The policy states that between x:xx time cars cannot be parked in certain lots and between x:xx time cars cannot be parked in other certain lots due to snow removal from all the parking lots.
After the storm my wife, who works from home some days, was not available to move her car during these very specific times for plowing. When she was able to get outside and move her car she was advised by representatives of the property management company that she gets a pass this time but next time they will fine us $50 if they have to text us to remind us to move our car and $100 if the car isn’t moved in what they called a “reasonable timeframe”.
Nowhere in my signed lease does it mention anything about moving cars for snow removal or reference any policies regarding snow removal or fines.

Due to the pandemic, our venue has started rescheduling May, June, July, and August weddings. We are trying to reschedule ours, and are faced with the following challenges:
1. On our call last week, we were told of multiple September dates being available. On our call today, only one September date remains. Our coordinator told us they were rescheduling chronologically and we would be able to pick dates within our wedding month in 2021. It appears they are not following their own process - where did those other September dates go?
2. September 5th, 2021 is available, but the venue is charging 2021 pricing to rebook. This would be a 30% increase on what we are paying in 2020.
3. Force Majoure has been applied to May, June, and July, but not August and September as of yet.
4. Our contract really does not leave any room to cancel without engaging in a legal battle.
I'm wondering how we can negotiate or find a way to move our wedding to 2021 without incurring this astronomical pricing. It feels we are trapped on both sides (if we cancel, we lose money, if we reschedule we lose money).
We have set up a call with the COO of the venue to try and negotiate... any tips are appreciated. | Need Help with Rescheduling 2020 Wedding | contract | 1 | train | Need Help with Rescheduling 2020 Wedding

Last winter, we had a mice issue. We called the property owner and sent in the work order. It was taken care of quickly and we didn't see them again until this January. We called and had them set traps and it was caught. However, shortly after this, more mice were seen running around. We repeated the process. No mice were caught.

I explained this to the property manager and asked if there was a way for them to reimburse me for the time I had to stay out of the apartment or the time I would spend cleaning up after it (it also chewed on the walls, doors, and desk in my room).

The usual way happened to be across a small bridge that a state inspector had condemned for a very long time before our county finally decided to close it to bring in contractors to repair it (though there really hasn’t been much progress in almost a year) and our detour took us through several miles of unmarked dirt roads through forest service land, and another bridge that quickly had to be shut down because it was unsafe (meaning more detours through crappy dirt roads). I try to be understanding because we’re in a poor part of a poor state so there’s probably not much money there to do maintenance with, but I’m very worried that this is becoming a serious safety issue.
The dirt roads are very narrow and winding, so meeting a car going the other direction is rather dangerous, with more than one person ending up stuck in a ditch trying to avoid a car.
Between a few heavy storms and all the traffic of our community using the dirt roads, they are now full of potholes and the county won’t send people to re-grade them anymore.
And between the state of the road and the poor signage marking the detour I’m very worried that in an emergency, ambulances and fire trucks wouldn’t be able to reach us in time, if at all.
To the best of my knowledge no one has been injured yet but I’m worried that nothing will be done about this until someone get seriously hurt and sues.

I've told my managers a total of about 5 times. It would've been fixed had the store manager let yea assistant manager just add in the hours, but they decided to go through HR. I followed up multiple times about that and most recently, about a month ago, I asked again and was told they'd just add in the hours after all because they were having a hard time contacting HR. But this never happened. I'm tired of bringing this up and feeling like I'm nagging and yet nothing changes.
Today I finally called for myself and was given a phone number for "Mrs. X" the zone payroll coordinator. I called and got a full voicemail box for "Mrs. Y" who I guess is the new payroll coordinator. The voicemail instructed me to email a certain address, so I did, but what now?

1,424,549,659 | https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/2woqpo/breaking_lease_due_to_failure_to_have_repairs/ | 2woqpo | I have been living in my unit for about a year and a half. Our current lease is up at the end of August. Our first year was fairly uneventful, although the apartment is not in great condition. When we have needed repairs, the landlord does the absolute bare minimum to satisfy the request. We rent from a management company and it is obvious that they work to have everything just within code, and nothing extra, in order to maximize profits for their clients (the building owners). We have a number of code violations, which the landlord has failed to address, so I am trying to figure out the best plan of action.
**The issues**:
In the past few months, things have just really started to fall apart. We live in an old brownstone in the garden level unit. We have had two separate leaks, one due to rain in December, and one current leak (started 10 days ago) due to melting snow/ice. The landlord did nothing about the rain leak and so far has done nothing about the new leak. They claim that they can’t do anything until all the snow and ice outside has melted. That may be true, but this leak has revealed extensive water damage, likely from years of small water drip that we did not notice. It is mostly occurring in our coat closet and you can see that the landlord had boarded up the damaged drywall in the past. The current drip is so bad that the drywall has basically turned to mush and the board has fallen out. I think this is clear evidence that the landlord knew about the leak before we moved in and did not do anything to weather proof the unit.
We also are having ongoing heat issues. The apartment has drafts and is not properly insulated. The heat is working, but our space does not get above 62 degrees at night or day, which is less than what the housing code requires. The landlord wants to get us a space heater, but we have also had some electrical problems with lights burning out and regular appliances faulting the circuit, so I am not sure if this is safe (never mind the fact that heat is supposed to be included in the rent and the space heater would jack up our electric bill). Finally, we have had issues with our front door getting stuck and we can’t open it. I had the maintenance guys fix it, but I realized after they left that they simply took the weather strip off the bottom. Needless to say, our heating situation has worsened. I informed the landlord of this and it’s been a week now, no action.
**Steps I can take?**
I sent a letter to the landlord, certified overnight, stating that we will begin to withhold rent, starting next week, if these issues are not fixed. I gave them until close of business on February 24th. They came the next day and I walked through the unit with them, point out all the issues. I was informed that they can’t do anything about the leaks until spring and that they will decide how to deal with the heat, after an electrician evaluates the unit. Three days later and they’ve sent no one over to our unit. They haven’t even fixed our door, which is quite clearly a major part of the heating problem. I have documented everything, including saving PDFs from their own online maintenance request system. We’ve taken lots of pictures. I have maintained a journal of the temperature in our apartment and conversations I've had with maintenance guys or the management. We also have pictures of water damage at the location of both leaks, from our move in 18 months ago (as part of our documenting the unit's condition). At the time, we thought it was an old issue and assumed the landlord fixed it. There is a clear story shown here of the company ignoring problems we notified them of or not adequately fixing the issue.
I’m pretty sure they can’t sufficiently fix everything (especially the leaking) while we are living here and likely not until spring either way. If things aren’t magically fixed by Tuesday night, we will put March’s rent in an escrow account and send a certified letter to the landlord explaining our decision to withhold rent. We are starting to think about breaking our lease, but want to make sure we do it properly. Here are my questions:
1. I have read that the landlord has 30 days to address structural problems, like leaking. It’s been 60 days since our December leak, but we also aren’t currently having water come through here (it only lasted for ~12 hours). Does this count as an unresolved problem, since water will inevitably leak in the future, as evidenced by the water damage?
2. In terms of our newer leak, it has only been 10 days, but can I claim that the landlord knew about the problem when we moved in? If yes, then this has been left unresolved for well over 18 months (when we moved in) and likely they’ve known about it for years.
3. It has been 30 days since we first told them about our heat and 10 days since I began pestering them about it again. I think the landlord will claim they thought they fixed it 30 days ago and only became aware it was still an issue 10 days ago. A landlord has 24 hours to address heating issues, but I am wondering if this is technically a structural issue (unit is not weather tight) and therefore the landlord would have 30 days? We do technically have heat coming out of the baseboard.
4. As everything stands now, can we claim that the landlord has already violated the warranty of habitability? Or should I wait until 30 days has passed, since we began to have water leaking in our entryway? I don’t want to move too quickly and have the landlord claim that they haven’t had a chance to fix the issues.
5. I really *really* want to avoid going to court, if at all possible. However, I am afraid to sign a new lease and then have our current landlord pull us into court a month later. I think we’d win, but the nightmare situation would be that the judge decides we can’t break our lease and then we’re stuck renting two units. Is it unwise to break the lease without going to court?
6. We will be calling the city next week to send an inspector. Is there anything I should consider before doing this?
7. In terms of security deposit, the landlord has 30 days to return this after the end of your lease. Does our lease still technically end August 31st, if we move out early? Or does end when we move out, having broken the lease? Does the landlord have to return our deposit on last month’s rent, even if the lease says we forfeit this by moving out early?
Sorry for the wall of text followed by 30 questions. I appreciate any and all tips! I should emphasize that my ultimate goal at this point is to just get out of this lease ASAP, unless the landlord magically fixes/renovates everything.

Edit - words/details
| El arrendamiento actual se encuentra a finales de agosto.Nuestro primer año fue bastante irregular, aunque el apartamento no está en buenas condiciones.Cuando hemos necesitado reparaciones, el propietario hace el mínimo absoluto para satisfacer la petición.Alquilamos de una empresa de gestión y es obvio que trabajan para tener todo justo dentro de código, y nada más, para maximizar los beneficios para sus clientes (los propietarios de la construcción).Tenemos una serie de violaciones de código, que el propietario no ha abordado, así que estoy tratando de averiguar el mejor plan de acción.**Los problemas**: En los últimos meses, las cosas han comenzado a desmoronarse.Vivimos en una vieja piedra marrón en la unidad de nivel del jardín.Hemos tenido dos fugas separadas, una debido a la lluvia en diciembre, y una fuga actual (empezada hace 10 días) debido al derretimiento de la nieve/hielo.El propietario no hizo nada acerca de la fuga de lluvia y hasta ahora no ha hecho nada acerca de la fuga.Eso puede ser cierto, pero esta fuga ha revelado extensos daños de agua, probablemente a causa de años de pequeños goteos de agua que no nos dimos cuenta.Está ocurriendo principalmente en nuestro armario de abrigo y se puede ver que el propietario había abordado el drywall dañado en el pasado.El goteo actual es tan malo que el drywall se ha convertido básicamente en mush y el tablero se ha caído.Creo que esto es evidencia clara de que el propietario sabía sobre la fuga antes de que nos moviéramos y no hizo nada para probar el clima de la unidad.También estamos teniendo problemas de calor.El apartamento tiene borradores y no está correctamente aislado.El calor está funcionando, pero nuestro espacio no llega por encima de 62 grados en la noche o el día, que es menos de lo que requiere el código de la vivienda.El propietario quiere conseguirnos un calentador de espacio, pero también hemos tenido algunos problemas eléctricos con las luces que se queman y los aparatos regulares que fallan el circuito, así que no estoy seguro de si esto es seguro (no importa el hecho de que el calor se supone que se debe incluir en el alquiler y el calentador espacial levantaría nuestra factura eléctrica).Hice que los chicos de mantenimiento lo arreglaran, pero me di cuenta después de que se fueron de que simplemente quitaron la tira del tiempo de la parte inferior.No hace falta decir que nuestra situación de calefacción ha empeorado.Informé al propietario de esto y ya ha pasado una semana, no hay acción.**Pasos que puedo tomar?** Le envié una carta al propietario, certificada durante la noche, diciendo que empezaremos a retener el alquiler, a partir de la semana próxima, si estos problemas no se arreglan.Les di hasta el cierre de negocios el 24 de febrero.Llegaron al día siguiente y caminé por la unidad con ellos, señalé todos los problemas.Me informaron que no pueden hacer nada acerca de las fugas hasta la primavera y que decidirán cómo lidiar con el calor, después de que un electricista evalúe la unidad.Tres días después y no han enviado a nadie a nuestra unidad.Ni siquiera han fijado nuestra puerta, que es claramente una parte importante del problema de calefacción.He documentado todo, incluyendo guardar archivos PDF de su propio sistema de solicitud de mantenimiento.También tenemos fotos de daños de agua en la ubicación de ambas fugas, desde nuestro movimiento en 18 meses atrás (como parte de nuestra documentación de la condición de la unidad).En ese momento, pensamos que era un problema viejo y asumimos que el propietario lo solucionó.Hay una historia clara que se muestra aquí de la empresa ignorando problemas que les notificamos o no solucionar adecuadamente el problema.Estoy bastante seguro de que no pueden solucionar suficientemente todo (especialmente la fuga) mientras estamos viviendo aquí y probablemente no hasta la primavera de cualquier manera.Si las cosas no se arreglan mágicamente para la noche del martes, vamos a poner el alquiler de marzo en una cuenta de garantía bloqueada y enviar una carta certificada al propietario explicando nuestra decisión de retener el alquiler.Estamos empezando a pensar en romper nuestro contrato de arrendamiento, pero también queremos asegurarnos de que lo hacemos correctamente.Estas son mis preguntas: 1.He leído que el propietario tiene 30 días para abordar problemas estructurales, como filtrar.Han pasado 60 días desde nuestra filtración, pero también estamos teniendo agua por el futuro.En términos de nuestra fuga más reciente, sólo han sido 10 días, pero puedo afirmar que el propietario sabía sobre el problema cuando nos mudamos?Si es así, entonces esto ha sido dejado sin resolver durante más de 18 meses (cuando nos mudamos) y probablemente han sabido de él durante años.3.Ha sido 30 días desde que les hablamos por primera vez de nuestro calor y 10 días desde que empecé a molestarlos sobre él de nuevo.Creo que el propietario va a afirmar que lo arreglaron hace 30 días y sólo se dio cuenta de que todavía era un problema hace 10 días.Un propietario tiene 24 horas para abordar problemas de calefacción, pero me pregunto si esto es técnicamente un problema estructural (unidad no es apretado del tiempo) y por lo tanto el propietario tendría 30 días?Tecnicamente tenemos calor que sale de la base. 4.Como todo se mantiene ahora, podemos afirmar que el propietario ya ha violado la garantía de la habitabilidad?O debería esperar hasta que 30 días ha pasado, desde que empezamos a tener agua que gotea en nuestra entrada?Sin embargo, tengo miedo de firmar un nuevo contrato de arrendamiento y luego nuestro propietario actual nos lleva a la corte un mes después.Creo que ganaríamos, pero la situación de pesadilla sería que el juez decide que no podemos romper nuestro contrato de arrendamiento y luego estamos atascados alquilando dos unidades. ¿Es imprudente romper el contrato de arrendamiento sin ir a la corte? 6.Vamos a llamar a la ciudad la próxima semana para enviar a un inspector.¿Hay algo que debería considerar antes de hacer esto?7.En términos de depósito de seguridad, el propietario tiene 30 días para devolver esto después de que termine su contrato de arrendamiento.¿Nuestro contrato de arrendamiento todavía termina técnicamente 31 de agosto, si nos mudamos temprano?O termina cuando nos mudamos, habiendo roto el contrato de arrendamiento?¿Tiene el propietario que devolver nuestro depósito en el alquiler del mes pasado, incluso si el contrato de arrendamiento dice que perdemos esto por salir temprano? |
1,517,602,071 | https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/7uu3rj/child_support_arrearages_in_ohio/ | 7uu3rj | Long story short, my husband dated a girl and she lied about being on birth control and became pregnant. They broke up before she even knew she was pregnant. My husband was excited about being a father. She refused to let him come to any ultrasounds, or even to the delivery! She had full physical custody and he paid for formula, diapers, clothes etc. She then refused to stop letting him see her so he took her to court. He was granted custody every other weekend and was ordered to pay support. She once again stopped letting him pick her up and he paid about 6k in legal fees to fight her in court. He then got into some legal trouble and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. During that time she took their daughter across state lines, got married, and her husband adopted her.

Long story short, my husband dated a girl and she lied about being on birth control and became pregnant. They broke up before she even knew she was pregnant. My husband was excited about being a father. She refused to let him come to any ultrasounds, or even to the delivery! She had full physical custody and he paid for formula, diapers, clothes etc. She then refused to stop letting him see her so he took her to court. He was granted custody every other weekend and was ordered to pay support. She once again stopped letting him pick her up and he paid about 6k in legal fees to fight her in court. He then got into some legal trouble and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. During that time she took their daughter across state lines, got married, and her husband adopted her.

I'm a transman and just renewed my passport in Oct 2017 so I wouldn't have to pay to file for a new one. I had read that a name change done in the same year as a renewal won't cost another filing fee, but no one told me a gender change would mean filing for a completely new passport (if I'd have known, I obviously would have let it expire and just done the new one). Firstly, I don't believe this is fair since I can make the correction to my name, but not my gender. Secondly, my first-ever passport was in the correct gender (male; a "mistake" from the third party my guardian went through), and I did travel with it. My second had the "corrected" gender on it (female; "fixed" from the first one because I was still a minor and not in control of the situation), and I also traveled with it. This most recent one has the same information as the second one, and was just issued in Oct 2017. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get it back to the original "male," or else if I have any other options to not have to pay for a new passport when I *just* got one, especially considering the name change would have been free.

The complex has known serious crime issues (years’ worth). I no longer feel safe and want an option to leave if I want to sooner/before our lease ends.
——————————————-
Aside from the normal loud neighbors, bad pet owners, shit and pee in places they shouldn’t be... My boyfriend and I gave our new apartment the benefit of the doubt even after the plethora of negative reviews, including break ins and cars being stolen from the garage.
15 days after moving in, we discovered that our storage unit got broken into on 12/5/19. We don’t know if it occurred that day, or the day before, but this is when we discovered that someone broke the handle to get into our storage unit. The shittiest part is that the lock/handle itself is provided by the apartment complex and they told us that they are aware of it as an issue (aka, it easily breaks).
Burglar stole my luggage (with a bunch of my lingerie, lol), and damaged my bf’s storage box.
A police report was filed, I also filed a claim with my insurance, and, of course notified the leasing office to their horror. When we went in there, our leasing guy said, “THIS IS THE THIRD ONE.” Not sure if he meant that day, that week, or this month...
The handle was replaced the same-day. We asked if we can have our front door replaced too because our storage and front door keys are the same, but they said NOPE!
This really upset me because I inquired about these negative reviews to the leasing consultant I’ve been dealing with from the beginning and was told (I have emails) that the robberies are, essentially, not happening anymore, and that it’s not “that bad.”
After the break in, it has been a can of worms. I find out my neighbor next door had his car broken into. Then today, I see that a girl wrote a review after my review (Yelp) reporting that her storage got broken into as well, AND her car also got stolen... She lives on the top/4th floor and I live on the first floor.
Like I said, these are known issues. You can scroll through Yelp. I did the math and at least 15% of the Yelp reviews talk about the robberies.
A couple of things I want to note are:
1) This complex is about 3 years old and have gone through at least 2 other property managements
2) Literally anyone can get in here. Common areas are not protected, we have a big back gate, and side gates. I saw someone hop that side gate last weekend cause it’s pretty low. They leave the back gate open when it’s not supposed to (even over night). We have fob keys but not all the common area require them, such as the elevator. Common outside areas also do not have enough lighting. Children play in the alley where the back gate is at!!
3) Our “secured” gate to the parking garage was broken for almost two weeks (it was broken when our storage unit got broken into). It was just fixed today.
4) Around/before my storage got broken into, management sent an email about starting to install a security watchtower, which includes a lot of cameras, and some alert of system that can defect heat signatures. They just began construction of it this Monday based on their email. They only currently have cameras near the amenities.
5) I researched the actual management company and discovered that other properties they manage (outside CA) report the same issues (security sucks).
6) My neighborhood has a relatively high crime rate. The government publication is public and shows the crime rates from January to August of this year (this is the most recent one this year).
I’ve done enough research (or so I think) that talks about Civil Laws here in CA and that it is the landlord’s duty to take reasonable measures to protect tenants from foreseeable crimes...
However, I’ve read our lease several times over and all I see is, “fuck you, we’re not liable for anything.”
I just feel misled and I’m still angry. More importantly, I think there should be legal consequences and/or legal loopholes.
I don’t care if they’re making changes now after years have gone by with the thefts and robberies. Only my bf has spoken with the leasing people here since the break in. Bf said people in the leasing office were very anxious towards him since they all saw my Yelp review (i’m a “Yelp elite,” but that doesn’t matter) and said that corporate is aware of it as well.
So, yeah, I just want to know if there is a loophole around my 15 month lease because 15 months is too fucking long especially after they lost me as a resident two weeks after moving in. And yes, I am an idiot for signing such as a long lease. $2k+ isn’t worth what I’ve experienced so far. | [CA] I moved to a “luxury” apartment complex (barely 3 weeks ago) that has several years’ worth of burglaries, along with other security issues.

Actualmente sólo tienen cámaras cerca de las comodidades. 5) He investigado la compañía de gestión actual y he descubierto que otras propiedades que manejan (fuera de CA) reportan los mismos problemas (la seguridad apesta).6) Mi vecindario tiene una tasa de crimen relativamente alta.La publicación del gobierno es pública y muestra las tasas de crimen de enero a agosto de este año (este es el más reciente este año).He hecho suficiente investigación (o creo que) que habla de las leyes civiles aquí en CA y que es el deber del propietario tomar medidas razonables para proteger a los inquilinos de delitos previsibles... Sin embargo, he leído nuestro contrato de arrendamiento varias veces y todo lo que veo es, "jódete, no somos responsables de nada".Me siento engañado y todavía estoy enojado.Más importante aún, creo que debe haber consecuencias legales y/o lagunas legales.No me importa si están haciendo cambios ahora después de años han pasado con los robos y robos.Bf dijo que la gente en la oficina de leasing estaba muy ansiosa hacia él, ya que todos vieron mi revisión de Yelp (yo soy una “elite de Yelp”, pero eso no importa) y dijo que la empresa es consciente de ello también.Así que, sí, sólo quiero saber si hay una laguna en mi contrato de alquiler de 15 meses porque 15 meses es demasiado largo, especialmente después de que me perdieron como residente dos semanas después de mudarme.Y sí, soy un idiota por firmar como un contrato de arrendamiento largo.$2k+ no vale lo que he experimentado hasta ahora. |

Because in 12 years they have never lived together, sure they were married and visited one another, but over time it just stopped, so after 3-4 years of visiting eachother on weekends+ going on vacations together (my father paying for her) she just stopped visiting, had better stuff to do, they still talked on the phone every weekend, but that soon stopped aswell, at the moment they have contact every 3-4 months per phone, and she just asks how everything is going and what not. So after 12 years of marriage my father had enough and told her he wanted a divorce.
You may think it may come from both sides, but here's the weird part. She absolutely refused to move in with him and always told him later, in 2 years when this and this is done, 2 years later she said in 4 years, etc etc, until now. She told him to sell his house (worth quite alot) and that she wouldn't move in with him (meaning she wouldn't want him to buy an appartment for her next to an appartment for him, she doesn't actually want to move in) unless he sold his new house (and got rid of his dog with it aswell).
**And then!** when he finally tells her he wants the divorce, she is shocked (they talk over the phone each 3-4 months..) that he wants it and says she is quite happy as it is now and doesn't want it to change, also her first reaction after hearing this was to yell "You cheated me with the marriage contract!" (He made it, so that she wouldn't get his money when they'd split), which obviously reveals that she was just going for his money all along.
Now my 72 year old father atm living in **Hungary** (but actually came from central europe) with diabetes and his bones cracking, is left there standing, wondering what he can do, because she refuses to sign the paper, go to court or do anything, she said she won't move.
He now is planning on scheduling an appointment with a lawyer, but it would really help to know what he could actually do? Does he have to go to court? Will it cost him much, what could be possible outcomes? He's really uncertain about it, and I really want to help, but I'm a measly engineering student with no clue on general laws.
I hope the wall of text didn't bury any responses, thank you in advance.

**And then!** when he finally tells her he wants the divorce, she is shocked (they talk over the phone each 3-4 months..) that he wants it and says she is quite happy as it is now and doesn't want it to change, also her first reaction after hearing this was to yell "You cheated me with the marriage contract!" (He made it, so that she wouldn't get his money when they'd split), which obviously reveals that she was just going for his money all along.
Now my 72 year old father atm living in **Hungary** (but actually came from central europe) with diabetes and his bones cracking, is left there standing, wondering what he can do, because she refuses to sign the paper, go to court or do anything, she said she won't move.
He now is planning on scheduling an appointment with a lawyer, but it would really help to know what he could actually do? Does he have to go to court? Will it cost him much, what could be possible outcomes? He's really uncertain about it, and I really want to help, but I'm a measly engineering student with no clue on general laws.
I hope the wall of text didn't bury any responses, thank you in advance.
**TL;DR** Father marries Woman, after 12 years of not living together finally realizes she only wants his money, he has a contract, she refuses to sign the papers or show up. What should he do? | Divorcio con complicaciones (podría ser una versión más larga de TIFU)Así que esto puede sonar como fuera de una película, pero en realidad sucede a mi padre: Él tiene 72 años y después de 12 años de matrimonio (con un viejo amigo de la escuela de su) finalmente ha decidido conseguir un divorcio, ¿por qué?Porque en 12 años nunca han vivido juntos, seguro que se casaron y se visitaron unos a otros, pero con el tiempo simplemente se detuvo, así que después de 3-4 años de visitarse entre sí los fines de semana + ir de vacaciones juntos (mi padre pagando por ella) ella acaba de dejar de visitar, tenía mejores cosas que hacer, todavía hablaban por teléfono todos los fines de semana, pero que pronto se detuvo también, en el momento en que tienen contacto cada 3-4 meses por teléfono, y ella simplemente pregunta cómo va todo y qué no.Así que después de 12 años de matrimonio mi padre tenía suficiente y le dijo que quería un divorcio.Usted puede pensar que puede venir de ambos lados, pero aquí está la parte rara.Ella absolutamente se negó a mudarse con él y siempre le dijo más tarde, en 2 años cuando esto y se hace 2 años, 2 años dijo que ella en 4Ella le dijo que vendiera su casa (que vale bastante) y que no se mudaría con él (que significa que no querría que comprara un apartamento para ella junto a un apartamento para él, que en realidad no quiere mudarse) a menos que él vendiera su nueva casa (y se deshiciera de su perro con ella también).**Y entonces!**cuando finalmente le dijo que quería el divorcio, ella se sorprendió (hablan por teléfono cada 3-4 meses.) de que él lo quiere y dice que está muy feliz como ahora y no quiere que cambie, también su primera reacción después de escuchar esto fue gritar "¡Me engañaste con el contrato de matrimonio!"(Él lo hizo, para que ella no recibiera su dinero cuando se separaron), lo que obviamente revela que ella estaba yendo a por su dinero todo el tiempo.Ahora mi padre de 72 años de edad atm que vive en **Hungría** (pero en realidad vino de la europe central) con diabetes y sus huesos se quedó ahí parado, ¿qué podía hacer, porque ella se negó a firmar el papel, ir a la corte o hacer cualquier cosa que ella pudiera hacer, pero que realmente iba a trabajar con un abogado?¿Le costará mucho, cuáles podrían ser los resultados posibles?Es muy incierto al respecto, y realmente quiero ayudar, pero soy un estudiante de ingeniería miserable sin ninguna pista sobre las leyes generales.Espero que el muro de texto no enterró ninguna respuesta, gracias por adelantado.**TL;DR**Padre se casa Mujer, después de 12 años de no vivir juntos finalmente se da cuenta de que sólo quiere su dinero, tiene un contrato, se niega a firmar los papeles o aparecer. |

I should start off by saying that I live in Texas. About a year ago my wife cheated on me and left our son with her mother in the virgin islands; during this time I had a job up until around August when I got laid off. I went back home (I was prior military) to Virginia for some time and recently came back here to Texas. I checked my mail and I had something for child support; I missed the case and now I am behind in child support like $966 or something close to that. The only thing I saw was a paper dating Dec 2, 2017 with those numbers. I couldn't call them to ask about it because they are closed until monday, but I wanted to ask some questions here because my mind is eating me alive right now.
I currently do not have a job and I plan to get one soon, but currently I have just been living with a buddy and been getting help from my family for my car bill. My question is what can I really do now that I owe child support? I am pretty confused because as far as I know she doesn't even have our son he is still with her mother. Another question I wanted to ask, is it possible to have child support dropped somehow if she agrees? I haven't really done anything wrong to her and until we stopped talking (like July time frame) her and I weren't really fighting or anything, so I believe I can talk to her to drop it if it's possible at least until I get on my feet.

Me & my team of 7 and growing have founded a blockchain based startup here in the united states. We are launching our crowdsale soon that we’ve been working on for the past 8 months. We would like to launch a utility token to be available to be purchased by US citizens as this is the largest market and we are seeking legal advice, but all of the firms in the space are asking $50K-$100K to represent our company and considering this industry is approaching $1 Trillion that is very reasonable, but still out of our budget currently. If any securities attorneys are reading this, we are willing to exchange equity in our company for deeper consultation. As of today I would like to know if we would be safe selling this token to US citizens .. here is the following information I believe is important in determining this.
1. We do not have an MVP. We will be using this crowdsale to fund the development.
2. Our token is not an ‘investment contract’ , users will NOT be paid in any sort of dividends or tokens for owning our token.
3. We are not promising any types of gains by investing in us.
4. The incentive to using our token within our marketplace is that users get to avoid fees, and they can stake the token to bid on advertisements within the website. User with the highest stake earns the promotion for a set period of time. Other than this there are no incentives to using our token.
According to the latest SEC press releases it seems we are safe, but I’d thought I would double check here to make sure.
We are very appreciative of any feedback!
Thanks.

A few weeks into working at my new job, I had a flare up and asked my then-manager if I could sit down for a minute. When I came back out, he told me he was going to call an ambulance. I tried to explain to him my condition and begged him not to do that, as I couldn't afford an ambulance. He told me that it wouldn't be an issue, and that he had called our GM who confirmed that the company would pay for my bills under workman's comp and I would be fine if I just told the people in the ER that it was a work related incident.
He continued to blow things way out of proportion and I started to panic, he made me think I could be having appendicitis and that I needed urgent medical attention. I have high anxiety and truly believed him in the moment. The compromise was that I would leave work immediately and drive to the ER myself, so that he wouldn't call the ambulance. I did. I spent a few hours in the ER, they ran a bunch of tests and, of course, found nothing wrong.
When I came back to work the next day, my other manager told me that nope, the company would not be helping me whatsoever with the bills and I should never have been told that. She told me I'd be totally fine because hospitals don't bill you right away (as if I was a braindead moron who had never been to a hospital before, thanks for the heads up genius). The manager who caused all of this gave me a half-assed apology and quit the next day, because apparently corporate scolded him a little for the incident.
Anyways, months later, I've just gotten back the bills. They are thousands of dollars. Is there anything I can do concerning corporate? I was told by my superior that they would cover my expenses, just to be told that was all a bunch of nonsense to force me to go to the hospital when it was completely unnecessary. | Boss forced me to go to the ER promising our company would pay my bills- they won't, and now I'm thousands in medical debt | employment | 5 | train | Boss forced me to go to the ER promising our company would pay my bills- they won't, and now I'm thousands in medical debt
Hi, so at the start of the year I got a new job. During this time, I was also really struggling with a chronic health condition/disability. I manage it pretty well now, but at times it flares up and can cause serious back pain and make it difficult to stand. But I have seen countless doctors and all of them say that I am fine and this condition is unfortunately just something I have to live with.

Big semi in left hand turn lane. light turns green I go and next thing I know I am hit by the truck spun out in intersection. Hit on my drivers side quarter panel. A police officer was nearby and comes and takes info for his report. The whole time the truck driver is apologizing for being in the wrong lane and not being able to make the turn not knowing there was two turn lanes how he was lost etc just keeps talking and talking. There is a witness who states the truck was stopped and I turned into the truck. And the truck driver says this as well. This is impossible. I know this turn very well I know there are two turn lanes and make a point to look for the dashed lines indicating lanes and make sure to stay in my lane. The police report has my side of the story that the truck came out of his lane and struck my car. The report has my story and the truck drivers which matches the witnesses story. The report says we both failed to maintain our lanes. But I know it can't be what happened.
Since I don't have coverage with my insurance to pay for my damaged car there isn't much they can do. I contacted the truck drivers insurance company and they say I was cited which I was not and that the story the truck driver said is the one they believe and they denied I had any claim. My insurance denied the claim of the tiny damage to the truck based on lack of evidence I caused the accident.
I don't know what to do next. Do I just call back the truck drivers insurance again and explain myself again? Do I file a case in small claims court? How do I prove to the truck drivers insurance company that the truck driver caused the accident?
