| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 07:57 AM PDT Original Post Here for reference - https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/huymzd/new_york_not_even_divorced_yet_can_i_get_my/ I just want to thank everyone for the advice at the time. My post got more attention than I expected. The day after my post, my lawyer submitted an emergency motion for custody transfer to me. Before I even got an answer, I decided to just keep my daughter since no agreement was in place. Asked my lawyer if I could get in trouble for doing that and he said "the dude is fucking sleeping in bed with your daughter, I say go for it. I will handle anything else". So few days later, we got the judge to sign off on the custody transfer to me. A week ago, my wife's lawyer sent over a proposal to allow her to have two unsupervised 3 hour days with my daughter and I agreed. Find out yesterday she violated the court order on her second day back with my daughter and allowed her to interact with this gentleman. The court order made it very clear that my daughter was not to see or interact with him in any capacity. So now my lawyer is informed about that, and I am basically just waiting for an answer as to what will happen next. Again, want to thank everyone for their advice, kind words through private messages, and support through what is undoubtedly the most difficult time in my entire life. PS- She has retaliated by calling CPS on me and telling lawyers I am abusive to my daughter, which is obviously a lie. She is my sunshine in an otherwise dark world and I would never hurt her. I know she is safe with me. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 04:42 AM PDT Is there anything I can do to get this stuff off of social media? It's ridiculous some of the shit I see when I go look at her page. She posted a bunch of information from a trust that I'm a part of, and some of the sentences she highlights are concerning. She posted one such legal document that was trust fund information about money I will either inherit or have given to me at some age (I have no idea because I try to just ignore that and live my life like I have zero money coming to me later in life, because for all I know my mom will figure out a way to take it all anyways). It has my full name written multiple times, and the thing that is concerning is she highlighted a segment that says "In the event of the death of u/abstractivities" and I just have no fucking idea where her mind is at when she's highlighting stuff like that. She's posted stuff accusing my family of encouraging my cousin to commit suicide, saying my grandparents should be charged with manslaughter because my cousin committed suicide at his apartment at his college a couple years ago. She's hinted that they're trying to do the same to me, and my guess is that's why she's posted the stuff with the "In the event of death" verbiage. But this doesn't feel right, this doesn't feel like stuff that should be legal to just post everywhere for the world to see. Is there anything I can do? She also regularly posts police reports and complaints she's filed against various people, though I doubt it's illegal to post complaints filed with the police. She also posts documents from my parents divorce which happened more than 10 years ago, and she's just absolutely unhinged. I don't feel safe having her post some of this shit. She's reckless. She posted a video of her credit card getting declined because she thinks my grandparents are behind it and in the video she shows her fucking credit card to the camera. This is the behavior of an absolute nutjob, and I don't feel comfortable with that psycho posting documents with my information on it, what if she has documents that have my social security number on it and she posts stuff like that? So yeah, is there any legal action I can take to get her to stop posting this stuff, or do I just have to keep an eye out and hope she doesn't post anything that could actually screw me over? She's addicted to lawyers (went bankrupt and forced my grandparents to make it go away because she owed her divorce attorney over $200k after drawing out my parents' divorce for 10 years. Yes, she made my parents' divorce last 10 entire years despite my dad trying to split everything to just be done with it for years prior to it actually finalizing), she's addicted to courtrooms, she's addicted to suing, I don't feel comfortable with her posting anything with my name on it. She's also constantly slandering my grandparents, and their business, and making insane claims like they're hiding a billion dollars in secret accounts, she posts pictures of legal documents for my grandparent's company thinking she has dirt on them. It's obviously not the main content of this post, but is there anything my grandparents can do to make that stop? I am assuming it just falls under freedom of speech, but I don't understand anything about how slandering works, so maybe someone can give me some clarity on that too. She literally posted "[my grandpa's full name] should be charged with 3rd degree manslaughter for the death of [my cousin's full name]" last week. Absolutely disgusting, my grandparents are still grieving even though it's been a couple years, and my mom uses my cousin's suicide as a weapon. Also for locations, I live in California, so does my dad, and most of the legal documents are from courts in California, but she lives in New York currently. My grandparents live in Oregon.

| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 06:27 AM PDT My mom is a Wiccan and has always been kind of a free spirit. My dad was more of a traditional outdoorsman. We've spent a lot of time on the road and have been living in an RV, full time for the past 5 years. Two years ago dad was hit by a drink driver crossing the street. It basically destroyed my mom. My parents aren't great and my dad was an asshole but he kept us out of trouble. Now he's gone. Mom is definitely got us into a cult. IDK how she met these people but they've basically taken over our lives. The "leader" is clearly just accumulating followers for sex, drugs and money. He's banned the use of "screens" (cell phones/computers), bras, shoes and demand that women wear dresses/skirts at camp. He says this makes us "closer to Gaia". He's threw away my only bra, all my pants and shoes (expect 1) a few weeks ago. He clearly has a "type" of girl he likes. I think he only recruited my mom to get at my sister and I. We're currently way out in the middle of nowhere so, there's not really a shelter or anything near by. The nearest towns don't even really have anything and the police are basically useless (I've already tried) I have a job and apartment lined up in Ohio with a friend I met a long time ago and kept on touch with. I also have about $5,000 + supplies hidden at camp. I don't dare go near it until I decide to leave because I don't want to get found out. I've been saving since before dad died. I'm worried I'm running out of time to get out. Things have started to get violent. My sister turns 18 in a month but I know I can't leave her and mom has started multiple times "this is a great place for you AND your sister" and threatened to report me for kidnapping if I took her. Some of my ideas:

| Help with HIPPA violation and blackmail situation involving my sister? Posted: 26 Aug 2020 08:40 AM PDT My niece, Emily, needs a kidney transplant. So everyone in the family got tested. I was told I was a match for her, but after talking about the procedure and possible complications I decided I was not comfortable donating one of my kidneys. The doctor understood and said he would keep my decision and results private and he did end up telling my sister, Sarah (Emily's mom), none of us were matches. Sarah works at the hospital where we got tested and has a friend that also works in the hospital, but in the area where they do the testing. My sister learned from that friend that I was actually a match for her daughter. She confronted me about it and says she's going to tell our family that I wasn't going to donate even though I was a match unless I go through with the kidney donation. She knows this will probably get a lot of my family mad at me and don't want them to know. So my first question is would my sister get in trouble for a violating HIPPA if I just report her friend? Shes works in the accounting department at the hospital. I know what she did and is doing is wrong, but I don't want her to lose her job as she needs it and the insurance that comes with it to pay for Emily's medical care. As for the blackmail part is there something like a cease and desist that I could get a lawyer to send her and maybe scare her into keeping quiet? I am looking up lawyers to help me deal with this situation. I guess I'm just not sure what type to look for because I'm assuming the two legal issues aren't exactly in the same field of expertise. Also this all happening in Atlanta, Georgia. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 05:05 AM PDT I have two co-workers that harass me and bully me at work every day. They insult me and call me names and make unfunny "pranks". In our work uniform we have a cap, what they do is they knock off my cap with the back of their hand so I have to pick it up on the ground (where it gets dirty). They do this like a dozen times a day. Looks innocent enough but it's aggressive behavior and it's making me miserable. My manager says it's schoolyard drama and won't do anything. I just don't know how to make them stop. Could knocking off my cap be considered assault? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 04:40 AM PDT Little back story, my father passed away in 2016, my grandmother in 2017. My cousin (Sammy Sr.) was the executor of my grandmother's estate and was handling my father's as well, but there was no will for him, so things were in limbo. He (Sammy) moved all of my father's trucks and tractor to his place (house and land) to keep an eye on, as I live in an apartment and have no room for everything. Sammy passed away about 2 months ago, and his wife contacted me last night to tell me his son, Sammy JR is going to try and file lost title on everything and take them himself. I have the title to everything except maybe the tractor, what do I need to do, or what can I do to prevent this? He was not named anywhere in the will of my grandmother, only my father and I, which everything goes to me on my 25th birthday (April 24th, 2021) Any insight is appreciated, this is definitely a first time for me, thank you.

| UT- New tenant moved in with an ESA but I’m severely allergic Posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:53 PM PDT So I live in student housing so my lease includes my room and some share of the common areas. The apartment complex is advertised as pet free which is why I signed here because I have a severe cat allergy. A new tenant moved into one of the empty rooms for the coming semester and then asked the rest of us if we had any cat allergies. I told her I am severely allergic and am not able to live with cats and she responded that we should find some compromise because legally she's allowed to have an emotional support animal. I would love to find a compromise but unfortunately with central air and the duct work even just keeping the cat in her room is going to cause issues with my breathing and the dander in the air will cause hives. She left to get the cat from her parents and I decided to go to management to see if we could find a solution but they had no idea that she was going to be bringing an animal to a no pets apartment. I put them on notice as saying I have a severe allergy and would not be able to live with a cat and they told me they would call her and get back to me. She returned with the cat and so far has kept it in her room but within two hours I began having issues breathing and every time she leaves her room for any amount of time the cat starts scratching at the door and yowling. To the point that even the rest of the roommates and a bit annoyed. Basically I don't know what to do in this situation? I think under the Fair Housing Act I also have the right to reasonable accommodations and the landlord has the right to deny an ESA as it causes a health and safety risk to another tenant but I don't know how to go about this since even the landlord has yet to get back to me and they seemed somewhat afraid of trying to mess with ADA. I would love suggestions about what I should do because I can't spend this whole year high off of Benadryl because I am trying to get my senior thesis done and that would get expensive very fast. Any advice helps! TLDR; new roommate brought an ESA cat but I have severe allergies and cannot live with a cat. I need to focus on school and I can't do that while taking Benadryl everyday.

| 5150 destroyed my house before restraining order was served Posted: 26 Aug 2020 01:51 AM PDT Cops did nothing but serve her, she has destroyed house, broken mirrors, all of our glass alcohol bottles, shit is everywhere in the house smeared everywhere, in the fridge all over the kitchen, broke into our room, allowed our dogs who we keep separate loose together they almost killed each other..the vandalism is astronomical. What else more can we do. Judge denied us a kick out order so the unlawful detainer is in the works. How can she get away with destroying our home??? Should we can the cops again. We atleast need a police report for our ins company..we have done everything in our legal capabilities the right way minus knocking her the fuck out..it's scary...did I mention the voodoo doll of me???

| The people I babysat for put me on their taxes. (SC) Posted: 26 Aug 2020 11:36 AM PDT I don't know if you saw my last post about how the people I babysat for owe me $600. But I'm the same person from that and back in December when I first started watching the kid I was only paid twice ($6/h) in the month of December. And the kids mom asked for my full name so she could put me on her income taxes. But she most definitely does not pay me taxes, OR minimum wage. Also she says when she put my last name in, that it got changed to Hay (which is NOT my last name) so I'm guessing she just has some random person that doesn't exist on her taxes. Is this enough to report her to the IRS? Also they blocked my number about asking for my money, or I'm taking them to small claims court. So I guess it's my only option now to take them to SCC [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 01:18 PM PDT My family is on a 24 month family contract with Bell (we have 7 months left). We live in a large city, but haven't been able to get cell service to: certain areas of our house at first, then anywhere in the house, then anywhere in the backyard. We've raised this issue with them on October 2019, and since then they have escalated it to their technical team but have not been able to resolve it. After worsened cell service (unable to call from backyard), I've called back in August 2020 only to be offered $100 as reimbursement for the 'inconvenience' of not being able to make phone calls, on any of the devices, from our home. They admit that their technical team has been notified, but there is "nothing they can do". When asked about the timeline for getting this fixed, the response was that they don't know. For context, we pay ~$400/month for 4 devices. I didn't accept the $100 offer and I'm wondering if mobile providers are obligated to fix issues on their end. They also did not want to cancel the rest of the contract fees for us to switch providers. This means that we have to pay ~$400 a month, for 7 more months, for broken mobile service. TLDR: If a mobile provider has a technical issue on their end which results in me not getting the service promised, is the contract considered void? What rights do I have as a consumer?

| Township Put Speed Limit Flashing Sign Directly in Front of My Front Door Posted: 26 Aug 2020 06:35 AM PDT I live in a typical quiet, lazy suburban neighborhood. On Saturday I went grocery shopping and returned to find a 15' poll installed on the grass between the sidewalk and the curb. The township is telling me that they own that property and it's our job to maintain it. No one ever contacted us to let us know about this pole our to ask for our input. It just showed up. What's more is that the pole is not to one side of our property but is directly in line with our front door. It also ruins our curb appeal and impacts our property value -- no one looking at the home would see it as anything but a negative. I also live in NJ where property taxes are high and we JUST had a major increase in them this last quarter. Is there anything we can do about this? Would a lawyer ever consider taking on this sort of case under a contingency arrangement? It's a township with loads of cash and if this case were won I suspect there'd be a payout. We obviously don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars fighting a losing battle. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 10:40 AM PDT We're currently on a month-to-month lease on a property in Meridian, ID. We are renting while we wait on renovations on the house we purchased a few months ago to complete. At the time we signed the lease, we were told that we could rent as long as we needed, and that it was a mutually beneficially arrangement for both parties. We have been living here for the past 4 months with no issues, and the landlady has been always been friendly and responsive. One thing to note is that our landlady is our real estate agent's sister. Our real estate agent has also been acting as our general contractor on renovations. Ordinarily, we would not have wanted to mix all these things together, but his sister had a rental property coming available the same week we wanted to move, and it enabled us to make a purchase on the house we wanted without signing a 12 month lease elsewhere which we would have been responsible for subletting. We could not find a better rental arrangement or price when we searched, and we had (and continue to have) a very positive relationship with the real-estate agent/contractor. Because our landlady and contractor are siblings, we had assumed (correctly) that she had been being kept up-to-date on the timelines for our house, so we don't think she would have been unaware about any sort of delays. Yesterday, we got a text from our landlady saying that she had made some purchase offers on other properties contingent on the sale of the house we're renting, and that if she didn't sell before the end of September, she would lose a lot of non-refundable earnest money. She asked us to move out by 9/8 (which was 13 days notice). She said that, to her, based on our correspondence in July, it was not short notice. However, we never indicated anything beyond a rough estimate for when we thought our house might be ready, and certainly never gave notice of when we were going to break the lease. We checked Idaho state law, and it requires 30 days notice to end a month-to-month lease. We responded that while we would try to find an AirBnb and short-term storage, and coordinate a move before 9/8, we could not guarantee it because of how little notice we had been given. Outside of this rather abrupt incident, we have had a positive relationship with the landlady; we will genuinely try to figure out a way to move out by that date. However, if we are unable to, we wanted to know what our standing was so we don't wind up on our back foot in a bad situation. I have a few questions:
Any other general advice would be helpful as well. EDIT: thanks for the replies everyone, good to know we can't be forced out if we aren't able to move by the 8th. [link] [comments]  |
| Old Workplace Suing Me? CA, USA Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:57 PM PDT Hello /rlegaladvice, I'm a 23 y/o male who worked at a retail store for over 2 years. Last month I was fired under the impression that I was "stealing" from the company by "abusing" my discount and waiving fees to fellow employees that aren't normally free. Loss Prevention interrogated and accused me for 3 hours, which eventually led to me being fired. I got a phone call from HR regarding my final paycheck and he assured me that I did not have to worry about paying for anything. However, I was foolish not to record that conversation because I got this letter in the mail today stating that I owe the company $805.90 and that I need to pay through the law firm. The letter attached below stated that I did not pay for the initial settlement, but the thing is I never got anything in the mail. This is the first letter I've gotten from them about this whole situation. I emailed HR and my old manager today awaiting a response, but I'm not too sure what to do. I have 20 days left from August 21st to pay up and would like to hear any advice. I've been recommended to hear back from HR and ask for a list of what exact items that were "stolen". Thanks for your time and I appreciate any reply. Link to letter: [link] [comments]  |
| My fiancé wants to hire his friends to be our prenup lawyers (NY). Posted: 26 Aug 2020 06:39 AM PDT My fiancé recently told me that we will be signing a prenuptial agreement. At first this came as a bit of a surprise, but considering his assists compared to mine it makes sense. However I do have some concerns that I don't want to ignore. My fiancé is a lawyer himself and is hiring two of his friends to be our respective attorneys. He will also be covering both of our costs. At first, this seemed like a really considerate thing to do, but I have some reseveratoons. I'm worried that with my lack of knowledge he and his friends will take advantage of me. Are these valid concerns? Please forgive me for how ignorant this entire post sounds haha. Edit: I wrote previously that he is hiring two of his friends. I meant to say that he is hiring one of his friends to be his lawyer, and another lawyer that did his friend's prenup to be mine. Sorry for the confusion. I'm not sure if this still violates ethical codes. [link] [comments]  |
| My Former Roommate threatened to sue me for my house not being a good enough storage unit Posted: 26 Aug 2020 12:52 PM PDT Background: I own my townhome in Charlotte, North Carolina. My roommate has lived in one of my rooms since 2017. He's lived with me under a verbal agreement, as we were previously friends. We do not have any written agreements or written proof of our arrangement, only that I've accepted cash from him on a monthly basis. My girlfriend moved into my place August 2020, which we had been planning for many months, and which I had give him many months of heads up, and reminders. I told him he had until September 2020. He recently left to live with his parents but didn't take his stuff. He needs "many weeks" he told me. It is a small townhome and my gf and I would like to start our next chapter without boxes everywhere. I even offered to pay for a moving truck to get his stuff out quicker, because we were friends, and I wanted him out ASAP. For Context: In 2019, he left for a year and lived with his girlfriend. However, he left his stuff at my place in the bedroom he was sleeping in. I was fine with it, as he continued to leave me rent every month. I would find signs that he would occasionally come and go. For all intents and purposes, he was still living here, just not always physically here. He also installed his own lock on the bedroom door too, which I do not have a key for, and did not give him permission to do so. I never knew if or when he was coming back, so I continued living my life and receiving his payments. Then, in February 2020 he came back suddenly, and has since never left his room. Especially when COVID19 hit, and he was furloughed. Although he did continue to pay rent. He has paid for every month of rent since 2017, that is not the issue. Now that the September deadline is upon us, he is mad at me, saying that I am "pushing him out" and that he is going to price rental units compared to my "shitty storage unit" aka the bedroom he keeps his stuff in and sleeps in. And because he is mad, he has threatened to sue me for a prorate of the months in 2019 that he was gone. My questions for you all, preferrably legally-sound advice only please:
Thank you all for your feedback! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 09:04 AM PDT I was on a call with my mom this morning and she was telling me about a situation my dad was having at work, apparently the business owner applied for some corona money (I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the different grants, bail outs, other funds etc) when they received funds they began to give bonuses to their employees but have since demanded that these be paid back. Of course the employees are now paying back money that they have been taxed for. Is this legal or are they trying to pocket the money for themselves? What should the next steps be? My dad just doesn't want to lose his job. They initially said these bonuses were for them still working and then said it was in case anyone got sick (company is a truck dealership, we are in CA they never shut down) [link] [comments]  |
| My bf was shot. Scared of retaliation, looking for resources ���� Posted: 26 Aug 2020 09:03 AM PDT I have lived in the same apartment complex in California for the last few years. For the past year, I have been having issues with the drug addicted couple next door. Our entry doors were an inch apart and we were having issues with theft and harassment even after trying to befriend them and offering them food and help in times of need. Last month, I renewed my lease and moved to the other side of the complex to avoid any future issues. A few days ago, I arrived home from grocery shopping and found my old neighbor peering into my new apartment windows and circling our cars. My boyfriend (who is not on my lease) came outside to confront him. He pulled a gun on me while his gf harassed me and then he shot my boyfriend in the leg with his 45. My boyfriend survived and is healing but is left with a ton of hospital bills. The shooter was arrested and we are waiting on charges. My boyfriend is now out of work and does not have insurance. I am looking for advice on crime victim resources but they look scarce. I am also wondering if I would be protected in breaking my lease for safety reasons and fear of retaliation. The shooters family and the rest of the harassers involved in the shooting still live in the same complex where I am currently caring for my injured boyfriend. I am a road warrior for work so I have had to take time off to care for him. Long story short, I am scared and looking for options at this point. My boyfriend is currently living with me and we are hoping to move immediately but it doesn't look good for us as we just spent everything on the deposit to move last month. Nothing was documented due to poor apt management, however, we have the police report/hospital documents to use for any tentant/law issues I expect from the apartments. TLDR: my bf was shot, looking for crime victim resources to help with hospital bills/move from retaliation [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 05:23 AM PDT As the title says, my neighbour's child broke my drivers side car window with a rock while it was parked outside the house. The child admitted to this, and the parents online transferred me the £300 to get it fixed. They helped put a plastic sheet over the window and used lots of duct tape to hold it in place. The car was then sat on the drive all week while waiting to get it fixed. The following weekend, after having it fixed, I noticed some scratches to the paintwork, one of which is relatively deep and won't be able to be buffed out. I informed the couple who are not accepting liability on the grounds that it took a week to bring this to their attention (it was covered with duct tape), it could have been damaged at the hospital car park I work in (moot point as the car was on the drive all week) and that it could have been there before (it wasn't, but I guess I dont have proof of this). Is there anything I can do? Would there be any point in taking this to small claims court? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 01:02 AM PDT Y'all. This is crazy. I talked to this woman for maybe 3 months. I never actually met her and things just faded. Shortly after, I get text from her saying she's going to go to the police for me threatening her etc and I'm guessing someone took my pictures and acted like me? This was 2016. I was fairly popular at the time, I no longer have social media. Here's the kicker: She's a soft core pornstar/model. She now has half a million followers. She is currently posting on her story every 2-3 days saying I stalked her for up to a year after. She mentions my full name. Keep in mind, I hadn't even thought about this woman since then until I was sent a screenshot today of her posting a mugshot of mine from an unrelated college party incident. I have an open case right now and would like this to NOT effect this. What can I do to get her to leave me alone? I was thinking a cease and desist but who would I direct it to? I don't even know her name. I have her old phone number. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it considered kidnapping if you take your own child to evacuate? (Texas) Posted: 26 Aug 2020 07:25 AM PDT Going to preface this by saying it's my cousin and not me. My cousin and his girlfriend have a 7 month old kid together right now were under a mandatory evacuation order from our county because of hurricane laura. Me and our whole family have tried getting him to just come with us to evacuate however his girlfriend will not leave and he doesn't want to leave her and the baby alone. I've been trying to convince him to just take his son and run because what she's doing is child endangerment. Hes afraid that he would get kidnapping charges especially because he is an ex felon. Is what I'm suggesting to him illegal, and what might you suggest as a legal route to get his son to safety? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 10:55 AM PDT Ending our lease with this landlord has proven very difficult. Somewhere in the small writing was a clause that we had to provide 60 days notice before lease termination. We provided 30 days notice, because we're buying a house and just finally got all the numbers and closing date. Our landlord claimed that nope, that's breaking the contract, and we'd have to find tenants and sublet the apartment for 2020-2021. We had to get a lawyer involved and he found a grey area, where if we're out by the date the lease is over (08/31/2020) we would not have to find a tenant and sublet. He is now changing his tone and saying we must be out by 8/28, not allowed back on that Saturday to clean. Is this legal? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 05:19 AM PDT Hey, I'm located in Florida and my initial accident was 5/7/20. I was rear ended at a stop light. So following the accident the police were called and the driver who hit me was issued a citation for following too close, and we both drove home after swapping insurance and we both have Progressive. Anyways, following the accident I had my car repaired, went to 24 PT sessions and had two MRIs. The results were to the effect of 5 bulging discs, 2 herniated discs and one vertebrae with lumbar spondylosis (sp?). Currently I have no pain but I'm concerned about the long term effects. So I have a lawyer that is.. for the people.. and they said that progressive offered 10k which is the max on the other persons insurance policy. I'm just curious if that is standard for accidents because i always see adds for "so and so won me 500k"; or if I should consider getting a second opinion from a different lawyer. Thank you TLDR; got in an accident and lawyer said progressive offered 10k which is the "max", just wanted to know if that is legit [link] [comments]  |
