| I was raped by my Uber driver because I was drunk. Posted: 11 Jan 2022 05:55 PM PST It happened 2 months ago. I took an Uber because I was drunk and couldn't drive. I went to a forensic nurse to report it. Today, I found out I have chlamydia from the rape. I've never had an STD or STI before. I'm devastated. Can I sue Uber? My life has been destroyed since then and I can't leave my apartment. Help. [link] [comments] |
| Nordstrom lost my wife’s bracelet Posted: 11 Jan 2022 06:55 AM PST I bought my wife a Monica Vinader bracelet from Nordstrom for our engagement and after a year (within the warranty) we sent it in to fix the a part of the chain. The process was to take it to a Nordstrom store and they would send it to MV directly. After waiting 5 months and going back and forth we were told that the bracelet was returned to the store, but to another department, and the associate that received it no longer works there. Essentially, they have lost it. The bracelet has a huge sentimental value to us and it's no longer in their store inventory but another similar one is, and it's double the price. What can we do? Does Nordstrom have to give us another similar bracelet? [link] [comments] |
| Our "All-Inclusive" Wedding Venue Removed Their Food Options Posted: 11 Jan 2022 01:59 PM PST My fiancée and I are getting married October 1st, 2022 and signed a contract with a venue on February 3rd, 2021. We picked the venue in part because they were advertised as "All-Inclusive" and included catered food as part of the price. We drove out there multiple times to see the venue and try the food (we paid an additional cost for the tasting), which we really liked and were happy with our choice to get married there. We emailed them some questions a few days ago about the event and today, January 11th, 2022, they responded by telling us they are under new ownership and the new owners want to abandon the venue part of the business (they are also a golf course). It's possible they would have never even told us this change had we not happened to email them. They are not canceling the entire event, but stated that they are no longer offering the catered food service and that we will have to find our own caterers for the wedding. We are bothered by this because the "all-inclusiveness" of the venue was a huge reason we picked this venue, and they have left us scrambling for a caterer as many have already been booked at this point and we will likely have to settle for one, rather than get to pick one we want. It's also worth noting that we booked the rehearsal dinner at the venue the night before as well, so we will also have to find a solution for the rehearsal dinner now. The costs in the contract for food and the service staff have been removed, but they're trying to add $4 per person for plates, glasses, and silverware, and in addition to challenging that, we frankly want an additional discount as we feel like they've breached their contract and left us scrambling to find a caterer after booking one with them. My question is, do we have any grounds to challenge them for waiving the cost of plates, etc. and an "inconvenience" discount for leaving us scrambling for a caterer. We acknowledge it is possible we are just SOL, so I wanted to make sure it was worth having this conversation with them. We don't want them to cancel the contract entirely as we've sent out invites and changing venues now would cause a lot of issues, but we also don't want them to just get away with changing a contract (without even telling us) if there's something legally we can do about it. Thanks so much! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2022 03:24 PM PST Hello all, Thanks in advance for any guidance you might have. My sister (let's call her Pam) logged onto her personal and business bank accounts earlier this week and the accounts showed a zero dollar balance. Pam's multiple accounts should have totaled over $20,000. All accounts showed a "processing" transaction entitled, "withdraw." No other information was available on her online banking. She called the customer service number for the bank chain (locations in much of the Western US) and they said they had no information about the $20k being withdrawn from her accounts. They said her accounts were "frozen," though they could not explain why the accounts were frozen. They advised her to contact her local bank to determine the location of her money. Pam contacted the local bank, and the branch manager said that had no information about the accounts and she needed to contact cooperate customer service again. She contacted customer service and they told her to contact the local branch again. This back and forth went on for 10+ phone calls. Finally, someone within the bank was able to confirm her accounts had been closed internally by an unknown employee. The employee said the accounts had been closed because they were unable to reach Pam to confirm her contact information. Please note- Pam has always kept her information current on the bank's website, and she also receives bank statements at her current address, so they obviously have her contact information. The bank went on to say the $20k was mailed to Pam's "last known address," which was an address she has not lived at for five years. Keep in mind, the bank mails communication to Pam's current address on a monthly basis, so I have no idea why they mailed it to an address that shouldn't be on file anymore. The bank said they will not be able to issue Pam a check until the checks they mailed to the wrong address were returned to their possession. Once the checks are returned, they will issue my sister a check for the money they misplaced. They do not have any estimate on when she will have her money, and they are blaming my sister for not keeping them updated of her address. My sister is penniless and they are dragging their feet. Should she consult with an attorney? If so, what type of law should they practice? [link] [comments] |
| My Employer Failed to Fund Retirement Account! Posted: 11 Jan 2022 06:50 PM PST For some context, I worked for this non-profit in 2019 and have since transitioned to a new job. This past year I decided to consolidate my retirement accounts so I reached out to my previous employer to start the rollover process. To my suspicion, they informed me that they have an account with a considerable amount of funds sitting in it which they believe contained part of some of my pre-tax contributions which were never distributed to my retirement plan. After pulling my own data (by pulling transcripts from IRS), I realized that I was missing over $6K in my retirement account. The account is managed by MetLife. Their HR consultant has been giving me the runaround the past couple of months and despite her saying that she's working on it I have not received any of the funds thus far. She refuses to respond to emails in detail and instead states that, "she's working on it". She then tries to call me and goes in circles explaining all her troubles in getting me in the information I need, very strange. After speaking with Charles Schwab advisers, they suggested that I contact a the labor department as well as a labor/employment attorney to discuss my options. However I'm wondering if anybody has had this situation play out in their practice before? Am I entitled to damages based on the fact that the funds lost earnings and interest due to not being placed into my employee account within a timely manner? (The missing contributions trace back from tax year 2017) Any additional tips or suggestions are highly appreciated before I spend money reaching out to a labor attorney. Thanks in advance!

| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 07:32 AM PST I just found out yesterday that my full-time position is being "reduced" to part-time. I was told verbally, no official paper trail. The more time I've had to think about, I'm wondering if this is legal? If they outright "let me go" I'd get a severance plus be eligible for unemployment. By forcing me to go part time, I think they're hoping I'll quit (so they're off the hook) or that it's just a stepping stone to firing me so that I can't get a severance or unemployment. I'm also assuming I'll lose all my benefits when the change takes place (healthcare, 401k, maternity leave, vacation days) on top of a major reduction in my salary. I'm already looking for other jobs, I just feel like they're purposely trying to screw me over after 6 years of loyal service and I'm wondering if I have a leg to stand on here, legally speaking. I'm also 10 weeks pregnant, but my boss and HR don't know yet. So I'm completely f'ed in terms of maternity leave. Would it make a difference at this point to mention my pregnancy? Also figured I'd mention that the reason my role is being reduced is so they can "free up headcount space" for a new sales position. It has nothing to do with me as an employee and it sounds like they want me to keep up with my current work tasks since I do "such a good job" [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2022 12:45 PM PST I told my wife I wanted to get divorced and two days later she "moved" our of state with our daughter (20 months old) and does not plan on returning. I need help getting my daughter back. When I told her I wanted to get divorced I also said that I wanted to file for divorce together 3 days later. That day and she said that would not sign. I left for work and came back that evening to find that my wife and daughter were not home. I text her and she eventually text me back saying she needed a few days to figure her stuff out. That was 13 days ago... The day after she left I filed for divorce on my own. I was informed from the affidavit of the service of process that my wife's attorney contacted the cop serving the papers and said that my wife moved to Minnesota (I live in Colorado) and does not plan on returning. Her family is in Minnesota so she is staying with her mom and has told me over the phone that she is not returning. At this point I have not been able to serve her papers as her attorney is not officially representing her according to Colorado. On top of that, her attorney filed for divorce on her behalf the same day her attorney talked to the cop trying to serve papers and I was served papers about a week ago. I have confirmed with the courthouse that they will go with the oldest case filed for the same parties so I have not responded to the summons yet. I have filed a motion for full custody of my daughter while the divorce is pending and my wife can have supervised visitation rights every other weekend. The judge responded a few days later saying the motion was denied because I did not "incorporate legal authority" in my request. I cannot afford an attorney and no one can help me at the courthouse because it would be considered legal advise to help me understand what "legal authority" means. Can anyone help me out? My assumption is that I need to include a marriage license and possibly my daughter's birth certificate? Sorry for the long story... I am not sure what information is needed to help me out. At the end of the day, I just need to know how to get my daughter back. Colorado law states that neither spouse can take a child out of state unless they have the other spouse's permission or a court order. My wife has neither. My daughter and I have a really good relationship and I don't want my soon to be ex to ruin that. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 12:39 AM PST I hope this makes sense. I'm a part owner/member of an LLC. Our CEO owns 50% of shares, I own 30 and my spouse owns 20. We are all active members/employees of our business. Recently, we hired a accounting firm to help us develop a solid budget to grow and develop our business. Although my spouse and I have requested to be present during Meetings with the accountant, our CEO is meeting with him without us. I recently requested to view the budget, and I was told by the CEO that the CEO does not have to disclose any budget information to us or invite us to meetings with the accountant. CEO said that as majority shareholder/CEO, the CEO is the only one who approves the budget and does not have to disclose it. I was told to just continue to run the operations. I was also told by the CEO that I would be assigned a salary and that would be the end of that. In addition, the CEO has limited our company debit cards to have minimal spending limits so that we may not make purchases unless the CEO makes them. The CEO is also insinuating that there have been discrepancies in spending on my spouse's card, but will not elaborate further or connect us with the accountant. What rights do I have as a member/owner to view the budget and to meet with the accountant? I don't feel comfortable not knowing where my money is being spent. In addition, the CEO's spouse, who is neither member or owner, is attending meetings with the accountant and viewing the budget. I am in Texas. [link] [comments] |
| Is my old boss able to sue me over a Reddit post? Posted: 12 Jan 2022 05:48 AM PST I posted my resignation, my email quitting the job, and my boss' 2 following emails. I blurred out names but did not notice the company name in one of my boss' emails and accidentally left it in. Due to that, lots of negative reviews and emails have been sent to her company. This was absolutely NOT my intention. This woman has sent an email to me this morning threatening legal action against me due to slander/defamation. However, nothing was fabricated, nothing was exaggerated, I was honest about the entire interaction. The post has since been taken down, and it was taken down way before she even threatened me.

| My Driver's License has been suspended since 2013, and nobody knows why! Posted: 11 Jan 2022 07:36 PM PST I have an AZ Driver's License. It expires in 2050 -- but has been suspended since 2013. I happen to live in a large city now, where driving is a crutch, so I've never really needed a car before. I just take the subway or bus everywhere. However, this has not stopped me from trying to get my license reinstated from time to time. Arizona tells me that Nevada has a hold on my license. However, when I contact the Nevada DMV (even went in person) they have no record of this. Arizona has told me that the Head Office for all MVD affairs is in Sacramento, and that if Nevada truly can't find a record on the hold, then the Sacramento office could instruct the AZ office to reinstate my license. Everytime I call the Sac office they have no idea what I'm talking about, at one point they had me mail them a request for my driving record, and I got back a notice that told me they only send out records for CA Drivers Licenses, and that they have no authority over Arizona or Nevada. It has been 9 years now. I'm sick and tired of the fact that I simply "do not matter" -- there seems to be a glitch in the system somewhere, and I'm just not important enough for them to go out of their way to investigate. I want to sue somebody. But who? Who do I sue, and what do I sue for? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 07:32 AM PST This is actually not my husband, but a friend's. We're from France. I'm trying to seek any help, tips, etc. for her. She married a man from Italy, he was absolutely nice to her at first. She helped him get settled in France, find a job, learn the language, and so on. He's been here for almost 10 years now, and in March he's supposed to receive his papers to legally stay in France. They have two kids, 4 and 5yo. However he pays no attention to them, does not buy them anything, and can be violent. He'd raise his voice and hit them if they didn't put away their toys for example. He's absolutely manipulative, and he has admitted to have sabotaged her phone. Basically, whatever pops on her screen appears on his phone too: so he has complete surveillance on her every move. He knows what messages she receives, who she calls, what the calls are about, and everything. He has also put cameras all around their home, but also outside on the street (which is not legal but he said he doesn't care). We think he put the camera outside to see where she parks her car and who she meets outside, because he installed it right after she got her license and a car. She has never met his family, cousins or friends because he doesn't want her to. He's very secretive with his own phone, he even takes it with him when he showers. With her, he's very rude and inconsiderate. However, in front of other people he's the nicest man ever. He's very close to his family, whatever money he makes he sends it to his family in Italy. He only saves for them, nothing for his wife or kids. He probably works in black too since he has a couple of odd jobs. She has no clue how much money he makes because he doesn't tell her. He had a shared bank account with my friend, but he never put anything in it yet he'd use the money she put. She ended closing it, and he tried to blame her for it. He also tells the kids how bad of a mother she is and basically involved the kids in adults problems. She tried to report him to the police when she learnt about the spying thing in her phone, she explained everything I said basically, but the officer basically told her that she's an accomplice and that she could have her kids taken away from her. Now, my friend absolutely only lives for her kids. She got scared and retracted her complaint and now she's scared to do anything. What can she do? I'd love it if he could not have his papers because he's a manipulative asshole, but I know it might ne unrealistic. I'd like to at least save my friend from him and let her live a better life [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 08:17 AM PST I am living and working in Chicago, IL and I was laid off in September and part of my severance agreement was that COBRA insurance would be covered by my employer for the following 3 full calendar months. This never happened and I was required to pay the full amount for the 3 months with the explanation from my employer and their benefits group that I would be reimbursed from 'credits.' The COBRA provider when contacted had no idea what I was talking about regarding these credits and opened several 'cases' to look into the matter. After several months of cases being closed without contacting me or acting on the issue, and me calling back up, having the case reopened, and repeat, I was finally told that my employer had never submitted my severance agreement to the benefits provider, which the provider needed in order to pay for the COBRA benefits, and that I had to reach out to them with the severance paperwork for them to sign and submit. Once they did, the months of COBRA were then covered...mostly. During this time, my employer also fought contested my unemployment claim, as they did to all of my former colleagues who were also let go as a part of that round of layoffs, which was in direct contrast to what they verbally told me as well as laid out in the severance agreement. Now the 3 months where my COBRA was covered have passed. I had to pay over $1100 out of pocket to get covered for the months I was told would be covered, which I did so as I'm being evaluated for asthma and wanted to continue to be insured so as to continue treatment and evaluation. The total cost to me for the severance covered months was only about $240 and the remainder of the money that I paid was put towards future COBRA months. I never paid or agreed to pay for these months of coverage, and the reallocation of funds has been without my consent. I am now in the process of lobbying the COBRA provider to get my money refunded, but it is the same story regarding case being opened, told I'd be contacted and to not contact them, and then the case is closed with no update, or anything being done, only to call back and have another rep tell me "Oh that's strange. I wonder why it was closed like that. I'll open another case." On the initial refund call I was also told that I'd be provided with the paperwork to cancel my COBRA insurance which needs to be done via written mailed form. I have not received this form, and have been unable to locate one online. I've been trying this morning to get in touch with both federal and state labor relations boards, without luck. Should I keep trying? Do I have any recourse? Do they just have my money unless I want to engage in a legal battle? Every step of these interactions post layoff has been very shady and like pulling teeth. I do have emails however from my former employer and their benefits group rep detailing what they told me the procedure would be to get benefits and the reimbursement of my funds. I also have email confirmation that they did not intend to contest my unemployment claim for what it's worth. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 06:03 AM PST Driver of the pickup was cited for failure to yield with bodily injury and causing an accident. We contacted the office and they declined wanting the video of the accident as he was cited already. The pickup drivers lawyer is now wanting to talk to us and wants a copy of the dashcam. Are we required or obligated to provide this as he was cited and at fault. Please advise. [link] [comments] |
| Being investigated for fly tipping Posted: 12 Jan 2022 06:03 AM PST So after Christmas we ended up with a lot of rubbish/boxes in our garden and paid someone to move it. As u can tell by the title, they just dumped it on the side of a road in Manchester. Found letters with my mums name and address on it so obviously linked the tipping to her. She's received a letter saying that she needs to fill out a form and return it and the crime is going to go under investigation. Can she be charged for this or get jail time? What are we supposed to do? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 08:12 AM PST To set the scene, my grandad ran a few successful businesses and amassed a fortune of around to 10-20m in his youth. He broke up with my nan around 30 years ago and remarried 5 years later to a women 15 years years younger on a rich person dating site/programme (she was poor herself so spent all her money to become registered hmm). In honesty, she was really good to him for the first 20 years of the marriage caring for him quite well despite for obvious intention. A few years back he fell ill and ended up being taken to intensive care where we were told he had hours to live, after we were told of this she who shall not be named came back to the ward with an accountant to sign an urgent document. My grandad would then miraculously recover (but then would need to be taken to the care home for what ended up being the rest of his life). Arguments then ensued regarding what was so urgent that he needed to sign this document when he was on his death bed and this is when things turn sour. We simply asked her what it was as it could've been anything but we were then shouted at saying its none of our business and that we are greedy disgusting children for simply asking what was signed on his deathbed? This sort of bickering carried on for a while. Below are a few examples of sort of things we had to deal with - She would only visit once a week at the carehome despite my grandad crying asking her to visit more (she was a 5 minute driveaway), some mutual friends even said how she boasted that she got her weekly trips down to 10 minutes as she cuddles him until he falls asleep and sneaks off while he's asleep. - She never bothered to take him down any additional clothes despite him having just a couple sets of clothes which meant we had to buy him a whole new wardrobe as he would complain. - My uncle and she were drafted as the power of attorneys but she refused to sign this document which then meant a long legal battle between us to get these signed happened which consequentially ended in us falling short due to lack of funds. - She then moved house (illegally selling my grandads house which she did not own - we'll get onto that) moving out of area about 3 hours away and threatening to move my grandad into a carehome near her. Bare in mind she would only visit him once a week whereas our family who lived nearby the current carehome visited every day. Moving away would selfishly stop us from visiting him often in his last moments alive and who would've ended up lonely in this carehome never being visited. Unfortunately, or fortunately some might consider, he died a few weeks before this move. Fast forward a couple months post death there is the obvious proceedings with his estate where we found out some of the wrongdoings. - 500k cheque she forged while grandad was in his carehome to pay for the new house (on advise of solicitors this was made to be returned otherwise they would not represent her). - She was meant to make the banks aware of my grandads state who would then close some of the banking facilities, this meant that a system which meant that if her account went below a certain amount it would be get topped up 5k, this was only allowed to happen once a week but every day of the week without fail she would top of her account from his 5k - I know I haven't explained this point very well but our accountant basically said this was very naughty lol - She would often withdraw money from his account, my favourite being her withdrawing 10k each for her grandchildren and herself on the day of my grandads death just a few hours after - Again, I didn't explain this well but the accountant/lawyer who knows more than us said big no bueno to this. - We then found out that his will was changed 2 weeks before he went into intensive care where he was already showing serious signs of dementia and we have plenty of text messages as proof showing this concern prior saying we think he should be placed in a home. Also worth noting that she had her half of the original will a couple years before all of this when he was fine and she seemed to have no issue with it then... I can't remember everything but I've been told that there are about 1-2m worth of transactions which are potentially fraudulent along with the changing of the will which changes the status of some assets. So we have sent a long list of this to her solicitor who along with sending the reply back to the wrong solicitor has said that her client is now challenging the will (which she changed) as its not sufficient and showed that her husband showed lack of care or something to her so now we're expecting we're having to go to court. Ultimately, what I'm trying to find out from someone who knows more than I do what the likely outcome will be from I've said and potentially how long a process like this might take?

| Mother-in-laws basement renters squatting and taking advantage of the pandemic. Posted: 12 Jan 2022 08:09 AM PST Hello, everyone. I'm typing this from my phone so sorry for any typos. My mother-in-law rented out her basement to a couple about 6 months before the pandemic started. Before the pandemic started they barely payed on time and would never pay the full amount due. Once the pandemic started they completely stopped paying rent. They basically stopped paying rent and still don't pay rent till this day stating they don't have money. My mother in law understands we're in a pandemic and never said anything about the money owed since the pandemic started but they've switched out 4 different cars and constantly have packages coming. They become extremely violent when my mother in law asks for rent. She's terrified to talk to them or even approach them. She's called the cops recently and all they said was to stay out of each other's way. I get we're in a pandemic but these people are taking full advantage that she is a widow and that she's afraid to say anything to them because of how violent they get. She didn't allow pets yet they got a dog that continues to live there. She said something once but they just start yelling in her face and cursing her out. They also installed an ac unit without her permission. The ac unit outlet started to smoke so we called an electrician and they said the people who built the house used really cheap wires which could cause a fire if there is an overload. She also has issues with her cesspool where it backs up into the basement. She's had this problem once but since they moved in it's happed a lot more. They've refused to remove the ac unit stating one of them has asthma. When it rained in the summer they're room would get flooded with water because of the ac unit. They destroyed her lawn around that window completely because they tried to dig a trench so it wouldn't flood. They didn't even ask for permission. They've done other modifications to prevent the rain from coming in all without asking. They're also constantly complaining about things that need to be fixed down there and threaten her that they will report her if she doesn't fix them. She realizes this house is not in a good condition and can be a health hazard for the renters and herself but they refuse to leave all the while doing whatever they want. Is there anything she can do? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 07:42 AM PST In NH. My mother owns a home across the street from a lake. It's a bit convoluted but she is granted deeded access to a small parcel of lakefront land owned by the town, as are other property owners in the neighborhood. The homeowner across the street from the parcel contacted the town offering their professional services (civil engineer) to secure a state grant to improve land (there is a run off/erosion issue) if she could then buy the land from town for $1. We have seen emails describing this arrangement via a FOIA. The town went ahead with sale for $1 without contacting us or offering others a chance to buy as well. They executed a quit claim deed and the land is now private. The owner indicated in emails with town that she would be willing to let others use it but this is tenuous at best (she complained about some teens using it) and the property alterations she made now prevents launching a boat or accessing lake in winter by snowmobile. It greatly impacts our use of lake. And none of the neighbors have been formally notified of any of this My mother has decided to sell the house this Spring and I doubt we would be able to get this rectified through legal means before then. It will obviously negatively impact the selling price of the house as now closest access to launch boat, swim, etc are two public beaches about 3/4 mile away. Any advice on how to proceed? I understand the town saw this as a win for them as the erosion issue was rectified at no cost to them and they now get to collect taxes but how can they sell if we and others have right of access via deed? Does a quit claim deed absolve the town? [link] [comments] |
| My violent/psychotic sister is ruining my family, and don't know what to do Posted: 12 Jan 2022 05:23 AM PST Hello, I'm a 27 y/o guy from Spain, Tarragona, and I've been suffering the torment that is my sister (28 y/o) for way too long. It's a pretty complicated situation, so I don't know where to go, or what should I do, but I hope I can get some advice on which direction to take. I'll begin by saying that my sister is very aggressive and selfish. If everything is going well, she looks like pretty much your normal girl. But if she has a bad day and someone says no to a request of her, she starts screaming on top of her lungs, threatening to jump off the balcony... Things like that. She even tried to murder me once. She wasn't home and there was a package that had to be delivered. I overslept because of my depression (also broke my meniscus and felt miserable) so I didn't hear the delivery guy ring the bell, and once she found out that I didn't get her package... She turned into a scary monster. I heard her stomping upstairs shrieking like some movie abomination monster. She barged into my room, jumped on top of me in bed like some rabid animal, and started choking me. I don't know if she planned to kill me or not, but luckily for me, I had enough strength to struggle and push her away, and although she apologised later for her "outburst", I'm fearful with my life every time I have to confront her. And that's not the worst of all. The worst of all is that she's been slowly turning into an animal hoarder. My grandma has some land that my granddad left when he died, so my sister used the opportunity to build some animal shelter. Filled with cats and dogs. She also got a house payed by my mom and grandma so she can be independant and leave us alone, but the neighbour complained about the noise and smell because of all the animals she was bringing, so she stopped liking the house and came back to the family house. Fast forward to today. I'm practicaly her slave, she has 5 dogs in our house of various sizes, closed in a small room, or even cages if they're problematic. She barely has time for them, she works 8 hours, does 8 hours on that shelter she has, and barely has time to take them for a walk so they burn their energy/anxiety. I'm the one that has to take them to the terrace so they can pee and poo somewhere that is not inside the house while she's out for 16+hours. They're so nervous and energetic I can't take them for a walk, it's too time consuming and hard to control. I told her many times to take them to the shelter she has, so they can run around freely, but says she doesn't want the good dogs she competes in agility with stolen by someone else. So yeah, to not drag this much further, my sister is controlling everyone out of fear of what crazy thing she's gonna do. She gave my poor angel of a grandma depression because she spent all her savings with her, so she can have a house she doesn't use, and a land plot to make cages for her homemade animal shelter. My mom is also broke paying for whatever she needs (car bills, a van to transport animals)... and I'm fed up with taking care of her 5 highly nervous dogs that destroy everything whenever they are set free on a daily basis. I also have to clean whatever they break along with their pee and po. Also wanted to add that they are pretty noisy because of not getting their daily exercise, although no neighbour complained for some reason. But when they are noisy, my sister comes screaming and hits them too. But not to the point they are scarred or you can get evidence. I warned I would seek for legal action if she keeps doing what she wants, but she just told me that "they will laugh at my face" because all I say is bullshit apparently. Thanks for reading, appreciate anything, really [link] [comments] |

| Oklahoma: Filing for divorce, but husband has a contempt court date for owed back child support Posted: 12 Jan 2022 07:30 AM PST Sorry if my title doesn't make sense or this post.... But to explain, the 18th of this month my husband, whom I am filing for divorce from, has a court date for his ex that he owes back child support. Almost $13,000, the paper he was served says he will be held in contempt unless he can prove a good point why he hasn't been paying. I know he will not have an attorney, and I know he has no good point as to why. While we were together I offered soooo many times to pay it, however he wouldn't let me because he doesn't think she needs the money. Besides the point... Anyways, my attorney is filing paperwork for emergency custody today as well as the divorce, if he goes to jail for back child support how long is he looking at? And would that effect my case at all? If, God forbid, my er custody isn't granted, and he goes to jail on the 18th, would I be legally allowed to pick up my daughter? Or are her grandparents allowed to keep her in the meantime? (Also, this is my first time ever hiring an attorney so I'm not sure how it works as far as calling him just knowing that I would be billed for each phone call, which is why I am asking here. I'm already out of pocket $3000 plus $325 an hour, and after fleeing DV and having to leave my job my pockets are hurting) [link] [comments] |
| Should me and my girlfriend file for taxes as single or common law? (Canada) Posted: 12 Jan 2022 07:30 AM PST Me and my girlfriend first moved in together in May 2020. She was 17 and I was 21. She turned 18 in September 2020 and we continued living together until now. At first we were living with roommates, and the first time we were on a lease together was July 2021. Her family is saying we should file as single because filing as common law would cost us a lot of money and make us lose out on school credits. My family is saying we have to file as common law and if we don't the government can audit us and make us pay back everything we owe plus interest. What are the benefits and drawbacks of filing as single vs common law? Is there potential to get into legal trouble by filing as single? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jan 2022 07:25 AM PST Legally, does a landlord have the right to give other people keys to the property or tell people where the hidden key is? This is what happened. We had a guy show up to our house unexpected saying he was here to fix the central vacumm system in the house at 830 in the morning ( we were not informed of what time this guy was coming, only told that he might show up ) this guy does his job but then tells us that the landlord told him that if there was no answer to go to the back door and on the top of the door there is a hidden key and he can let himself in. Luckily my roomate was awake but me and my boyfriend were asleep. Can they do that, give people permission to enter our house like that. It makes me extremly uncomfotable kmowing this, that people could just be showing up and letting themselves in. This wasnt an emergency situation just something the landlord wanted fixed, we could care less about haveing a central vacumm system. [link] [comments] |
