| Posted: 08 May 2020 07:50 PM PDT [NJ]The reason I ask this…when I don't answer my moms texts she comes to my house and pounds on the doors. She threatened to bring me to a mental hospital if I don't sign papers saying I'll see a therapist. Why does she pound on the door if I don't answer her texts? Because she thinks I committed suicide. Why does she believe that? Because I left my grill on in my tent and got carbon monoxide poisoning. Mom thinks it was an attempt, it was really an accident. She says if I don't sign papers to see a therapist they will go to court to make them my guardians (claiming I'm unstable even though I'm not) I won't be able to decide not to go to a mental facility. They would call an ambulance and have me sent against my choice. Three big guys tying me to a straight jacket in an ambulance. I'm wondering if I were to move out of my parents house could they send the police to force me into a mental ward after they sign papers in court claiming I'm unstable and unable to make decisions for myself? I know my parents enough to see that they can't stand the idea of me exercising independence and making an important decision for myself. I'm not unstable. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 May 2020 10:19 AM PDT We are in Riverside County, California. I posted in the relationships thread and a lot of people recommended I post it here. There is a better description and TONs of comments if you'd like more background info: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/gfxtsn/mom_69f_moved_a_random_couple_onto_her_property/ My parents met this ex-Hollywood couple 4 years ago, two years ago we went through a family tragedy and suddenly my parents bought an adjacent 40 acres property next to their home and started dumping their savings into it to build a yoga retreat for this couple they met. They also moved the couple into a rental on the property at an extremely low rate to help them out. My mom and the man became really close and she started telling me things like "he doesn't want any business or rental contracts in place, because our relationship is built on trust", "he thinks we should go high-end with our property remodel because this retreat is going to attract the 1%s" (their property is in a very low income desert area and this is not even close to reality), "he wants me to sign a life estate for him so he knows he won't have to move once we pass away". That was the one that really got me - this couple tried to manipulate my mom into signing a life estate after dumping over $150k into this new property. I know they are con-artists, I know they are manipulating my mom, but I cannot seem to get through to her and my step dad. I worked with a PI and saw the man has used 10+ different versions of his name over the years and 5 different social security numbers. He has addresses and PO boxes in his name from all over the country. I've told my parents and they go through phases where they are concerned and seem to realize what is going on, but then go back to trusting this couple even over their own children. What can I do? I'm exhausted and don't want to see my family get hurt, but I feel helpless. [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbors encroached 1.5ft with new femce and busted our sprinkler line. Posted: 09 May 2020 10:09 AM PDT Central NJ Our backyard is small only 20 ft wide. Our neighbor came over 1.5 months ago to ask permision to replace the back fence on HIS property that backs up to ours. We have no pool and no legal requirement for a fence. He does. After the install i come to realize its 1.5 ft on our property. Yesterday we turned the irigation system on and all of our sprinklers are in his backyard and a pipe was burst when they dug the holes for the lists. I chatted with him and he brought up he cpuld just moving my sprinkler line.... No. Hes claiming he told the fencing company to plop the new fence where the old one it. I called the fencing cimpnay and he said we appoved the work (we didnt) and that he was following the neighbors difection and they HAD to push it into our yard bc some bushes got to big... Not my problem. Hes a new neighbor and i dont want bad blood but 5% of my backyard is inaccesible. My sprinkler system is broken and the fence is just downright ugly and crocked. Everywhere online seema to talk about mediating and setting. No. My land. My sprinkler. How should i go about this and do you think theres a chance I can legaly get that fence removed replaced and our sprinkler ficed. They dont seem to be very cooperative. I refuse to give up 120 sqft of land in my already tiny backyard. Thoughts? Thanks all in advanced for reading!. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 May 2020 05:28 AM PDT I am the oldest of three children who are beneficiaries of my parents' irrevocable trust in Missouri. The trustee is a family member who has not been in contact with us for several years. The trustee was named because they were also named guardian of the minor children, but they ultimately didn't fulfill that role. The other beneficiaries now live with me. I have an incomplete copy of the trust that I requested from the trustee after it became irrevocable many years ago-- because it was faxed and the pages are numbered, I can tell some have been omitted. I have no information about what is in the trust. I have concerns about the trustee's management of the trust, as they have faced litigation for mismanaging a second trust. This trustee is a family member who, in addition to not providing a full copy of the trust, has never provided an accounting or any further communication since I have reached the age of distribution (several years ago). While I know we have rights as beneficiaries, I'm struggling with the cost vs. benefit of taking action. Because I don't know any information about the trust, I don't know if it is "worth" taking legal action over-- it would all be out of pocket for me. I'm not concerned so much for myself as I am for my younger siblings who I am now raising, as any financial support would be helpful to them once their survivor benefits end. TL;DR- I am an adult beneficiary of a trust, but have no communication from the trustee and an incomplete copy. What can I do own my own to get more information? How do I determine whether legal action should be taken without knowing details of the trust? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 May 2020 07:59 AM PDT I live just outside Portland, OR in the US. I bought my condo a few years ago and I live on the ground floor with a neighbor above me. The HOA has very strict bylaws and love to issue fines for violations. One of the rules in the bylaws was that upstairs units aren't allowed to have any type of flooring other than carpet. My upstairs neighbor installed it anyway and I. hear. everything! They can't sneeze or have sex without me knowing about it. I complained to the HOA and instead of fixing the issue they approved a one off situation where they had to "sound proof" the floors with an extra layer under the hardwood to cushion sound. It has only made things worse. I feel like I am living under the cast of Stomp 24/7. They walk/run around their place constantly and sometimes they are so loud it shakes my walls. I am no longer comfortable in my own home and I have no idea how I will be able to sell my place with those two upstairs. Is there anything legally I can do about this situation? I am planning on selling soon and I am freaking out! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 May 2020 09:08 AM PDT We are in Quebec, Canada. My girlfriend (25F) have helicopter parents and are NOT taking well the fact she want her independance. She moved in with me after she started having panic attacks just seeing the house of her family. (I live in the same city as them) We asked some of her stuff back and little by little, we got most of her stuff back... but they refuse to give her her legal papers. This include 2 passports, her diplomas, her birth certificate, her previous taxes reports, her citerzenship certificate and a lot more. We are thinking of filling papers with the police for seizing those documents at their house. We aren't sure how its going to go, my girlfriend think they might disown her out of spite or that they will make her documents disappears if they are warned beforehand. I would like to know how this goes down, depending if we are asked if we press charges or not. Should we even consider doing so? Can pressing charges be done later if her family try something nasty in payback? Her father is a doctor, it would be bad for him if she pressed charges hence why we are hesitating. He is also wealthy, petty, stubborn and cold-hearted. Her mom is both overly affectionnate and toxic. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 May 2020 10:42 AM PDT Location BC, Canada I just did the most boneheaded thing and sold alcohol to a minor. I got burned to a crisp yesterday and got pretty bad heat stroke so I've been feeling pretty off. I checked both pieces of ID and I got the year wrong, she wouldn't be of age until a couple of months. My brain felt fried from the sun and there was a growing lineup behind her so I rang it through. As soon as she walked out it hit me that I messed up. She seemed pretty nervous so I have to assume she was a secret shopper. Am I pretty screwed here? I'm so anxious and feel incredibly dumb. What would be my best course of action? I have a clean criminal record and it was an honest, albeit very stupid, mistake I made due to having heat stroke. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 May 2020 11:31 AM PDT The title basically says it all. We are in Michigan. My roommate's work is making their staff sign a waiver that essentially says it's not safe for them to return to work yet but they agree to do it anyways. If they don't sign the waiver, they will be considered to have quit voluntarily and will not be eligible for unemployment. Is this legal?? My roommate is also immunocompromised and have them a letter from her doctor stating such, and that she can't return to work yet. They said that's not enough information and want an exact date she'll be back, which is impossible given the nature of this pandemic- we don't know when the virus will have calmed enough that it's safe for her to work. any advice would be super helpful. thank you!!

| Posted: 08 May 2020 04:06 PM PDT My dog was taking a nap and was provoked by my ex-girlfriend (who was intoxicated). The dog snapped and bit her as a reaction. Insurance paid for all of her medical bills and the dog was put down. Since then, I received military orders and moved to another state. I received a summons in the mail stating that I was being sued by my ex for negligence, damages, loss of employment, potential loss of employment, etc. I am supposed to report to the courthouse in a different state by the end of next month along with a court hearing in the fall.

| Living in a neighborhood with HOA and I think the officer is getting too much money from us. Posted: 09 May 2020 12:58 PM PDT So I bought a house in a neighborhood 2 years ago and it has an HOA. It's pretty lax as far as HOAs go, so I haven't been really concerned. This is the first time I've lived somewhere that has one. We pay $500 a month to maintain the gravel road, central water system, street lights and random maintenance. I'm no expert on what those cost so I went back through the Declaration of Easements, Covenants and Restrictions to find an itemized list. What I found said this "Each member shall pay two maintenance fees of $10 each per month to the association. One such $10 fee is to be used for paying cost associated with the driveway, and shall be due beginning the month after purchase of a lot from the developer. One such $10 fee is to be used for maintaining the central water system and shall be due beginning the month after a lot is tapped onto the system." To me, that says I'm only supposed to be paying $20 a month which comes to $240 a year, not $500. Now, maybe things need to be adjusted over the years and I get that, but our HOA officer said that she "needs to be paid from that amount too". I was under the impression she was a volunteer and was not supposed to be paid for this. She got frustrated when I asked her for an itemized list and told me it was in the Declaration. I'm in the US in Georgia btw. Im not one to cause a commotion, but I will if this is something I need to raise a stink about. Please let me know if more info is needed. [link] [comments]  |
| When I go back to work, I will be expected to commit tax fraud. Posted: 09 May 2020 08:36 AM PDT New York State, USA Hi, I'm a horse and I'm in a bit of a bind at work. I'm a "salesman" at work by title, but really I got delegated to take care of the sales legwork. I fill in orders, make sure they ship, fill out the required tax forms including a shipping label and commercial invoice, and do the same for when someone needs a part to repair our products or for whatever reason. These are often large orders of expensive machines across borders, usually from NY where I am to factories in China, Korea, or Japan, though the issue happens both internationally and when we ship nationally, usually to universities. Until I left for corona leave, there was a woman who oversaw the whole process. Really I was easing her job, so she just knew how everything was done at my company. She always wanted me to give false values on the commercial invoices and other forms "for tax reasons" which I'm pretty sure is a sly way of saying "so we can commit tax fraud." These are often $100,000-200,000 products we list as $200, or at the very least $5,000 listed for $5. The second happens every day, the first more like monthly. I did this because it was a part of my job, but I made sure to let them know I'm uncomfortable with this and the only reason I'm doing it is because my overseer was always the one to put her signature on it, leaving me blameless (?). (Note: I think I'm on one or two of the earlier ones, before I realized that something sketchy is happening.) Well of course while I was gone they shat on her and she left. Now I'm going to be expected to do the same, but I don't want to break any laws for a sketchy company I don't even like. Would I be held legally responsible for what I've done so far? Should I be turning these people in? Who would prosecution go after? I actually like the woman who quit. I've seen the IRS gives a reward for people who help with significant cases of tax fraud, is this something I can claim a reward on? Would I be incriminated to the point I could not get a reward? Am I looking at jail time? I am considering sending an email to my idiot CEO when I get back basically saying "I think what you're asking me to do is illegal, do I have to do it?" I think he would send an email back saying "yes or you're fired" but I don't want to get too deep in this before I know what the legal situation is. I'm in my 20's and am honestly scared I'll be held accountable by the next person in my position. [link] [comments]  |
| Job offered me a raise, I signed and sent back, they called back next morning with an OOPS Posted: 09 May 2020 10:44 AM PDT Basically my job offered me a new position with a 13k raise. I accepted immediately, and signed the offer with the exact amount and sent it back. The next morning they called and said oops, HR filled out the wrong amount and it's only 10k, I hope you're not disappointed. I said it was alright and I understood mistakes happen. Now that I'm thinking about it though, I already signed the new offer and this feels a bit like bait and switch. I don't want to cause too much trouble because I understand 10k is still a lot of money, but I'm wondering if this is even legal for them to do if the document was signed? Thanks in advance for any input. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 09 May 2020 12:54 PM PDT We rent a house as a bunch of students. How do we stop him from entering? It's in the lease but we want notice. We're sick of him stopping by whenever he wants. Is he allowed to just exempt himself like this? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 May 2020 12:49 PM PDT My uncle called them just to get simple details on the policy to check how much we would be entitled, but Mony won't give any information at all because my grandma was the policyholder for her own life. I don't see how this makes any sense [link] [comments]  |
| My baby’s dad is kicking me out of the house but won’t sign for me to go back to my country with her Posted: 09 May 2020 10:03 AM PDT I live in Belgium with my 2 daughters and my partner. We fight a lot and he told to me get out of the house and I want to to back to my country, Brazil. Only my baby (8months old) is his daughter and he told me he won't sign for me to bring her to Brazil with me. But I don't work nor can support my 2 daughters here. I want to go back to my country where I'm graduated and can provide for them, and where I have my parents that can look after them while I work. I'm afraid he will take my baby away since he and the baby are belgians and I'm an immigrant! [link] [comments]  |
| Can I take action against this surgeon? VA Posted: 09 May 2020 01:37 PM PDT I am new to this and would just like some advice on this situation. When my wisdom teeth started to grow and cause me pain, my dentist referred me to an oral surgeon. The first red flag occurred during my consultation with him. I spent the majority of the appointment making it clear to him that I am SEVERELY allergic to penicillin. That day he wrote me a prescription because I was set to have my wisdom teeth removed 4 days later. When my mom and I went to have the prescription filled, we asked the pharmacist if the prescription had any relation to penicillin. The pharmacist told us that it was penicillin. I was pissed but my mother told me that we had to go through with it because this was the only place nearby that would take my insurance. On the day of the surgery when he went to insert the IV needle, he didn't wipe my arm with alcohol. Then he couldn't get the needle in so he tried again and again. It got to the point where he had stabbed me twelve times as I was begging him to stop as well as the nurses telling him to stop. When I came out of surgery my mother asked why I looked like a human pin cushion. He claimed I was being difficult which is untrue. As soon as I woke up, I knew something was wrong. I was still on the anesthetic but I could feel this awful pain in the top right side of my mouth. I am on video saying that it hurts. He told me to shut up. When I went back to the dentist it turns out that he left the top right hole opened and the skin that grew back didn't cover the hole, but it covered my back molars which is quite painful to deal with. I was told that it will probably require surgery to fix his screw up. I'd rather die than go back to that madman. What can I do? This happened at the end of September 2019. [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbors Making My Life a Living Hell.. How do I deal with this. Posted: 09 May 2020 08:34 AM PDT Short story: I'm living in the US in New York City under public housing. Neighbor from hell making my living atrocious for pass year/two. And I have no ideas on how to through living like this. Please help... Pre-quarantine: A year ago every single day, the neighbor next door would knock on the door so damn loud that neighbors from the other side of the building would be able to hear it. You would think why I would be complaining about knocking but they actually knock for at least 30 minutes for the other person to open and it's at 5AM in the morning, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I'm not even exaggerating. The neighbor thst was living next to them yelled at the person knocking that he would break his door if he doesn't stop. You think he would stop but nah. It just kept omg going on. And I'm pretty sure they drove that person away because I see a different person coming in and out of there now. Then for about a good 6-8 months after the other neighbor left, they occasionally blasting music late at night usually 12AM till the brick of dawn. And almost every weekend they allow their kids stay up all night running around stomping. I've contacted 311 countless dozen of times and all they said is that they filled out a noise complaint to the police and they will investigate during their off duty hours. (Or something along the lines of that). Quarantine: They've got a pet dog. It's not bad that they have a dog, I'm not complaining about that they got a dog. But I am complaining about his their dog ACTUALLY BARK FOR LITERAL HOURS AND THEY WON'T EVEN STOP AND CONTROL HIM/HER. Any time of the day, you name it the dog provides it, they won't care. When the dog stops barking, it's their cue to start blasting their music. I've texted one neighbor from the other side of the building if they could provide me some info to tone it down. He replied with 311 or housing management number. Otherwise, wear ear plugs. Apparently they have been letting their dog pee on their side of the building. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 May 2020 04:26 PM PDT I live in Washington DC and today I picked up a prescription from a pharmacy and about an hour or two later I got three phone calls and an unintelligible voicemail from an unknown number and then I got a text that read: hey [OP] this [name] the technician from [pharmacy] I'm so sorry how I got your number I thought you were so nice I just wanted to ask can we be friends I did not give him my name or phone number, so it's obvious to me that he got my number from the pharmacy computer system. I'm super creeped out because i'm a single female and I live down the street and now this guy knows my name, my phone number, my address, etc. Is this a HIPAA violation? Is it legal to call someone for personal reasons if you got their phone number from their pharmacy records? What course of action should I take? [link] [comments]  |

| Got a request for evidence for my GC app, having some trouble understanding it Posted: 09 May 2020 01:03 PM PDT Hey, I applied for a marriage green card at the same time my husband sent in his petition to sponsor. Just received an RFE in the mail, and the gist seems to be that my husband's 2018 income didn't go past the povety threshold? I have a couple questions. 1. In 2018 it's true that most of his income was unfortunately unemployment. Is this why? Our joint tax return was for ~60k and i made around 30k of that. 125% above poverty in CT is ~21k. 2. I don't understand what they're asking for in terms of evidence. Here is a link to the relevant pages http://imgur.com/a/LfZjDHS Do they just want a w2 from 2018? Since that would be unemployment for him, we would like to rather submit 2019 and his offer letter for a new much higher paying job. But it says we can only submit 2019 tax return if it's signed AFTER july 15 2020??? Taxes are due july 15.. If you have any insights, we would be super grateful. This is a much more confusing process than we thought without lawyers. [link] [comments]  |
| HOA Won’t allow open garage door, but I have no other choice... please help. Posted: 08 May 2020 09:18 PM PDT Hi guys! Thanks for taking a moment to read. My condo HOA in Las Vegas does not allow residents to leave an open garage door while not 'in use.' The problem is, my wife and I need to train in there every day. We are Cirque du Soleil acrobats and have both been indefinitely let go until corona is over. As is such, our gyms at work are gone, public gyms are gone, and we have gone to incredible lengths to procure equipment we can use at home while we wait this out. Also, in Vegas right now, it's over 100 degrees every afternoon and if we close the door we would die of heat stroke, as well as not be able to see anything, and we absolutely cannot let off training over this, because it's our only way to maintain during lockdown. Do we have any recourse? Any advice? Thank you reddit. Edit: the HOA is requiring I comply or fine me 200$ every time it's left open. [link] [comments]  |

| My lawyer died, and he was a one man law firm, now what? Courts in New Orleans are still closed. Posted: 08 May 2020 05:49 PM PDT I retained a criminal lawyer on 3/10/20, and then Covid happened and shut down courts in New Orleans. I had last contact with him on 4/10/20, a normal check in. With everything shut down I figured no contact was normal. Today I reached out, and learned he passed away two weeks ago on 4/19/20. His phone and website are shut down, with no forward information. What should I do now? Courts are still closed. Obviously I need to hire a new lawyer? The money($1500) I payed him is gone? No way to get that back? Thanks in advance take care, and be well. Edit. TIL- There are risks associated with hiring a one man law firm [link] [comments]  |
