The title says most of it. I just heard back from a friend of some people that worked at my old job, a local NYC roaster with around 200 employees and 9 locations. We’ll call them Cafe Mooby. Cafe Mooby stayed open until the last minute, and then terminated everyone’s employment. From my experiences with my company, I was allowed to use my sick pay to get one extra paycheck after leaving work, and being told that as soon as I want to come back, I can do so without any paperwork. The move from Cafe Mooby seems super shady, and they did a bunch of shitty things when I worked there. I’m just curious if it’s legal, and if the workers can file a wrongful termination class-action lawsuit or something?

My former employer fired everyone when they had to shutdown so they could avoid paying out sick time and make everyone go through the hiring process. Is this legal?

Mi antiguo empleador despidió a todo el mundo cuando tuvieron que cerrar para que pudieran evitar pagar tiempo de enfermedad y hacer que todo el mundo a través del proceso de contratación. ¿Es legal? El título dice la mayor parte de ella. Acabo de escuchar de un amigo de algunas personas que trabajaron en mi antiguo trabajo, un tostador local de Nueva York con alrededor de 200 empleados y 9 ubicaciones. Los llamaremos Cafe Mooby. Café Mooby permaneció abierto hasta el último minuto, y luego terminó el empleo de todos. De mis experiencias con mi empresa, se me permitió utilizar mi paga por enfermedad para obtener un cheque de pago adicional después de salir del trabajo, y se le dice que tan pronto como quiero volver, puedo hacerlo sin ningún papeleo. La mudanza de Cafe Mooby parece super sombría, y hicieron un montón de cosas de mierda cuando trabajé allí. Tengo curiosidad si es legal, y si los trabajadores pueden presentar una demanda de despido ilegal clase o algo?

In Maine, my landlord (commercial property management company) updated their snow removal policy just prior to a rather large storm. 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. They posted the policy well after our signed lease and did not request any confirmation of receiving the policy or signature stating that we agree to the policy.

En Maine, mi propietario (empresa de gestión de la propiedad comercial) actualizó su política de eliminación de nieve justo antes de una tormenta bastante grande. La política establece que entre x:xx tiempo los coches no pueden ser estacionados en ciertos lotes y entre x:xx tiempo los coches no pueden ser estacionados en otros ciertos lotes debido a la eliminación de nieve de todos los estacionamientos. Después de la tormenta mi esposa, que trabaja desde casa algunos días, no estaba disponible para mover su coche durante estos momentos muy específicos para el arado. Cuando ella fue capaz de salir y mover su coche fue aconsejada por representantes de la empresa de gestión de la propiedad que ella consigue un pase esta vez, pero la próxima vez que nos multarán $50 si tienen que escribirnos para recordarnos a mover nuestro coche y $100 si el coche no se mueve en lo que llamaron un “plazo razonable”. En ningún lugar de mi contrato de arrendamiento firmado menciona nada acerca de mover coches para la remoción de nieve o referencia a cualquier política relativa a la remoción de nieve o multas.

Hello all, I moved into my apartment in August of 2019, and when I moved in the ceiling had collapsed in the bedroom. My landlord had fixed the ceiling within two weeks so that was okay for me because my classes hadn’t started. Fast forward to today, I go to check on my apartment because I am at home with my family because of covid I walk in and the ceiling is collapsed again this time breaking my dresser, flatscreen tv and ruining my clothing and bed. Keep in mind this had just been replaced less than a year earlier(10 months). So I call him and don’t get a call back for about an hour to which he replies “ well I’m not sure if I can get that fixed because of the virus probably not for a month or two”. Is there anything that can be done because I had planned to move back in but I cannot because there are wires from the ceiling to the floor, insulation and ceiling tiles all over. And to top it off it seems as though a whole chunk of sheet rock and plaster fell through right where I sleep that weighs about 65-80 pounds. If I was there in bed it could of caused some damage. Basically I’m asking what steps should I take and what would you all recommend. Thank you all!

Hola a todos, me mudé a mi apartamento en agosto de 2019, y cuando me mudé en el techo había colapsado en el dormitorio. Mi propietario había fijado el techo dentro de dos semanas así que eso estaba bien para mí porque mis clases no habían comenzado. Rápido hasta hoy, voy a comprobar en mi apartamento porque estoy en casa con mi familia debido a covid entro y el techo se derrumba de nuevo esta vez rompiendo mi vestidor, televisión de pantalla plana y arruinando mi ropa y cama. Tenga en cuenta que esto había sido reemplazado apenas menos de un año antes (10 meses). Así que lo llamé y no recibí una llamada de vuelta durante una hora a la que responde “bueno, no estoy seguro de si puedo conseguir que se arreglan debido al virus probablemente no por un mes o dos”. ¿Hay algo que se puede hacer porque había planeado volver a mudarme en, pero no puedo porque hay cables desde el techo al piso, aislamiento y baldosas de techo por todo el lado. Y para rematar parece que un pedazo de hoja de roca y y yeso cayó a través de donde pesan alrededor de 65-80 libras. Si yo estuviera en la cama podría causar algún daño.

My wedding date is September 6th, 2020. 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.

So not 100% sure where this goes but I figured this would be the best place for right now. I live in Tx and recently there was an altercation so I live with grandparent who wants me to leave but my stuff and everything I own is in there. I'm locked out and as far as I know they can't just lock / kick me out without eviction notice. I can't get in, I'm suck outside and I'm not sure if I can call the police or not or what to do. I've tried knocking and seeing if anyone is home but there's nothing.

At the start of this last school year one of my roommate's fiancée (P) fully moved into our rental house and began trying to control any and all decisions within the house along with getting upset if we don't do as she asks. I had finally had enough in January when she began screaming at me about something very unimportant as I was leaving for work so I sent an email to my landlord requesting that she be asked to leave. This didn't accomplish anything as the landlord is her soon to be parents in-law, and I was deferred to talking to their son the "property manager" and was told to just be nicer to her and do as she says. This being something I refuse to do as she is an nonpaying tenant of the house. Every since I did this she has had it out for me, trying to find anyway to get me evicted from the house. On Friday night P 'caught' two of my other roommates and I vaping in one of their bedrooms after barging in without being invited in and reported it to the landlord under the premise that I was the only one doing it and that I was actually smoking. Which is something I don't do anymore as I quit cigarettes last summer when I began vaping which I have been doing all year in the house without a problem. From my understanding of Minnesota law they would need to also list in the lease that vaping is not allowed as its a residential house, is this correct? And is there a way for me to break the lease as they are unwilling to remove P from the house and she is causing me mental/emotional harm?

I have lived in this apartment for a year and a half now. I am a college student renting for the first time, so I'm not really experienced with how all this service request stuff is supposed to work. 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. In March, I saw more mice and reported this. Someone came out to set traps, but after coming home from a trip to find droppings everywhere, I didn't feel comfortable staying in the apartment and I stayed with friends until a mouse was 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). I received 25 dollars in credit for laundry. Shortly after I moved back, I heard more scratching and kept seeing things out of the corner of my eye. For a month, I thought I was being paranoid, as I called in again and they said the traps haven't caught anything. However, today while I opened my oven door, I saw another mouse run between my feet and into my living room before making a dash for the hallway closet. I don't understand how they could have not caught these mice already, especially when I asked them again last week to set up more traps because I heard and recorded the mice chewing on the wall behind the oven again. Is there anything I can do about this? Aren't mice a health risk, especially in a kitchen? Is there a more permanent solution?

La compañía que estoy alquilando no se ha ocupado del problema de los ratones en mi apartamento después de que lo he reportado durante meses que he vivido en este apartamento durante un año y medio ahora.Soy un estudiante universitario alquilando por primera vez, así que no tengo mucha experiencia con cómo se supone que funcionan todas estas cosas de solicitud de servicio.El invierno pasado, tuvimos un problema con los ratones.Llamamos al propietario de la propiedad y enviamos el orden de trabajo.Se hizo cargo de él rápidamente y no los vimos de nuevo hasta este enero.Llamamos y les hicimos poner trampas y fue capturado.Sin embargo, poco después de esto, se vieron más ratones corriendo alrededor.Repetimos el proceso.No se capturaron ratones.En marzo, vi más ratones e informé de esto.Alguien salió a poner trampas, pero después de venir a casa de un viaje para encontrar excrementos por todas partes, no me sentí cómodo al quedarme en el apartamento y me quedé con amigos hasta que un ratón fue capturado.En marzo, le expliqué esto al administrador de la propiedad y le pregunté si había una manera de reembolsarme el tiempo que tenía que quedarme fuera del apartamento o del tiempo que me quedaba en el servicio de lavandería.Poco después de mudarme de vuelta, escuché más rasguños y seguía viendo cosas por el rabillo del ojo.Durante un mes, pensé que estaba siendo paranoica, mientras llamaba de nuevo y dijeron que las trampas no habían cogido nada.Sin embargo, hoy, mientras abrí la puerta del horno, vi otro ratón correr entre mis pies y entrar en mi sala de estar antes de hacer un guión para el armario del pasillo.No entiendo cómo no pudieron haber atrapado ya a estos ratones, especialmente cuando les pedí de nuevo la semana pasada que pusieran más trampas porque escuché y grabé a los ratones masticando en la pared detrás del horno otra vez.¿Hay algo que pueda hacer al respecto?¿No son los ratones un riesgo para la salud, especialmente en una cocina?¿Hay una solución más permanente?

I live in a community very deep in the woods, and as such there are only a few ways we have of getting out to the main roads. 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. Is there anything that I’m able to do as a concerned citizen, or do I just have to wait for elections roll around and hope I can vote out everyone that allowed this to happen

Los puentes condenados y los desvíos inseguros (MS)Vivo en una comunidad muy profunda en el bosque, y como tal sólo hay unas pocas maneras de salir a las carreteras principales.La forma habitual fue cruzar un pequeño puente que un inspector del estado había condenado durante mucho tiempo antes de que nuestro condado finalmente decidiera cerrarlo para traer contratistas para repararlo (aunque realmente no ha habido mucho progreso en casi un año) y nuestro desvío nos llevó a través de varias millas de caminos de tierra sin marcar a través de la tierra de servicio forestal, y otro puente que rápidamente tuvo que ser cerrado porque era inseguro (significando más desvíos a través de caminos de tierra de mierda).Trato de entender porque estamos en una parte pobre de un estado pobre por lo que probablemente no hay mucho dinero allí para hacer mantenimiento, pero estoy muy preocupado de que esto se está convirtiendo en un problema serio de seguridad.Las carreteras de tierra son muy estrechas y sinuosas, así que encontrar un coche en la otra dirección es bastante peligroso, con más de una persona que termina en una zanja tratando de evitar un coche.Entre unas cuantas tormentas pesadas y todo el tráfico de nuestra comunidad que utiliza las carreteras de tierra, ahora están llenos de baches y el condado no enviará a la gente a re-calificarlos más.Y entre el estado de la carretera y la señal pobre que marca el desvío estoy muy preocupado de que en una emergencia, ambulancias y camiones de bomberos no podrían llegar a nosotros a tiempo, si es que en absoluto.A lo mejor de mi conocimiento nadie ha sido herido todavía pero me preocupa que no se hará nada al respecto hasta que alguien salga gravemente herido y demanda.Hay algo que yo soy capaz de hacer como un ciudadano preocupado, o simplemente tengo que esperar a que las elecciones ruedan y espero que pueda expulsar a todos los que permitieron que esto suceda.

Hello. I work at one of these big names companies. Started working there 8 months ago. Two months into my job, a new manager came in and replaced my hiring manager. Things between us were not working well. In September, this manager responds to one of my emails using terms that I found offensive. I took this to the HR and mentioned to them that this was verbal abuse, disrespectful, and verbal harassment. The HR after a month time dismissed the case saying my alleged claims of harassment and verbal abuse were false. They also said they identified “opportunities” to improve the relationship moving forward! I was so disappointed and felt that there was bias in their decision. The comments the manager made to me in writing are derogatory to say the least. In Texas. When I told the HR and the employee relations the least I would expect is an apology, they said they cannot have him apologize. The HR even said they were glad that my claims were dismissed! So as a result, I decided to respond back to that three-month old email from my manager and copy the HR saying to him that his choice of words to put me down reveals a lot the true leadership style he has. I told him I would put this behind my back now if he does not do this again. I did not use derogatory words and was assertive in my email. Now the HR wants to meet with me again to discuss this last email. Can they fire me for standing my ground? What should I expect next?

Hola, trabajo en una de estas grandes empresas.Empecé a trabajar allí hace 8 meses.Dos meses en mi trabajo, un nuevo gerente entró y reemplazó a mi gerente de contratación.Las cosas entre nosotros no funcionaban bien.En septiembre, este gerente respondió a uno de mis correos electrónicos utilizando términos que encontré ofensivos.¡Lo llevé a la RRHH y les mencioné que esto era abuso verbal, irrespetuoso y acoso verbal.El RRHH después de un mes desestimó el caso diciendo que mis supuestas alegaciones de acoso y abuso verbal eran falsas.También dijeron que identificaron “oportunidades” para mejorar la relación en marcha!Estaba tan decepcionado y sentía que había sesgo en su decisión.Los comentarios que el gerente me hizo por escrito son despectivos para decir lo menos.En Texas.Cuando le dije a la RRHH y a las relaciones de los empleados lo menos que esperaba era una disculpa, dijeron que no podían pedirle disculpas.La RRH incluso dijo que estaban contentos de que mis afirmaciones fueran desestimadas.Le dije que pondría esto a mis espaldas ahora si no lo hacía de nuevo.No usé palabras despectivas y fui asertivo en mi correo electrónico.Ahora el HR quiere reunirse conmigo de nuevo para discutir este último correo electrónico.¿Me pueden despedir por mantener mi posición?¿Qué debo esperar a continuación?

I work at a pretty big retail chain. I started 3 months ago today and was told I would be paid for the 4 hour orientation. That day is the only one in that pay period, and while I am in the system as having been punched in that day, I have not been paid or gotten a payslip from that week online or in person. 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? What are my options if I never hear back? It seems like going to my managers yet again is the only other choice. It's only like $48, but if you say I'm going to get paid, I want to get paid and I also really need every penny.

No pagué por la orientación después de estar allí 3 meses trabajo en una cadena de ventas bastante grande.Hoy empecé 3 meses y me dijeron que me pagarían por la orientación de 4 horas.Ese día es el único en ese período de pago, y mientras estoy en el sistema como si me hubieran golpeado en ese día, no me han pagado ni me han pagado un pago de esa semana en línea o en persona.Le he dicho a mis gerentes un total de unas 5 veces.Se habría arreglado si el gerente de la tienda hubiera dejado que el gerente asistente de la tienda sólo agregara en las horas, pero decidieron pasar por HR.Me cansé de mencionar esto y me sentí como si estuviera dando náuseas y sin embargo nada cambia.Hoy por fin me he llamado a mí mismo y me han dado un número de teléfono para "Mrs. X" el coordinador de la nómina de zona.Pero esto nunca ha pasado.Estoy cansado de traer esto a colación y me siento como si estuviera dando vueltas y nada cambiase.Parece que ir a mis gerentes una vez más es la única otra opción.Es sólo como $48, pero si usted dice que voy a recibir pago, quiero recibir pago y también realmente necesito cada centavo.

I live in Minnesota. I just witnessed my friend (18 y.o.) being pulled over at 1 AM for having his headlight out. After informing the driver and getting his license/registration, the officer asked each passenger (one 18 y.o. and one 17 y.o.) what their ages were, and threatened a curfew violation for them. He said that he would “let you (speaking to the 17 y.o.) off the hook”. I was a little confused when I saw this. Can an underaged passenger get a curfew violation if a validly licensed, legal adult is driving?? Wouldn’t this mean that a kid can get a curfew if the parent is driving? I’m thinking that the cop is overstepping his duties. Please let me know. Thanks!

Oficial de policía preguntando a los pasajeros su edad; amenazando con violar el toque de queda vivo en Minnesota. Acabo de presenciar a mi amigo (18 años) siendo detenido a las 1 AM por tener su luz delantera fuera. Después de informar al conductor y obtener su licencia/registro, el oficial preguntó a cada pasajero (uno 18 años y uno 17 años) cuáles eran sus edades, y amenazó con una violación del toque de queda para ellos. Dijo que él "le dejaría (hablando a los 17 años) fuera del gancho". Estaba un poco confundido cuando vi esto. ¿Puede un pasajero menor de edad conseguir una violación del toque de queda si un adulto legal con licencia válida está conduciendo?? ¿No significaría esto que un niño puede obtener un toque de queda si el padre está conduciendo? Estoy pensando que el policía está sobrepasando sus deberes. Por favor, hágamelo saber. Gracias!

Back in January I got a reckless driving ticket for going 85 in a 70. My cruise control was set to 82, which is still reckless so I can't say I wasn't going 80. I asked the cop what would happen and he said I would have to take a driving improvement course and pay a fine, and that the ticket wouldn't be on my record after I paid it, and that it wouldn't be on my record at all until my court date, which is in April. I turn 18 in March, so I got the ticket before I turn 18 but my court date is after. Does this change anything? Do I technically have a reckless driving charge as an 18 year old or a minor? Does it make a difference if I show up on my court date with the class already finished? And does the charge actually go away after I pay it and do the course? Also, I'm not asking for specific advice on an attorney if I decided to go that route, but if I decide to hire an attorney, should I find one local to where I live or one that is near where I got my ticket? I was about 120 miles away from home when I got pulled over.

Tengo un boleto de tráfico para ir 85 en un 70 en Virginia como un menor-cuáles son mis opciones y probables consecuencias de cada uno? En enero conseguí un boleto de conducción imprudente para ir 85 en un 70. Mi control de crucero se fijó en 82, que todavía es imprudente así que no puedo decir que no iba a ir 80. Le pregunté al policía qué pasaría y él dijo que tendría que tomar un curso de mejora de la conducción y pagar una multa, y que el boleto no estaría en mi registro después de que lo pagué, y que no estaría en mi registro en absoluto hasta mi fecha de la corte, que es en abril. Cumplo 18 en marzo, así que tengo el boleto antes de cumplir 18 años, pero mi fecha de la corte es después. ¿Cambia esto realmente después de pagarlo y hacer el curso? ¿Tengo un cargo de conducción imprudente como un 18 años o un menor? ¿Hace una diferencia si me presento en mi fecha de la corte con la clase ya terminado? ¿Y el cargo va más allá después de que lo pague y hago el curso? También, no estoy pidiendo consejos específicos sobre un abogado si decidí ir a la corte, pero si decidí a alquilar un abogado, yo tenía que fuera de 120 millas

I did some professional services work for a developer some time ago, designing houses around a private golf course. Things went OK for a while, but then the developer got in over his head and stopped paying his bills. The developer left me about $8.5K short, and I sued to collect. I sued the golf course LLC, the housing development LLC and the developer himself as a DBA. They all initially fought and refused to settle, but then did not show up for court. I was awarded the full amount in November of 2007. Eventually, the golf course and properties were sold off to new owners, and both LLCs are now listed as "Involuntary Dissolution by Court Order" on the state web site. The developer is MIA. My question(s)- Can I go after the new LLC of the golf course or housing development for my judgment? If I can find the developer, how can I collect from him? How does one go about finding the developer? Any insight is appreciated...

Location: Iowa, US. My father ended a relatively short battle with brain cancer 8 months ago. After he passed, it became clear he left no will. My brother and I are the sole beneficiaries, however there are massive debts against the estate. It stands that little of the money from his estate will make it to me and my brother. Prior to his illness, my father suffered from intense mental health problems. While I am unsure if he had a formal diagnosis (he likely did, I would probably need to get hospital records), he was admitted to the Psych Ward on several occasions. Unfortunately, from what my family could tell, he became delusional about his own imminent death, and did not believe he would die. As a result, he made no preparations, no will, no funeral instructions, no goodbye letters/videos, nothing. I have no doubt my father would have specified in a will to provide his estates assets to both me and my brother, had he been capable of assessing the situation. Is there any legal basis that would allow me to inherit my fathers estate without it first being used to pay off his debts?

Antes de su enfermedad, mi padre sufrió de graves problemas de salud mental. Aunque estoy seguro de que si tenía un diagnóstico formal (lo hizo, probablemente necesitaría obtener registros hospitalarios), él fue admitido en la sala de psiquiatría en varias ocasiones. Desafortunadamente, de lo que mi familia podría decir, se convirtió en delirante sobre su propia muerte inminente, y no creo que él moriría. Como resultado, él no hizo preparativos, no voluntad, sin instrucciones fúnebres, sin cartas de despedida / videos, nada.

Boyfriend is a bartender, today after his shift he was told by his employer that a long time customer said someone at the bar stole his credit card after he forgot it on Tuesday. The thief then racked up $700 worth of charges (he has been compensated by his bank if that affects anything) at various stores with in-person transactions. Customer is adamant that the thief is my boyfriend as he was the only staff member working front of house at the bar that day. Work is taking him off the schedule until they can conduct a thorough investigation and when boyfriend asked them to please check the security footage they stalled him out and said they needed to make sure they 'have everything in order'. Until then he's not working indefinitely. Are they able to do this legally? If they fire him over hearsay is there any legal recourse? Times are a little tough right now with COVID and he just got back to work. I know CA is an at-will state which gives them free reign but accusing someone of stealing $700 is also something that can affect him attempting to get another job. Can he contact the police to clear his name or is the answer to the problem just 'look for another job'?

A few months ago, my employer claimed to have both audio and video surveillance in our building. I thought he wanted to spook some of my co-workers into minding their language around customers and didn't take him seriously up until some recent workplace drama. I'm working on getting him to admit this in a way I can document. It's my understanding that federal law requires employee consent to record audio, and that violations could result in fines or up to five years imprisonment. If I'm wrong about that, please correct me. If I'm not, there was nothing about this in the paperwork I signed when I began my employment and I've never received any other formal notice either. I'd like to know how I can act to protect my privacy without endangering my job. If he were to get arrested or fined, the business would close down. My co-workers and I would be screwed. Could I have him receive a cease and desist order to force him to remove the microphones, or would any notification of this given to public authorities result in fines or charges immediately? Is there a safer way for me to go about this?

Could I have him receive a cease and desist order to force him to remove the microphones, or would any notification of this given to public authorities result in fines or charges immediately? Is there a safer way for me to go about this?

(OHIO) ¿Vigilancia Ilegal en el Trabajo? Hace unos meses, mi empleador afirmó tener tanto audio y video vigilancia en nuestro edificio. Pensé que quería asustar a algunos de mis compañeros de trabajo para que se ocuparan de su lenguaje en torno a los clientes y no lo tomó en serio hasta algún drama laboral reciente. Estoy trabajando en conseguir que lo admita de una manera que puedo documentar. Entiendo que la ley federal requiere el consentimiento de los empleados para grabar audio, y que las violaciones podrían resultar en multas o hasta cinco años de prisión. Si estoy equivocado al respecto, por favor corríjame. Si no lo estoy, no había nada acerca de esto en el papeleo que firmé cuando empecé mi empleo y nunca he recibido ningún otro aviso formal tampoco. Me gustaría saber cómo puedo actuar para proteger mi privacidad sin poner en peligro mi trabajo. Si él fuera a ser arrestado o multado, el negocio cerraría. Mis compañeros de trabajo y yo sería jodido. ¿Podría recibir una orden de cese y desistimiento para eliminarle los micrófonos, o cualquier notificación de esto dada a las autoridades públicas en multas o inmediatamente ir a una manera segura para mí?

Changing names for obvious reasons. Sarah (the mother of my 5yo child, Keri) has been living with my parents for nearly a year, rent free. She has lived in 6 addresses in the past 18 months, all of which for less than 3 months other than when she lived with parents. All of the sudden, around a week and a half ago she moved out while my parents were out of town. She did not tell me, or my parents, and refuses to tell me where she's living or let me see my daughter. I've tried talking to her but she ignores my texts. I have regularly been paying for daycare with a bank account so she can write checks for daycare. I recently found out that $600 that I transferred to the account in November (and was withdrawn November 6th) went missing and the daycare Keri goes to contacted me saying they did not recieve any payment in November. I have a text from Sarah saying that she needed to take the money out in cash because she couldn't find the checkbook in order to pay daycare. After asking her about it, and specifically saying that if she didnt respond I would go to the police, she claimed she gave them the payment (I do not believe she did). She also sent a text message to my mother that said she would meet with her and Keri in a public place but if I showed up they would leave. I don't have a lot of money to spend on a lawyer but she's keeping my child away from me and at this point I want to file for full custody. What can I do to reduce the legal costs of a custody battle? Is she doing anything illegal that I can at least go to the police and get a temporary custody order? I feel pretty helpless at this point so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

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?

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. He couldn't go to the adoption hearing because he was IN PRISON. His daughter is now 14 (will be 15 in september) and we just received a letter saying he's in contempt for owing 13k in arrearages (364 to the state, the remainder to the mother) when he got the letter regarding her adoption her attorney said all future support would be terminated and that he was not in arrearages at the time of adoption. We really don't know what to expect next and are trying to find a local attorney that will give us some guidance. We spoke to child support and they said they really only care about the 300 dollars owed to the state and that his ex can have the past support wiped out. Any advice is welcome!

Arrendamientos de manutención infantil en Ohio Breve historia, mi marido salió con una chica y ella mintió acerca de estar en control de la natalidad y quedó embarazada.Se separaron antes de que ella siquiera supiera que estaba embarazada.Mi esposo estaba emocionado por ser padre.¡Ella se negó a dejar que viniera a cualquier ultrasonido, o incluso al parto!Ella tenía custodia física completa y él pagó la fórmula, pañales, ropa, etc.Luego se negó a dejar de dejar que la viera así que la llevó a la corte.Se le concedió la custodia cada dos fines de semana y se le ordenó que pagara la manutención.Ella una vez más dejó de dejar que la recogiera y pagó cerca de 6 mil en honorarios legales para luchar contra ella en la corte.Luego se metió en algunos problemas legales y fue sentenciado a 18 meses de prisión.Durante ese tiempo ella llevó a su hija a través de las líneas estatales, se casó, y su marido la adoptó.Su hija tiene ahora 14 años (serán 15 en septiembre) y acabamos de recibir una carta diciendo que está en desacato por deber 13k en arreares (364 al estado, el resto a la madre) cuando recibió la carta con respecto a su adopción su abogado dijo que todo el apoyo futuro sería terminado y que no estaba en arreares en el momento de la adopción.Realmente no sabemos qué esperar a continuación y estamos tratando de encontrar un abogado local que nos dará alguna orientación.Hablamos de manutención de los niños y dijeron que realmente sólo les importa los 300 dólares que se deben al estado y que su ex puede tener el apoyo pasado borrado.Cualquier consejo es bienvenido!

This happened in California. I work in a warehouse environment with forklifts, electric pallet jacks, etc. I was doing my job when suddenly my coworker’s electric pallet jack rammed into my ankle, causing damage. He claims his pallet jack wouldn’t brake. I’ve gotten it checked out and thankfully the X-rays showed that there weren’t any broken bones. But now I have sprained ankle. As stated in the title, I start the new job on the 12th of February. Can they take the job offer away if my sprain doesn’t heal by that time? In addition, what can else can I do? Can I sue my coworker for personal injury ? Or if the pallet jack really doesn’t brake, can I sue my employer for providing defective equipment?

Me lastimé en mi trabajo actual después de darles mi aviso. Empiezo mi nuevo trabajo el 12 de febrero. ¿Pueden quitar la oferta de trabajo? Esto sucedió en California. Trabajo en un entorno de almacén con carretillas elevadoras de horquillas, gatos de paleta eléctricos, etc. Estaba haciendo mi trabajo cuando de repente mi compañero de trabajo se abalanzó en mi tobillo, causando daños. Él afirma que su palet jack no frenaría. Lo he comprobado y afortunadamente los rayos X mostraron que no había huesos rotos. Pero ahora he torcido el tobillo. Como se indica en el título, empiezo el nuevo trabajo el 12 de febrero. ¿Pueden quitar la oferta de trabajo si mi esguince no se cura para ese momento? Además, ¿qué más puedo hacer? ¿Puedo demandar a mi compañero de trabajo por lesiones personales? O si el palet jack realmente no frena, puedo demandar a mi empleador por proporcionar equipo defectuoso?

EDIT: FUCK YOU, whoever downvoted this. It's a legitimate legal concern for a lot of people who may be going through similar. Keep your shitty bigotry out of it. TL;DR: I just renewed my passport but need to file a DS-11 to update my gender and name. If it were just the name, it could be done free. The gender change is going to run me $110. My first passport was listed in the correct gender, but was changed because I was a minor at the time; is there anything I can do to avoid the fee? Location: United States, specifically MA. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible - 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. Any advice would be awesome. I appreciate your taking the time to view the post.

TLDR: I moved into a “luxury” apartment and had our storage unit (inside the building) broken into. 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. My storage unit got broken into two weeks after moving in. I no longer feel safe here and want the option to leave. Anyway I can legally break my lease?

[CA] Me mudé a un complejo de apartamentos de "lujo" (hace apenas 3 semanas) que tiene varios años de robos, junto con otros problemas de seguridad.Mi unidad de almacenamiento se rompió en dos semanas después de mudarme.Ya no me siento seguro aquí y quiero la opción de marcharme.¿De alguna manera puedo romper legalmente mi contrato de arrendamiento?TLDR: Me mudé a un apartamento de "lujo" y tuve nuestra unidad de almacenamiento (dentro del edificio).El complejo ha conocido serios problemas de crimen (valor de años).Ya no me siento seguro y quiero una opción de salir si quiero antes/antes de que termine nuestro contrato de arrendamiento.————————————————— Aparte de los vecinos normales ruidosos, dueños de mascotas malas, mierda y orina en lugares que no deberían estar...Mi novio y yo dimos a nuestro nuevo apartamento el beneficio de la duda incluso después de la plétora de críticas negativas, incluyendo allanamientos y coches robados del garaje.La parte más asquerosa es que la cerradura/manilla en sí misma es proporcionada por el complejo de apartamentos y nos dijeron que estaban conscientes de que era un problema (alias, se rompe fácilmente).Burglar robó mi equipaje (con un montón de ropa interior, lol), y dañó la caja de almacenamiento de mi bf.Un informe policial fue archivado, también presenté una reclamación con mi seguro, y, por supuesto, notificó a la oficina de arrendamiento de su horror.Cuando fuimos allí, nuestro tipo de alquiler dijo, “ES EL TERCERO”.No estoy seguro de si se refería a ese día, esa semana o este mes...La manija fue reemplazada el mismo día.Nos preguntamos si podemos hacer que reemplacen nuestra puerta delantera también porque nuestro almacén y las llaves de la puerta delantera son las mismas, pero dijeron NOPE!Esto realmente me molesta porque pregunté acerca de estas críticas negativas al consultor de arrendamiento que he estado tratando desde el principio y se le dijo (tengo correos electrónicos) que los robos son, esencialmente, ya no suceden más, y que no es malo.Ella vive en el piso superior/4 y yo vivo en el primer piso.Como dije, estos son problemas conocidos.Usted puede desplazarse a través de Yelp.Hice las matemáticas y al menos 15% de las críticas Yelp hablan de los robos.Un par de cosas que quiero señalar son: 1)Este complejo tiene unos 3 años y han pasado por al menos 2 otras gerencias de propiedades 2) Literalmente cualquiera puede entrar aquí.Las áreas comunes no están protegidas, tenemos una gran puerta trasera y puertas laterales.Vi a alguien saltar esa puerta lateral el fin de semana pasado porque es bastante bajo.Dejan la puerta trasera abierta cuando se supone que no (incluso durante la noche).Tenemos llaves de fob pero no todas las áreas comunes las requieren, como el ascensor.Las áreas exteriores comunes también no tienen suficiente iluminación.Los niños juegan en el callejón donde la puerta trasera está en!3) Nuestra puerta “segura” al garaje de estacionamiento se rompió durante casi dos semanas (se rompió cuando nuestra unidad de almacenamiento se rompió en).Ellos apenas comenzaron a construirlo este lunes basado en su correo electrónico. 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.

So this may sound like out of a movie but its actually happening to my father: He is 72 and after 12 years of marriage (with an old school friend of his) he has finally decided on getting a divorce, why? 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. **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.

Alright so basis of the story is that I made an illegal U-turn and got a ticket for it, but the officers handwriting was messy when writing the ticket. So in turn the birth date was wrong on my ticket filing and got a court summoning, but it was for the minors(idk what to call it sorry lol). So I went to pay my ticket off on the day that the ticket had told me to pay it off by, but they told me I had to show up in court because technically in the citation I was 13 years old behind the wheel making an illegal u-turn. They ended up fixing the date of birth in the filing for the citation and moved the court date to a later date. Is there any way I can get out of paying to ticket using the wrong date of birth to my advantage? Like I say that it wasn’t me and I just let them fix the paper work because I’m a naive 19 year old that thinks the adults know what’s best? Or is it not worth the shot?

Si / cómo puedo luchar contra este ilegal u-turn Muy bien por lo que la base de la historia es que hice un ilegal U-turn y consiguió un boleto para ello, pero la escritura de los oficiales era desordenado al escribir el boleto. Así que a su vez la fecha de nacimiento estaba mal en mi presentación de la entrada y consiguió una citación judicial, pero era para los menores (idk lo que llamarlo lol). Así que fui a pagar mi boleto fuera el día que el boleto me había dicho que pagarlo por, pero me dijeron que tenía que aparecer en el tribunal porque técnicamente en la cita que tenía 13 años detrás de la rueda haciendo un ilegal u-turn. Terminaron fijando la fecha de nacimiento en la presentación de la citación y movieron la fecha de la corte a una fecha posterior. ¿Hay alguna manera de que pueda salir de pagar el boleto utilizando la fecha de nacimiento equivocada para mi ventaja? Como digo que no era yo y yo sólo les dejé arreglar el papel porque soy un ingenuo 19 años de edad que piensa que los adultos lo mejor?

Hi, I got laid off in January for reasons not related to COVID-19. I was receiving unemployment money which was $860 twice a month. However, in April, my benefits have come out to $2,060 twice a month. I have not changed anything with my unemployment status and since my unemployment is not pandemic related I was wondering why this was? It's definitely a plus but want to make sure I'm not committing a crime here. I live in Los Angeles, California by the way.

Hola, me despidieron en enero por razones no relacionadas con COVID-19. Yo estaba recibiendo dinero de desempleo que era de $860 dos veces al mes. Sin embargo, en abril, mis beneficios han salido a $2.060 dos veces al mes. No he cambiado nada con mi estatus de desempleo y como mi desempleo no está relacionado con pandemia me preguntaba por qué esto era? Definitivamente es un plus pero quiero asegurarme de que no estoy cometiendo un delito aquí. Vivo en Los Ángeles, California por cierto.

I (15M) am a transgender student a public Pennsylvania High School. I've been out as a trans guy for around 2 years and things usually go smoothly as bullying and that stuff, but schools have never really been great with bathroom/ locker room policies. I know that these laws are complicated but I'm just looking for pointers. Since the beginning of the school year, I have been told I am not allowed to use the boys restroom and must use the girls. I told the staff (guidance and principals) that I am, under no circumstances, using the girls facilities. They have no gender neutral/ disabled one stall restrooms in the school accept for the library. The library is far away from most of my classes through the day and it is very dysphoric when I walk in/ out of the library just to pee. I've resulted to try my best to not use the bathroom through the school day. I usually have nothing to eat the whole school day (7 hours) and go home nauseus, tired and with a throbbing headache. It gets worse when I participate in after school activities, as I can be at school for over 14 hours and will not eat anything or go to the bathroom in an effort to not get dirty looks when I need to pee. Sidenote, but I have also been called the wrong name on multiple occasions by substitute teachers (my teachers know my pronouns and my name and respect that) but that results in me being outed to my fellow peers that thought I was just a cisgender guy. The school said I, by myself, have to go to the administrations office 5 miles away from the school and talk with them as there is nothing they can do. Is there anything I can do to get better policies because the staff at the school has done nothing to help.

Mi escuela me está regulando a las instalaciones femeninas.Yo (15M) soy una estudiante transgénero una escuela secundaria pública de Pensilvania.He estado fuera como un tipo trans por alrededor de 2 años y las cosas suelen ir sin problemas como acoso y esas cosas, pero las escuelas nunca han sido realmente geniales con las políticas de cuarto de baño/ vestuario.Sé que estas leyes son complicadas pero sólo estoy buscando punteros.Desde el principio del año escolar, me han dicho que no se me permite usar el baño de niños y que debo usar a las niñas.Le dije al personal (guida y directoras) que bajo ninguna circunstancia estoy usando las instalaciones para niñas.No tengo un baño neutral/discapacitado de género en la escuela que acepte la biblioteca.La biblioteca está muy lejos de la mayoría de mis clases durante el día y es muy disfórico cuando salgo de la biblioteca solo para orinar.He resultado en tratar de no usar el baño durante el día escolar.Se pone peor cuando participo en actividades después de la escuela, ya que puedo estar en la escuela durante más de 14 horas y no comeré nada ni iré al baño en un esfuerzo por no ensuciarme cuando necesito orinar.Nota, pero también me han llamado el nombre equivocado en múltiples ocasiones por profesores sustitutos (mis profesores conocen mis pronombres y mi nombre y respeto eso), pero eso me hace estar al tanto de mis compañeros que pensaban que era sólo un tipo de cisgender.La escuela dijo que yo, por mí mismo, tengo que ir a la oficina de administración a 5 millas de distancia de la escuela y hablar con ellos, ya que no hay nada que puedan hacer.Hay algo que pueda hacer para obtener mejores políticas porque el personal de la escuela no ha hecho nada para ayudar.

If people haven't heard, there has been a large dispute over the past week or so over the company Nvidia and their line of graphics cards for computers by the name of GTX 970. They claimed in the advertisement and selling of the card that it has 4GB of usable VRam, but people have proven that it only has 3.5GBs and is causing performance issues or lack there of extra performance. Nvidia has claimed in tweets and posts on their forums that this was Intended and the card works exactly as they said it would. They also said that they will not release and drivers specifically for the card to help fix this problem. I am wondering what legal action if any can be done in this situation. Is this false advertising, fraud, or any type of illegal activity that they can be held accountable for? How would someone go about this?

My wedding is this summer but I anticipate there will still be restrictions on large gatherings. If for example my state is allowing for only 50 people is that enough to get me out of my contract with my venue? The only place my contract mentions guest count is it says they allow for a 170 guest limit. I’ve read that this could be considered a force majure because they are no longer able to accommodate the capacity that we contracted their service for and thus are breaching the contract. My venue is not being accommodating at all amongst all of this and I’m grasping at straws right now looking for anything that could get us out of our contract. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Mi boda es este verano, pero espero que todavía habrá restricciones en las reuniones grandes. Si por ejemplo mi estado está permitiendo que sólo 50 personas es suficiente para sacarme de mi contrato con mi lugar? El único lugar en el que mi contrato menciona el conteo de invitados es que dice que permiten un límite de 170 invitados. He leído que esto podría ser considerado una fuerza majure porque ya no son capaces de acomodar la capacidad para la que contratamos su servicio y por lo tanto están incumpliendo el contrato. Mi lugar no es ser complaciente en absoluto entre todo esto y estoy agarrando a pajitas en este momento buscando cualquier cosa que pueda sacarnos de nuestro contrato.

Hello Everyone, 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. Thanks for any help in advance.

Algunas preguntas sobre la manutención de los hijos.Hola a todos, debería empezar diciendo que vivo en Texas.Hace un año mi esposa me engañó y dejó a nuestro hijo con su madre en las islas vírgenes; durante este tiempo tuve un trabajo hasta alrededor de agosto cuando me despidieron.Volví a casa (yo era militar anterior) a Virginia por algún tiempo y recientemente volví aquí a Texas.Revisé mi correo y tuve algo para la manutención de los hijos; me perdí el caso y ahora estoy atrasado en manutención de los hijos como $966 o algo cercano a eso.Lo único que vi fue un periódico que databa del 2 de diciembre de 2017 con esos números.No pude llamarlos para preguntar porque están cerrados hasta el lunes, pero quería hacer algunas preguntas aquí porque mi mente me está comiendo vivo ahora mismo.Actualmente no tengo un trabajo y planeo conseguir uno pronto, pero actualmente he estado viviendo con un amigo y he estado recibiendo ayuda de mi familia para mi cuenta de coche.Realmente no le he hecho nada malo y hasta que dejamos de hablar (como el marco temporal de julio) ella y yo no estábamos realmente peleando ni nada, así que creo que puedo hablar con ella para dejarlo caer si es posible, al menos hasta que me ponga de pie.Gracias por cualquier ayuda de antemano.

Hi everybody, 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.

Hola a todos, Me & mi equipo de 7 y en crecimiento han fundado una startup basada en blockchain aquí en los Estados Unidos.Estamos lanzando nuestra crowdsale pronto que hemos estado trabajando en durante los últimos 8 meses.Nos gustaría lanzar un token de utilidad para estar disponible para ser comprado por los ciudadanos de EE.UU., ya que este es el mercado más grande y estamos buscando asesoramiento legal, pero todas las empresas en el espacio están pidiendo $50K-$100K para representar a nuestra empresa y teniendo en cuenta que esta industria se acerca a $1 Trillion que es muy razonable, pero todavía fuera de nuestro presupuesto en la actualidad.Si algún abogado de valores está leyendo esto, estamos dispuestos a intercambiar capital en nuestra empresa para una consulta más profunda.A partir de hoy me gustaría saber si estaríamos seguros vendiendo esta muestra a los ciudadanos de EE.UU... aquí está la siguiente información que creo que es importante para determinar esto.1.No tenemos un MVP.Vamos a utilizar esta gentsale para financiar el desarrollo.2.Nuestra muestra no es un ‘contrato de inversión’, los usuarios NO se pagarán en ningún tipo de dividendos o símbolos.3.No estamos prometiendo ningúnEl incentivo para utilizar nuestro token dentro de nuestro mercado es que los usuarios pueden evitar las tarifas, y pueden apostar el token para pujar en los anuncios dentro del sitio web.Usuario con la mayor participación gana la promoción por un período de tiempo determinado. Aparte de esto no hay incentivos para usar nuestro token.De acuerdo con los últimos comunicados de prensa de la SEC parece que estamos seguros, pero pensé que me gustaría comprobar aquí para asegurarse.Estamos muy agradecidos de cualquier comentario!Gracias.

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. 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.

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. 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.

El jefe me obligó a ir a Urgencias prometiendo que nuestra compañía pagaría mis facturas, no lo harán, y ahora tengo miles de deudas médicas Hola, así que al comienzo del año conseguí un nuevo trabajo.Durante este tiempo, también estaba realmente luchando con una condición de salud crónica/discapacidad.Ahora lo manejo bastante bien, pero a veces se enciende y puede causar un serio dolor de espalda y hacer que sea difícil de soportar.Pero he visto innumerables médicos y todos ellos dicen que estoy bien y que esta condición es por desgracia sólo algo con lo que tengo que vivir.Unas semanas después de trabajar en mi nuevo trabajo, tuve un estallido y le pregunté a mi entonces gerente si podía sentarme por un minuto.Cuando volví, me dijo que iba a llamar a una ambulancia.Traté de explicarle mi condición y le rogué que no lo hiciera, ya que no podía permitirme una ambulancia.Él me dijo que no sería un problema, y que había llamado a nuestro GM.Él continuó soplando las cosas fuera de proporción y empecé a entrar en pánico, me hizo pensar que podía tener apendicitis y que necesitaba atención médica urgente.Tengo una gran ansiedad y realmente le creí en el momento.El compromiso era que me iría de trabajo inmediatamente y conduciría a la sala de emergencias yo mismo, para que él no llamara a la ambulancia.Yo lo hice.Pasé unas horas en Urgencias, me hicieron un montón de pruebas y, por supuesto, no encontraron nada malo.Cuando volví a trabajar al día siguiente, mi otro gerente me dijo que no, la compañía no me ayudaría en absoluto con las facturas y nunca me lo habrían dicho.Ella me dijo que estaría totalmente bien porque los hospitales no te facturaban de inmediato (como si yo fuera un idiota con muerte cerebral que nunca había estado en un hospital antes, gracias por el genio de la cabeza).El gerente que causó todo esto me dio una disculpa a medias y dejé de lado al día siguiente, porque aparentemente las empresas le regañaban un poco por el incidente.Mi superior me dijo que ellos cubrirían mis gastos, sólo para que me dijeran que todo eso era un montón de tonterías para obligarme a ir al hospital cuando era completamente innecesario.

I have a car that I would like to leave titled in my name, and licensed in my state (Minnesota). I would like to lend it to my 25 year old niece (living in a different state) for a period of about 6 months. I know that she would need to take out her own insurance, and I'm not concerned with any loss or damage to the car. I am wondering if I would be leaving myself open to any liability by leaving the title in my name? I have searched around on the web and found conflicting views. Thanks so much for your help and advice.

Me gustaría prestarlo a mi sobrina de 25 años (viviendo en un estado diferente) por un período de alrededor de 6 meses. Sé que ella tendría que tomar su propio seguro, y no me preocupa cualquier pérdida o daño al coche. Me pregunto si me estaría dejando abierta a cualquier responsabilidad dejando el título en mi nombre? He buscado alrededor en la web y he encontrado puntos de vista contradictorios.

Four way intersection. I am in right hand turn lane to turn left. 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? I am in UT

All of this takes place in CT, USA. My parents recently got divorced after 33 years and 6 kids. All, but 2 are over the age of 18, myself included. The minors are 16 and 12. My dad has been emotionally abusing my mom for a very long time, she has several mental problems (depression, anxiety, hording) and he has never been supportive of helping her. He started cheating on her last year and decided they had to get divorced so he could marry the other woman (they have not yet wed because he had to come back to the usa for his job). Right now there is a typed and signed document that states my dad is suppose to have my sisters Tuesday and Thursday nights. The 16yo is refusing to go and the 12 year old comes home in tears every time. Tonight she came home (instead of sleeping at his house) very upset. After a lot of arguing and empty legal threats we convinced him she could stay home for the night. My mom was barely involved in any of this, she doesn't have the to will power to stand up to him. What can he legally do if my sisters refuse to sleep at his house? They are willing to see him, but they don't want to sleep at his house. What can my mom do now to help my sisters come up with a better situation? Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

Para mi sorpresa no recibí un boleto esta vez. Él acaba de tomar mi licencia y regresó unos minutos más tarde diciendo que tenga cuidado en esta carretera, ya que es una carretera principal. ¿Hay alguna posibilidad de que un boleto me sea enviado por correo o estoy fuera del gancho?

Hello. Please forgive me if this post is going to be a little on the rambling side, but I'm still a bit shaken up by what just happened. I'll try to detail all the facts, but please ask me any relevant question that I might not address in this post. Background: * Me: 34 y/o woman, professional, lodging a room in a shared house for a fixed term of 3 months (ending 31st Aug 2016) in Cambridge, UK. I have a written contract for those three months and a "verbal/email agreement" with the landlady to give me a brief heads up (we agreed on 24 hours) for when someone would be coming to look at the room I'm currently renting. Situation: * I am currently on garden leave, awaiting to move to a new city to pick up a new job there, so I am mostly at home or wandering about the city, organising stuff for the move. * Today I was at home, since it's a hot day I decided to stay indoors and relax for a while. I was in my room, headphones on, lounging on the bed in my pajamas eating a sandwich, not a worry in the world. UNTIL TWO UNKNOWN MEN LITERALLY WALKED INTO MY ROOM UNANNOUNCED. Turns out there was a planned house showing (landlady delegated these events to an agency, whose guy had the key to the house - also, I do not have the key to my own room) and NO ONE TOLD ME ANYTHING. Knowing Cambridge and being quite good at judging people's intentions quite fast, I immediately understood what had happened and played it cool, but no lie, for more than a second I thought they were burglars, or worse. I calmly explained to the agent that it was not his fault (he profusely apologised for the intrusion of privacy, he was very nice and I'm 110% sure he was being honest in saying that he didn't expect anyone to be home since he had been told it was an open house showing, which WAS NOT), but then my nerves got the best of me and I sent a scathing email to the landlady telling her that she had crossed a HUGE line, putting not only my right to privacy but also my (and my possessions') safety (I know, I'm 36891213% sure the guys who go looking at houses do not have bad intentions, but it's the principle behind it) at risk. I ccd the other tenants, the property manager and the letting agency. Now, since you're the experts here, who is in the right? What happened? Should I just expect this to happen again because she has the complete right to do so? Apologies again if this sounds a bit jumbled, but they spooked me quite a lot. Thanks in advance for any suggestion you might provide. EDIT: I am Italian, so I know a bit about rental/lodging laws in Italy but I haven't the faintest (nor the ability to fully comprehend them) about British laws.

Antecedentes: *Yo: 34 y/o mujer, profesional, alojamiento una habitación en una casa compartida por un plazo fijo de 3 meses (final 31 ago 2016) en Cambridge, Reino Unido.Tengo un contrato escrito para esos tres meses y un "acuerdo verbal/email" con la casera para darme un breve aviso (acordamos las 24 horas) para cuando alguien vendría a mirar la habitación que estoy alquilando actualmente.Situación:* Actualmente estoy en el jardín, esperando mudarme a una nueva ciudad para recoger un nuevo trabajo allí, así que estoy en casa o vagando por la ciudad, organizando cosas para moverme.Resulta que había una casa prevista mostrando (la casera delegó estos eventos a una agencia, cuyo tipo tenía la llave de la casa - también, no tengo la llave de mi propia habitación) y NADIE me dijo nada.Conociendo Cambridge y siendo bastante bueno en juzgar las intenciones de la gente bastante rápido, inmediatamente entendí lo que había sucedido y jugó fresco, pero no hay mentira, por más de un segundo pensé que eran ladrones, o peor.Con calma le expliqué al agente que no era su culpa (él se disculpó profusamente por la intrusión de la privacidad, él era muy agradable y estoy 110% seguro de que estaba diciendo que él no esperaba que nadie estuviera en casa, ya que le habían dicho que era un espectáculo abierto, que no era), pero luego mis nervios se pusieron lo mejor de maldecir le envié un correo electrónico a la casera diciendo que ella había cruzado una línea HUGE, poniendo no sólo mi derecho a la privacidad, sino también mi (y mis posesiones) ¿qué?¿Debo esperar que esto suceda de nuevo porque ella tiene el derecho completo a hacerlo? Disculpas de nuevo si esto suena un poco confuso, pero me asustaron bastante.Gracias de antemano por cualquier sugerencia que pueda proporcionar.EDIT: Soy italiano, así que sé un poco sobre las leyes de alquiler/alojamiento en Italia, pero no tengo el más débil (ni la capacidad de comprenderlas completamente) sobre las leyes británicas.

A few days ago I reversed into someones car on a road outside their home. There was next to no damage to their car and the owner originally told me not to worry about it. Later that night, her father and boyfriend came to my house, (the address was supplied by the car owners mother who is a courier and had previously delivered to my address and recognised me,) and were very intimidating towards my girlfriend (I was not home), threatening to return and call the police and were generally very agressive towards her. They were not exactly small guys but my girlfriend is tiny, and she did indeed feel threatened. Anyway, they demanded my information which eventually was provided to them, and the car owner is now looking into making a claim against me, but I believe she plans on claiming for damage which I did not cause to her car (she says there is a dent but I am sure I did not dent it). I have pictures of her car but she does not have pictures of mine. My question is, if she does decide to claim against me rather than settle it personally (which I would prefer), how can I ensure I am not mugged off over the damage caused? Also, is it okay for her mother to hand out my address to other members of her family? Thanks

Hace unos días, su padre y su novio vinieron a mi casa, (la dirección fue suministrada por la madre de los dueños de los coches, que era un mensajero y que me había entregado previamente a mi dirección y me reconoció), y fueron muy intimidantes hacia mi novia (yo no estaba en casa), amenazando con volver y llamar a la policía y eran generalmente muy agresivos hacia ella.Ellos no eran exactamente chicos pequeños pero mi novia es pequeña, y ella realmente se sentía amenazada.De cualquier manera, exigieron mi información que finalmente les fue proporcionada, y el dueño del coche está ahora buscando hacer una reclamación en contra de mí, pero creo que ella planea reclamar por daños que yo no causé a su coche (ella dice que hay una abolladura, pero estoy seguro de que no lo abolí).Tengo fotos de su coche pero ella no tiene fotos de los míos.Mi pregunta es, si ella decide reclamar en mi contra en lugar de resolverlo personalmente (lo que yo preferiría), ¿cómo puedo asegurar que no me asalten por los daños causados? Además, ¿está bien que su madre dé mi dirección a otros miembros de su familia?

My landlord seems to think that he can send me a text to move in three days for violating our agreement and endangering his health. I have not been served a 30 or 60 days notice (I’ve lived here since September 2018) and he’s not the actual homeowner. He’s a tenant himself who’s not supposed to sublet. I’m not accepting the texts as notice but he’s going to move my possessions from my room if I leave the house for any reason. We’re still in lockdown due to the pandemic and now have a curfew due to the protests. I have no money or fuel because I lost my job in April. I want to move out even though I have nowhere to go and stay in my car. I’m a female age 67. What should I do? I’m scared

Hi all, first time posting here, and on mobile so not only apologies for bad formatting but also the desperate tone. I am posting on behalf of my mother. Located in Santa Clara county, California. To begin, she purchased her house at the end of 2007, roughly 3 years before she and my stepdad even started dating. My stepfather and mother married in 2011 and things were mostly smooth sailing. My stepfather was a huge role model to me growing up, and without him I wouldn’t be part of college athletics like I am today. This August my stepfather was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. He began to deteriorate rapidly and was in and out of the hospital for October. At this point he stopped chemo (which was why he was in the hospital from not eating) and began to recover at home for November. Instead of a funeral, he opted for a celebration of life, while he was still around. Roughly 80 people attended on Nov. 16 to see my stepfather and pay their respects. That morning we signed the will with him and multiple people present. We have videos of him from that day in which he is coherent, moving around, and competent.

My[m20] mom is being sued by my (ex) stepsister[f35] over my late stepfather’s estate and my mother’s house.

My[m20] mom is being sued by my (ex) stepsister[f35] over my late stepfather’s estate and my mother’s house. Hi all, first time posting here, and on mobile so not only apologies for bad formatting but also the desperate tone. I am posting on behalf of my mother. Located in Santa Clara county, California. To begin, she purchased her house at the end of 2007, roughly 3 years before she and my stepdad even started dating. My stepfather and mother married in 2011 and things were mostly smooth sailing. My stepfather was a huge role model to me growing up, and without him I wouldn’t be part of college athletics like I am today. This August my stepfather was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. He began to deteriorate rapidly and was in and out of the hospital for October. At this point he stopped chemo (which was why he was in the hospital from not eating) and began to recover at home for November. Instead of a funeral, he opted for a celebration of life, while he was still around. Roughly 80 people attended on Nov. 16 to see my stepfather and pay their respects. That morning we signed the will with him and multiple people present. We have videos of him from that day in which he is coherent, moving around, and competent. He did fall at the end of the day trying to move a table without his cane. Silly I know, but he was a stubborn bastard. On November 25, he took a sudden turn for the worse and began to lose mental faculties. At which point he was placed into a medically induced coma by hospice care under a program they called “intensive critical home care.” On Dec. 1, he passed away. We lost a great man that day, and it was unfortunate that he went so soon. The following weekend my stepsister’s husband and her stepfather came to collect some dishes and collectibles she wanted that weren’t covered in the will. Now on to the dirty stuff.

Mi [m20] mamá está siendo demandada por mi (ex) hermanastra[f35] por la finca de mi difunto padrastro y la casa de mi madre.Hola a todos, primera vez que publica aquí, y en el móvil así que no sólo disculpas por mal formato, sino también el tono desesperado.Estoy publicando en nombre de mi madre.Ubicado en el condado de Santa Clara, California.Para empezar, ella compró su casa a finales de 2007, aproximadamente 3 años antes de que ella y mi padrastro incluso comenzaron a salir.Mi padrastro y mi madre se casaron en 2011 y las cosas fueron en su mayor parte suave navegar.Mi padrastro era un modelo a seguir enorme para mí creciendo, y sin él no sería parte de atletismos universitarios como lo soy hoy.Este agosto mi padrastro fue diagnosticado con cáncer de esófago etapa 4.Comenzó a deteriorarse rápidamente y estaba dentro y fuera del hospital para octubre.En este punto dejó de quimio (que era por lo que estaba en el hospital de no comer) y comenzó a recuperarse en casa para noviembre.Tenemos videos de él desde ese día en el que es coherente, moviéndose y competente.Cayó al final del día tratando de mover una mesa sin su bastón.Silly lo sé, pero era un bastardo terco.El 25 de noviembre, tomó un giro repentino para peor y comenzó a perder facultades mentales.En ese momento fue puesto en un coma inducido médicamente por cuidados hospitalarios bajo un programa que ellos llamaban “atención doméstica crítica intensiva”.El 1 de diciembre, falleció.Perdimos a un gran hombre ese día, y fue desafortunado que fuera tan pronto.El fin de semana siguiente el esposo de mi hermanastra y su padrastro vinieron a recoger algunos platos y objetos coleccionables que ella quería que no estuvieran cubiertos en el testamento.Ahora bien, esta carta era de mi padrastro, un agente inmobiliario.Hoy recibimos la siguiente carta en el correo: [Letter we received] (https://imgur.com/q41M5hj) Para comenzar, esta carta era de mi padrastro, ¿qué era lo que tenía que hacer en mi casa?, ¿cuál era el valor que tenía en la fila de mi auto.¿Tiene ella alguna reclamación al coche?3.Esta carta parece una táctica de miedo falso, es eso correcto al asumir que es un montón de BS?Aprecio todo su tiempo y gracias por adelantado.Edito 1: tenemos una reunión con un abogado que nos fue recomendado.Nos reunimos con ellos el martes para, con suerte, redactar una carta de devolución.Sharkshooter21

My sister, then afraid of our father's mental and physical wellbeing so she called in a welfare check my mom and sister's boyfriend get arrested for domestic assault in the first degree and battery in the first degree separately.

(TX) Last year was the first time he sent me a K-1 for my taxes after having been married and taking care of my self completely for many years. I found out I owned a very small piece of the company. I didn’t sign anything but I do remember around senior year of highschool him asking me if I wanted a part of it and finding out my mom or him taking money out of my bank account for it some years later. But I thought they were just hard up and being shitty. I was young and still wanted a relationship with my parents at that time. My father is pretty devious and has already shown he’ll do anything even at the expense of further going into debt to screw over family members during the divorce. I really don’t want to inherit this or his debts. What can I do to protect myself?

My Dad owns a business that he has always said he wants to be mine. It’s steeped in debt, and I have absolutely no interest in it.

Mi padre es dueño de un negocio que siempre ha dicho que quiere ser mío. Está lleno de deudas, y no tengo absolutamente ningún interés en ella. (TX) El año pasado fue la primera vez que me envió un K-1 para mis impuestos después de haber estado casado y cuidar de mí mismo por completo durante muchos años. Me enteré de que era dueño de una pequeña parte de la empresa. No firmé nada pero sí recuerdo alrededor del último año de secundaria él me preguntó si quería una parte de ella y averiguar que mi madre o él tomar dinero de mi cuenta bancaria para que algunos años más tarde. Pero pensé que eran difíciles y ser mierda. Era joven y todavía quería una relación con mis padres en ese momento. Mi padre es bastante desviada y ya ha demostrado que va a hacer cualquier cosa incluso a expensas de ir más adelante en deuda para joder a los miembros de la familia durante el divorcio.

I parked in a self-service garage. Came out to discover a corroded pipe had broken above my car. It sprayed basically chlorine bleach all over my car which now requires serious paint correction work to make right. Estimate around $1000. What is my recourse here? Found plenty about when another car damages your car in a garage but not the garage itself. Thank you!

When I lived in Missouri, I had a brief fling which resulted in an unplanned pregnancy. By the time I found out, the "relationship" was already over. I texted him to tell him I was pregnant, he said it's impossible because he's sterile. *eyeroll* He was a turd anyway, so I dropped it. I applied for and received assistance from the state, including health insurance, food stamps, and WIC. I had my son in 2008. My name is the only one on the birth certificate. A few months later, the state asked me to provide contact information for the presumed father so they could pursue child support on my behalf. Before doing so, I looked the guy back up (I had no contact info beyond his name and email address anymore) and emailed him with this information. He flipped out, cursing and saying his wife better not find out because they were trying to start a family, yadda yadda. Incidentally, that's why I stopped seeing him, because I found out I was the "other woman." I emailed back, saying that I'd drop it if he agreed to never contact me again and if he agreed to not pursue paternal rights to my child. He did, and I haven't heard from him since. I declined to provide the state with information and never pursued support myself. I just didn't want the hassle or any connection with him whatsoever, even if support was provided with no contact. Dad thought I was nuts. Mom thought I was making the right decision. It's been almost 10 years, and I've moved from MO to OK and now I live in FL. Despite his "verbal" agreement to not pursue rights, it's always been in the back of my mind that he might one day change his mind, and try to get back in our lives. I still have the email address I used, but I'm not sure if those emails still exist. I'm about to get married, but we haven't had an in-depth adoption discussion, yet. He's not dismissing it out of hand, but he's the kind of guy who thinks through every scenario's possible outcomes before coming to a decision. It's on our minds because my son is getting treatment for ADHD, and the office we go to will not allow him to make any decisions or bring him to appointments without me, regardless of what I say. He'd consult me before making those decisions, anyway. I've been operating on the premise that if he's not on the BC, he hasn't contacted us in almost 10 years (beyond an accidental run in at Target when my son was 6 months old. He was there with who I assume was his wife and their 8ish month old daughter. So not only was I the other woman, she was pregnant when we did the do. The panic on his face at the time was, I'm not ashamed to admit, delicious.), and had never provided any support whatsoever, that any case he tried to build would have been worth less than the paper it was printed on, even if I can't find those emails. Do I really have anything to worry about? Also, if my future husband does decide to adopt my son, would we have to make an attempt to contact the bio-dad for an official relinquishment of rights? Is there anything else I haven't considered from a legal perspective? Thanks.

Cuando me enteré, la "relación" ya había terminado.Le mandé un mensaje para decirle que estaba embarazada, dijo que era imposible porque era estéril.*Eyeroll*Él era un turd de todos modos, así que lo dejé.Solicité y recibí asistencia del estado, incluyendo seguro de salud, cupones de alimentos y WIC.Tenía a mi hijo en 2008.Mi nombre es el único en el certificado de nacimiento.Unos meses después, el estado me pidió que proporcionara información de contacto para el presunto padre para que pudieran buscar el apoyo de su hijo en mi nombre.Antes de hacerlo, busqué al chico de vuelta (no tenía información de contacto más allá de su nombre y dirección de correo electrónico más) y le envié este correo electrónico con esta información.Él volteó, maldijo y dijo que su esposa no se enteraba porque estaban tratando de iniciar una familia, yadda yadda.Por cierto, por eso dejé de verlo, porque yo estaba "other woman' tweed to kear'.Yo no quería que el problema o cualquier conexión con él en absoluto, incluso si el apoyo se proporcionó sin contacto.Papá pensó que yo estaba loco.Mamá pensó que estaba tomando la decisión correcta.Han pasado casi 10 años, y he pasado de MO a OK y ahora vivo en FL.A pesar de su acuerdo "verbal" de no perseguir derechos, siempre ha estado en mi mente que un día podría cambiar de opinión, e intentar volver a nuestras vidas.Todavía tengo la dirección de correo electrónico que usé, pero no estoy seguro de si esos correos electrónicos todavía existen.Estoy a punto de casarme, pero no hemos tenido una discusión en profundidad sobre la adopción, aún así.Él no la está despidiendo de la mano, pero es el tipo de persona que piensa en todos los escenarios posibles resultados antes de llegar a una decisión.Está en nuestras mentes porque mi hijo está recibiendo tratamiento para el TDAH, y la oficina vamos a no permitir que él tome ninguna decisión o le lleve a cabo sin mí, independientemente de lo que yo diga.He estado operando bajo la premisa de que si no está en el A.C., él no nos ha contactado en casi 10 años (más allá de una carrera accidental en Target cuando mi hijo tenía 6 meses de edad.Él estaba allí con quien supongo que era su esposa y su hija de 8 meses de edad.Así que no sólo era yo la otra mujer, ella estaba embarazada cuando lo hicimos.El pánico en su cara en ese momento era, no me avergüenzo de admitir, delicioso.), y nunca había proporcionado ningún apoyo en absoluto, que cualquier caso que trató de construir habría valido menos que el papel que se imprimió, incluso si no puedo encontrar esos correos electrónicos.¿Realmente tengo algo de qué preocuparme?También, si mi futuro esposo decide adoptar a mi hijo, ¿tendría que hacer un intento de contactar con la bio-dad para una renuncia oficial de derechos?

so I’m pretty much the opposite of the kind of person you’d picture when you hear “running for prom court”. the other day I decided to do it as a joke and make flyers to hang up like everyone else. As with most high schools these days, our school is undergoing a “juul epidemic” which has, for most teens across the nation, been an ongoing joke. So I thought it would be funny to poke fun at “the juuling” and made [this](https://imgur.com/gallery/F3Mi4SY) this flyer and hung them around the school, students hang things up all the time. A lot of students thought it was funny. Today I was buying my prom ticket and the lady selling them pulled out a folder, and pulled out one of the flyers after seeing my school ID and asked if I’d made it. I stuttered and she said again, this time more firmly “did you make it or did someone else make it.” I told her I made it. I believe that was a mistake. She asked me a bit about it and I just told her it was an inside joke amongst the students. She sold me the ticket and i was on my way, this was about an hour ago. I am a senior in high school and graduating in less than a month. I have never really “been in trouble” in this kind of way, just like detention or ISS for being late or breaking the dress code, but never anything serious. This is a large public high school in Atlanta. My friend says I won’t get in trouble over a flyer, but I’m not going to lie I am quite worried. I’m afraid what i believed to be a harmless joke may get me in serious trouble. I’m afraid of the school searching my phone, so I deleted any drug-related pictures (yeah this is just nicotine but still they might use other things against me) and messages off my phone, I have nothing on me or in my bag that could get me into trouble. I’m 18, will the school contact my parents and tell them to do something like search my room, or not allow me to attend college? Mostly I just feel like an idiot but I really can’t afford the consequences and I’m really freaking out to be honest. Tl;dr- made a satirical flyer for prom queen and may get in trouble for it

No estoy seguro de si este es el lugar correcto, pero me pregunto qué podría pasarme, así que soy casi lo contrario de la clase de persona que se imagina cuando se oye “correr para la corte de baile”.El otro día decidí hacerlo como una broma y hacer volantes para colgar como todos los demás.Como con la mayoría de las escuelas secundarias en estos días, nuestra escuela está pasando por una “epidemia de juul” que, para la mayoría de los adolescentes de toda la nación, ha sido una broma continua.Así que pensé que sería divertido burlarse de “el juuling” e hizo [esto] (https://imgur.com/gallery/F3Mi4SY) este volante y los colgó alrededor de la escuela, los estudiantes cuelgan cosas todo el tiempo.Muchos estudiantes pensaron que era divertido.Hoy estaba comprando mi boleto de baile y la señora que los vendía sacó una carpeta, y sacó uno de los volantes después de ver mi identificación de la escuela, y me preguntó si yo lo había hecho.Nunca he estado en problemas en este tipo de manera, como detención o ISS por estar tarde o romper el código de vestimenta, pero nunca nada serio.Esto es una escuela secundaria pública grande en Atlanta.Mi amigo dice que no voy a meterme en problemas por un volante, pero no voy a mentir Estoy bastante preocupado.Me temo que lo que creía que era una broma inofensiva me puede meter en serios problemas.Me temo que la escuela que busca mi teléfono, así que borré cualquier fotos relacionadas con las drogas (sí, esto es sólo nicotina, pero todavía pueden usar otras cosas en mi contra) y mensajes de mi teléfono, No tengo nada en mí o en mi bolsa que me pueda meter en problemas.Tengo 18 años, ¿la escuela contactará a mis padres y les dirá que hagan algo como buscar en mi habitación, o no me permitirá asistir a la universidad?La mayoría me siento como un idiota, pero realmente no puedo permitirme las consecuencias y estoy realmente enloqueciendo para ser honesto.Tl;dr- hizo un volante satírico para la reina y puede tener problemas por ello.

Los Angels, CA Hello, My coworkers and I signed a contract that had a lot of undefined terms to which we all interpreted differently than our boss. It is my understanding that when a contract does not specify something interpretation belongs to that of the signer, correct? For example in the contract it says "week" which all of us took to mean 7 days rather than a 5 day work week. Also, there was no clause about accruing vacation, but a clause about our trial period ending after 3 months which one person took as "all vacation days are available after those three months" especially since no accruement were listed on our checks and the spaces for that was blank. While our employer says because non of us have been full time (which is incorrect to begin with) we are just out of the know that these things are standard in all work contracts at companies and dont need to be specified. Does anyone have any advice on where I can find CA or federal laws about interpreting contracts?

Contractual words that are not defined Los Angels, CA Hello, My coworkers and I signed a contract that had a lot of undefined terms to which we all interpreted differently than our boss. It is my understanding that when a contract does not specify something interpretation belongs to that of the signer, correct? For example in the contract it says "week" which all of us took to mean 7 days rather than a 5 day work week. Also, there was no clause about accruing vacation, but a clause about our trial period ending after 3 months which one person took as "all vacation days are available after those three months" especially since no accruement were listed on our checks and the spaces for that was blank. While our employer says because non of us have been full time (which is incorrect to begin with) we are just out of the know that these things are standard in all work contracts at companies and dont need to be specified. Does anyone have any advice on where I can find CA or federal laws about interpreting contracts?

Palabras contractuales que no están definidas Los Ángeles, CA Hola, Mis compañeros de trabajo y yo firmamos un contrato que tenía muchos términos indefinidos a los que todos interpretamos de manera diferente a nuestro jefe. Entiendo que cuando un contrato no especifica algo de interpretación pertenece a la del firmante, ¿correcto? Por ejemplo, en el contrato dice "semana" que todos nosotros tomamos para significar 7 días en lugar de una semana de 5 días de trabajo. Además, no había ninguna cláusula sobre acumular vacaciones, sino una cláusula sobre nuestro período de prueba que termina después de 3 meses que una persona tomó como "todos los días de vacaciones están disponibles después de esos tres meses", especialmente porque no se registró ningún ingreso en nuestros cheques y los espacios para eso estaban en blanco. Mientras que nuestro empleador dice que no hemos estado a tiempo completo (lo que es incorrecto para empezar) estamos fuera de la idea de que estas cosas son estándar en todos los contratos de trabajo en las empresas y no necesitan ser especificados.

Hey, hopefully this is the correct place and the correct flair but I thought they couldn't let someone go based on an employee venting on social media in Wisconsin? If I'm wrong then I'm wrong. They told me to take the rest of the week off and if I still want the job I can come back in Monday. I feel like this is a little messed up because I was just venting my frustrations online and now I'm screwed out of 2 days of pay because of this. I since deleted the post but it wasn't anything vulgar beyong "this place/job sucks". ​ I have a feeling now they'll hold this against me in the future and refuse to give me raises. I still feel like I have a right to vent about work conditions.

Hice un post de redes sociales ventilando "este trabajo apesta" y mi empleador me dio el resto de la semana libre. Oye, espero que este sea el lugar correcto y el estilo correcto pero pensé que no podían dejar que alguien se fuera basado en un empleado ventilando en las redes sociales en Wisconsin? Si estoy equivocado entonces estoy equivocado. Me dijeron que me tomara el resto de la semana libre y si todavía quería el trabajo puedo volver el lunes. Siento que esto es un poco desordenado porque solo estaba ventilando mis frustraciones en línea y ahora estoy jodido de 2 días de pago por esto. Desde entonces borré el post pero no era nada vulgar beyong "este lugar/trabajo apesta". ​ Tengo la sensación de que ahora van a sostener esto en mi contra en el futuro y me niegan a darme aumentos. Todavía siento como si tuviera derecho a ventilar sobre las condiciones de trabajo.

State: CA I've recently lost a bike that was tied to my balcony (I'm on the first floor). This happened while I was asleep at night, during the shelter-in-place period. It's almost impossible for someone to reach and grab from the outside of the balcony - someone has to have jumped over the fence and then grab it. I do live in a gated community (so it's gated, and then I have a 6ft tall wall around the balcony). I don't feel safe living in this unit anymore so I have tried to contact the leasing office to transfer to another unit but they have failed to respond back to me for 3 weeks. Due to increase in thefts and car break-ins due to economy pitfall, I'm pretty confident more thefts will happen. What really concerns me is though there is no surveillance system to the gate of the community, and the balcony door is very.. balcony-door-ish. Meaning it has a huge square-glass in the middle that anyone can break in. It was not really a problem when I moved in, but now I actually experienced burglary, I do feel little unsafe and the leasing office has done no effort to do accommodate. Actually, even before trying to accommodate, they have ignored my calls and when they picked up and said the manager will get back to me, she never did. I don't even know if she got the message tbh. Can this be suitable for uninhabitable situation? I'm ultimately trying to break the lease without penalty and move out of this community.

One of my employees that works remotely brought his nephew to work for a week because his license was suspended (needed a driver). His nephew never discussed wages or did paper work with us to be an employee. Now he's reaching out saying he worked as a helper the whole week with his uncle and that his uncle said we told him we'd pay a particular hourly rate. I'm willing to pay him, I'm just wondering what the legal side of this is, do I have to? Probably will just to make a low cost situation disappear. Does his uncle owe him money or me?

Hey! I'm a graphic designer in Texas and I'm revising/writing my own terms and conditions. While, there may be a couple of sections that I'm not 100% certain about, I really way to double-check that this section on payment schedule is worded in a way that makes sense and doesn't have any weird holes. * Prior to project commencement, client will pay one-third of the total project costs in the form of a down payment. The client will pay the second one-third of the total project costs to the designer at the mid-point of the project timeline, and the remaining one-third of the total project costs to the designer upon completion of the project. Original artwork and production files will only be supplied to the client once the total project costs have been paid in full. Should the client require work to be completed sooner than the originally agreed upon schedule, a rush fee of 50% of the remaining, or required, work may be applied. Thank you so much in advance for any help! It's genuinely appreciated.

Hello all, My girlfriend has signed a lease about 6 months ago where the address is X. X is a private dorm. However, she was placed in what they call a townhouse, that's essentially a two story house I guess that's physically connected to the main building. However her townhouse is not accessible from within the building located at X. She has to cross a back alley to get to it. Her real address is Y, the private residence even told her her mail should be delivered at Y. Is it possible to cancel the lease based on the fact that it says she should be living at X, but that she lives at Y? If not, is there any recourse to canceling a lease?

Hola a todos, Mi novia ha firmado un contrato de arrendamiento hace unos 6 meses donde la dirección es X. X es un dormitorio privado. Sin embargo, fue colocada en lo que llaman una casa adosada, que es esencialmente una casa de dos pisos, supongo que está físicamente conectada con el edificio principal. Sin embargo, su casa adosada no es accesible desde el interior del edificio ubicado en X. Tiene que cruzar un callejón trasero para llegar a él. Su dirección real es Y, la residencia privada incluso le dijo que su correo debe ser entregado en Y. ¿Es posible cancelar el contrato de arrendamiento basado en el hecho de que dice que debe estar viviendo en X, pero que vive en Y? Si no, ¿hay algún recurso para cancelar un contrato de arrendamiento?

Greetings Reddit, I was renting a room out of X's house until things got very sour between us after the death of an animal. I ended our contract early in May 2013, paid move out fees detailed in the contract, and left. In paying the move out fees I made a slight error on the check and X contacted me saying the bank may not accept it and I'd be liable for fees that are associated with bouncing a check. I went to my bank, had the check voided, and mailed another check. X cashed this check in June 2013. December 2014 comes around, a year and a half later, and I'm looking at my financial statements and come to find a check had been cashed that I don't remember writing. I called my bank and they said it was the voided check. She cashed it right before the holidays. Their policy (Navy Federal) is to only void a check for 180 days, after which it becomes stale-dated. However, Navy Federal does not have a policy against cashing stale-dated checks. USAA, X's bank, does, but won't refund the amount because they were not the ones who released the funds. My question is: If I sue in small claims court, is there anything you guys can think I can reference that will build my case? I have statements from both banks saying the check should not have been cashed. I have a copy of the contract that details the move out fees. I have a copy of both checks that detail what they are paying (I know what is written on the check and what it is paying for is not legally binding) Thank you and have a good day.

If you don’t need/care about and elaboration, skip to the last paragraph. My company has put me on furlough. It has been about 2 months now. I’m not confident that I will be brought back, so I am looking at other options. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that I will be able to jump into another job and instantly start making as much as I am on currently on UI. Don’t get me wrong I AM making less on UI than I make at work. My furloughed position pays us way more than the market value of similar positions. And doesn’t really help me qualify for a higher paying job somewhere else. At the end of the day, I was going to have this problem anyway if I quit or got laid off. The pandemic has just forced it upon me earlier than anticipated. What sucks is, I’m not really “qualified” to do much of anything else that pays well except sales. I am wondering if I would be able to continue to receive some benefits if I start work at another company where I would be making significantly less. The reason I would be making less is because it will likely be a sales position that takes time to develop. I’m scared to make the jump right now, but I think it’s a bad idea to just bet on me being allowed to return to my furloughed job. I guess basically my question is: what happens when I notify DOL that I have started another job and am making a little money. (Less than I get from UI.) I live in Alabama.

¿Qué pasa si no le aviso al DOL que he empezado un nuevo trabajo que hace menos de lo que hice antes, y menos de beneficios de UI?Si no necesita/cuidado y elaboración, salte al último párrafo.Mi empresa me ha puesto en permiso.Ha pasado unos 2 meses ya.No estoy seguro de que voy a ser traído de vuelta, así que estoy buscando otras opciones.Desafortunadamente, es poco probable que pueda saltar a otro trabajo y empezar instantáneamente a hacer tanto como estoy en la actualidad en UI.No me malinterpreteEstoy haciendo menos en UI de lo que hago en el trabajo.Mi posición relajada nos paga mucho más que el valor de mercado de posiciones similares.Y realmente no me ayuda a calificar para un trabajo de mayor paga en otro lugar.Al final del día, iba a tener este problema de todos modos si me desista o me despidieron.La pandemia me ha obligado a trabajar antes de lo previsto.Lo que me apesta es, yo no estoy realmente “calificado” para hacer mucho más de lo que vale la pena excepto vender.Me pregunto si podría seguir recibiendo beneficios de alguna manera significativa si alguna empresa.La razón por la que estaría haciendo menos es porque es probable que sea una posición de ventas que toma tiempo para desarrollar.Tengo miedo de hacer el salto en este momento, pero creo que es una mala idea sólo apostar a que se me permite volver a mi trabajo con permiso.Supongo que básicamente mi pregunta es: ¿qué sucede cuando notifiqué a DOL que he comenzado otro trabajo y estoy haciendo un poco de dinero.(Menos de lo que obtengo de UI.)Vivo en Alabama.

Amazon runs Merch By Amazon which is like on demand t-shirt printing. You upload a design and when it sells Amazon prints it and sends to your customer. I sell other stuff on Amazon and started doing Merch as just a way to make more money. It required more time/effort than I wanted to give so I didn't really put that much in and kinda just forgot about it. I still have designs up and all in all have sold about 30 shirts. I ended up checking to see if I had ever been paid for them and I have not. I opened a case and was dragged around for 2-3 weeks before they replied "you'll be paid in next payment cycle". It's been about 10 days and still not paid. I don't care about the money because it's probably about $50 total but I do care about not getting fucked by Amazon. Do I have any options here other than to just wait and hope they send me the money? Thanks

[FL] He estado vendiendo camisetas de Merch By Amazon desde julio de 2017 y no han sido pagados por Amazon Amazon funciona Merch By Amazon que es como la impresión de camisetas de demanda. Usted sube un diseño y cuando se vende Amazon lo imprime y envía a su cliente. Yo vendo otras cosas en Amazon y empecé a hacer Merch como sólo una manera de hacer más dinero. Requerí más tiempo/esfuerzo de lo que quería dar así que realmente no puse mucho en y un poco simplemente se olvidó de él. Todavía tengo diseños y en total han vendido alrededor de 30 camisas. Terminé comprobando si alguna vez me habían pagado por ellos y no lo he hecho. Abrí un caso y me arrastraron alrededor de 2-3 semanas antes de que contestaran "se le pagarán en el próximo ciclo de pago". Han sido unos 10 días y todavía no me han pagado. No me importa el dinero porque es probablemente alrededor de $50 total, pero me importa no ser follada por Amazon. ¿Tengo alguna otra opción aquí que simplemente esperar y esperar que me envíen el dinero?

Has anyone had to file a complaint through the NY Department of Labor? I’ve all but finished the paperwork - I’m owed over $1500 in wages from a former employer (that he’s admitted to) but also over $1000 in toll amounts (that he hasn’t admitted to). I was just wondering if anyone here had experience with them and could give any pointers to help with my claim. Thanks!

Departamento de Trabajo NY ¿Alguien ha tenido que presentar una queja a través del Departamento de Trabajo de Nueva York? He casi terminado el papeleo - me deben más de $1500 en salarios de un antiguo empleador (que él ha admitido) pero también más de $1000 en cantidades de peaje (que él no ha admitido). Me preguntaba si alguien aquí tenía experiencia con ellos y podría dar cualquier sugerencia para ayudar con mi reclamo. Gracias!

Hello there, so I live in Staten Island which is part of nyc but I worked in New Jersey. I assume I can’t apply or unemployment because it wasn’t in the same state and/or that I worked this year so it wasn’t filed in the tax season the previous year. But recently a friend told me she worked in Michigan, but lived in nyc, filed and got paid. It may be too late or not and suggest I should file one for that too. And not just the PUI. But I already apply and have no work in nyc so I put in a different application. She said I could file in New Jersey but I’m a bit confused on everything as it already is. Can someone, if you know how these works well help me out?

NYC y Nueva Jersey Hola, así que vivo en Staten Island que es parte de nyc pero trabajé en Nueva Jersey. Asumo que no puedo solicitar o desempleo porque no estaba en el mismo estado y/o que trabajé este año así que no se presentó en la temporada de impuestos el año anterior. Pero recientemente un amigo me dijo que trabajaba en Michigan, pero vivió en nyc, archivado y pagado. Puede ser demasiado tarde o no y sugerir que debería presentar uno para eso también. Y no sólo el PUI. Pero ya aplicar y no tengo trabajo en nyc así que puse en una aplicación diferente. Ella dijo que podía presentar en Nueva Jersey, pero estoy un poco confundido en todo lo que ya es. ¿Puede alguien, si usted sabe cómo funcionan bien me ayudan?

So I made a Reddit account and joined this subreddit for specifically this reason. I was just dropping off my girlfriend from work she got off at 10:00 PM she got home probably around 10:20. We stopped to get some fast food for some dinner and we parked inside of her condo complex in one of the public parking spaces. We're just sitting there eating, minding our own business when a lady comes out from her back door to come yell at us about idling and my car being loud. My car is pretty loud it's a 2004 Neon SRT-4 with a modified exhaust but we were also parked completely legally. Not revving the engine or driving loudly squealing tires and all. Just sitting there idling. After she's done complaining we shrug it off and eat for another 10-15 minutes before we finish and I take her home which is on the opposite side of where we were parked and she's actually across the street neighbors with my girlfriend. Now I've never had a problem with anyone regarding noise in this complex mainly cause I don't drive like an asshole at 11 at night. So this lady must've just moved in. But while she was getting out I noticed the lady looking through her window and she appeared to be on the phone which inspired me to ask this question. I can only imagine she was calling the cops but I really want to know if what I did was illegal and if I could have been cited for it. I'm familiar with my states exhaust laws (Nevada) I was very meticulous in reading up on them before I installed an aftermarket system and there is close to none. There is a law limiting decibels emitted from an exhaust but it's not heavily enforced whatsoever and even then that's when the engine is at like half RPM or something like that. So was I in the wrong? Or can I tell the lady to bug off next time. Either way she needs to get used to it cause my girlfriend can't drive yet and I'm exclusively her ride basically anywhere. To and from work (Fridays and Saturdays we close at 12 so she's home around 12:45 after cleaning) and to and from school (I'm responsible for picking up multiple people and I pick her up around 6:30) if anyone has any knowledge on this please let me know.

Así que hice una cuenta de Reddit y me uní a este subreddit por esta razón específicamente.Yo estaba dejando a mi novia del trabajo que se bajó a las 10:00 PM ella llegó a casa probablemente alrededor de las 10:20.Nos detuvimos a conseguir algo de comida rápida para una cena y estacionamos dentro de su complejo de condominio en uno de los espacios de estacionamiento público.Estamos simplemente sentados allí comiendo, cuidando de nuestros propios negocios cuando una señora sale de su puerta trasera para venir a gritarnos sobre ralentí y mi coche siendo ruidoso.Mi coche es bastante ruidoso es un 2004 Neon SRT-4 con un escape modificado, pero también estábamos estacionados completamente legalmente.No revolucionar el motor o conducir ruidosamente neumáticos chirriantes y todo.Solo sentado allí en ralentí.Después de que ella se quejó nos encogimos y comemos por otros 10-15 minutos antes de terminar y me llevo a casa que está en el lado opuesto de donde estábamos estacionados y ella debe estar a través de los vecinos de la calle con mi novia.Ahora nunca he tenido un problema con nadie con respecto al ruido en este complejo principalmente porque yo mane en un a la noche.Pero mientras ella salía, me di cuenta de que la señora miraba por la ventana y parecía estar en el teléfono que me inspiró a hacer esta pregunta.Solo puedo imaginar que estaba llamando a la policía, pero realmente quiero saber si lo que hice era ilegal y si podría haber sido citado por ello.Estoy familiarizado con mis leyes de escape de estados (Nevada)Yo era muy meticuloso al leer sobre ellos antes de instalar un sistema de posventa y no hay cerca de ninguno.Hay una ley que limita los decibelios emitidos por un escape pero no se hace cumplir en absoluto e incluso entonces es cuando el motor es como la mitad de RPM o algo así.Así que estaba en el mal?O puedo decirle a la señora que se estropee la próxima vez.O sea la manera en que necesita acostumbrarse a él porque mi novia no puede conducir todavía y yo soy exclusivamente su paseo básicamente en cualquier lugar.Para y desde el trabajo (viernes y sábados que cerramos a las 12, así que ella está en casa alrededor de las 12:45 y desde la escuela (yo soy responsable de recoger a múltiples personas y yo la recojo alrededor de las 6:30) si alguien tiene conocimiento.

This happened in Washington State in February. I proceeded straight through an intersection with a green light and had the right of way. It was an intersection allowing left hand turns on green if it was a circle. There was a sign next to the light stating that you yield on green. He entered the intersection, turning left, and we hit each other on the front corner of our cars, making it unclear to everyone who was at fault apparently. After the accident he said I ran a red light and he had a "green arrow" giving him the right of way. The cops issued no citation to either of us and the cops plus the insurance companies didn't try to gather evidence or video footage to prove who was at fault. They left it as a "he said she said." No witnesses stayed to give a statement. His insurance company denied my claim. I have now contacted a lawyer but they want to handle the case I had last year where the person admitted that day they were at fault and it's already a "win" for me as everything will be covered and taken care of. I'm at a loss here. I don't want to get a lawyer at all let alone a lawyer for a case that I'm already going to get a settlement for just to lose a third of what I'd be getting. I need help with this latest case and honestly don't know what I can do to prove he was lying. I stood on the street corner with a sign practically begging for witnesses and the only guy that stopped to tell me he'd witnessed it never called me. I need help. I've never had to deal with lawyers and I feel like I'm in a terrible situation where I'm just going to be taken advantage of and exploited. They said they'd think about taking on my second accident after they take care of the first one. What verbage do I need to use here? What language do I need to find a lawyer that's going to take care of the accident I need real help on? What things can I do myself to solve this that I'm not seeing? She said something about a Public Disclosure Something that I could file the get the footage from a gas station that said they wouldn't release the video without a warrant but even with me saying there were cameras at the intersection and the gas station she said it'd be hard to prove and was "murky" who was at fault. She instead seemed intent on spending up to $5,000 on a special witness to "reconstruct" the accident. I wouldn't post here if I wasn't desperate. This whole thing has made my life hell and I want justice. He severely hurt me, cost me thousands of dollars, and is getting away with it because of one small lie.

Accidente automovilístico sin testigos Esto sucedió en el estado de Washington en febrero.Procedí directamente a través de una intersección con luz verde y tenía el derecho de paso.Era una intersección que permitía girar la mano izquierda en verde si era un círculo.Había una señal junto a la luz que decía que cedías en verde.Entró en la intersección, girando a la izquierda, y nos golpeamos unos a otros en la esquina delantera de nuestros coches, haciendo que no quedara claro a todos los que estaban en la falla aparentemente.Después del accidente dijo que yo corría una luz roja y que tenía una "flecha verde" que le daba el derecho de paso.Los policías no emitieron ninguna cita a ninguno de nosotros y los policías además de las compañías de seguros no trataron de reunir pruebas o video para probar quién estaba en la culpa.Lo dejaron como "dijo ella".Ningún testigo se quedó para dar una declaración.Su compañía de seguros negó mi reclamación.Ahora me he puesto en contacto con un abogado, pero quieren manejar el caso que tuve el año pasado donde la persona admitió que estaban en la culpa y ya es un "gano" para mí como todo será cubierto y atendido.No quiero conseguir un abogado en absoluto y mucho menos un abogado para un caso que ya voy a conseguir un acuerdo para simplemente perder un tercio de lo que estaría consiguiendo.Necesito ayuda con este último caso y honestamente no sé lo que puedo hacer para probar que estaba mintiendo.Me paré en la esquina de la calle con una señal prácticamente rogando por testigos y el único tipo que se detuvo para decirme que había sido testigo de que nunca me llamó.Necesito ayuda.Nunca he tenido que tratar con abogados y me siento como si estuviera en una situación terrible en la que sólo voy a ser aprovechado y explotado.Dijeron que pensarían en tomar mi segundo accidente después de que se ocuparan de la primera.¿Qué verbo necesito usar aquí?¿Qué idioma necesito para encontrar un abogado que vaya a cuidar del accidente que necesito ayuda real?Qué cosas puedo hacer yo mismo para resolver esto que no estoy viendo?Dijo algo sobre una divulgación pública Algo que podría presentar el material de una estación de gas que dijo que no liberarían el video pero que estaba en la cámara de video y que estaba diciendo que estaba en la intersección.En cambio, ella parecía dispuesta a gastar hasta $5,000 en un testigo especial para "reconstruir" el accidente.No publicaría aquí si no estuviera desesperada.Todo esto ha hecho de mi vida un infierno y quiero justicia.Me lastimó gravemente, me costó miles de dólares, y se está saliendo con la suya debido a una pequeña mentira.

I dated a Tahitian girl for a few years, and she eventually moved to South Carolina with me and we got married in order to accelerate the green card process. We had lived together before without problems, but this time around things blew up. We were married for about six months when she moved out in March 2013 and we decided on a divorce. Considering no kids, no shared property, nothing to be divided up, I'm attempting a self-litigated (pro se) divorce, for which the forms are already organized in a packet on the SC court website. From what I had read I know that in SC, in a no-fault divorce, we needed a year of separation without cohabitation to be completed before we could file for divorce. I'm gearing up to file in March, but she moved back to Tahiti last year and is not responding to my emails and I don't know her address. How am I supposed to serve her in another hemisphere when I don't know where she is? I'm guessing that any other way to serve her is going to be ridiculously complicated and expensive and I'm getting worried. How would the court handle this situation?

Necesito un divorcio en SC, cónyuge ha dejado el país, no responde. Salí con una chica tahitia por unos años, y finalmente se mudó a Carolina del Sur conmigo y nos casamos para acelerar el proceso de la tarjeta verde. Habíamos vivido juntos antes sin problemas, pero esta vez alrededor de las cosas estalló. Estábamos casados durante unos seis meses cuando se mudó en marzo de 2013 y decidimos divorciarnos. Considerando que no había niños, no había propiedad compartida, nada que dividir, estoy tratando de un divorcio auto-litigado (pro se), para el que los formularios ya están organizados en un paquete en el sitio web de la corte SC. Por lo que había leído, sé que en SC, en un divorcio sin fallas, necesitábamos un año de separación sin cohabitación para completar antes de que pudiéramos solicitar el divorcio. Me estoy preparando para presentar en marzo, pero ella se mudó de nuevo a Tahití el año pasado y no responde a mis correos electrónicos y no conozco su dirección.

California: Married. If I have a separate property in stock, sell it, as I understand it remains my separate property. However, if it appreciates by use of my brains or skills, there could be a community interest. As long as I'm not actively appreciating it. I would prefer to stock buy SP500 index fund, but that could be construed as "my \[marital\] efforts". Would employing a robo advisor protect against this?

Apparently a kid on the bus told someone that she noticed questionable content on the phone (I actually spoke with the child and her mother. The questionable content turned out to be a pop up on some game they were playing). This morning, my daughter was told to hand over her phone and password. She did, because she didn't know what was going on and didn't want to get in trouble. Later she was called down to the assistant principal's office. He proceeded to tell her he found stuff (he didn't elaborate) in her search history and called her a liar when she told him she didn't know what he was talking about. Throughout all this, no one ever called me. They still haven't, and they still have her phone. She's an honor roll student and has never been in trouble before. She was crying and terrified when she got home. Does the school have a right to do this? It's a public school in Michigan.

Mi hija de 12 años tenía su teléfono confiscado en la escuela. El director entonces exigió la contraseña y pasó por el contenido. ¿Es legal? Aparentemente un niño en el autobús le dijo a alguien que notó contenido cuestionable en el teléfono (en realidad hablé con el niño y su madre. El contenido cuestionable resultó ser un pop up en algún juego que estaban jugando). Esta mañana, a mi hija le dijeron que le entregara su teléfono y contraseña. Ella lo hizo, porque no sabía lo que estaba pasando y no quería meterse en problemas. Más tarde la llamaron a la oficina del subdirector. Él procedió a decirle que encontró cosas (no las elaboró) en su historial de búsqueda y la llamó mentirosa cuando le dijo que no sabía de qué estaba hablando. A lo largo de todo esto, nadie me llamó. Todavía no, y todavía tienen su teléfono. Ella es una estudiante de honor y nunca ha estado en problemas. Ella estaba llorando y aterrorizada cuando llegó a casa. ¿Tiene derecho la escuela a hacer esto?

My dad has a business valued at $1M+ and employed my uncle when he got citizenship. My uncle after learning everything launched his own rival company to my dad. My dad would give him jobs and he would secretly steal our customers and take the money from the job and not pay us. Our customers called us and told my dad that’s uncle was billing him to another company and not my dads. My dad got into an argument but is way to soft and didn’t even fire my uncle. He just left. My dad won’t even collect the money my uncle stole or die him because he doesn’t want his sister (my uncles wife) to go into poverty again (my dad grew up poor and built a very successful business from scratch). Is there anything I can do? It’s not right, he stole tens of thousands on top of the salary we paid him. Also he wouldn’t work half the time and called in sick but we still payed him even though we knew he was lying. What can I do as the son of my father. I’m not legally an adult but will be in 2 years. I can probably get my dad to transfer ownership of his company to me since he already wants to retire after we pay off our mortgage.

Tío robó dinero de los negocios de papás Mi papá tenía un negocio valorado en $1M+ y empleado a mi tío cuando obtuvo la ciudadanía. Mi tío después de aprender todo lanzó su propia compañía rival a mi papá. Mi papá le daba trabajos y él robaba secretamente a nuestros clientes y tomaba el dinero del trabajo y no nos pagaba. Nuestros clientes nos llamaron y le dijeron a mi papá que el tío le estaba facturando a otra compañía y no a mis papás. Mi papá se metió en un argumento pero es manera de suave y no incluso despedir a mi tío. Él acaba de salir. Mi papá ni siquiera recoger el dinero que mi tío robó o morir porque él no quiere que su hermana (mi esposa de tíos) vaya a la pobreza de nuevo (mi padre creció pobre y construyó un negocio muy exitoso desde cero). ¿Hay algo que yo puedo hacer? No es correcto, él robó decenas de miles de encima del salario que le pagamos. También él no iba a trabajar la mitad del tiempo y llamó a enfermo pero todavía le pagamos fuera de casa.

In California, Contra Costa County. Husband & I lived in a condo for almost 4 years til our landlady sent a move-out notice so she could fully remodel and put her family in the unit.  The only damage left when we moved was one broken mirrored sliding closet door and a 5-inch crack in the shower enclosure. The shower crack was there when we moved in but unfortunately it wasn't documented.  Mind you, the lease specified this shower couldn't be cleaned with anything but liquid soap, as anything else strips the cheap caulking and lining. We never got a copy of the condition report when we moved in.  We requested a pre-moveout inspection that she conducted, but she didn't give us a physical itemized statement with the required Civil Code 1950.5(f)(2) language.  Instead, she texted an itemized list, including "dusty patio; dust in drawers; dust in refrigerator". It's my understanding those things can’t be on the list as they're normal wear and tear and can't be deducted from the deposit. After moving out, she sent us a physical itemized list with two estimates--one replacing the entire shower enclosure, and the other replacing 3 mirrored sliding closet doors.  Someone from Home Depot signed the sliding door estimate, saying that they do not install single door panels. The itemized list said that the total we owe against our security deposit was "TBD" (to be determined).  Is the remaining life of an item supposed to be considered when calculating repair cost? I contacted her multiple times asking when the shower and sliding doors were initially installed, but she wouldn’t respond. Tomorrow will be 21 days from when we vacated the premises.  Last night, she sent us an email with the 'current total' we owe, saying that we owe the full cost of replacing all 3 sliding closet doors as she's given us opportunity to repair them ourselves but we haven't done so.  She also says she'll send us her receipts within 14 days after she obtains them, and claims that the shower repair must first be approved by the HOA that doesn't meet until later this or next month. None of this seems legal, especially considering how she violated Civil Code 1950.5(f)(2).  I went through our lease and discovered she didn't complete the "Condition of Premises" section where she was supposed to "check all that apply", including the claim that tenants agreed to the specified condition.  The only thing checked was an item specifying the shower not be cleaned with anything but liquid soap. Are we liable for the full replacement cost of items if they were not new when we moved in?  Is she required to calculate the cost with consideration to the remaining life of the item(s)?  Is she allowed to bill us the full cost to replace 3 sliding doors when only 1 was damaged? Can she send us another bill in a month for the shower, which she thinks we're supposed to pay full cost to repair?  Our lease says that all parties involved must mediate first in the event of dispute. If she doesn't send us a valid estimate amount tomorrow, can we demand that she mediate as she's not made a good faith effort to be fair or follow the laws as specified?  I’m at my wits end with this lady.

Landlady made us move to remodel, wants us to pay for things we haven't damaged, & plans to send more bills past the 21-day window

Landlady made us move to remodel, wants us to pay for things we haven't damaged, & plans to send more bills past the 21-day window In California, Contra Costa County. Husband & I lived in a condo for almost 4 years til our landlady sent a move-out notice so she could fully remodel and put her family in the unit.  The only damage left when we moved was one broken mirrored sliding closet door and a 5-inch crack in the shower enclosure. The shower crack was there when we moved in but unfortunately it wasn't documented.  Mind you, the lease specified this shower couldn't be cleaned with anything but liquid soap, as anything else strips the cheap caulking and lining. We never got a copy of the condition report when we moved in.  We requested a pre-moveout inspection that she conducted, but she didn't give us a physical itemized statement with the required Civil Code 1950.5(f)(2) language.  Instead, she texted an itemized list, including "dusty patio; dust in drawers; dust in refrigerator". It's my understanding those things can’t be on the list as they're normal wear and tear and can't be deducted from the deposit.

La casera nos hizo mudarnos a remodelar, quiere que paguemos cosas que no hemos dañado, & planea enviar más facturas más allá de la ventana de 21 días en California, Condado de Contra Costa. Husband & Viví en un condominio durante casi 4 años hasta que nuestra casera envió un aviso de mudanza para que pudiera remodelar completamente y poner a su familia en la unidad.El único daño que quedó cuando nos mudamos fue una puerta de armario corredizo espejada y una grieta de 5 pulgadas en el recinto de la ducha.La grieta de la ducha estaba allí cuando nos mudamos pero lamentablemente no estaba documentado.Mencionaste que el contrato de arrendamiento especificaba que esta ducha no podía limpiarse con nada más que jabón líquido, ya que cualquier otra cosa despojaba al caulking y forro barato.Nunca recibimos una copia del informe de condición cuando nos mudamos.Pedimos una inspección previa al traslado que llevó a cabo, pero ella no nos dio una declaración detallada física con el código civil requerido 1950.5(f)(2) idioma.En cambio, nos envió un mensaje de texto, incluyendo "duros de polvo en cajones; polvo en nevera".Después de mudarse, nos envió una lista física detallada con dos estimaciones: una reemplazando todo el recinto de la ducha, y la otra reemplazando 3 puertas corredizas de armario espejadas.Alguien de Home Depot firmó el cálculo de la puerta corrediza, diciendo que no instalaban paneles de una sola puerta.La lista detallada decía que el total que debíamos contra nuestro depósito de seguridad era "TBD" (por determinar).Se supone que la vida restante de un artículo debe ser considerada al calcular el costo de reparación?Me puse en contacto con ella varias veces preguntando cuándo se instalaron inicialmente la ducha y las puertas corredizas, pero ella no respondería.Mañana serán 21 días desde que desalojamos el local.Anoche, ella nos envió un correo electrónico con el "total actual" que debemos, diciendo que debemos el costo total de reemplazar las 3 puertas corredizas de armario ya que ella nos ha dado la oportunidad de repararlas nosotros mismos pero no lo hemos hecho.También dice que nos enviará sus recibos dentro de los 14 días siguientes a su obtención, y afirma que la reparación de la ducha debe ser aprobada por la HOA que no se reúne hasta más tarde o el próximo mes.Fui a través de nuestro contrato de arrendamiento y descubrí que no completó la sección "Condición de Locales" donde se suponía que debía "revisar todo lo que aplica", incluyendo la afirmación de que los inquilinos aceptaron la condición especificada.Lo único comprobado fue un artículo que especificaba que la ducha no se limpiaba con nada más que jabón líquido.¿Somos responsables del costo total de reemplazo de los artículos si no eran nuevos cuando nos mudamos? ¿Se requiere que calcule el costo con la consideración de la vida restante del artículo o artículos? ¿Se le permite facturar el costo total para reemplazar 3 puertas correderas cuando sólo 1 fue dañado?¿Nos puede enviar otra factura en un mes para la ducha, que ella piensa que se supone que pagaremos el costo total para reparar?Nuestro contrato dice que todas las partes involucradas deben mediar primero en caso de disputa.Si ella no nos envía una cantidad estimada válida mañana, podemos exigir que ella media, ya que no ha hecho un esfuerzo de buena fe para ser justo o seguir las leyes especificadas?

This is in Western Illinois. I'm finishing up my last semester at university, and when I signed for this apartment they said that the lease was for a year but there would be no problem for them to find somebody to relet to. I agreed and signed the 12-month lease, as well as paid the $250 they asked for to put me on the 'relet list', which meant that they would look for another tenant to fill the room. That was in June. 6 months later and they still haven't found anyone to fill the room. I've been searching on Craigslist as well and haven't found anyone myself, and after talking with the landlord again she doesn't seem willing to cut any sort of deal (offered her the $250 fee mentioned above and the $655 security deposit, no dice). Pretty sure I'm fucked here. I have absolutely no way of paying the rest of the rent amount now that loan checks have stopped, and my student employment is done with now that I'm no longer a student. Is there anything else I can do to get out of this arrangement? And if not, how can I prevent getting sued? I feel like the ridiculous amount of time I gave them to find another tenant and the $250 fee should make this easier, but I don't know.

Long story short, I said ‘no’ to a last minute dinner my father and step mother are having just before he leaves for work on business (the usual stuff), and ever since they never ever stopped pestering me for the past 24 hours (calling and texting me with insults, guilt trips, etc) trying to force me to come, even tracked my phone to find where I was and offered to buy me a Lyft to go to their dinner. Not just my dad but my step mom too. Again, this is not a ‘special dinner’ and they don’t respect me or my time and they think they can do whatever they want and are sickening control freaks.

En un momento dado, ¿se convierte en acoso por parte de tus padres y padrastros? En resumen, dije que no a una cena de último minuto que mi padre y madre están teniendo justo antes de que se vaya a trabajar en el negocio (lo de siempre), y desde que nunca dejaron de molestarme durante las últimas 24 horas (llamando y mandándome mensajes de texto con insultos, viajes de culpa, etc.) tratando de obligarme a venir, incluso rastreó mi teléfono para encontrar dónde estaba y me ofrecieron comprarme un Lyft para ir a su cena. No solo mi padre sino mi madrastra también. De nuevo, esta no es una ‘cena especial’ y no me respetan ni a mí ni a mi tiempo y piensan que pueden hacer lo que quieran y son unos fenómenos de control enfermizos. Tengo 30 años por el amor de Dios.

So, my brother has two daughters with his ex wife (we'll call her Cathy) and he has another daughter on the way with his current girlfriend (we'll call her Shirley). My brother and Cathy don't have best relationship post divorce - but they split custody with their two kids and are able to mostly make things work. Cathy refuses to vaccinate their two daughters, age 6 and 3. Shirley is due in a couple months. Shirley has said she doesn't want the two daughters around the new born if they aren't vaccinated. So my brother asked for a mediation with Cathy to talk about it and she refused to sign the mediation papers and instead presented him with 'What Doctors Don't Want You Know About Vaccines' or some such thing. This is all taking place in Arizona by the way. He's not really sure what his options are. He doesn't want to just not see his daughters for like 6 months but he's not sure if there is any precedent or legal recourse that he may have to get a court order that his daughters be vaccinated. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Or has anyone faced a similar situation?

Mi hermano y Cathy no tienen la mejor relación después del divorcio - pero ellos dividen la custodia con sus dos hijos y son capaces de hacer que las cosas funcionen. Cathy se niega a vacunar a sus dos hijas, de 6 y 3 años de edad. Shirley se le debe en un par de meses. Shirley ha dicho que no quiere que las dos hijas alrededor de la recién nacida si no están vacunadas. Así que mi hermano pidió una mediación con Cathy para hablar de ello y ella se negó a firmar los papeles de mediación y en su lugar le presentó con '¿Qué doctores no quieren saber acerca de las vacunas' o algo así. Todo esto está teniendo lugar en Arizona por el camino. Él no está muy seguro de cuáles son sus opciones. Él no quiere simplemente no ver a sus hijas por 6 meses?

A family member (Jane for simplicity) used to work as a subcontractor for a franchise location of company X in Virginia until a bit less than a year ago. They quit mainly due to some mild but constant tension with a few coworkers. This company has franchise locations all over the US and recently one of the other contractors (Coworker) that continued employment with the same franchise location decided to purchase a franchise of their own (also in Virginia). Jane had found employment at another company, but was recently furloughed due to the pandemic. Coworker found out and offered Jane a position with their new franchise, but soon found out that the original franchise owner (Owner) put Jane on a hiring blacklist for company X. Owner told Coworker that they could not legally disclose that Jane is on the blacklist, though Coworker told Jane anyways. I have seen a few articles mentioning that such hiring blacklists are legal and some saying that it is not, especially if it is malicious job obstruction, which may be what this is. No one knows of any reason why Owner would have done this, other than some unknown personal grudge or an attempt to eliminate as much competition as possible. Jane did not leave without appropriate notice and seemed to be on good terms with everyone including Owner. No one has mentioned anything to Owner about knowing that Jane is on this blacklist yet to prevent Coworker from being dragged into any issues with Owner. Is this blacklisting legal in Virginia? Is there any action that Jane could take to get past this and pursue employment with Coworker?

A few days ago they called her into work, kept her in with no work that she could do, she was then been told to go home 4-5 hours later and been told her hours have been taken off. The manager said that the hours were taken off because she didn't do anything, turns out they were over staffed, that's not her fault and she wasn't told to go home. Surely this is not legal, they gave her the hours, she came in and wasn't told to go home?

El gerente dijo que las horas se habían quitado porque ella no hizo nada, resulta que estaban sobre personal, que no es su culpa y que no se le dijo que se fuera a casa.

Hi All, My wife and I have several kids, one of which has complex cardiac issues that have required open heart surgeries and will require more in the future. Also, because of his issues he has a shorter than normal life expectancy - sucks to say the least. I’m ashamed to admit it, but we’ve done nothing to ensure that if we both die, that the money goes to the right places, is controlled by the right people and to also ensure that should he be in a compromised state, he will have the right people making medical decisions for him as a minor. So my question.. is this done with a will? With a will? Where do I start with something like this? I also want directives on custody, handling of finances and so forth. Is this something that could be done through legal zoom or do I absolutely need an attorney? Trying to save as much as possible while also ensuring that this doesn’t end up in curt should something happen. Thanks!

I signed a year long internship contract that promised accommodation. It ended up being an apartment which was our new home and also the office for the company (we literally worked in our kitchen with our bosses during the week.) But most importantly they told us we couldn't tell anyone because it was illegal for anyone to live there since it was supposed to be a business and not a residence. It's been 6 months and I finally couldn't handle the toxic work environment, lies and lack of private space so I put my 2 weeks in yesterday. Today they told me THEY didn't want to be around MY negative attitude for another 2 weeks so I should just leave after this weekend. Even though before I quit they were about to assign me to tasks for all of January and talked about taking me to Hawaii in May for all my work. Not to even mention all the uncompensated overtime I did and emotional distress I went through these past 6 months, can I sue just based off of the contract promising what was illegal accommodation?

¿Violación del contrato de alojamiento ilegal? Firmé un contrato de pasantía de un año que prometía alojamiento. Terminó siendo un apartamento que era nuestro nuevo hogar y también la oficina de la empresa (trabajamos literalmente en nuestra cocina con nuestros jefes durante la semana). Pero lo más importante fue que nos dijeron que no podíamos decirle a nadie porque era ilegal para que alguien viviera allí ya que se suponía que era un negocio y no una residencia. Han pasado 6 meses y finalmente no pude manejar el ambiente de trabajo tóxico, mentiras y falta de espacio privado así que puse mis 2 semanas en ayer. Hoy me dijeron que no querían estar alrededor de MI actitud negativa durante otras 2 semanas, así que debería irme después de este fin de semana. Aunque antes de que yo lo dejara, estaban a punto de asignarme a tareas para todo enero y hablé de llevarme a Hawai en mayo por todo mi trabajo. Ni siquiera mencionar todas las horas extras sin compensación que hice y angustia emocional pasé por estos últimos 6 meses, ¿puedo demandar justo basado en el contrato que prometía lo que era alojamiento ilegal?

Location: Texas, USA Hoping someone might be able to provide a little bit of help with a conundrum my partner and I are having regarding the pet policy of the leasing office at the townhouse community we recently moved into. I totally appreciate that this is a pretty petty concern compared to a lot of what gets posted on here, but we thought it would be wise to reach out for advice in any case. We had been looking for a new place for awhile and, in particular, wanted to find one that would allow for extra large dogs. We both love Great Danes and with a rescue specifically for those that have hearing and sight issues due to bad backyard breeding in our area, decided that we wanted our new place to allow for us to adopt one of the many special needs adult dogs in our area a home. We spent a lot of time searching and finally found a place that said specifically on their pet policy page on their home site that "there is no weight limit for pets." In speaking to the leasing agent about this (and a Giant Breed dog in particular) he said it wasn't an issue so long as it didn't go against their breed restrictions, and confirmed that the group that owns this property has a 65lb rule, but that it didn't necessarily need to apply at this location. So here's where my question comes in: we had gotten all ready to foster-to-adopt a particular dog and had been in touch with the rescue. Today I went into the leasing office to discuss the process with our agent at which point he pulled out our signed contract that said "no dogs over 65lbs" in the fine print. He acknowledged that he had previously said it was ok to go above this limit, but only to the tune of 80lbs max or 100 at an absolute push if it was inconspicuous. Is there any sort of precedent here for false advertising or failing to give us accurate information when it was made clear that this was contingent upon our signing a lease at this property? We don't have a papertrail of this communication (hindsight is 20/20 now, I know), and aren't particularly interested in strongly pursuing the matter with a lawyer. Rather, we're just wondering if there's a case to be made where we can demonstrate to the office that our leasing agent/the web advertising of this community acted under false pretences. Thanks!

Texas:Gran discrepancia entre la política de mascotas que aparece en el sitio web de la casa de alquiler vs. en nuestro contrato de arrendamiento.¿Publicidad falsa?Ubicación: Texas, EE.UU. Esperando que alguien pueda proporcionar un poco de ayuda con un enigma mi pareja y yo estamos teniendo con respecto a la política de mascotas de la oficina de arrendamiento de la comunidad de casas adosadas en la que nos mudamos recientemente.Aprecio totalmente que esta sea una preocupación bastante pequeña en comparación con muchos de lo que se publica aquí, pero pensamos que sería prudente llegar a un consejo en cualquier caso.Habíamos estado buscando un nuevo lugar durante un tiempo y, en particular, queríamos encontrar uno que permitiera perros extra grandes.Amamos a los grandes daneses y con un rescate específico para aquellos que tienen problemas de audición y vista debido a la mala crianza en el patio trasero en nuestra zona, decidimos que queríamos que nuestro nuevo lugar nos permitiera adoptar uno de las muchas necesidades especiales de perros adultos en nuestra zona.Al hablar con el agente de arrendamiento sobre esto (y un perro de raza gigante en particular) dijo que no era un problema mientras no fuera contra sus restricciones de raza, y confirmó que el grupo que posee esta propiedad tiene una regla de 65lb, pero que no necesariamente tenía que aplicarse en este lugar.Así que aquí es donde viene mi pregunta: nos habíamos preparado para fomentar a un perro en particular y había estado en contacto con el rescate.Hoy fui a la oficina de arrendamiento para discutir el proceso con nuestro agente en el momento en que sacó nuestro contrato firmado que decía "ningún perro de más de 65lbs" en la letra fina.Reconoció que anteriormente había dicho que estaba bien ir por encima de este límite, pero sólo a la melodía de 80lbs máximo o 100 en un impulso absoluto si era discreto.Hay algún tipo de precedente aquí para la publicidad falsa o no darnos información precisa cuando se dejó claro que esto dependía de nuestra firma en esta propiedad?Más bien, nos estamos preguntando si hay un caso que hacer donde podemos demostrar a la oficina que nuestro agente de arrendamiento / la publicidad web de esta comunidad actuó bajo falsas pretensiones.¡Gracias!

Apologies for the flair if used incorrectly. I have family members who are living rent free with my dad at his home (he had a stroke in 2017 and is paralyzed on one side). They're "taking care of him". They've pawned/sold thousands of dollars worth of his things and drive his vehicle without a license. They're known drug users and they have several kids there. I don't speak with any of them and rarely talk to my dad. A few days ago, he was hospitalized and we're not sure if he's going to make it. He has five acres of land, two mobile homes, a vehicle, and several small storage buildings on the property. Now, should be die, I would assume it would all go to me (I'm an only child). But, they've claimed several times that he's told them they can have the car, the place, and all sorts of other things. The problem is that I don't have access to his life insurance, will, titles/deeds and such to actually see what's in them. How do I go about obtaining this information legally in a way that could not be held against me in court? And is there any way that I could take power of attorney in this situation and have them removed from the home and him put into a proper facility should he come home? Or, just... Idk... what can/should I do in general? He claims that he's of sound mind, but all it takes is having a conversation with him to realize he isn't. Thanks for any advice.

Affaire de la familia (Georgia) Disculpas por el estilo si se usa incorrectamente.Tengo familiares que viven gratis con mi padre en su casa (tenía un derrame cerebral en 2017 y está paralizado en un lado).Ellos están "cuidándolo".Ellos han empeñado / vendido miles de dólares en sus cosas y manejan su vehículo sin licencia.Ellos son conocidos consumidores de drogas y tienen varios niños allí.Yo no hablo con ninguno de ellos y rara vez hablo con mi padre.Hace unos días, él fue hospitalizado y no estamos seguros de si va a hacerlo.Él tiene cinco acres de tierra, dos casas móviles, un vehículo y varios pequeños edificios de almacenamiento en la propiedad.Ahora, debería morir, yo asumiría que todo iría a mí (yo soy un hijo único).Pero, ellos han reclamado varias veces que les ha dicho que pueden tener el coche, el lugar, y todo tipo de otras cosas.¿Y hay alguna manera de que yo pudiera tomar el poder notarial en esta situación y que se los sacara de la casa y lo pusiera en una instalación adecuada ¿debería volver a casa?O, simplemente...Idk... ¿qué puedo/debería hacer en general?Afirma que está sano de mente, pero todo lo que se necesita es tener una conversación con él para darse cuenta de que no lo está.Gracias por cualquier consejo.

I have felt from the start that the founder didn't like me and really didn't want to hire me based off of the interviews and interactions. So we had a meeting today and he tells me they are terminating my position because he doesn't feel like it was the right fit. When I asked for concrete reasons he could not give me any and said he would email them because they were from other people not him.

My grandmother’s landlord is threatening eviction due to her Knick-knacks on her porch being a “fire hazard” and me living and taking care of her. Her Knick-knacks are some signs, her chairs, and general porch decor. My grandmother for my most part is a very active woman, she mows her lawn and takes impeccable care of her home, pays her rent, and has never once missed a rent payment. She pays for two people to live here and two people are still on the old contract, as my grandfather lived here prior before he passed, but my grandmother’s and landlord contract has expired. Now she has just delivered us a college ruled piece of paper that says “Vacate in thirty days”. What should we do, if anything?

Mi abuela está amenazando con el desalojo debido a que sus Knick-knacks en su porche son un “riesgo de incendio” y yo vivo y cuido de ella. Sus Knick-knacks son algunas señales, sus sillas y la decoración general del porche. Mi abuela, por mi parte, es una mujer muy activa, corta su césped y cuida impecablemente de su casa, paga su alquiler, y nunca ha perdido un pago de alquiler. Ella paga por dos personas para vivir aquí y dos personas todavía están en el viejo contrato, ya que mi abuelo vivió aquí antes de que él muriera, pero el contrato de mi abuela y propietario ha expirado. Ahora ella acaba de entregarnos un pedazo de papel regulado de la universidad que dice “Vacate en treinta días”. ¿Qué debemos hacer, si es algo?

This story is in the USA, Michigan. My brother has autism and is maybe of average intelligence, probably somewhat below average. He struggles in a lot of things and in this story he will seem stupid due to a total lack of social skills and extreme gullibility/lack of "common sense" but he has a good heart. He met a woman who told him she was hungry and needed a ride home. He gave her cash for groceries then let her use his credit card to get a Lyft home. Very kind but extremely naive. When he gets his credit card bill he realizes she has been spending on his credit card (she obviously just has the number and info she took from the lyft ride, not the physical card itself). He gets scared, he calls her and asks her to stop. I dont know if he ever texted her or not (I'm going to find that out today). She tells him she will stop. Then the next month, he realizes she is still spending. He gets scared, and tries ordering a new card, thinking this will "stop" his first card. It obviously doesn't, and she continues to rack up charges in spite of his protests. Then and only then, he comes in tears to my mother (he was afraid she would be angry at him so he hid it ) and tells her what's going on so she was able to walk him through cancelling his card. Altogether, she spent over $6000 on his card, spending hundreds of dollars every day. It's a lot of money for anyone, certainly for a disabled man who is already struggling with just feeding himself and getting his medicines. ​ In a just world, this seems like obvious and cruel theft. But because he did share his credit card info willingly and permitted her to buy a lyft for herself, I know that the law is more complicated than that. I know a credit card agreement states that if you ever let someone use your card they are a "authorized card holder" until you both notify the bank otherwise, not sure if that includes a credit card number. Does he have any recourse with the police? Small claims? Is it civil or criminal or just the ugliness of life?

El hermano le dio a alguien su información de tarjeta de crédito, ¿tiene algún recurso legal?Esta historia se encuentra en los EE.UU., Michigan.Mi hermano tiene autismo y tal vez es de inteligencia media, probablemente un poco por debajo de la media.Él lucha en muchas cosas y en esta historia parecerá estúpido debido a la falta total de habilidades sociales y la extrema credulidad/falta de "sentido común" pero tiene un buen corazón.Él conoció a una mujer que le dijo que tenía hambre y necesitaba un viaje a casa.Él le dio dinero para la compra y luego le dejó usar su tarjeta de crédito para conseguir una casa de Lyft.Muy amable pero extremadamente ingenuo.Cuando recibe su factura de tarjeta de crédito se da cuenta de que ha estado gastando en su tarjeta de crédito (obviamente sólo tiene el número y la información que tomó de la cabalgata, no la tarjeta física en sí misma).Él se asusta, la llama y le pide que pare.No sé si alguna vez le envió un mensaje de texto o no (voy a descubrirlo hoy).Ella le dice que se detendrá.Entonces y sólo entonces, él viene en lágrimas a mi madre (él tenía miedo de que ella se enojaría con él así que lo escondió) y le dice lo que está pasando así que ella fue capaz de caminar a través de la cancelación de su tarjeta.En conjunto, ella gastó más de $6000 en su tarjeta, gastando cientos de dólares cada día.Es mucho dinero para cualquier persona, ciertamente para un hombre discapacitado que ya está luchando con sólo alimentarse y conseguir sus medicamentos. ​ En un mundo justo, esto parece un robo obvio y cruel.Pero porque él compartió su información de la tarjeta de crédito voluntariamente y le permitió comprar un lyft para sí misma, sé que la ley es más complicada que eso.Sé que un acuerdo de tarjeta de crédito dice que si alguna vez dejas que alguien use su tarjeta son un "titular de tarjeta autorizado" hasta que ambos notifiquen al banco de otra manera, no seguro si eso incluye un número de tarjeta de crédito.

My girlfriend got a job at a place recently, went to a 3 hour meeting/training and then worked a 4 hour trial shift. Word then got around that she wasn’t hired and that she wasn’t going to be hired either. She then just quit and picked up her paycheck. Her “employer” then said that they were paying half minimum wage and not paying for the meeting because it wasn’t actually mandatory (even though it was mentioned so). The meeting still involved them getting trained and cleaning the place though. When my girlfriend challenged her employer, they told her it wasn’t actually against the law to pay below minimum wage and that since she didn’t go to the 3 day training yet, she could have just been paid nothing. Basically a kind of “I’m being nice to you so stop complaining” threat. I’ve looked online and saw that you have to pay for training interviews anyway so even if she wasn’t hired she would still have to be paid. We also looked at the Washington State and US labor laws and saw that no employer can pay below 85% minimum and only so with a learner’s certificate. Even then, half minimum is still below 85%. I’m not sure where the law stands about the meeting though. She has now quit because the manager is all types of awful, but is there anything that can be done to salvage the situation and make sure her employer won’t rip off any more employees? Or is there some fine print that she is taking advantage of? Edit: The employee is doing this to all their employees. It’s not just my girlfriend. They have their own group chat without the managers and they’re all upset.

Mi novia consiguió un trabajo en un lugar recientemente, fue a una reunión de 3 horas / formación y luego trabajó un turno de prueba de 4 horas. Se dio cuenta entonces de que ella no estaba contratada y que no iba a ser contratada tampoco. Ella simplemente renunció y recogió su sueldo. Su “empleador” entonces dijo que estaban pagando la mitad del salario mínimo y no pagando por la reunión porque no era realmente obligatorio (a pesar de que se mencionó así).La reunión todavía les implicó entrenarse y limpiar el lugar aunque.Cuando mi novia desafió a su empleador, le dijeron que en realidad no estaba en contra de la ley pagar por debajo del salario mínimo y que como ella no iba a la formación de 3 días todavía, podría haber pagado nada.Básicamente una especie de “estoy siendo amable con usted así que dejar de quejarse” amenaza.He mirado en línea y visto que usted tiene que pagar entrevistas de entrenamiento de todos modos tan incluso si no se le había contratado todavía tiene que pagar.No estoy seguro de dónde está la ley sobre la reunión, sin embargo.Ella ha dejado de fumar porque el gerente es todo tipo de horrible, pero ¿hay algo que se puede hacer para salvar la situación y asegurarse de que su empleador no estafará a más empleados? ¿O hay alguna letra pequeña que se está aprovechando de?Editar:El empleado está haciendo esto a todos sus empleados.No es sólo mi novia.Tienen su propio grupo de chat sin los gerentes y todos están molestos.

We live in Michigan (USA) I'm not sure if the "USA" Part matters *We are both sophomores in high school* I would usually help my friends by giving them a hug or talking them through it but I can't. His parents very recently got separated and are fighting for his custody, and he says he needs to get school work done or else he will get taken away from his dad but can't find the ambition to get it done. He doesn't want to live with his mom and *needs* to live with his dad. But the thing is, I've talked to many teachers and they all say you don't need to do the work to get credit as long as you were passing in the 3rd marking period because of quarantine. So what I'm wondering: How can doing schoolwork help/hurt him even though he doesn't technically need to do it? Can he say something in court about not being able to mentally find the ambition to do work? If so will that help/hurt him? And anything else you lovely Reddit strangers can help my friend with would be GREATLY appreciated 🙏

Así que lo que me pregunto es: ¿Cómo puedo hacer trabajo escolar ayuda / no lo hace aunque técnicamente no necesita hacerlo?

The TL;DR is what is the Georgia DCFS's requirement to notify there's an open investigation against you? Do they only make contact in-person or would they call / write if there was a case? Long story / details I'll try to make as easy to follow as possible while not leaving anything out: * Girlfriend (we'll call H) has child. Has roommate (we'll call K) - they don't get along super well, but no big fighting, everything fairly amicable. * One night, H and I go out to dinner, K agrees to babysit * K calls baby-daddy's sister (we'll call J) saying that we just left and he's crying. K has not called H to say he's crying and needs here (we would have come back immediately). * K claims that H is always drunk, on drugs, etc etc (none of which is true - drug test could be passed with ease). Tells J and many others this. * K moves out but continues making false claims, etc. Days later... * J is a teacher. She claims that the department of education called her and she's in trouble because K opened a DCFS report and being that she was involved and is a mandatory reporter that didn't report, she's in trouble. * J gets a lawyer - lawyer recommends signing temporary custody to her or to baby daddy (but is even hesitant to do the latter) in order to avoid DCFS not taking kid away (although they would have no reason to even if there's an investigation) Here's what we find fishy: * DCFS has not contacted H this entire time (original incident was day after Christmas) * Dept of ed SUPPOSEDLY called J on New Year's Eve (DOE website indicates they are closed then). * As a mandated reporter, according to OCGA 19-7-5, J would only have 24 hours to report before being in trouble anyways. (But IANAL so idk if I'm reading that correctly) * Baby daddy has also not heard anything from DCFS yet. * All the things that J says H is doing wrong are false accusations she heard from K - never did she witness or suspect any of these things until this point, nor is there any proof or evidence that they're true. A disgruntled ex-roommate spreading rumors is the gist. Is there a good way to find out if there's an investigation open?

[Georgia USA]Si se abre una investigación DCFS en su contra, ¿qué tan pronto deben notificar?El TL;DR es el requisito de la DCFS de Georgia para notificar que hay una investigación abierta en su contra?¿Sólo hacen contacto en persona o llamarían / escribirían si hubiera un caso?Larga historia / detalles Voy a tratar de hacer lo más fácil posible de seguir mientras que no dejar nada fuera:*Chirlfriend (llamaremos a H) tiene niño.Tiene compañero de cuarto (llamaremos a K) - no se llevan muy bien, pero no hay grandes peleas, todo lo bastante amigable.*Una noche, H y yo salimos a cenar, K acepta que babysit *K llama a la hermana de baby-paddy (llamaremos a J) diciendo que acabamos de salir y está llorando.K no ha llamado a H para decir que está llorando y necesita aquí (habríamos vuelto inmediatamente a hablar con K's H's (llamaremos a J'll) diciendo que acabamos de salir y está llorando.K no ha llamado a H's, y muchos más tarde se han hecho saber que J's, pero K's se ha* J consigue un abogado - abogado recomienda firmar la custodia temporal a ella o a papá bebé (pero es incluso vacilante hacer esto último) con el fin de evitar DCFS no llevarse a los niños (aunque no tendrían ninguna razón para incluso si hay una investigación) Esto es lo que encontramos sospechoso: * DCFS no ha contactado a H todo este tiempo (el incidente original fue el día después de Navidad) * Departamento de ed SUPPOSEDLY llamado J en Nochevieja (el sitio web de DOE indica que están cerrados entonces).* Como reportero con mandato, de acuerdo con OCGA 19-7-5, J sólo tendría 24 horas para informar antes de estar en problemas de todos modos.(Pero IANAL tan idk si estoy leyendo correctamente)* Bebé papá no ha escuchado nada de DCFS todavía.* Todas las cosas que J dice que H está haciendo mal son acusaciones falsas que escuchó de K - nunca fue testigo o sospechoso de nada de estas cosas hasta este punto, ni hay ninguna prueba o evidencia de que son ciertas.
