| Manager expects me to cover dine and dash bills. Posted: 07 May 2020 04:52 AM PDT A few months ago I had a table that didn't pay their full bill. I handed them the book with the bill, walked away to give them time, and a minute later I see them walking out the door. So I go and grab the bill and check and they still owed 5 more dollars. At this point they were still outside but I knew I wasn't allowed to chase them out, so I went and told my manager(not the GM). When I told him about it he told me "that sucks". So at the end of my shift I have to go to my manager after counting my money and give what I owe. I tell him that I'm going to give him everything minus 5 dollars because the table didn't pay it. My manager immediately looks at me with an expression of "excuse me?". He says "well who's going to pay for it then?". I tell him the company will pay but it's not my job. He starts to get an attitude with me and tells me that it's my job to pay for dine and dash no matter the bill cost and that I should always be in my section. He says that I should always be watching my tables 24/7 and that I should have counted the money before they left. All of this is not plausible. I have to go in the back to run food, get drinks, and if a table isn't in my section I have to tend to them. I can't be standing in the middle of my section it doesn't make any sense. Not to mention I have other tables to pay attention to. And as for counting the money in front of them I was never taught that in training and I know that no one in the restaurant does. You take the book and go to the computer system. He was saying that it was my fault...but even if I catch up to someone who had not paid the bill before they leave I can't stop them. So one of my coworkers was in the office as all of this was going on and she told me that she always counts the cash in front of them(which I know for a fact to not be true) and that she always pays the dine and dash bills. As she's telling me this two other co works tell me that they have covered bills for dine and dash as well and that's just the way it works. At this point I feel like all of this is illegal and these people are just paying out of pocket without even questioning anything. The whole conversation I was being belittled and spoken to in an extremely rude manner. Later on I ask other employees and they say that I don't have to pay for dine and dash and that they have never had to. So at this point I'm extremely upset and as I get home I do some research and the law is a little different state by state but what I got out of it was that it in fact is illegal for my employer to take my tips. I get that it was just five dollars but it was still my money, and next time if it's 50 or 100 dollars they will expect me to pay up. I would really appreciate if someone could clear up the law for me a little better and give me advice on what to do next time they try this on me again. I live in CT [link] [comments]  |
| UPDATE: daughter tells me about inappropriate touching. What can I do legally to keep her safe? Posted: 07 May 2020 11:59 AM PDT We were able to get in today with the child advocacy center. First the team assigned to the case spoke with myself and her father. I explained why we were all here(bleeding, accidents, daughter (4) telling me her fathers roommate puts things in her butt). Father then says along the lines of "again this is a misunderstanding, I know what happened, he was telling her to pull her pants up so he put a marker in her butt crack." We are taken to lobby and social worker then takes daughter to interview her. While this is happening two social workers come to speak with us about a physical exam,they explain it's a consent led exam and daughter is allowed to stop at any time . They leave I turn to father and tell him I think it's a good idea to proceed. He gets very angry telling me I don't get to make that decision and I'll be hearing from his lawyer. I try to explain why I feel such way and he just kept saying it's too much trauma and I don't have the right to make the choice(legally I do). They finish interview with daughter and we(mom and dad) go back into meeting room with the team. The police officer assigned to the case explains that she didn't say anything to the social worker that would cause them to believe anything happened and the case is officially closed. My lawyer is in mediation all day and will not be available to talk until tomorrow. So. Obviously I do NOT want any of this to be true or happening to my daughter, but am I crazy for finding it extremely inappropriate for a grown man to think sticking a marker in a toddlers butt crack is ok? Or that he was testing to see what he could get away with? I also just found out he has a degree in behavioral analysis.....which is more upsetting. Do I have any ground to stand on by requesting the removal of said roommate before visitation is allowed again? I feel so lost. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 May 2020 01:02 PM PDT I'm going to be vague because it's a niche industry but we are essential and several times a day I have to use a chemical that even when diluted can cause minor burns to the skin. My boss decided to make a big announcement on our Facebook page saying that he was donating all the gloves we had to frontline workers. I came in this morning and asked how I was supposed to use that chemical and he just said to rinse my hands every few minutes. I've been sent home because I refused to use it without gloves. He said if I don't come in tomorrow and do the stuff that uses that chemical I'm fired. I don't think he'll be able to find more gloved now and I refuse to use that chemical without gloves. What are my options? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 May 2020 12:59 AM PDT My father is a psychopath and a pedophile and I have proof. I haven't spoken to his side of the family because they know about him and they are protecting him. I'm afraid to speak publicly about it because he has a lot of money and connections. I'm in Massachusetts. I need as much advice as possible. What are my options? [link] [comments]  |
| I had to defend myself from a false citizens arrest. I got pepper sprayed, I'm scared Posted: 06 May 2020 10:47 PM PDT I'm in Illinois. This didn't happen that long ago and I'm super freaked out still. I'm really scared. I'm 16. I routinely walk late at night, it's something I've always done. I always walk from my house, through a public park, and onto a public trail. Some guy came out of his apartment overlooking the park yelling at my friend and I to stop. We kept walking but he came down and cornered us against a fence telling us we're under citizens arrest for trespassing. I'd never seen him before I didn't tresspass anywhere. The parks doesn't have a closing time, the trail doesn't either, and it's reopened from the pandemic closures. I walked on public sidewalks to get there. He was on the phone with presumably 911 and also trying to keep us cornered. I tried to leave and he grabbed me by my neck and pepper sprayed my face. I couldn't see and I fought back until he let go. I didn't know how bad I hurt him or if I even got him but I ran away down the trail. My throat hurts from him grabbing it, im having triuble talking because of it. The pepper spray is burning my skin. It's not as bad in my eyes anymore. When I peeked off the trail from down the street a few minutes ago lots of police cars were at the park including the detective cars, and an ambulance was there too with fire trucks. I really am scared of going to jail. I didn't mean to hurt anyone, and I don't know how badly I hurt him. I've never gotten in trouble before. I don't know where my friend went. Help?!?

| Posted: 07 May 2020 06:51 AM PDT Location: Portland, Oregon U.S. Hi I really need some advice here. I'll try to give out as much as details as possible without making this post too long. Me and my now ex-bf signed an apartment lease together a few month ago but then things went down hill. We've been sleeping separately (him in the bedroom me on the living room floor) for a couple months now. We had an physical argument last month; he was upset about something I said so he threw plates and bowels at me while I was sitting down, one actually hit my forehead, thenI got up and slapped him. A few weeks ago he told me that he would like to break the lease but I was out of the job at the time so I refused. He went and filed a restraining order against me and I was asked to leave my apartment in the middle of the night. I had only 15 mins to packed my things so I left with only a backpack. I've requested a contest hearing by mail, it's been 7 days and I haven't heard anything from court. I really need to get the rest of my belongings back including my computer and my pet rabbit. (The rabbit is mine, wasn't a shared pet). The apartment rent was due yesterday and I know he was planning on moving out before all these happened so I doubt that he would continually/able to pays rent by himself. Since he listed the apartment address as his "safe address", will I be able to legally retrieve my belongings AFTER he moved out? If not, will it be ok if I sent movers or friends to the apartment to pack up my things for me? (After he moved out, of course) How long should I expect to be able to look up my hearing date online? I've try to called the court clerk number everyday but they never pick up. i barely started my new job so I can't afford to hire an attorney. And if I want a second stand-by from sheriffs I would have to pay expensive fee for that which I don't have... Sorry if i seemed everywhere. Im just lost and don't know what to do. I really miss my pet bunny. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 May 2020 07:59 AM PDT I apologize if this is the wrong place and if so, please point me to the right sub if you can. I ordered about $90 worth of maternity clothes 7 weeks ago. It said it could take up to 30 days to receive my order which I understood. But it's been just over 7 weeks now, and I'm still not getting answers. The company was advertised a ton on my FB (I know now not to order anything from Facebook ads, but their website seemed legit when I Googled it). I placed the order and paid through PayPal. The items I ordered were a dress for my shower (which I'm doing a virtual baby shower in 2 weeks), and some maternity dresses and pants to wear through the rest of my pregnancy. I have messaged the company on FB, and their customer service email. The customer service email I've been going back and forth with for 2 weeks, they tell me the same thing each time "the order has been shipped, the rest is up to the courtier, please track your package." I was also informed these items shipped from the UK which is why they take longer (but none of this was stated on the website, and the website said up to 30 days to get your order). When I go to track my package, and it says the same thing it has said for over a month: "Shipping label processed" and then the rest is pending. It has 4 steps to go through and its still on step one of label processed. Also, the response I got seemed to he from someone's personal account email with a name on it. Their company messaged me back on FB and said they will look into it.. But I doubt that. At this rate, I won't even be able to wear the shower dress I got for my shower, and I won't get to even wear any of the maternity clothes I bought because I won't be pregnant anymore or I'll be pregnant for maybe another 2 or 3 weeks when the items finally do arrive, if they ever do arrive. (Im about 7.5 months pregnant). Is there anything that I can do? I know with PayPal you can message them if you don't receive your item, but since mine is still technically being shipped, I don't know if I qualify for that or anything. Any advice is appreciated.

| My Dog Passed Away Due to Pharmacy's Mistake Posted: 07 May 2020 09:45 AM PDT I'm am devastated to be writing this sentence but my dog passed away on Monday. She was the best dog and I loved her more than anything. Her vet prescribed her a steroid and another drug to help with the symptoms of her Cushing's disease. The vet prescribed a 1mg dose of the steroid but Walgreens Pharmacy dispensed a 10mg dose. So my dog was receiving 10x the dose she should have received which caused her to develop a severe case of pancreatitis that she was unable to recover from. Walgreens has admitted fault and offered to pay her vet bills ($6000) which is not nearly enough to fill the hole in my heart. I'm not sure how to proceed. Should I contact a lawyer to have them work out a settlement? I don't want her death swept under the rug and I definitely don't want this to happen to anyone else. TLDR: Walgreen's killed my dog [link] [comments]  |
| IOWA - Sister's fiance has died and his family wants "his" things back, but a line is hard to draw. Posted: 07 May 2020 09:53 AM PDT My sister's fiance has died. They have been together for 5 years, engaged for 2 (would have been married this summer), and have lived together for the past 4 years. When they moved in together it was their first place (sister lived with my parents before that and he lived with his parents) so they furnished it together. They both deal mostly in cash and had their "own" paychecks but tried to keep things even; whenever they bought something they usually both contributed some money toward it. My sister has no clue now who "owns" the microwave or who "owns" the Xbox. It was all just "theirs" together. His family has demanded to enter their apartment to gather "his" things. Some things are obvious - like "his" shoes but his family wants "their share" of the household. They have been going through Facebook photos an asking "who bought the dining table" "who bought the couch" etc. They bought these things used together over the years. The family says they want to gather and appraise all these items for the sake of his estate, and so that once the estate is settled his parents can sell the things to cover funeral expenses. When my sister explained that most of their belongings were shared purchases, his parents said they can just divvy up the valuables such that they get 2/3 of the value of the apartment's items (they are arguing for 2/3 because he made about twice as much money as my sister, so they deem that he must "own" 2/3 of the stuff). How does this work, legally? Will she have an obligation to just empty out her home and give it all up to them? Sorry it's just a vague question. I don't know enough specifics about estates to even know what I should be asking really. Thanks for any thoughts you all may have. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 May 2020 08:34 AM PDT Met overseas, got married way too young, wife got pregnant, didn't work out and she went back home temporarily to get over the divorce, be in her environment and recharge with the agreement she would come back to the States in six months. She did come back and try to make it work with a new job etc, but it didn't last and she moved back overseas. I was able to see my child once during all of this for an hour when she was about 18 months old. Wife did get full custody of my daughter in NC with state ordered visitation rights and I agreed to pay $350 a month in child support (I was young and broke and that was 25% of what I made at the time). She said it was too difficult to explain to my child why she didn't have a father in her life when I could not afford to visit regularly by flying overseas quarterly as a broke college student. Her idea was then to cut me off entirely from my child. I had no money and no legal recourse and the country she was in would not have been cooperative. This went on for years. I was paying child support regularly but after she cut me off I refused (she was from a very well-off family, my money had no impact). 10 years later the Ex-wife is now living in MD, remarried and prior to her moving she contacted me about 5 years ago, asking if I was interested in seeing my daughter as they were touring the US that summer. I was ecstatic and then she simply told me my daughter hated me and had no interest. She was 9 and I hadn't seen her in person in years and not allowed to speak to her, how could she hate me? I felt her Mom set that up so I flipped out, cussed her out and we haven't spoken since. I can tell by her twitter feed and pics where they live, where my kid goes to school and I see that she has a nice life. I absolutely love this kid regardless and want to be a Dad in anyway I can but I know my ex will start a war if I try to initiate any contact. Being that I haven't paid child support in years as she cut me off entirely while my broke ass was paying, I wonder if I attempt to contact my child if she will sue for that or have me thrown in jail. I want to be a part of this kid's life but don't want to ruin her life by going full scorched-earth with her mother in a war that would likely end around the time she turns 18. I have no idea what to do but I want her to know I love her and she has a family and grandparents that miss her. [link] [comments]  |
| Can CPS take my girlfriends and I baby away because she is a sex worker? Posted: 07 May 2020 12:30 PM PDT My girlfriend is pregnant and me and her record our sex videos and she takes nude pics and sell them online on a site called only fans. It is a site where people sell content that is taxed. I have a full time job. She is not a prostitute and has never done that in her life. Her family have completely degraded her for it and we are expecting and they know we are expecting. We are scared that they will try to get CPS involved in our lives because of the line of work she is in. When the baby is born we plan on not doing it around him and keeping it private. Can CPS take my baby away because of what my girlfriends job is? Even if we don't do it around him, live in a nice place, and he's not in any type of danger or harm? We live in Houston, Texas [link] [comments]  |
| Terminated/Fired for Contracting COVID-19 (Texas, North Dallas Area) Posted: 07 May 2020 03:13 PM PDT Hello, I'll keep this direct and to the point. A few weeks ago (I work in food service) I worked at a restaurant on March 28th all night. On March 29th I began to feel feverish and got an appointment to urgent care. I was tested, and let my employer know that I was showing symptoms of COVID-19 and was tested that evening - the results would take up to a week and I wouldn't feel comfortable coming back to work and exposing co-workers/customers until I knew the results. He said no problem and to keep him updated. Two days later my family and I were all confirmed positive for COVID-19. I immediately notified my employer to let him know this, and that the health department in my county would be routinely checking up on me, but to expect that I would be out a minimum of 10-14 days before I would be allowed to leave self-quarantine per the County Health Department. Again I was told no problem and to get better. I contact my employer after i'm released from self-isolation and ask when i can come back to work and get no response. nothing and get no response for the next m We're now into May and after a few messages with the owner who initially said "No problem we'd love to have you back", is now saying that the staff and ownership is scared of working with me and that "we'll see" when I can come back (which I have no vacation/sick time so this is essentially being unemployed without any formal notice) since I was sick and then 0 communication. I know as an American my rights are extremely limited but is there anything I can do in this situation? The job market is horrible right now and I don't have many options. Thank you.

| Posted: 06 May 2020 04:30 PM PDT I'm a 14 year old who lives in New York and recently had CPS come to our house. My father has anger issues, he would constantly hit/beat me, argue with me, punish me, and yell at me to the point I am depressed and have though tof suicide as young as 10. After CPS came to my house, me and my parents were taken to a police station to be interviewed, and I told them all the things my dad had done, one of these things was that he frequently groped me on my rear end. I told them I did not feel safe around him. After the interview, he was temporarily forced to move out and tomorrow they are going to decide what to do with him. Ever since this my mom had been extremely upset about this and told me if my father was arrested or even not allowed to see me, she would immediately go back to her country and take me with her, and if possible then go to my fathers country to continue our family there (my parents are both immigrants, I believe what my father did will get him deported). She also told me she "might become suicidal". I am terrified at the idea of this, as my mothers country, Uzbekistan, is much worse than here, and so is my fathers, Ecuador. Not to mention they want to ignore the fact my father, who abused me, isnt allowed to see me. I'm extremely frustrated about all of this and my dad is saying he has done nothing wrong for 20 years, and I suddenly ruined everything. I only wanted for my dad to be removed and to live with my mom, but she does not understand I do not feel safe at all around him (anger issues) and that I have asked many times (for years) for him to be more fair with me. She either wants us together as a family or for us to split apart and go to an entirely different country. TL;DR: My father can get deported for sexual abuse to me, we live in New York. My mom believes I should forgive my dad and that he is a good person, he just has mental issues (that he never sought help for despite being able to). My mom says she will go back to Uzbekistan and I am going with her. She says she might go to Ecuador (with me again) to be with my dad again. Im sorry this is extremely long and kind of a sob story more than an actual question. I just feel like I need to give as much context as possible, since this is something that will change my life and I need to make sure I am making the right descisions. I am also sorry this technically takes more than just one flair. If you can help me, I just have a few questions:
I'm not expecting for all of these to be answered, in fact even if just one person gives me just a little bit advice on one of them I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you for reading this. EDIT: Thank you all so much for your advice, I highly appreciate this. Today they are going to decide what to do with my father, and I'm going to try and tell them what has been going on as soon as possibly. [link] [comments]  |
| GM deletes shifts to avoid overtime payments. DM has been aware for awhile and has done nothing. Posted: 07 May 2020 01:04 PM PDT So I just want to start by stating this isn't happening to me but it is happening to the friends I made from my former place of employment, and they come to me to ask what to do. So to make a long story short I was the GM for a large chain, and when I left the company I maintained contact with a large group of friends from there. And when I left a literal shitshow began to take place. Most of things are small and petty and can be resolved by talking to the DM (and they have been). However a recent finding revealed something deeper was happening. In the beginning some people realized the person who took my position was deleting hours from the system to avoid overtime and she told them she would add it to a week where they were not at risk of hitting OT. Major red flag to me. So after listening to all of their complaints I sent an email to VP about the situation (when I left there was also a change in leadership for the area and I did not know contact information for any of them). The VP sent the email to the DM and she called me and I told her about the retaliation, the hours being cut, etc. She tried to butter me up and I wasn't really having it, so I told my friends what they need to do, keep detailed records, record conversations (one party consent state), and get as much in text as possible. Today one of the manager called my roommate and was asking about hours being deleted and the two got on facetime to look at the system to see how many hours were deleted and from who (and it was a lot. 5 hours from one person here and then another two there. Whole shifts deleted from someone) and to see the manager that deleted the shifts. They then called their DM (since this is about the GM) and sent a text. The DM already knew about hours being deleted due to the conversation she and I had. And had apparently done nothing about it. The GM states that when she finalizes payroll every week she looks at the schedule and adjusts the time to what they were scheduled to work and not what they actually worked during that pay period. All of their conversations have gone under the rug with empty promises. So I guess my question is what should they do now that everyone seems complacent in the hours being deleted?

| PPP loan through Kabbage is 10x what I applied and should be approved for Posted: 07 May 2020 10:28 AM PDT Hello Legal Advice! Long time lurker here. I'm posting from a throwaway so that my inbox for my main account doesn't get inundated and all responses for this post are organized for me. Apologies if I overlooked any rules. I'm located in Washington State if that's relevant. This will take a bit to set up so please bear with me. I've exhausted my resources for figuring this out so hopefully someone from Legal Advice can point me in the right direction. I posed in Personal Finance but AutoMod removed the post as they deemed it about small business. When the lock down occurred for COVID-19, it significantly impacted my industry. I reached out to my CPA and Financial Planner for minimizing my expenses for the foreseeable future. At that time, the SBA had announced the PPP loan and applications for the loan through my normal credit union had already been maxed out. My CPA suggested using Kabbage and after doing some digging and verifying with my financial planner that Kabbage was legit, I went ahead and made an account to apply. The application was pretty straightforward. It wasn't until after they reviewed and approved of my application that I ran into a major issue. My loan application was for ~$20k as that's what my max would be based on my income for the previous year. I have multiple screenshots of this amount. However, when Kabbage sent me the automated email stating that I was approved for the loan and that they were sending it to the SBA for final review, the loan amount they approved me for jumped to nearly $250k. I called Kabbage and they told me they found the issue (they stated on the phone call that it was an issue with how their automated system reviewed my documents - I switched from 1099 in 2018 to a W2 in 2019 as I set up an LLC to operate my business from. Their system apparently calculated my loan amount based on BOTH years). However, they stated that there was "nothing they can do since their system approved it and that it's up to the SBA to approve or decline it". Fast forward a week or so and low and behold the SBA approved this ridiculous loan. I called the SBA and after a few transfers, finally spoke with someone. Her direct response was, "if the SBA approved the loan, it's yours". I told her that the loan is more than 10x what I applied for and what I should be approved for based on the parameters of the loan. Furthermore, I explained that Kabbage is aware that they made a mistake but they can't change it and that they directed me to the SBA to make the change. She said the SBA doesn't have the ability to change the loan amount, only the ability to approve or deny it. I told her I don't want the excess funds, I only want what I knowingly qualify for. She restated that it's out of her hands BUT she stated that if I use the funds for my payroll, than there isn't an issue and it WILL be forgiven despite it being more money than I need. She cited the stipulations for the loan forgiveness direct from the SBA site, and despite my reiterating that I don't want that much money, told me not to worry and that I should take the loan. She instructed me to take screenshots of the SBA site's guidelines for the loan and to save them in case the SBA changes the guidelines in the future (so I would have it documented I guess). So, I'm here wondering what the hell I should do. The ~20k that I know I'm qualified for would be really helpful, but I'm very reluctant to actually take the loan since I know the 250k is well beyond anything that I should have ever been approved for and I don't want to commit loan fraud. Does anyone have any idea as to what the repercussions of taking the loan would be? I was reading an article posted from Forbes a few days ago and they are now saying that all PPP applications are being audited and if the applicant knowingly takes out a loan through PPP that isn't 'necessary', it can have stiff penalties including up to 30yrs in jail and up to $1m in fines. All i want to do is lower the loan amount to what I know I qualify for, but I can't get Kabbage to take any steps towards changing it. As an anecdote, I've documented the entire process since I noticed the discrepancy in loan amounts. I have notes that I took from the recorded calls with Kabbage and the SBA, emails sent to (but never answered) by Kabbage, and I have video and screenshots of my loan application to approval (where it literally says that my application for ~20k is approved, and 'to claim it and sign loan docs click continue', and on the next screen it says my loan docs for a ~250k loan are ready to sign). What can I do that I haven't already attmepted? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 May 2020 09:09 PM PDT I'm sharing this for friend who doesn't have Reddit, but who needs some advice. I think this would be considered a violation of her privacy, and an infringement on HIPAA, among other things, but that seemed most pressing, so that's how I tagged it. Edit: I don't think that HIPAA applies her. It seems to be a common law privacy issue (public disclosure of private facts). Some backstory, my friend has been working from home since mid-March. She's been staying home for just as long, ordering groceries, etc. Last week she got really sick, shortness of breath, a deep cough, fevers for days, body aches. She was tested for covid-19 on Saturday and just found out it was positive today. Luckily, she's recovering and is doing much better. Here's her text to me: "I let my boss know that I was sick last week with symptoms of coronavirus and was going to get tested. I only let him know this because it would affect when I would be able to work, since we're planning on going back to the office later this month. Today, during a Facebook Live on his page, with about 500-1,000 viewers [including many coworkers and clients of the company], he let everyone know that I was sick and got tested for the virus (said my first and last name as well). I have this on recording. Several people tagged me in the comments, which notified my followers and my grandmother found out that I was sick this way. Then once I let him and our COO know that I tested positive, he and our COO let a few other employees know that I tested positive for the virus, even though they're not supposed to share any employees medical information." Obviously she is upset, as this is a big deal and a very touchy subject. He shared her first and last name in a Facebook video (which my friend has recorded). Her poor grandmother found out in freakin' Facebook, before she'd even felt comfortable sharing with some friends and family. This was her personal information, to choose for herself who gets to see it, and he boss and COO shared with with no regard for privacy twice. She'd like to know what her options are, any advice for how to deal with this, does she actually have grounds to move forward with this legally? Really anything would be helpful! Thank you in advance!! ETA: We're in DFW, TX, USA! [link] [comments]  |
| Wife takes all money and three kids to Idaho Posted: 07 May 2020 09:35 AM PDT My brother and his wife got an eviction notice in california. So my brother's wife packed up her car with the kids, and withdrew all the money and put it into her separate account and left to her cousins in Idaho. My brother had no choice but to follow along. They've always had a troubled marriage and were in the process of separating. Upon arriving my brother regretted following and wanted to come back, but could not due to her holding all the money so he started lashing out verbally more than usual, which they both are keen to do to each other. (My post history shows their volatile personalities) So his wife filed a protective order, but he has already come back to California. He has not been served, but informed this order exists. However, their stimulus check arrived to their old address so my brother was able to pick it up, and she now wants to meet at a bank to cash it, but my brother is hesitant because of this protection order to drive back to Idaho and meet up with her. She has written up a contract with stipulations she wants him to sign and have notorized in exchange for dropping the protective order. He is also hesitant to trust this. Does anyone have any suggestions on if he should trust her to meet at a bank with this order in place? [link] [comments]  |
| Homeless woman called cops claiming she lives with my father in law - Alaska Posted: 07 May 2020 01:32 AM PDT A random woman (who we are assuming is homeless) has called the cops claiming she lives with my father in law and he isn't letting her in the house. Obviously she has nothing to prove she lives there, yet the police are trying to make him let her in. What are his options? How do you prove someone doesn't live somewhere?

| Posted: 07 May 2020 01:49 PM PDT Hello everyone, I've been having some trouble and am hoping for some help, this is at a state school in Florida. This past semester I was registered for 5 classes, two of them being 2-credit classes, and I have already paid for the semester in full. However, yesterday a bill was posted for 2 credits to my account, and when I asked the office about it they said that there was an error and that starting this semester the 2-credit courses I took were going to change to 3-credits a piece, and now they're charging me for the extra credits which comes out to over $1000. This is after my semester has already ended and already paid for everything, and from the point that I registered for classes up until yesterday these classes were displaying as only 2 credits. Can they go back and retroactively change this and charge me? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 May 2020 03:50 PM PDT Hey, I had a situation come up and was told I could potentially get some advice here! Recently, I was informed that I was exposed to someone who has Covid. After finding out, being polite I immediately told my roommates. They requested that I move out for 2 weeks to quarantine. I moved out as they requested. I got tested for Covid and was negative. My roommates talked to my landlord requesting me to be kicked out. I received and eviction notice "because I was exposed to covid and wasn't getting along with the roommates" and was advised to move out by May 21st. I called my landlord to have a conversation with her but all she said was "you're out" and hung up the phone. Now I am trying to get my things and just move in with my parents until I figure out where to live, but my roommates are not speaking to me even though I have attempted to contact them. Which is making the move out difficult. My understanding was that it was illegal to evict anyone during covid as well as I feel as if this discrimination. Aside from all of this my landlord has also been skipping out on taxes by telling all who rents her house to say we are all cousins. I need help and do not know what to do with this situation. Is what my landlord doing illegal, and can I press charges? Also is what my roommates doing illegal? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 May 2020 09:45 AM PDT Hello all, I work at a private ambulance service in MA. Today I had a disciplinary meeting with my manager. Long story short I'm being placed on AL due to not checking the oil in a timely manner, however during my meeting my manager stated they have audio recording of me making negative statements about the company. When asked why there was audio recording he stated it's because there are cameras and posted signs saying we are being monitored. I completely understand the video recording but I thought audio required consent? Do I have any options if I get terminated? [link] [comments]  |
| I had a really bad dentist experience Posted: 07 May 2020 03:42 PM PDT Is it legal for me to write my previous dentist a negative review? I am usually not the type to do so, but after this experience it has really impacted me for the rest of my life. I feel incline to warn others about my negative experience about this particular dentist. What can I say and cannot say? [link] [comments]  |
| My dad lied about his assets during mediation, is there anything my mom can do? Posted: 07 May 2020 01:23 PM PDT I'm typing this on account of my mom who isn't really good with tech stuff, so I don't have all of the details immediately ready. Also! This takes place in TX. My parents got divorced in July of 2019 I believe. Throughout my life, my dad spent his time cheating on my mom, emotionally abusing and gaslighting her, and ruining her reputation with our neighbors by telling them she's crazy and whatnot. Anyways, during mediation my mom got pretty screwed over by my dad. They both agreed to be fair, so she didn't try to take any of his material items or pension. In return, she was supposed to get the house that we've lived in and everything in it, minus a TV and the tools. He also agreed to fix a few things in the house that were broken, but once it was time to go he just...got the fuck. During mediation, my dad said that his assets were significantly less than they actually are, that he made less than he really did, and that he hadn't bought a new house yet. It turns out though that he did buy a new house way before the divorce was settled, and he had taken out a 200K loan on it. She also found out that he put a few of his assets in my uncle's name (his brother) so that she wouldn't touch them. It also turns out that my mom was only supposed to have 2 years left on our house to pay off, but my dad got a big loan on it right before the divorce, so now we'll be here for maybe another 20? Aside from the things that happened during the mediation, my dad has stolen quite a few things from my mom. Personal paperwork, jewelry, and money. But she has no solid way to prove it. My mom was told by her lawyer than once mediation is settled, there's nothing you can do about it. I was wondering how true that is? Is there anything that she can do? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
