posted: 01 May 2020 10:38 PM PDT I suppose I'll give very light background on this. (Cincinnati, OH) My brother (26) is a judgemental, bigot asshole who has lived with my mom his whole life and has some sort of disability (aspergers, ODD, extreme superiority complex, he has negative amounts of common sense and logic and rational, autism maybe) and he has extreme OCD. He is brilliant with politics and economics and took more AP classes in higschool than allowed but had a mental break during his junior year and has never been the same. I (male 31) have stayed at my mom's house for several months in 2016 and currently. Each time my brother and I have gotten in several arguments. He holds an extremely sharp pairing knife during each one. If my mom witnesses it she asks him why he has a knife and he says its to protect himself if anything happens. She calls him crazy and says she hopes he goes to jail one day and walks away. This has happened several times and he's 'joked' on multiple occassions that he will "stab me in the head, but it's ok because I won't go deep enough to hit your brain." He does this while laughing like the devil and then when we tell him he is insane he can't believe we thought he was serious and plays it off like we are the bad guys for ganging up on him for his "joke." At this point, the cumulative events make me scared of him. I've been scared of him for 6-7 years and I am significantly bigger than him. My mom has said on multiple occasions: "I hate to say it, but my own son creeps me out. I'm scared he will come into my room one night and kill me." This was a probably four years ago and then about one year ago. Sorry for all the details, but there is just so much backstory that this is the TL:DR to an extreme. I ask this question because my parents are too cowardly to approach him and force him to get help. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do if he grabs a knife again. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 10:44 AM PDT I live in the UK and have been looking around at houses in my area for the last year or so, and have recently found one that I absolutely adore, for just under my budget price. I went ahead and bought it and will be paying the mortgage for 20 years. I decided to quarantine with my boyfriend in his flat (which his parents own) and move into the house when everything has settled down. I make enough and am willing to pay 100% of the monthly mortgage payments, however my boyfriend has expressed interest on me also putting his name on the papers for the house.... I really do not want to do this. The downpayment put on the house was 100% my money and it has taken me my whole life to save and due to being in a previous abusive relationship, having a home of my own that is 100% mine and cannot be taken off me (bar me not keeping up with repayments) is very important to me. I have offered my boyfriend to move in with me if he so wishes, but have said that he will have to pay rent. I'm not currently paying rent at his flat but only because the house is already owned by his parents and despite me offering several times (and even sending him money), his parent's won't accept payment for me living there. He says he doesn't want to pay rent as he will be helping me add equity to my house and will be getting nothing back for it which I understand, but this is MY house which I have scrimped and saved for for years and years and I don't want him to take half of my house should we ever break up in the future. I think offering him a low rent at half of what he would be paying if he rented a house of this size in the area that it is located is reasonable. How can I keep ownership of my house no matter what happens? Thank you in advance [link] [comments]  |
| Legal documents of adult children for a background check? Posted: 02 May 2020 08:46 AM PDT My MIL is requesting my wife give her a copy of her birth certificate and passport. When I was asked if she should proceed, I asked why this information is needed. The response my MIL gave my wife was that she needs it for a job she is applying for in the US Government. We have no proof and I don't really trust her word to be frank. I suspect that my MIL is requesting the documents are for something else. Does this sound legitimate for a background check for a job within the US Gov? (We are in NY). PS - I spoke to my accountant about this while working on my taxes and was told that he doesn't know why these documents would be needed for her adult children. So for now I suggested my wife doesn't send anything as it sounds fishy to me. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 10:17 AM PDT To make a long story short, my mother ordered clothes and they were sent to the wrong house. The person in that house took said clothes and refuses to even acknowledge it. This package has her personal info in it. My mother has already made a police report, but the police said to take it to the post office itself as they have their own policing force that can make the proper arrest. The post office sent someone to try and pick the package up to simply end the quarrel, but the person slammed the door on them once they showed her the footage of her stealing the package. As of now, the post office has been of no help since, as the lines have been ridiculously long making it hard to actually see anybody. Along with that, the supervisor has been constantly flaking out and leaving before my mother can talk to him. What do we do now? (TEXAS, U.S.) [link] [comments]  |

| The tenant will not leave after the end of lease Posted: 02 May 2020 01:24 PM PDT I own a house in Portland, OR. I have a 4-bedroom house and have been renting out 3/4 rooms to help me pay for my mortgage. I have had some really good tenants over the past 3 years. Currently, I have a girl who I really like renting out two of my rooms since she uses one room for private business (dog training). I have another girl who has been living in my master bedroom since about June of last year. I stupidly didn't have either sign a lease when they moved in. All communication has been through facebook messenger. I advertised the rooms as month-to-month. About 2 months ago, the girl renting my master bedroom got custody of her 2 year old. He started living here full-time without any communication from her. Then last month, the father of her child showed up and started living on my couch. He would be sleeping there when I left for work at 730am and would still be there sleeping when I would return around 630pm. I include utilities in the agreement so as you can imagine, having two additional people here costs me a significant amount of money, e.g., water has always averaged $350 but was almost $600 when I got the bill last week. Anyways, my tenants get into verbal fights often which results in screaming and f-words. The one renting the master also fights regularly with her 'baby-daddy' often. About 45 days ago they got in such a loud fight, I told her I didn't want him on my property again and I informed her I would be ending her month to month lease at the end of April. This took place 2-days before the Portland memorandum stating no evictions based on non-payment. Now, I don't care about payment. On May 1st she was supposed to be out and I had another tenant lined up to move in. The new tenant signed an official lease with me. Well, on the last day of April, this girl said she would not be moving. She had 45 days to communicate with me. She said she doesn't have money and would be homeless with a 2-year old. She used to work at a hotel in town but quit her job about 4 months ago to pursue a career as a 'sugar baby'. She shared that she would receive $400 weekly from a wealthy man in Seattle as long as she visited him every other week (on his dollar). She has made a statement that she doesn't want to work and wants someone else to provide for her. They apparently got in disagreement while they were on a road trip to Idaho, and he left her there. She made her way back to Portland and hasn't been working since. So - since my new tenant moved in, I had to move my bed and all my stuff to my living room to set up a makeshift bedroom. I have a 2-year old and I'm concerned for our safety not having walls or a door to protect us. I'm concerned that the father of her baby is going to come at any time. And she wont give a timeline on when she will be leaving. What can I do? I told her she needs to vacate the master bedroom so I can move into it. She refuses. I'm assuming I can't lock the main door while she's out. The police said it's a civil matter that needs to be addressed in civil court, but that's closed for the foreseeable future due to the pandemic. Her staying compromises the lease my new tenant signed which states who is currently living in the house. The new tenant and the one I really like (who rents two rooms) are both on the verge of just moving out because it's an unsafe and uncomfortable situation. This would cost me $1675 in rent per month PLUS the one who wont leave wont pay which is another $675. I don't know what to do. Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 10:35 AM PDT I purchased a phone from them on 10/28/2018 and ended up returning it about 4 months later. It was past their normal return policy time but through an extremely lengthy process with customer service. We were able to prove that the phone could not consistently provide service. AKA it was broken and it wasn't my doing. It took me so long to return the phone because they kept telling me to try so many things, and blamed anything from the building I was in to the weather outside... Anyways, I've gotten to the point that I'm leaving Verizon once and for all. So I need to button some things up for good. My account says that I still owe $75 on said phone and they already charged me $225, and still continue to charge me every month. I've been there to settle this over and over and I've gotten nowhere. Please give me something to try next, I'm tired of being fucked by these big companies. Let me know if you have any questions of course. I am located in Michigan. Thank you for your time!

| Posted: 02 May 2020 01:13 PM PDT edit: yep I've been scammed. Do I have any legal recourse or way to get my money back? let me know if this isn't the right sub for this.I applied for a job as a personal assistant and I'm now worried I'm involved in some sort of illegal activity/scheme. (Throw away account for obvious reasons) Background: I'm a 21 yo college student whose stuck at home due to c19. I got a notification through my universitys job posting site that there was a job for a personal assistant available. I've worked as an office assistant before so I applied, thinking it would be nice to get some income. I got the job but now I'm a little concerned that my employer may be scamming either myself or someone else. Here are the small things that I found suspicious:
here is the main thing that I'm worried about: she says that she donates about 1.5k to local foster care organizations a month. This month she tells me I'll take care of it and sends me a check for 1750 (my salary + the donation money). This was weird to me but whatever, her check cleared without issue. She then says that she's been in contact with Organization (which is a real foster care organization) and they need to buy clothes for the kids or whatever. She says that the best thing to do would be to put the money on Nordstrom gift cards and then send the gift card codes to Foster Worker. (Foster care workers name is not on the website but it's a larger organization so I don't find that worrying). I then do this, emailing the codes to the foster care worker. All of this was yesterday. All of this seemed weird to me but I didn't really become incredibly suspicious until today When I received a text from her which read "I need you to purchase a $20 cashier check payable to me from your bank". this sounds incredibly suspect to me and I haven't yet replied. Am I part of a scam or other under the table activity? What should I do? for context, I live in Kentucky and my boss (and the foster care org) are both located in Ohio. [link] [comments]  |
