| Wife is threatening divorce after going to see her family for Thanksgiving Posted: 28 Nov 2021 12:41 PM PST My wife is currently in Maryland with my newborn baby. She went to visit for Thanksgiving with the baby and she sent me all these text messages saying we should move closer to her family and whatnot. I kept saying I don't want to, it's in the middle of nowhere, I would have a hard time finding a new job. Eventually I said I could move there it would just be a hard time finding a new job. Then we got into an argument and she started calling me toxic and I was like just like when you had the ultimatum to make me get you pregnant or else you were going to kill yourself. Now she is all sorts of mad and is pretty much saying she is gonna divorce me and get a lawyer and blah blah blah. I don't want to lose custody of the baby. She is a newborn. My wife had checked her self into mental health clinics before and even a mental hospital after having an event where she tried to run into the road and kill herself. I don't want to use those events as things to take the baby from her but... I don't want to lose my parental rights. Especially when she doesn't have a job, I feel like her family is putting up this facade while she is there visiting. Usually they don't talk to her or help her and stuff. This is a tough situation and I don't know what to do. [link] [comments] |
| Neighbor renting backyard for parties Posted: 28 Nov 2021 05:15 PM PST Hello everyone. I have a neighbor that uses an app to rent her backyard and swimming pool. It's every weekend sometimes twice a weekend. This has been going on for about a year. 6 months ago I spoke to a lawyer and he said we could file a nuisance complaint. Okay that's all well and good but unless it makes her stop it's of no use. I bought a decibel reader and began taking videos of the meter and the music with their backyard in frame. They play it so loud I can hear it throughout my entire house and even the other neighbors have told me it bothers them too. I have about 20 videos showing dbs way above city ordinance and have called the cops several times but they always come and tell them to turn it down, which they do but it's still loud enough to hear in my house. If I take them to court can I get a settlement to install sound proof windows and doors? I got her kicked off the app but she still finds business on Facebook. I also went to the police station yesterday and they said to talk to the police when they come out and tell it's been happening this long and that they should get a fine. Since they saw me talking to the cops yesterday they've been playing their music all day since 8Am to now 8pm at mid level as revenge. I want to get speaker and play loud heavy metal back but my wife stops me. In Florida btw [link] [comments] |
| Company changed wages on last paycheck without notice Posted: 28 Nov 2021 02:34 PM PST I posted about this on r/antiwork and a few have suggested I post here too. My husband started working for a company in a production position with the agreed upon rate being $17.50. He worked for an entire week and then only the following Monday after that, decided he didn't like it and quit. His check for the first week shows the agreed upon rate, but his last check for that Monday they reduced his wages to $8.80 with no notice. We looked in the company handbook he was given and there is a part that states "the company is not required to pay the full salary in the initial or terminal week of employment" but does that mean it is legal for them to do this? We are located in Ohio. Any advice would he sincerely appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 06:44 PM PST I witnessed it once this past July, he claimed he only had 1 beer but I had a bad feeling he wasn't being honest. My son told me just now, his dad was so drunk that when they got home, his dad passed out in his bed and my son had to sleep on the couch. He mentioned since then, his dad has been visibly intoxicated on a few occasions when they have left sporting events (that are over 30 miles away) and my son felt really afraid and unsafe. I'm freaking terrified that my son is going to end up hurt due to his fathers drinking problem. What should I do? Or start doing to keep my son safe? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 02:08 PM PST It's been a really tough day here. We are stuck on the wrong side of a cross country move with our lease preparing to be up EOM. We had hired a moving company to move us and they were supposed to pack today. That didn't happen. Was quoted 5.8k for the move after doing a video walk through with the company, taking measurements live on a video call. When the movers showed up (a day late!) they walked into the apartment and said it was at least double what space was allocated (not sure if this is actually physically true) and we would have to pay 11.9k for the move, a massive jump and well out of our range. When we said no, they just left and didn't do anything. The brokerage is refusing to pay back our 3.4K deposit because the movers showed up here. I'm unable to attach the estimate agreement signed here - curious if there's anything we can do? As of right now we have no mover and our lease ends Wednesday. Not sure what to do, options for replacement movers are limited with holidays etc. they are clearly taking advantage of the situation to price gouge here. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 05:12 PM PST My parents have jumped off the right end of the political spectrum. Fine. They refuse to get vaccinated against Covid. My child is 2 and I have been refusing to let them see her because they refuse to be vaccinated. We lived with them from her birth to December 2020 but have been living in our own apartment since then. They have seen her maybe twice in person during that time. With the holidays I am going to have to tell them that they will not be seeing her period because they are not vaccinated, instead of just for the event in question. This will likely cause an uproar and I want to prepare. Her dad is not in the picture (I was raped) so only I am objecting to them seeing her. Can they sue for grandparents rights? And would they have a case? [link] [comments] |
| Is it legal in Ohio to fire someone for discussing pay? Posted: 28 Nov 2021 07:24 PM PST Hey guys, so I have a question and I hope you're the right ones to ask. I'm currently working at a vet clinic as an assistant(we'll keep it anonymous) and while I enjoy my job and I feel satisfied with my pay, a situation occurred a few months ago that really irked me and I've returned to think about several times. I was talking with the other assistants, and the topic of pay came up, and sure enough, we all found out we were being paid vastly differently. The next day, I was pulled into management's office for questioning because one of the assistants had complained about the pay disparities. I was told in no uncertain terms that discussing pay was not to be allowed in the office, and that it is grounds for termination. Now, I looked in my handbook that was given to me and didn't see any mention of this, but hey maybe I missed it somewhere and signed something saying that I'm okay with that policy. This really bothers me however, as I've always been told that not discussing pay is just something corporate does to disadvantage you and it wasn't wrong. For any legal experts familiar with labor laws in Ohio, is what my manager was saying legal? Could I really get fired for discussing pay? Even if I might have signed onto it when I was hired? I like my job and my coworkers, but this always just felt off. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 12:24 PM PST Virginia (Chesterfield): We bought our house 5 years ago and the survey showed that the fence of the neighbor directly behind us is encroaching onto our property by an area measuring 6 feet by 15 feet. This section of our property is also part of a utility easement. We didn't make an issue of the fence encroachment right away because those neighbors were known to be very nasty to deal with, so we decided to wait them out. Those neighbors did sell their property last year. However, the new neighbor has begun dumping his yard waste (dug up dirt and leaves) over the fence into our wooded backyard and will not stop despite being asked several times. We're ready to take legal action on both the dumping and the fence encroachment, and would like to know (1) if we should report the dumping to the police or any municipal authority that could impose fines on the neighbor; (2) whether we should be gathering video evidence of the dumping into our yard; (3) what steps to take toward petitioning the court to compel the neighbor to move his fence; and (4) whether anyone can recommend a good land use attorney in the Richmond/Chesterfield, VA area we can retain. Many thanks for any guidance you can share. [link] [comments] |
| My half-sister(8) is at her aunt, and she won't give her back Posted: 28 Nov 2021 04:35 PM PST Well long story short I live with my dad, little sister, and little brother. And since it's Thanksgiving break, (school was out on Wednesday - Friday) my sister said if she can go with her aunt and of course my dad said yes. Now, I don't talk with her side of the family a lot so I had no first impressions, so I just kept it at that. That's when my dad told me she lived 5 hours away, I was a bit surprised, but my dad said they would meet half way. Anyways they got her and everything was fine dandy. Eventually it was Sunday and we were going to pick her up because she has school. I woke up early and saw my dad on the couch with his hand on his forehead. The conversation went like this: (For the sake of the story my sisters name will be jessie) Me: "aren't we going to pick up jessie" Dad: "Her aunt won't give her back. and I don't know where they live" Me "Oh.. uhhh.. what about school" Dad: "I've talked about that to her but she wants her." Me: "well that's a problem" Dad: "yep, I might need to get a lawyer" Me: "oh" Dad: "yeah" And from there we just went about our day, now I tried to contact Jessie directly because her aunt won't let us talk to her. And frankly I don't know if we can afford a lawyer now. So I came to reddit, what should we do? Fast edit: I was talking to my dad while writing this and told me some recent news about the situation and said that jessie is with her mom (my step-mom) now. Honestly not sure how that works because her mom has a complicated transportation situation. So currently jessie is with her mom, and my dad doesn't know where she live either. [link] [comments] |
| Brother’s part of an estate was “taken” by the IRS while our father had control of the money Posted: 28 Nov 2021 01:42 PM PST USA - Tennessee original filing, family in Louisiana now I am looking for advice for my sibling. He is recently set to start college and asked our father for the money left for him in our grandmother's will set for education. Apparently over the last 2 years he's periodically asked for the money and our father always said no since he wasn't starting college yet. Our father has now said that he doesn't have the money, and the IRS took it. The claim is that when his father passed away, the IRS came after him for his father's business/estate (which part of the business NAME was left to our father, but it wasn't worth much). What we do know is our father is terrible with money. Has for as long as I've known (parents divorced when I was younger). What we know is in the probate filings, it's listed that my father "shall maintain said shares, which is the sum of, to be used for education purposes as provided in (something, it's hand written and I can't tell) of defendants will" So, A - the filing makes it seem like our father was straight given the money, on honor code to keep it which, everyone should have known he wouldn't have and B - the IRS could have potentially taken it (if it's true) Is there a suggestion of action for my brother? Our father is basically going "well, sucks to suck" and won't own up to it and blames the IRS. TL:DR - my father spent/gave to IRS the shares of the money our grandmother left to my brother when he was a minor. Is there action he can start to look into to get this money or is it a lost cause?

| Break lease due to medical emergency - premature baby in NICU? Posted: 29 Nov 2021 04:03 AM PST I unexpectedly had my baby 10 weeks early and he will stay in the hospital NICU for several weeks. I was already planning on moving to be closer to my doctor/hospital in a neighboring city while I was pregnant because I had a previous pregnancy loss and some pregnancy-related medical issues. I planned to just pay the rest of the rent outright while paying rent on my new place. I told the property manager about this several months ago, the notice to vacate even has the 'reason' as to be closer to the hospital. Now that my baby was born (and I am recovering from an emergency c-section) I have to drive to the hospital multiple times a day to bring breastmilk to the NICU. This will go on for at least several weeks. I am also going to be buried in hospital bills. In addition, my baby has a severely compromised immune system and the neighbors smoke weed every single day and it permeates the apartment. The carpet is also disgusting and (I am guessing) would be very unhealthy for a premature baby to be around. I rented the apartment for almost three years and never missed a rent payment and was a perfect tenant. Is there anything I can do as far as legal advice for getting the landlord (leasing company) to waive or lower the cost of the remaining rent? It would be all of December's rent, January's rent, and half of February's rent. I'm going to turn in the keys and talk to them today. Location: OK - US [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 07:02 PM PST Background information: I live in Northern Viriginia. I have two dogs. My care instructions stated that one is crate trained, and the other is not. The non-crate trained one is a pandemic pup with separation anxiety. I booked a Rover stay with sitter in October for the Thanksgiving week of November. Partner and I traveled 5K miles away while sitting took place. Why I booked the sitter:
The Stay:
Post Stay:
Here's where I could use some legal advice:
TL;DR: Rover sitter did not provide adequate care to dogs and they destroyed carpet as a result. Sitter is now requesting that I pay for the damages caused while the dogs were in her care. [link] [comments] |
| Can I sue my uncle from a 3rd degree sexual assault of a minor 8 years later? Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:43 PM PST When I was 11 in 2012, I was sexually assaulted by my uncle. He was also molesting several other of my friends and was charged with 3rd degree sexual assault of two children. There were others, but they were too scared to tell the police. He's been registered as a sex offender since 2013 and it will expire in 2028. He's been cheating the system and doing "religious work" in third world countries building houses and helping children and I just know that he is continuing to molest other kids. I've been suffering with severe anxiety, depression, and PTSD from the assault to this day. I have been in therapy since the incident and still haven't fully recovered. I didn't even know it was a possibility to sue him until now, and I was wondering if it would even be worth pursuing anymore? He's still a harm to society and it bothers me he didn't receive the punishment he deserved as he was bailed out a year into his sentence. Edit: If it helps to know, I am still in contact with multiple of his victims from childhood and they would be able to get their stories out there. It also occurred in Nebraska and I currently live in Nevada. [link] [comments] |
| As a worker in a clothing store, can you be forced to stop people from robbing the store? Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:27 PM PST My friend who lives in California recently got a job as a shelf-stocker in a small clothing store in a mall. On one of her first days of working somebody came into the store and stole a couple shirts. Her boss says that it's her responsibility to stop people from stealing and that its her fault. Her shift was taken away today and from the looks of it, she's going to get in some sort of trouble over this. Is there not some kind of law that says it isn't an employees responsibility to deal with shoplifting? Seems unfair to force a small female to intervene when someone (who could be armed or just dangerous in general) is stealing [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2021 02:57 PM PST Law in question. "It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, pretending or professing to tell fortunes by the use of any subtle craft, means or device whatsoever, either by palmistry, clairvoyancy or otherwise, plying his or her trade, art or profession within the State of Oklahoma, to make any charge therefor either directly or indirectly or to receive any gift, donation or subscription by any means whatsoever for the same." Would a disclaimer saying that "these reading are for Entertainment purposes only and should not be consider fact or accurate." That way my sister can do this rntertainment without violating the law because she has directly stated that they are not fortunes but a show you are paying for? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Nov 2021 05:46 AM PST My ex was served divorce papers 11-1 by our local sheriff office, his time to respond to those was up on 11-22 with no response. I know he has to next be sent a letter to notify we are moving forward with an uncontested divorce and he then had additional time to respond. My question is can he ignore those papers and then go to court and contest the divorce? The only thing he does not agree with is paying child support he does not care about the rest of it. He does not have a lawyer and has stated he will not get one until we have a court date and he will ask for an adjournment to give him time to get a lawyer. Located in NY [link] [comments] |
| Background Check company requiring proof of self employment when my bf was doing gig work Posted: 29 Nov 2021 05:42 AM PST Long story short: my bf got a job after two years of not having one (he was focusing on school, health, and doing some digital art on the side when people put in orders). The company that is doing his background check is hung up on his time when he wasn't making enough money as a freelance artist to have to file anything and he didn't have to have a business license for the digital art commissions either. they are insisting he send these tax forms and licenses in to them, but he doesn't have them obviously since he never made enough with those gigs. i was the main provider for those 2 years. will this affect his chances of getting the job? he's really nervous and stressed about it. he sent a professional email explaining how he doesn't have those forms because he didn't earn enough and we think that will be good enough for the company to let it go but what if they don't? are they allowed to stop him from getting this job just because they can't fathom he didn't make enough to file taxes or need a business license?
