I need some advice from someone, anyone who has either been through a similar situation, or is well versed in law regarding these types of situations.

I live with my grandmother in NH, and she is being sued as part of her estate by a nursing home that took care of her husband until he died.

Since he died and she was apart of the estate, the bill went to her.

But she couldn't afford to pay it, so she put it off, and now they are suing her for 22 grand.

She called the nursing home and pleaded to pay it off monthly, but they want it all up front and they are taking her to court.

She's elderly, disabled, legally blind and a veteran.

There's no way they could force her to sell the house if she's all of those right?

We're looking to hire a lawyer to represent her in court, but in the meantime some advice on what to do or what could happen best or worst case scenario would really help put our minds at ease.

Hello,

For now, I am going to keep away from dropping any names, because I would like to consult a lawyer before I start posting my experience and review all over the internet.

I purchased a 2017 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi back in 2022 from a big brand dealership (they make not so great cars but it ain't no mom and pop shop). Truck had 78k miles at the time, so I also purchased the extended warranty sold to me by the dealership, but fulfilled by a 3rd party. Cost of warranty for 36k miles/36mo was $3300.

I had my manifolds replaced under warranty at about 82k miles by this dealership and it was a nightmare to deal with them, took 3 weeks to get done. All was fine and dandy until 102k when I heard them leaking again, but this time there was also the infamous lifter/camshaft chatter. I took it to said dealership (required per warranty, if I'm within 15 miles of them I have to go there; no exceptions) on December 10th.

There was a lot of back and forth, diagnostic, and warranty company requiring complete engine teardown before any approvals would take place. In this case, if they decide to decline said repairs, I am responsible for the diagnostic cost. Which, after complete teardown, came to about $4,000 alone (can't remember the exact number but it was in that ballpark, dealership charges $192 per hour). I was already in shambles because I literally can't afford that, but looking back now that should've been the least of my concerns. I had to step in multiple times because the dealership couldn't be bothered to answer the emails from the warranty company.

December 28th came around and they sent an inspector to verify claim, deemed lifters/valve/valve springs/ pushrods/manifolds and gaskets to be replaced, but NOT the camshaft. I tried to argue that replacing all those without replacing the camshaft is bad, and they're not going to wear even. They said camshaft is fine and doesn't need replacing. After all, they're not in the business of paying claims.

I asked dealership (specifically the service manager - all this time he has been my person of contact... or lack thereof, since he never bothers to return my calls or answer the phone; to be mentioned, that they have ZERO service advisors and only a service manager) to quote me the camshaft replacement. They said it's going to be $896 for the camshaft, and an extra 4 hours of labor at $192 per hour, bringing it to $1664 before taxes. While costly, I said to myself it could be worse, so I bit the bullet and approved the repair.

I called back the next day to see if they have ordered the cam, when I was hit with 'Oh, we were wrong, it's actually 14 hours of labor and not 4'. My heart sunk, and told them I would call them back. I reached to other dealerships for a quote, and while none of them got back to me, online research said that it's anywhere from 14 to 16 hours of labor to replace camshaft, from a complete engine teardown, replace cam and put it back together. At this point, they had everything out anyway so I didn't understand why they were saying it would be 14 hours. Went back there in person the next day to talk to the service manager, explained what I found and he called the tech over the phone. He asked the tech what he would consider a fair amount of hours to replace the cam as well, to which he replied, 8 hours. While that is not the 4 hours I was initially told, it's not the 14 either so I did compromise on it. They also discounted the cost of the camshaft to $500, since I showed them that mopar website had it on sale for $410+tax+core charge. I had them do spark plugs as well, serpentine belt, and PCV. Total was $2336 for cam/bolt kit and labor.

That was the first week of January. Since then, I was promised multiple times that 'It will be done Friday', then pushed over to Saturday, then again to Monday. It's been the same weekly cycle since then, for 4 weeks at this point, and now it's February 1st as I am typing this. Last Saturday I went in there with my father, who has been a master technician, service advisor and shop/dealership manager for the past 40 years. While he tore into them pretty hard and they offered to knock $1000 off my cost, which I was more than happy to take, but at this point it's causing me greater losses. I've been borrowing vehicles from friends and family, paying some of them whatever I could. I am unable to get to work on Saturdays, mainly because I have nowhere to get transportation from, and I'm missing out on overtime which is my normal rate x1.5. Warranty only covered 7 days of rental, and dealership said that they have no loaners available. I also can't afford dishing out $250 a week for a rental car.

Now here's the kicker: last Saturday when we talked to them, they promised again it'll be done that day. They called me after their working hours to tell me that there was coolant leaking thru the passenger side head. Prior to that, they had that head sent to a machine shop to get the manifold bolt out. When it got back it was magically warped, but when I took the truck in nothing was leaking. Come Monday, I called again and urged them to get things moving, as I can't afford having any more downtime. Weekdays I can find a coworker here or there to carpool, but I'm missing out Saturdays of overtime; and I'm also running a small handyman business on the side during weekday evenings and weekends. I've been passing on customers for the last 2 months, and at this point most of them stopped contacting me because I can't provide the services they need. All of my tools are locked in the bed of the truck, and I don't have another vehicle.

They explained that, the manifold is warped due to the 'exhaust leak' I had and the heat made the aluminum head warp. I called BS on that because it's not how it works, the only way they could've warped the head was improper torquing sequence when it was put back together. As stated before, they sent the head to a machine shop to extract the manifold bolt that was broken in, quoting that whoever did the repair before didn't bother to fully extract it, and also there was an 'easy-out' stuck in there. The previous shop that did the manifolds at 82k miles was also them, but between that and now they got bought out by a different dealership chain. It's the same people working there, more or less.

Service manager finally ordered a new head, which they assured me that they will cover the cost of it. Head arrived on Thursday, but somehow it came with no bolts. They ordered the bolts Friday (yesterday), and starting working on it as of this morning (Saturday 02/01). When I found out that it wasn't going to be done Friday, I went in there to talk to the general manager. He was not available, but I spoke to the sales manager and laid out my case as humble as I could, but also emphasized how much money, time this is costing me. He went and spoke to the service manager, then came back and assured me that it'll be done the next day (Saturday, 02/01) one hundred percent. I told him that those words mean nothing to me, as I've been hearing them every Friday, Saturday and Monday for the last 4 weeks. Today, Saturday, I went in there at 12pm and told them I am not leaving without the truck. They tried to explain that it might not be done today, or if it's done it's going to be very late. I said that's ok, what's another wasted Saturday? I talked to the techs back and forth, and they seemed unaware of how hard the office side has dropped the ball. I even tried to be nice, to buy them lunch or sodas but they declined.

Come 2 o'clock, which is their closing time, I asked the service manager why is it not done yet. All they had left was to install the new head, intake, plug in the wires, oil change, coolant and burp the system, test drive and that is it. From opening to about 2 o'clock, all they managed was head, intake, and oil change. Service manager promised that they will be staying late to finish the truck. I said that's fine, I'm going to be here until it's done. At about 3 o'clock, one of the techs comes to me and starts explaining why they can't finish it, explaining that they have about 4 hours left of work. I said I can wait, because at this point this is so stupid that you've had my truck for nearly 2 months and you can't finish it. They kept making excuses as to why they want to finish it but it's hard and they have personal lives too. I said that I have one as well, and at this point everything is just on a freefall, from personal relations to work and just my general mental state. It might sound stupid to call it depression, but that is what it feels like when you keep being pushed over and I feel like never going to reach the end of it. At this point, any courtesy or politeness went out the window, because I can't deal with this stuff anymore. Sales manager came into the shop and asked me to leave the service bay, quoting liability reasons. I explained that the tech called me in to show me the progress, and told him what the techs said. He tried to convince them to stay late and finish it, and I explained again that my problem is not with the techs but how the whole situation was handled. Techs said they will stay till it's done.

About 3:30pm, I noticed that they're just shutting everything down. I went back to the sales manager and asked if they're going to finish it or not, because I've been here waiting for almost 4 hours on the 6th promise they made that it's going to be done. I also brought up the fact that I noticed one of the techs was using the bumper of the truck, specifically the fascia between grill and lower bumper, as a step to get into the engine bay. That, and one of my wheels laying on the floor as they're stepping all over the face of the rim as well. Then, throw in the fact that they managed to put a thumb size dent on my passenger fender. He inspected it himself and said they will have a mobile dent guy come fix it at no charge, but unfortunately truck is not going to be done today either. They can't offer a loaner as they don't have any, nor did they want to give me a vehicle off the lot. They did offer me a shuttle home, which was my only option. I told him that I will be taking another day off from work on Monday and come there at opening time, and I will stay there until my truck is done. He tried to reason that there is no need for that and they can deliver my vehicle. I said that is not an option, because at this point I am basically forced to babysit there as it's clear to me that unless I apply pressure, my vehicle is not getting worked on.

I am completely drained, financially and mentally. My stress and anxiety is at an all-time high. I've considered reaching out to a lawyer for mental distress, lost time, and professional malpractice, but I don't know if I have a case. Monday, I will be asking again to talk to the general manager and lay my case, with the incompetence presented by the service department as well as how they're treating my truck and the body damage done to it. Furthermore, I will be sending all this information to their corporate as well, because nobody deserves to be treated this way, but only after I get my truck back. That, and leaving negative reviews everywhere I can. I also told the sales manager that when I bought the truck, the sales experience was pleasant and completely zero hassle... but due to my experience with the service department, I will never ever ever buy a vehicle from there again. Any advice is welcome, I tried googling to see if anyone else has been in a similar situation but couldn't find anything. Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone. My ex and I have been separated for 3 years. We were married for 4 when we split. I was going to start divorce proceedings early 2023 when I found out he was out of the country. I can get ahold of him if I really wanted to but we did have a tumultuous separation and I would rather not get ahold of him. I don’t want to rehash my own feelings about it. He is now living in Europe with a partner and a family. We have no shared assets. I don’t care if he owns anything. I want nothing of his. I know the best case scenario is to hire an international family law attorney which I am willing to do but would it be fairly easy? I heard I’d have to serve through Hague Service Convention if I cant manage to get ahold of him but I heard that process would take over a year. Would a CA judges be okay if we amicably agreed to an uncontested divorce? And if I just mailed the paperwork to him via “certified” mail (I say “certified” because you can’t send certified mail internationally but you can send mail with tracking). I want this to be easy and painless. We’ve been separated so long than I hold no ill will against him and he’s started a family of his own I’m sure he feels the same way. I just don’t fuck with him and would rather not talk to him lol.

Anyone recently gotten a green card with a drug paraphernalia citation , I was not arrested just cited. I got this ticket three weeks ago and I’m to apply for a family based green card this year but I’m afraid. First offense ever and I hired an attorney already, court scheduled in a month. Anyone else have this ticket. I feel like it’s over for me after all my hard work to get to this point.

Posted in another forum as well.

Our infant was injured at daycare yesterday, at the fault of the daycare. We go to a center for context.

My son (11 months) experienced burns from a water from a bottle warmer requiring us to go to the ER and a burn clinic next week for follow up. It was pretty bad, and blisters are still coming up. Thankfully he’s acting normal.

So far this is where we’re at with it:

Daycare called us after 40 min of first aid.

We ended up taking him to the ER. ER Applied bandages and referred us to a burn clinic.

They did give us an incident report. I have not signed it.

I have phenomenal insurance. As long as doctors are in network, we’ll pay $0 out of pocket.

I don’t know where the line is drawn to handle things in house or work with an attorney. We’ve been assured we won’t pay for days missed due to injury (obviously but I did have to clarify this wouldn’t happen).

I don’t think they are the type to be out of ratio, but they do have cameras. We haven’t asked or seen video yet.

The hospital will file a report with the state. My sister works for DHS and confirmed they have to as mandatory reporters. She said to expect a follow up with them to validate their report I guess.

This is not fun. And to be a little petty/vent, if I pay them $360 a WEEK, I better not have to worry about my infant getting burned like he was. It if was anywhere but his leg, the ER said he’d be on an ambulance going the 2 hours to the burn clinic.

Any input is helpful. Already considering talking with a personal injury attorney but never been in this situation so I’m at a loss.

A contract with an agreed price was made last month. Anticipated delivery was this week. Actual delivery will probably be mid- February.

Will a tariff be imposed before delivery? If so, who would be responsible for paying it?

I put “attack” in quotations as an attention getter because my dog didn’t actually attack anybody or any dog.

He was in my front yard tonight and saw a dog coming down the street and started walking toward it. He never left my property.

We have a dark street with deep drainage ditches on the side with no sidewalks. She must’ve been started and pulling her dog back, thinking our dog was going to do something. We have a very sweet hound dog who is well trained on voice command. He responded immediately to my Call to return to me and never got within 15-20 feet of the accuser.

The woman fell into the ditch and hurt her ankle. I asked if she was OK and she replied we will see. She called animal control and they came to my house for a report.

I’ve never had to deal with a situation like this before. Did she report this because she wants to do something to my dog? Based on the information that I’ve given, can anybody suggest any liability that it might have even though my dog didn’t come within 20 feet of them? The video is dark and grainy, but I have video that shows my dog retracting to me via voice command and not coming within 20 feet of them.

Appreciate anybody’s take on this. Thank you.

I am an adult and I live with my mom (I pay rent). She is extremely abusive. I am in the process of moving out. I have a cat. My mom frequently lets my cat get outside. I have explained countless times to my mom that she cannot let my cat outside because it is dangerous but she doesn’t care and continues to do it. she even claims she doesn’t know my cat got out sometimes and leaves her outside for a long time while I’m not home. Her friends have also accidentally let my cat outside and didn’t bring her back in. my mom says it’s not her responsibility because my cat runs outside too quickly when she opens the door. but somehow I manage to never let my cat out. do I have any legal action available to take against my mom now or especially in the case that my cat gets injured/killed?

Would "intentionally" overloading electronic capacitors with the intention of projecting them in a direction of course with the intention to specifically avoid bodily harm to themselves or others violate the explosives regulation 2013 under the explosives act of 2003 page 12 clause 4 part 1 preliminary number 4 prescription of explosives (but I would also like to know of any other legal barriers involved with the main question above) specifically.

So I recently have been trying to start my own business and I got my first client late 2023. This was a bigger project than I anticipated so it took me almost a full year to complete. I do 3d renderings and the client wanted 28 or so floor plan renderings for their website.

Long story short, I completed the project, and sent them the final images and files according to the contact. They said they would get right back to me about payment. I heard nor saw anything from them and kept messaging them. Hey kept redondo that they are working on getting the funding for it. It has been over 3 months now and still nothing.

I decided to look into their business a bit more and it showed that their business is administratively dissolved. Not 100% sure of the definition but essentially they messed up somewhere and are legally not allowed to continue to work in their capacity or something.

My question: is there a good chance I will never get paid for all that work I did? What are my options? I thought about small claims court but would they be able to do anything at this point? If the business ends up going under for some reason, will I be part of the debts they have to pay when they liquidize? Not the best way to get started with a business for sure.

I am in the US just in case that is relevant.

I was trying to cat fish girls on snap and I was talking to a girl she sent me some pics normal ones she was 18+ but I told her at the end I’m a catfish and started talking shit and making fun of her she starts screen shotting the chat can I be in any trouble she lives in Canada I’m in VA 28 male

We opened it together after getting married. The balance at point of separation was split. He took half and said he was advised by a lawyer to do so in case I decide to empty it. Anyway I took the other half. Through the divorce process I asked him to assist me many times to close our joint account and he’s ignored my requests. Now I haven’t gone in person, but mostly everything I’ve read online states that both parties need to authorize the closing of the account. He does not bank at the bank that we opened the joint account for. I do. He’s been sending his paycheques there for some bizarre reason and then transferring them to himself. I feel like it’s a trap, or just an arrogant tactic to show off his money. We are nearly 1 year since signing formal separation agreement. When I ask him to close the account he says it doesn’t belong to me and I “shouldn’t have access”. I tried to explain we are both name holders of the account. I feel like he’s just doing it as a way to show how much I got screwed in the divorce, or what I gave up? Idk. If I empty the account, as a way to entice the process of closing it, I feel he will come asking for the money and probably threaten to sue me. As long as I give the money back, there should be no issue right?

TIA

My bffs parents are threatening to get a contact order for Grandparent Rights after she and he husband decided it was best that they go no contact with them after she tried to set some boundaries with her mother and her mother blew it out of proportion (screaming and swearing while BFF is holding her baby) and then refusing to apologies for it and then sending nasty messages to her and declining to resolve things with third party councelling.

They now are saying that they will do the third party councelling but if my BFF doesn't set up the appointment that they will do a contact order to see the grandkids and get Grandparent Rights.

BFF and husband feel like they are not able to trust the safety of there kids with grandparents (nothing has happened but her mother can be a very toxic person) and they do not want anything to do with them after everything that was said after asking for boundaries to be respected.

Do grandparents have grounds to get contact order approved?

I was in a car accident last week when another driver hit my driver-side passenger door and popped my tire. I had to replace my tire and two baby car seats out of pocket. The at-fault driver’s insurance admitted responsibility for all damages, but despite sending my receipts to four different people, they all claim they haven’t received them.

The insurance company asked me to take pictures of my car and provided an estimate of $3,000 without ever sending me to a body shop. When I got my own estimate, the actual repair cost was over $5,000, but the insurance refused to cover that amount. Because of this, I hired a lawyer.

Now, my lawyer says they will handle all communication with the insurance company and advised me to start seeing a chiropractor. However, this feels a bit questionable to me. I was hoping to save time by hiring a lawyer, not waste it on unnecessary chiropractor visits. I only went once for about 15 minutes, and I don’t want to go back—even though I know the lawyer likely wants a larger settlement.

I have quite the issue and I wanted to see if anyone could help

Long story short, a relative bought trump coins. Regardless of how dumb or smart that was, that was their intention. On January 19th, at 10:40 pm, he initiated the order but noticed the app was acting up. He immediately canceled the order and received a notification the order was canceled. There weren't any pending orders from his account. At 11:34pm, the order went thru anyways. He was not thrilled and contacted support. He provided all of the screenshots and everything about the issue and the chat representative admitted to there being an issue and the app itself said there was a bug. No response since. He decided to email the company today, and after being forwarded twice to two different branches, he receives a reply claiming his case was closed. He tried sending a reply, and the same response after a second. He decides to type another email and another instant response about the case being closed. He also called and after getting thru the initial mumbo jumbo and reached someone, he told them everything... and the line got "disconnected". I guess this wasn't too short, my apologies. Anyways, my question is: is there any legal action that can be taken? He would much rather get it solved and done with, but while we are waiting (he did do another chat, provided all of the proof again, and the chat representative said they will definitely reply by email) we were curious about the legality of it.

My sister's car was stolen 7 years ago.

She had theft insurance and filed a claim, however never followed up on the paperwork (long story, it was a fairly low value car), and so essentially forfeited the payout and the file was closed.

The police found her car last week, it has been trashed/gutted for parts, there is nothing really salvageable about it.

She has received a notice to pay for towing and impounding of her trashed car that was stolen 7 years ago, roughly $1,000 CAD.

Is there any recourse for her and/or a way to avoid paying, since these fees would have been covered under theft insurance, but the file was closed since she did not follow up on it?

Thanks!

The implant was done at a program/school for dentists to learn to place full zirconia implants. The “school” knows something is wrong, they know an abutment is visible but they won’t talk to me. I don’t know what my options are at this point. Is this patient abandonment?

TLDR: there were multiple break-ins and thefts to cars in my buildings “secured” parking garage a couple nights ago. The property management company is aware of recurring property loss and damages (as this is not the first time) and they have not done anything to actually secure the building. Can I/we sue for damages?

Full scope: A couple of nights ago, my car and a few others were broken into inside our building’s “secure” parking garage. We had a break in incident a few months ago and a stolen vehicle prior to that where someone stole a transponder that controlled the gate to the garage. Beyond changing the code on the transponders the property management company did nothing to improve security. We do have cameras, but the onsite manager says the police have to request the footage from the property management company. The police debunked the landlords statements about the camera footage request, we have also requested the footage alongside the other tenants who were impacted. The cost of parking is rolled into our rent so we quite literally pay for the peace of mind of security. When we moved in almost two years ago, the onsite manager told us during the tour that the building was safe and secure and they had never had any problems. After moving in we found out from other tenants that that was not the case.

While the previous incidents didn’t impact me, this one did. The thieves broke a window, rummaged through my very empty car, and the only things they walked away with were my windshield sun visor and my registration card. I’ve already put in a request for a replacement card, filed a police report, and fixed the window. As a result, I had to pay for the window repair out of pocket, the break in caused damage to the body of my car, and it scratched the wrap and the paint. These are all damages I have to pay for out of pocket. Aside from damages, I now have perpetual anxiety about leaving my car in the “locked and secured” garage given that it was so easy for someone to breach it. Additionally, since they stole my registration card, they have my home address in the building they’ve already breached. I am a woman and my name is clearly female so this alone gives me anxiety about the potential for someone breaking into my apartment at any moment. The PM company hasn’t offered any solutions or made any effort to improve security.

We have a tenant in the building who works as a security guard somewhere else – he has offered to work for our building multiple times and the PM company has declined despite multiple incidents. They have not improved security at all. There are faulty gates on the ground level. They have refused to crack down on people sharing the building codes with food delivery drivers despite proof that at least one delivery driver has come back hours after a delivery and stolen packages from our mailroom.

The bottom line is that the PM company doesn’t care about the safety of its tenants or our property. We are moving out at the end of the month, but would definitely sue for damages, or at the very least, reimbursement for the physical property damage I had to repair.

Thank you in advance for any advice/reassurance!

Might be a little complicated from my optic. So my friends parents were divorced and father stayed in the house paid all the bills on the house for over 37 years and eventually remarried in between that 37 years with the step mom now contributing to the finances. The father passed away during COVID and she passed away yesterday now friend and his brother are survivors plus their mother (ex-wife) is still alive. He confirmed their was no decree when his parents divorced. He has access to his step-moms emails showing all the payments made over the years. What rights does his mom have since she is on the deed still? Does she just get the house now or make a claim as to being the owner after 30+ years?

I have taken him to court and gotten a protection order against him. I have been trying to modify the parenting plan for the last few months, having a TPO to restrict his visitation in the meantime, but the latest commissioner threw the TPO out because of a scheduling issue with the adequate cause hearing. We've reverted back to the original parenting plan, which hasn't been followed in three years.

Anyway. We have to follow the parenting plan as ordered until I can get a lawyer on board and file other motions and get a calendar date for the adequate cause, etc. This case has been a mess mostly of paperwork and procedural crap.

The schedule we have to follow means that he would need to take time off of work during the week during his visitations. It also means he would have to drop off and pick up our child from school.

He has been given all of this information. He has never been excluded from any of this information.

I guarantee you, he is going to ask me where he needs to go, who the teacher is, what time, etc.

There's no specific language in the original parenting plan about this because he's supposed to have equal rights in the original parenting plan, so he's been privy to this information since the separation. One of my points in my modification request is that he is not involved in anything substantial having to do with our child. He doesn't know his teachers, his doctors, etc.

I am inclined to tell him to figure it out himself.

I have a DVPO against him. His lawyer lied in court on Friday, which I have proof of and will be filing on in my next steps (There are so many pieces to this). His lawyer has been fighting to throw out the modification case, because BY LAW restrictions have to be placed now that there's a DVPO against him. However, the paperwork for this modification hasn't even made it to the adequate hearing because there have been multiple hiccups along the road. And his lawyer is shady. By having it reverted to the original parenting plan and causing issues with getting to the adequate cause hearing, he gets unsupervised visitation in the meantime.

The last order stipulates that we follow the original parenting plan exactly. So that's what I'm going to allow him to do. I feel like I'm under no obligation to give him the information he should already have access to and hasn't retained because he's relied on me to do EVERYTHING.

I feel like it's totally fair to have him help prove my point, basically. His lawyer fought to have the supervised visitation thrown out and to mandate we adhere to the original, so I'm going to be in compliance with everything it says, but I can tell him that he should already know it when asked and leave it at that, can't I?

By the way, our only allowed communication is through a co-parenting app that the courts can access.

TLDR; Ex's lawyer got supervised visitation thrown out, ordered to revert to original parenting plan. I plan to comply with this order, to the letter, until another a hearing is set that may change it. Under this schedule, Ex will have to take time off of work and take child to and from school. He should know everything, has had equal parenting rights and access, and I have talked to him about everything going on at all times in detail, but he will not know what he needs to do and I guarantee he will ask me for the details. Can I exercise my right to some non-compliance here when he asks and let him flounder?

So in the last three months I decided to attempt to open my own business in the beauty industry. As I was getting my feet wet I got the opportunity to join a salon in a commission based business but using ‘ my business name ‘ and using my IG to post content.

The owner said we would work together to help build my clientele. It’s going slow but I know it will get busier overtime.

She asked for proof of insurance and I signed a contract as an ‘ independent contractor ‘ even though said I would be a sub contractor as I’m commission.

I am only now going through legal zoom for my LLC but she asked me to fill out a W9 form but wouldn’t be it W2 as I’m technically an employee?

I just got my first check and it was $102…… and thats all I’ve gotten since starting out 2 months ago.

I guess I don’t know how to proceed with her as I want to ensure I’m doing all the correct paperwork.

This took place in Missouri. Was pulled over for a expired tag pulled over gave tge officer no problems. Gave him license showed him insurance and explained and showed him emails explaining my tax situation which is why truck not registered. He was just about ready to go and he said they found a warrent for a failure to appear on a traffic ticket from 2019,more than 5 years old.. I was like B/S I remembered the ticket and knew it was resolved . I tried to pull it up on casenet mo. But before I could he put me in cuffs explaining to me I needed to tell the jail not him. I get to jail and ask them what exactly it was for and told them I was by it was taken care of abd that it shows up on missouri casenet as being disposed of and warrebt recalled. They didn't want to hear anything I had to say and wouldn't allow me to show them the proff regardless if my girlfriend bought it the papers or them looking into it. All they had was a warrebt and nothing on the case or any court records. Spent all day in there until I had to post bond on it boss told me I'm fired get to NY truck in the side of the road abd someone broke into it abd took all my tools and supplies.
All this because someone forgot to hit a key to take warrebt out of them and tge sheriff's department refused to look into it even the slightest bit even if I showed them proof they didn't care. Is this how are legal system works ? They don't have to show or hace any kind of proof the warebt is valid if you can show its not? And they don't have too even look into it ? There mistake is my freedom weatger a minute a hour ,day ,week or years ? We're the law so sorry we costcyou your job by detaining you and refusing to spend 5 minutes to look into things?
Severky pissed off .what can I do?

11 years ago we started renting from father in law. 3 months down on rent plus $3000 cash security Deposit. (Obviously all of this agreement was handshake, verbal agreement.) the main stipulation with the renting was we fix anything that breaks and we’re eventually going to be outright given the house or at the very least purchase it for extremely cheap once I got to that point….

Over the last year and a half two years, we have replaced the floors replaced all of the fans on the ceilings the ceiling lights, fixtures around the house, countertops, island, and more… now with less than two weeks notice he sold the house from under us after an argument

What kind of case could I have in small claims along with Michigan says I think the statue is 3 to 4 years is there anyway of asking for that initial security deposit back also since there’s no reason that we shouldn’t get it besides him saying that he doesn’t want to give it to us..

We have the receipts for purchasing things like the flooring and the countertops and all that we never got a receipt for install unfortunately so again that’s on me but for the material itself is there any chance of winning this? He doesn’t have any sort of argument besides, he sold the house under us because there was an argument. We have always kept up on the house. We’ve always treated the house. Well, we were putting money into the house because we were under the assumption, especially 2 to 3 years ago that we were going to be buying it for a very cheap price so we wanted to get ahead of doing repairs and finishing it up..

My coworkers and I have been discussing our newest check procedures and we're a bit unsure about the legality of it all, I guess? Just if they're allowed to do this;

The job does not offer direct deposit, only paper checks. They come in on Fridays, and lately the managers have made a 'rule' that the only period of time we have to collect them is from noon to 1:30pm (ealier if the shift lead leaves). After that, they put the checks away in a safe. Sometimes the shift lead takes pity and will leave your check out/open the safe if it's outside that period, but it's kinda rare. The general attitude is if you can't make it then you're kinda out of luck

Last year for my birthday my ex gifted me an iPad for work and art reasons, this was after we had broken up, claimed he wanted to do “one last thing for me” and we went no contact not long after. Now almost a year later, I am living with my current boyfriend and my ex has now discovered I’m with someone new. I have now just discovered he did not purchase it in full as he originally stated and is still making payments on it. He is now claiming to AT&T and to the police that the iPad was stolen. I don’t have the funds for an attorney right now to fight this. What are my best options here? Do I just say screw it to my iPad? Or fight it? All of my work is on there and I don’t have funds for another.

I (25F) left my fiancé (29M) a few months ago after being together for six years. We bought a house when I was 23, with the down payment coming from my father, and split the mortgage 50/50. When I left, my father drafted documents for my ex to sign, including a quit-claim deed and an agreement that he could keep the house if he refinanced within five years. If he defaulted, I would have three months to refinance and take ownership. The documents favored him since he has a good credit history, but after showing them to a lawyer, he refused to sign.

Since he can't refinance or buy me out, our only option is to sell the house. I moved a few states away and have been asking for updates on the sale process, but communication with my ex has been frustratingly slow and unclear. He frequently avoids timelines or delays responses. Below is a brief timeline of events:

• Mid-November: I requested a project update and suggested a deadline of Dec 15. No response for days.
• December–January: I followed up several times, asking for realtor info and progress updates. He would vaguely mention renovations and being "in contact with realtors" but wouldn’t provide names.
• Jan 23: I finally got realtor names after pressing him and reached out to them myself.
• Feb 1: He sent an email stating, "All communication between us should be done through email from now on."

I’m in a difficult financial situation because of this. My name is still on the mortgage, and I have no clear control over the sale process. I’ve been patient since I was the one who left, but his lack of transparency and cooperation is taking a toll.

My questions:

1. Legally, how can I push for quicker progress on selling the house?
2. Is there a way to force the sale without his cooperation?
3. Are there any legal risks with him handling renovations and realtor communications without consulting me?
4. What steps can I take to protect my financial interests and remove myself from the mortgage as soon as possible?

Thank you in advance for any advice or guidance.

Hello, so my wife and I are looking to move and are bringing our ESA registered dogs with us. The place we are looking to move to is aware of our esa letters and has not included a specific pet deposit but has increased the amount they're asking for in the normal because of them. So my question is have they found a loophole? When i look up the fair housing act and ESA information I see descriptions that say they can't put a pet deposit but when i try to just find where it says that in the FHA i just see "cannot deny accommodation" stuff. I have text evidence the increase is due to the pets. And we are in Oklahoma.

(Technically my wife is still in the renewal process for her esa letter, but I have mine and we have her previous one as well as confirmation about her renewal appointment)

Hello everyone, first time poster here so please let me know if I'm in the right Sub for this.

Title kind of says it all. I work at a grocery store as a cashier, in CA if that helps at all. Currently, corporate is trying to get everyone to sign an agreement that we cannot make a class action lawsuit against them. Now they're cracking down on those of us who haven't signed and are threatening our jobs over this. Some light searching tells me that if I do get fired it could be considered retaliation on my employers end.

Is this true? What can I do/say to make it clear I won't sign the agreement without losing my job?

I plan to read over it again and see if I can understand it better since it's been a while since I first laid eyes on it. But I'm in the middle of a shift so please be patient. Thank you all.

Hello! I’m currently in a pickle with my family over my late grandma’s will. I have a copy of the original will in my possession. The original will lists siblings A, B, C, D, E, and me (F). A, B, and C are my grandmas biological children. D and E are my grandfather’s children, grandma’s stepkids. I am the daughter of C and the only grandchild in the original will. The will divides the money from the sale of the family home between family members.

The will itself states that if anybody tries to change it, they will be cut out. However, changes have been made and that’s where I am getting nervous. D got a copy of the will from public records shortly after grandmas passing. Sibling E told sibling D that he doesn’t want the money and that E could have it. D called my mom (sibling C) and informed her of E’s decision. E passed away shortly after. Because that counted as a change, D and E were written out. The last time I peeked at a copy of the will, all of my grandmothers grandchildren are listed, not just me.

It has been five years since the passing of my grandma and the house is still not sold. My mom has been living there rent free, paying the property taxes and keeping the lights on. Recently my mother and I have had a falling out and haven’t spoken with her in almost five months. She is now the executor of the will. I am worried that I will be cut out of the will out of spite. She kicked me out with a six day old infant and gave all my newborns things away before I could collect our possessions, so I do not put it past her. How do I protect myself in this situation? I will be moving out of state in a month because I am a single mom with no support from baby daddy, my mom, and my mom’s side of the family. Would a contingency lawyer represent me in this case? This money would buy my daughter and I a house to live in where I’m going, so I can’t just let it slide.

Background

I signed an agreement with Sunrun under the impression that switching to their solar subscription service would replace my local electric company and result in cost savings with a fixed monthly rate. Sunrun installed solar panels on my home, but the system was under-designed—meaning it does not generate enough electricity to meet my actual usage.

As a result, I am forced to purchase additional electricity from my local utility, which has increased my total electricity costs by approximately 40% compared to before activating solar. This completely contradicts Sunrun’s promise of saving me money.

Steps I’ve Taken So Far:

1. Contacted Sunrun multiple times, asking them to increase panel capacity to match my energy needs. They refuse unless I agree to a higher monthly rate.
2. Submitted documented proof comparing my electricity costs before and after switching to Sunrun, showing a significant overall increase.
3. Withheld payments for the last few months in protest, demanding they honor their commitment to savings.

Current Situation:

Sunrun has now sent me a letter threatening to refer my account to collections and report me to credit bureaus. I feel I was misled into this contract, and I am prepared to fight this legally if necessary.

Questions:

• Do I have legal grounds to challenge Sunrun for misrepresentation or breach of contract?
• Should I continue withholding payments, or will this severely damage my credit and weaken my position?
• Is there a legal or regulatory body (such as consumer protection agencies) that I can escalate this to for resolution?

I would appreciate any legal guidance or relevant experiences. Thank you in advance!
