| Laid off 4 years prior to retirement after 26 years with company Posted: 28 Nov 2021 07:23 AM PST Title says it all. Posting on behalf of a family member. He worked for 26 years, then the company decided to lay him off and told him it was because they were eliminating all management positions without any direct reports. Days later they post a job opening with essentially the same description as what his duties were but listed it as entry level. He had been written up once before maybe 3 years ago for something along the lines of having a bad attitude. I'm curious to know if this is considered age discrimination. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Nov 2021 05:56 PM PST I'm in Victoria (Australia) and have no clue if I had any legal grounds to hit him like that. I do feel bad but at the end of the day he touched me very inappropriately and aggressively said it was a joke... that I can't take a joke etc. It's been about a day, we were friends from work and he knows I have a partner (he's even met him), and I have just quit my job so I never have to see him again. When I told him I was so upset about the incident that I left he told me to grow up, and he said that I'm the one who assaulted him anyways and that I'm "gaslighting" him into thinking he's the bad guy. His dad is a cop. I don't know if he will actually press charges since he's in a pending court case for abusing his ex (when we were friends he said she was making it all up and I was stupid enough to believe him). Just wondering if I will get in trouble for this because I don't have the time or money to fight someone like him. Edit: "ex" friend now for obvious reasons [link] [comments] |
| My Friend Found Out Their Husband is a Pedo, They're Terrified they're Going to Lose The House Posted: 27 Nov 2021 10:16 AM PST So this will be a pretty lengthy tale. A friend of mine went into a seven-year relationship, five-year marriage with a guy who seemed great. My friend walked into this marriage as a homeowner with a mortgage. Nothing extravagant but a nice little house with something like 90k in equity. The spouse came in with nothing having just moved out of his parents' house. Well, here we are seven years later and a house mostly paid off when the husband falls for a sting operation on Grindr where he's set up to meet a 14-year-old boy to have sex. This was not immediately apparent to my friend who was told by their husband that they were set up in a sting operation for prostitution. Since they're in an open marriage, he reluctantly took out a small loan and bailed him out only learning about the actual charges later at which point he was made to move out and back in with his parents. All internet-connected devices in my friends' house were seized and it was thought to be more or less over and done with. Well, two weeks later my friend is woken up by cops beating on the door. He went to answer the door and was immediately placed in handcuffs as they searched the house. My friend was ultimately released and his husband was arrested for possession of a lot of very indecent pictures of children. Obviously, my friend wants to cut all ties with him and just move on with his life but my friend is terrified that, in divorcing the creep, he will lose half of his house which is his only real asset, and subsequently be forced into the new housing market that is substantially more tumultuous and just outright expensive. Is there any legal grounds for some variety of annulment that might circumvent such a loss given the extenuating circumstances? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 05:10 AM PST Basically, I only just found that the person I had for my ARD probation had ghosted numerous people and either no showed or called out nearly every day for approximately 10 months until he apparently left for another state. Myself and my lawyer have left countless messages with so many people to get no response until I hit a breaking point, called the main courthouse in the state capitol, and got a phone number that wasn't even listed publically, to get transferred 4 times and FINALLY talking to someone to find out I have 3 months remaining to complete the court fees payments for the ARD, and the community service requirement was never changed to taking classes like I was told would happen since my ARD started literally 1 week before the first shutdowns took place in 2020. Its a restitution based ARD setup and the restitution was already paid in full. I was told by the original guy (who ghosted/called out) that as long as the restitution is paid and he gets the classes set up to replace the community service, I'd be good to go, and the fees could be covered over time as long as there's consistency. Yeah, apparently not. I won't go into specifics on why I'm on ARD cause that's unrelated atm. It's a minor charge as is anyway The problem is, I have 0hrs done (cause I was told it wouldn't be needed given the situation and that it supposedly would've been swapped anyway) and thanks to financials over the pandemic, I'm still a few thousand away from paying off the court fees and I'll have to skip paying utilities (or less than half of the amount due) to get it paid by March, and that's assuming tax returns aren't super low... What are my options here? (Edit: Pennsylvania btw) [link] [comments] |
| What happens if a child in California refuses to go to their visitations? Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:43 AM PST Cousin has been refusing to visit her father due to his abusive past with her. However it is a court ordered visitation. My aunt was advised that she can indeed still get in trouble for not making my cousin visit her father. So I'm curious what the next step would be here if the father decided to take this to court? Is my aunt actually likely to get in trouble for what my 15 year old cousin in doing? Can the child themselves get in trouble for breaking a custody order? If they end up modifying the order, would they take or give more time to the father for this? Oh by the way, I'm asking from California, Sacramento county [link] [comments] |
| Messing with our right to receive mail...? Posted: 28 Nov 2021 06:26 AM PST Hi all! I think I already know the answer to this one but want to make sure. My husband and I are moving out of our current apartment complex and gave 30 day notice accordingly. About 10 days ago, we went to check our mail and found a long, green card that essentially stated the unit vacant and will not receive mail. Our name tag was also missing from the box. We did not remove it and did not file a hold mail, forward mail or let the post office know of our plans to move. Because we were still expecting important documents that we hoped to receive before the move. I removed the card the first time, but then it happened again a few days later. I called the post office and they said they had no idea what was going on and that, in fact, there were no holds or forwards on file for us. We checked the box the other day and found a note written on yet another green card from the mail carrier stating he's sorry and that our apartment management office told him that the unit was vacant (which is certainly wasn't and isn't until tomorrow). This isn't legal correct? It's up to the tenant to tell the post office what to do with their mail at every other place we have lived. I have receipts so there is very little chance this could be a misunderstanding. Thanks for any advice and insight on this matter. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Nov 2021 05:39 PM PST November 1st-I was crossing the parking lot close to the entrance of the Gilroy Costco, was almost finished crossing when the car that had stopped to let me cross accelerated unsafely, causing me to jump out of the way so as not to be struck. The driver made eye contact, flipped the middle finger, so I am concretely sure he was intending to assault me with his vehicle. I do not look disabled, but have a fatigue disorder, so I do not move quickly, and may have been taking to long to cross. This is the only reason I can think of for his behaviour. I stayed and filed a police report, which included the officer viewing a video of the incident that I did not view. The officer told me the plates were from a rental company, so the renter's details should be easily accessible, but the actual report I received in the mail lists no information--the second person is listed "unknown" Can I pursue this further? It seems the police didn't care, so I don't know how to find out the driver's name. Can I press charges, myself, somehow? How do I get the video for a civil case? How do I get the driver's name for a civil case? [link] [comments] |
| Father’s parents want to pay the child support/expenses Posted: 28 Nov 2021 07:55 AM PST My daughter is 5. Her father (26M) and I (24F) were never married, split in November of 2017. Since our split, he was originally to pay child support. He still owes over $3k after I changed the child support order. However, we just went to mediation and I got everything I wanted. However, he is supposed to be paying half of our daughters expenses such as tuition, extracurriculars, etc. he still hasn't paid anything. His parents are wanting to pay his share so he doesn't get in trouble. Are they allowed to do that? Cause it's been 3+ years now he hasn't contributed to her at all financially except once in March when his friend was there and he had to play the part of "big bad dad". I am planning on having his rights terminated because he no longer even sees her on his time away. His parents pick her up from me and drop her back. She hasn't seen him in weeks now. What can I do here? Can they legally do that? Will that interfere with his rights getting terminated? [link] [comments] |

| Garage lost the car. What options do we have? Posted: 27 Nov 2021 01:56 PM PST Hi there, friendly legal advisors of Reddit. I am posting on behalf of my mother and sister. I'm not entirely sure this is a legal question, but I thought I'd start here for any advice. If there is a better place to ask, please do point me in their direction. In May my sister took an internship in DC and took my mother's car with her from New York. Then, in late June or early July, the car broke down. The car in question is a ten year old Ford Focus, and was taken to an official Ford dealership in Maryland for diagnosis and repair. There it was determined that the car would need a new transmission control module. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and the worldwide shortage of semiconductor chips, finding this part has been like finding unicorn poo. However, after months, and my mother going full blown "Karen" on the poor customer service reps at Ford's head office, a part has been found. Now the bit I need advice for: The dealership has lost the car. It was left with them for months because it A) wasn't drivable, and B) they kept promising that the part was coming. They are checking to see if it has been moved to a storage lot, but if it can't be found, they're saying that it will have to be reported as stolen and go through my mother's car insurance. I'll be honest, this isn't really an option, as my mother had a stroke several years ago, and the modifications to the car that allow her to drive are more expensive than the current Blue Book value of the car. My question is, do we have any options here? Is there any sort of law or statute that would cover this, or anything we can/or should be saying to Ford about their responsibilities here, or do they really bear no responsibility/liability for losing a car they had possession of that could only be moved by towing it? Thanks in advance for any help you can give! TL:DR - Car went to Ford Dealer for repair. Dealer lost car and says we'll have to claim for it on our insurance. Is this right? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 27 Nov 2021 03:34 PM PST My brother (Mike for a fake name) is autistic. Hes 30 years old. My mom died about 4 years ago and he was sent to live with my half sister (Sandy for a fake name). Sandy is the oldest of us, and honestly none of the rest of us were equipped to take him in. Sandy is ultra conservative, and since I am very much the opposite end of that, once my mom died she cut me off from contacting Mike. She's also harassed me a lot but that's another story. My other half sister, (fake name Laurie) kept in contact with yer long enough to rescue our nephew, Laurie now has legal custody of him (thankfully). This was 3 years ago. Nephew is now an adult. Nephew just recently told us that about four months after mom died, Sandy sent Mike off to a facility. She has kept all of mom life insurance that was supposed to go to Mike. Hopefully she's actually using it for him. No one knows what facility he's at, no one knows if he's okay, or anything and I did reach out to her to ask for the facility name and address and she told me in no uncertain terms "no." (She wasn't as nice.) I have absolutely no clue how to go about finding him if I legally can even do that. We all want to be able to talk to him or at the very least just know he's safe and alive. Is there anything I can do? I'd prefer to go free/inexpensive routes first if that's even possible. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 04:53 AM PST I applied for a business credit about 9 months ago and was told that eventhough it is a business credit application they would still have to do a personal inquiry to which a agreed. A few days later, I was denied (very understandable because the business was new at the time) But I found out that they run 9 inquiries on my personal report which affected my score with a -54 points. I contacted them to let them know and also requested that all the inquiries be removed except for the 1 as described on their website. I have been calling them for the past 6 months and they always keep telling me that it has been removed but I still do see them on all my reports from all the bureaus. Now my credit is still being affected by this what should I do and how do I begin to proceed in resolving this issue? [link] [comments] |
| I made a death threat when drunk. How much trouble am i In? Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:35 AM PST Throwaway account for obvious reasons. So a few weeks ago a very very shady guy turned up to my ex wife's house to buy some shoes. He parked way down the street, he turned up with an AR-15. After he bought the shoes he sent this horrendous message a few days later saying the shoes are damaged and his daughter's birthday and life were ruined. It was really unnerving. My kids live there and it scared the crap out of me. I got drunk one night and texted him. Basically stupid move. I know where you live, don't threaten my family, look over your shoulder, you're dead. I don't even remember writing it. I get a text from him a few days later saying he was going to have me arrested and thrown in prison because it's a felony. I immediately told him I was drunk when I wrote it, I was very sorry, I did not intend him any harm I was just scared of him and what he could do to my family. He's not backing down. Have a ruined my life over this? I feel sick with worry. [link] [comments] |
| Opening a Safety Deposit Box After Death Posted: 28 Nov 2021 12:49 AM PST Hi all, My father recently passed away and he had a safety deposit box. When my mom and my dad both went to set up the safety deposit box, they had assumed that it was in both of their name (joint-lease). However, this ended up not being the case, and it turned out he was the only holder of the account and my mom's name wasn't on it, nor anyone else's (my parents doesn't speak English well so they didn't fully understand the whole procedure). This now leaves us with a huge problem. How do we get the items from the safety deposit box out now that he's gone? Can we even get it out? Any advice would help my family and I a lot! Thank you in advance! Edit: my parents are married, never divorced and he left behind no will [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:16 AM PST Currently renting an apartment in Jefferson county KY. Previously I had two roommates, however due to some disagreements one of them chose to move out. Without warning said person chose to begin moving out the first weekend of November and had the remainder of their stuff out by the 13th. However, a few days ago I was informed that said roommate failed to pay their rent for November because "they didn't live here". Can I be held responsible for this roommates failure to pay even though our lease says that the tenet leaving is responsible for their rent until someone new has taken over the lease?

| Pet sitting company refusing to compensate for property damage Posted: 27 Nov 2021 10:27 AM PST Oklahoma City, OK. We have been using the same pet sitting company to care for our two cats when we go out of town for the last 3 years. They come to our home every other day to clean the litter boxes, fill up the food and water bowls, and give the cats some attention. We returned home from our most recent trip on Friday evening to discover our kitchen completely flooded. The kitchen tap was running at full force and the water bowl had been left in the bottom of the sink which blocked the drain resulting in extensive water damage. The sitter had last been in our home on Wednesday evening. We contacted the owner of the company immediately who informed us that the company does not have insurance nor the means to cover the cost of any repairs. Should we file a homeowner's insurance claim? Do we consult a lawyer? And in which order should any steps be taken? We do have pictures and videos of the damage. Thanks in advance!

| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:58 AM PST My landlord is unable to make it to the final walkthrough of our apartment this coming Tuesday (the 30th). I know there's no legal requirement for him to be present for a final walkthrough, so in any case I plan to take lots of pictures/videos and email them to myself so they can't claim hidden damage to keep my security deposit. Since he won't be there, I won't be able to give him the keys back in person. Would it be okay to mail the keys back through certified mail? [link] [comments] |
| Boss fired me on Thanksgiving via email while blacked out drunk Posted: 26 Nov 2021 11:38 PM PST I'm working for a small start-up company, and I'm essentially keeping the whole show running. To put it mildly, my boss (the CEO) has a major drinking problem that leads him to send out the occasional verbally abusive, or downright degrading, texts or emails in the middle of the night. I've had enough and am currently on my second interview for another company. I'm currently on vacation for the holidays. At 3:30pm on Thanksgiving day, I get an email to my personal email address from my boss saying: "We have made the difficult decision to terminate your employment with (company name). Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy the rest of your vacation." I then check my work email to find that he has already locked me out of the company system. At this point, I just laughed at how much chaos this will bring the company, plus it saves me from putting in my 2-week notice that I already planned on doing in the very near future. I text him the next day just to see why he chose to fire me, and he has no idea what I'm talking about. After I sent him screenshots of the email, he tries to blame it on his ex-gf hacking his email and sending things like this to me and someone else (side note: followed up with that other person separately and that's a big ol' lie). He then said I still have my job and to ignore that email. I don't respond. An hour later, he texts me saying it was actually an ex-employee that had his email info and was mad that I took his old job. I don't respond. At this point, he's expecting me back at work on Tuesday, but I don't want to spend another minute working at this terrible work environment. What I want to know is: is that email from the CEO enough to not go back to work and claim unemployment until I start my new job? Edit: Thank you for all the advice! For added context… I got a promotion in September, didn't see the actual paperwork to sign that included a $5k incremental signing bonus until mid-October, and I still haven't seen $1 of it. Thinking of lawyering up just for this alone, so negotiations for more money can't be trusted. I also have lots of screenshots of texts and emails of him blackmailing employees for not doing as he says, being slightly racist, and him using a separate work phone number to text an employee impersonating a lawyer to remind him of a non-compete agreement (that the employee hadn't actually ever seen or signed). There are other examples, but essentially, proving this is a hostile work environment won't be a problem. Edit 2: Location is northern VA [link] [comments] |
| I was sexually harassed by my boss at work Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:30 AM PST So I work an entry level job in human services, ran by a nation-wide company. This last week, I got a bunch of inappropriate texts from a TextNow number, who I discovered to be my immediate supervisor. My boss didn't explicitly say "I am your boss", but over the course of 5 hours I got him to repeatedly say things like "so if I was someone you worked with", "so if I was your boss". He tried to tell me who he was without telling me who he was. He said things like "send a heart to whoever you think this is and if they reply with a heart you'll know it's them" and he did exactly that. He also described where his office was, and propositioned me for some "non-work related stuff in the basement" (where his office is). He really outed himself several times without verbatim saying it was him, it was actually almost comical because it was the worst attempt at being slick I think I've ever witnessed. I tried my hardest to get him to keep talking, without confirming or denying any actions I would take; I tried to stay as vague as possible. Of course he assumed that I wanted to do stuff with him regardless. The next day, he continued to text me from his fake number, insinuating I should come down to his office in the basement. I basically said "no one asked me to go down there" so he immediately texted me from his personal phone asking me to come downstairs. He had the lights dimmed and candles lit. I pressed record on my phone and got a 36 minute conversation where while he did not explicitly say it was him, when I told him we couldn't do anything, he said he understood. When I got a little more assertive, he realized I was recording him and started making it seem like he called me down there for work-related things. I called his bluff and he kept saying things like "I have a lot of children that rely on me" and that he "made a mistake and had a moment of weakness" and how he was looking for a quick fix with the problems at home with his wife. He also apologized. Again, he basically confessed without confessing. I have records of everything. I contacted the people I was supposed to contact and they asked me to send them the evidence I had, which I did. My question is, what legal action can I really pursue here, if any? I was caused extreme emotional distress—I genuinely feared for my safety (as I was imagining the worst going down to that basement, but was also scared to say no out of fear of retaliation of some sort from my boss). I'm not a bitter person, but this has disrupted my life in so many ways. [link] [comments] |
| Is it illegal to withdraw from someone else's account, if we externally linked our accounts? Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:25 AM PST My ex-wife and I ended up linking accounts at the time we were together. (context: we are foreigners and thought this would enable us to send money, not to pull money) I totally forgot about this. And today I realize that she pulled money from me. Is it illegal? I heard that once you sent a wire transfer you cannot "claim" it and it is lost for ever. Is the same also true of linked accounts transfers? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 11:03 AM PST I ordered a brand new Rav4 Hybrid from a dealership and on November 2 and they sent me the VIN number saying the car is ready for pick up any day now. 3 weeks go by and I don't get an update. I speak with the dealership and they tell me the car is delayed and I might not get the car. I call OMVIC and provide them with the VIN number and they tell me the car was registered on November 3. I spoke with other Toyota dealerships and they told me they only get the VIN number when the car arrives on their lot. This obviously means the dealership got my car and sold it to another customer for a profit. What actions can I take against the dealership? (I live in Ontario, Canada) All help is greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Does becoming a step-dad make me a legal guardian (in California)? Posted: 28 Nov 2021 11:01 AM PST Just curious if I can sign school paperwork, approve medical care, and otherwise make decisions for my wife's children - or do I need to legally adopt them (is that even an option if their bio dad has joint custody)? Are there other ways to achieve this? Both their bio parents travel and it would be helpful to be able to, say, approve medical treatment if their parents are out of town. [link] [comments] |

| My great-aunt is selling my deceased grandmothers things Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:34 AM PST EDIT: TO SAY THIS IS ALL IN FLORIDA okay some backstory and family tree because my life is complicated these days My (19f) father (46m)has divorced parents. My grandfather and step-grandmother are alive and semi-well save for an oxygen tank or two and doing their own thing. My grandmother on my father side passed away later October last year just days before her birthday on the beginning of November. Her husband, my step-grandfather, had a stroke in 2012 that left him paralyzed on the left side and he's now permanently in a wheelchair. Now that you know the backstory and family tree, here's the issue. It had only been two weeks since my grandmother died when my father visited their home and saw things missing. My grandmother traveled a lot and has lots of stuff around the house that she had planned for me and my younger brother (15) to have when were adults and have kids (if we chose that life). She also intended for us to have the house when they passed for us to do whatever. Well my father was looking around, missing his mother when he could se rings of dust where stuff had been taken. Not even an hour later, my Great-Aunt comes in and tells him to take what he wants. That's when we realized she's allowing people into the home to take what they want!! My dad was furious (and still is) since these are his mothers things. The straw on the camels back though is that his other aunt who also lives on the property that my grandfather is staying on, has a husband who just dropped dead. She wasn't paying her mortgage and her trailer home is now going to be taken by the bank. They had the bright idea to move into my grandmothers home (with my grandfathers permission) and put my grandfather in a nursing home. They've also decided to start selling EVERYTHING in that house. All of my grandmothers things, GONE. my dad got a hold of them through my grandfather and he's got them to stop selling and cancel on selling the table that I'm taking with me to a new home I'm going to move into. She's now called my grandfather since she likes to run her mouth and not say it to my fathers face directly, and say "if he doesn't come get her things soon it's gone forever" we don't know what to do because they live almost 2 hours away and we now have to find a way to get a whole house-full of things out before she gets rid of it all. I'm not even sure what they're doing is legal since it's my GRANDMOTHERS things and it's stuff she had before she married my step-grandfather Any advice? [link] [comments] |
