I'm a US citizen living and stuck in Iran. I want to come to the US. I'm 18 and female. I was born in the US in the state of Oregon and lived there until 11 years old. My parents are Iranian and went back to Iran when I was 11. I'm a dual Iranian-American citizen. I don't have an American or Iranian passport but I have my birth certificate and social security number and school records from when I was in the US. There is no US embassy in Iran and I need my father's permission to get an Iranian passport or leave the country so that I can go to another country to visit a US embassy. My father will not give me the permission. My brother lives in Seattle this is where I will go once I go to the US. What can I do? How do I come back to the US?

Are you sure you need your father's permission? Everything I've looked up says that women over 18 and unmarried do not need their father's permission to travel. There was consideration of such a law in 2013/14 but I don't see it ever passed. If you were married, you would need your husband's permission. Who told you that you need your dad's permission to get the Iranian passport? If it's him, don't listen to him. Go see about getting it. Back up plan. Do you have a male friend you trust who you can get a sham marriage to, get his permission to leave, leave, and then divorce? That's a complicated plan but hey, whatever.

Silly question, but does Iran have any land border crossings where the usual exit formalities are not enforced (whether deliberately or de facto)? I couldn't find mention of any in a quick google search (of English web pages), but may be worth of looking into a bit.

My friend wants me to get her pregnant. She's Mexican, I'm a US citizen living in Mexico. I want zero responsibility to this child but am willing to donate. How do I protect myself from the possible legal and financial repercussions of 'informally donating'? My friend wants to have a child from me and I've agreed under the condition that I will take no responsibility for it and am nothing more than a donor. I'm a US citizen currently living in Mexico and she is Mexican. She has a good job and a strong support network from her family and friends, many of whom I've met and get along great with. Her mother is quite happy at the prospect of a grandchild. We're both in our thirties and she's several years older than me so I don't feel like this is wasting her youth on single motherhood after some fling. My main concern is child support. I do know there is a similar system in place here in Mexico and it can cross borders. She assures me that she will never come after me for money and doesn't need to, but 18 years is a long time to change her mind. To clear any doubts on my part in this, she wants to put my name on the birth certificate, as she says children in Mexico without a father's surname are often picked on. And also it would grant US citizenship to the child which would open many opportunities to him/her when they're older. I do want to give the child the best start on life I can, but as they say, "no good deed goes unpunished." She's a good friend and I trust her and her intentions, but how should I go about protecting myself in this situation?

The only way to consider this is through a sperm bank.

> She assures me that she will never come after me for money and doesn't need to She may not have plans to, but if she ever applies for US government support (WIC, etc.) when the child is a minor, the state involved will come after you. There is no way for you to abdicate your responsibility for this child unless someone else adopts it after birth.

I'm a gay US citizen living in Korea. I want to go back to the US and bring my Korean SO, but we arent married because gay marriage isnt legal here. What options do we have? I've been living in Korea for roughly 5 years, and have been dating my same-sex partner for nearly that entire time. We've talked more and more frequently about getting married and going to the US (and my SO finding a job in his field-he's well educated and speaks English fluently), but when I started to look into how to do this, I quickly realized how much of a nightmare this is going to be. We would get married here, if we could, it's just not legal. I was naive and under the impression that we could just go to the US, get married, and then he could stay. However I started reading that immigration isn't that simple and then things really started to get complicated when I read that it could take years. My SO and I don't want to be separated that long, and it's hard to find people that have had similar experience I can learn from (some people with immigration and gay marriage, some people with immigrating with an SO from abroad; much more difficult to find anyone trying to figure out immigration from abroad when they can't get married abroad because gay marriage isn't legal). I've also read that immigration will also check for proof of a legitimate relationship. I was wondering what that typically entails, because things like joint bank accounts don't exist here. We have tons of pics together (after nearly 5 years, trips, dates, etc), but we are both closeted at work, and he's still closeted to his family, so even our Facebook status isn't public. Any advise or suggestions as to what to do or kind of immigration lawyer to try to find for cheap would be absolutely amazing (find one local to the state I would move to, one that is near a big international airport in case the immigration officer pulls something over on us for being gay, etc?). My friends suggest things like getting married at the US embassy or a military base, but I don't think it works like that. Again, any help or joint pointers in the right direction would be great. Thanks.

Lots of others are recommending getting a lawyer. I think you should do lots of initial research on your own and then decide if you need one. Take a look around www.visajourney.com. The common consensus there is that lawyers often complicate the process and often make mistakes which results in longer than usual processing times. You are still responsible for gathering all the data. It all can seem overwhelming in the beginning but it's really not that complicated. Just lots of paperwork. Visajourney East Asian forum: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/90-asia-east-and-pacific/ My wife filed for a K1 visa last year and is currently in middle of doing AOS (Adjustment of Status) to get her green card.

Not a lawyer, but wonders if marriage in a third country is an option?

Neighbors wont stop building on my property mowing my property and just being invasive shitty paint included Michigan https://imgur.com/u04Hp8Z In 2015 I bought a house and in 2016 I bought the property in front of the house. in 2017 my west side Neighbors built privacy fencing and landscaping on my property nearly 2 feet over on the deepest part. I addressed it to them as soon as they put it in and he said I will move it. That was a year ago last summer. Then another neighbor is mowing a huge patch of my land. I asked him repeatedly not to mow my property and he does it every week. I would not worry about it if it was not for property is priceless in my area and we are sitting on nearly 2 acres where both the other neighbors are .25 as is the entire area. I know it seems petty but, I really want them to stop.

For the neighbor with the fencing and landscaping: Send letter demanding removal per their previous statement that they would do so. It would be best if you could get a lawyer to draft that, but at the very least, you can write and send one via certified mail. If you are positive the fence and all is on your property (and it would be smart to consult a surveyor to confirm that), you would be within your rights to remove those things yourself. For the neighbor who's all mow-happy on your land, a cease and desist letter from a lawyer would be best. Certified letter from you would be okay if you have zero means to go the lawyer route. Set up trail cams, and if they step onto your land again, contact the police. They will likely get a trespass warning the first time, and then can be charged with trespassing if they do it again. None of this will earn you any brownie points with the neighbors, but it will certainly go a long way to protect your property from any adverse possession claims.

Make sure that the mowing party is not trying to adversely possess your land.

Found cash in my walls. It's mine right? Can I deposit them in the bank & pay back my student loans? (Washington) Washington state. I inherited a house from my uncle 3 years ago and by accident (trying to pass a cable there) I found a stack of cash hidden in the wall. I bought a stud finder and looked through all walls today and found about $100,000 cash, and a VHS cassette. They were all packaged in sealed very strong and thick plastic bags. I ordered a VHS player for my computer already to see what's on the tape. But my question is whether I can take this cash to my bank and deposit them without raising suspicions? Do I need to do that $10,000 at a time, or all in one go? I want to use this to pay back my student loans which are now about $65,000. I'll use the rest to pay off my car and the rest for building an emergency fund.

There's always money in the banana stand. *wink* *click* The presence of the money might've led the executor of his estate to misstate its value, which means you might not've paid the right amount of tax. If he'd willed "all of his money" to someone and that someone isn't you, you're about to have a very sad day. You're definitely going to want to run this one past a lawyer.

You might think about why the money was there. Look at it to see how old it is. If there's a VHS, then it's probably between 15 and 35 years old. Who was living in the house during that time? Was it your uncle? If so, what type of business did he do? Was it something that had a large cash business? Or, was your uncle just suspicious of banks? The big question here is going to be whether this money was ever income to him and, if so, whether he ever paid taxes on it. If he did pay taxes on it and you were his only heir, then it's yours, free and clear. If he didn't, then the IRS is going to come after the money. But, in either case, the government is VERY suspicious about large amounts of cash -- LEOs generally believe that cash means criminal activity. So, get a lawyer.

I found this on a google search: The Basic Rule: Inheritances Aren't Taxed as Income. An inheritance can be a windfall in many ways—the inheritor not only gets cash or a piece of property, but doesn't have to pay income tax on it. Someone who inherits a $500,000 bank account doesn't have to pay any tax on that amount. Find a lawyer/tax specialist to advise you. Good luck and promise to tell us what us in video tape

If he'd willed "all of his money" to someone and that someone isn't you, you're about to have a very sad day. You're definitely going to want to run this one past a lawyer.

Found cash in my walls. It's mine right? Can I deposit them in the bank & pay back my student loans? (Washington) Washington state. I inherited a house from my uncle 3 years ago and by accident (trying to pass a cable there) I found a stack of cash hidden in the wall. I bought a stud finder and looked through all walls today and found about $100,000 cash, and a VHS cassette. They were all packaged in sealed very strong and thick plastic bags. I ordered a VHS player for my computer already to see what's on the tape. But my question is whether I can take this cash to my bank and deposit them without raising suspicions? Do I need to do that $10,000 at a time, or all in one go? I want to use this to pay back my student loans which are now about $65,000. I'll use the rest to pay off my car and the rest for building an emergency fund.

Lol. Do NOT deposit the money in several smaller amounts to "avoid suspicion." That's called structuring. It's a federal crime.

Just a quick reminder, be careful who you tell about this. Having 100k in cash in your house can bring some unwanted attention. I hope you never used this throwaway account name on anything else, ever.

Deliberately breaking up a large deposit to not get attention from the government is a federal felony. Don't do that. Talk to a lawyer. It's possibly yours, but maybe not. There are some interesting laws about inheritance and found assets.

If you end up driving the money somewhere (like a bank) and get pulled over... do not admit to having bunch of cash in the car. The police will take and and make you prove it's not from illegal gains.

You might think about why the money was there. Look at it to see how old it is. If there's a VHS, then it's probably between 15 and 35 years old. Who was living in the house during that time? Was it your uncle? If so, what type of business did he do? Was it something that had a large cash business? Or, was your uncle just suspicious of banks? The big question here is going to be whether this money was ever income to him and, if so, whether he ever paid taxes on it. If he did pay taxes on it and you were his only heir, then it's yours, free and clear. If he didn't, then the IRS is going to come after the money. But, in either case, the government is VERY suspicious about large amounts of cash -- LEOs generally believe that cash means criminal activity. So, get a lawyer.

I found this on a google search: The Basic Rule: Inheritances Aren't Taxed as Income. An inheritance can be a windfall in many ways—the inheritor not only gets cash or a piece of property, but doesn't have to pay income tax on it. Someone who inherits a $500,000 bank account doesn't have to pay any tax on that amount. Find a lawyer/tax specialist to advise you. Good luck and promise to tell us what us in video tape

Do I need to do that $10,000 at a time, or all in one go? I want to use this to pay back my student loans which are now about $65,000. I'll use the rest to pay off my car and the rest for building an emergency fund.

If you end up driving the money somewhere (like a bank) and get pulled over... do not admit to having bunch of cash in the car. The police will take and and make you prove it's not from illegal gains.

You might think about why the money was there. Look at it to see how old it is. If there's a VHS, then it's probably between 15 and 35 years old. Who was living in the house during that time? Was it your uncle? If so, what type of business did he do? Was it something that had a large cash business? Or, was your uncle just suspicious of banks? The big question here is going to be whether this money was ever income to him and, if so, whether he ever paid taxes on it. If he did pay taxes on it and you were his only heir, then it's yours, free and clear. If he didn't, then the IRS is going to come after the money. But, in either case, the government is VERY suspicious about large amounts of cash -- LEOs generally believe that cash means criminal activity. So, get a lawyer.

Found cash in my walls. It's mine right? Can I deposit them in the bank & pay back my student loans? (Washington) Washington state. I inherited a house from my uncle 3 years ago and by accident (trying to pass a cable there) I found a stack of cash hidden in the wall. I bought a stud finder and looked through all walls today and found about $100,000 cash, and a VHS cassette. They were all packaged in sealed very strong and thick plastic bags. I ordered a VHS player for my computer already to see what's on the tape. But my question is whether I can take this cash to my bank and deposit them without raising suspicions?

I found this on a google search: The Basic Rule: Inheritances Aren't Taxed as Income. An inheritance can be a windfall in many ways—the inheritor not only gets cash or a piece of property, but doesn't have to pay income tax on it. Someone who inherits a $500,000 bank account doesn't have to pay any tax on that amount. Find a lawyer/tax specialist to advise you. Good luck and promise to tell us what us in video tape

Found a hard drive hidden in my wall. Can I give it to authorities with a clause to only prosecute for certain things found on it? Ok the headline isn’t very clear but let me broad stroke this real quick. I’m living in my mothers old house. She still owns it, I just rent it from her. I was having problems with my upstairs vents not working and it’s hot so I started to troubleshoot. In the bathroom under the sink was a terrible patch job with cold air coming out. I decided to rip it out and see if there was a vent or something behind there. Well there was a vent that was capped crudely and an old 200gb hard drive back there covered in dust. So I know it’s my step fathers because I’ve seen these when they lived here in his home office. Also my mom has owned the home since 1989, before these were invented. There hasn’t been any other renters and I’ve lived alone there since they moved out. Basically it’s his for sure. Now I haven’t looked on it yet cause the cable is weird and I need my tech savvy friend to do so. I’m going to assume there’s not good shit on this thing, because who hides hard drives in walls? I’ll also assume my friend can’t actually access it also because my step dad has been working on computers and doing coding and makes his living doing stuff I know nothing about. Here is my question. If my friend can’t open it I’m thinking I’ll be taking it to the police because I have a weird fear it’s something that needs to be looked into. If you catch what I’m saying. Is there a way I could turn it over to police with the condition of only getting him in trouble if it’s certain illegal things on there? Like what if it’s just some sketchy tax stuff or blue collar crime and I mess up my moms life cause I get my step dad thrown in jail? Am I making up a law here? Did I see this on tv and my brain thinks it’s real? Haha Seriously hoping it’s nothing but I have that little weird feeling still. Thanks for any help or courses of action!

No you don't get to pick and choose what the police do with something of this nature. You saw that in a movie. I would turn it over to the police or throw it away. Normal people do not hide shit like this.

If it makes you feel better, local cops likely won't give a shit to investigate old tax fraud. They will old child porn.

I hate to say it but there is a chance its a mature porn staring mom and stepdad. Be prepared for that possibility

Found a hard drive hidden in my wall. Can I give it to authorities with a clause to only prosecute for certain things found on it? Ok the headline isn’t very clear but let me broad stroke this real quick. I’m living in my mothers old house. She still owns it, I just rent it from her. I was having problems with my upstairs vents not working and it’s hot so I started to troubleshoot. In the bathroom under the sink was a terrible patch job with cold air coming out. I decided to rip it out and see if there was a vent or something behind there. Well there was a vent that was capped crudely and an old 200gb hard drive back there covered in dust. So I know it’s my step fathers because I’ve seen these when they lived here in his home office. Also my mom has owned the home since 1989, before these were invented. There hasn’t been any other renters and I’ve lived alone there since they moved out. Basically it’s his for sure. Now I haven’t looked on it yet cause the cable is weird and I need my tech savvy friend to do so. I’m going to assume there’s not good shit on this thing, because who hides hard drives in walls? I’ll also assume my friend can’t actually access it also because my step dad has been working on computers and doing coding and makes his living doing stuff I know nothing about. Here is my question. If my friend can’t open it I’m thinking I’ll be taking it to the police because I have a weird fear it’s something that needs to be looked into. If you catch what I’m saying. Is there a way I could turn it over to police with the condition of only getting him in trouble if it’s certain illegal things on there? Like what if it’s just some sketchy tax stuff or blue collar crime and I mess up my moms life cause I get my step dad thrown in jail? Am I making up a law here? Did I see this on tv and my brain thinks it’s real? Haha Seriously hoping it’s nothing but I have that little weird feeling still. Thanks for any help or courses of action!

This is a Schrodinger's cat situation. Before you get all jumpy into turning that over to the police you need to think about one thing, your mom is intimate with your step dad. That means they share secrets. Even ones of an illegal nature. If she knows about whatever is on that drive, she may have accomplice liability to whatever crimes your step dad may have committed. Hell, for all you know, it may be evidence of crimes your mom committed. It could just be all of their sex tapes you just found. Again, Schrodinger's cat. Once you give it to the police, your ability to control the situation is over.

No you don't get to pick and choose what the police do with something of this nature. You saw that in a movie. I would turn it over to the police or throw it away. Normal people do not hide shit like this.

This might not be legal advice but more along the lines of life advice. You found a hard-drive your stepfather hid in the wall, why is your first thought to turn it into the police? If you suspect that this is related to CP I would strongly suggest you turn it into the police immediately, not open it and not try to "see what's on it" and not handle it with bare hands. Let's say your friend discovers CP on it when you bring it to his house and turns YOU into the cops..... good luck explaining how your prints are all over a hard drive you brought to your buddies that is admittedly from your house.

I’m guessing 95% chance child porn.

If my friend can’t open it I’m thinking I’ll be taking it to the police because I have a weird fear it’s something that needs to be looked into. If you catch what I’m saying. Is there a way I could turn it over to police with the condition of only getting him in trouble if it’s certain illegal things on there? Like what if it’s just some sketchy tax stuff or blue collar crime and I mess up my moms life cause I get my step dad thrown in jail? Am I making up a law here? Did I see this on tv and my brain thinks it’s real? Haha Seriously hoping it’s nothing but I have that little weird feeling still. Thanks for any help or courses of action!

This might not be legal advice but more along the lines of life advice. You found a hard-drive your stepfather hid in the wall, why is your first thought to turn it into the police? If you suspect that this is related to CP I would strongly suggest you turn it into the police immediately, not open it and not try to "see what's on it" and not handle it with bare hands. Let's say your friend discovers CP on it when you bring it to his house and turns YOU into the cops..... good luck explaining how your prints are all over a hard drive you brought to your buddies that is admittedly from your house.

Found a hard drive hidden in my wall. Can I give it to authorities with a clause to only prosecute for certain things found on it? Ok the headline isn’t very clear but let me broad stroke this real quick. I’m living in my mothers old house. She still owns it, I just rent it from her. I was having problems with my upstairs vents not working and it’s hot so I started to troubleshoot. In the bathroom under the sink was a terrible patch job with cold air coming out. I decided to rip it out and see if there was a vent or something behind there. Well there was a vent that was capped crudely and an old 200gb hard drive back there covered in dust. So I know it’s my step fathers because I’ve seen these when they lived here in his home office. Also my mom has owned the home since 1989, before these were invented. There hasn’t been any other renters and I’ve lived alone there since they moved out. Basically it’s his for sure. Now I haven’t looked on it yet cause the cable is weird and I need my tech savvy friend to do so. I’m going to assume there’s not good shit on this thing, because who hides hard drives in walls?

Tell him you found a hard drive in the wall and ask him if he has anything to tell you. Judge his reaction to see what might be on it.

This is a Schrodinger's cat situation. Before you get all jumpy into turning that over to the police you need to think about one thing, your mom is intimate with your step dad. That means they share secrets. Even ones of an illegal nature. If she knows about whatever is on that drive, she may have accomplice liability to whatever crimes your step dad may have committed. Hell, for all you know, it may be evidence of crimes your mom committed. It could just be all of their sex tapes you just found. Again, Schrodinger's cat. Once you give it to the police, your ability to control the situation is over.

Title: **Found a hard drive hidden in my wall. Can I give it to authorities with a clause to only prosecute for certain things found on it?**
Original Post:
> Ok the headline isn’t very clear but let me broad stroke this real quick. I’m living in my mothers old house. She still owns it, I just rent it from her. I was having problems with my upstairs vents not working and it’s hot so I started to troubleshoot. In the bathroom under the sink was a terrible patch job with cold air coming out. I decided to rip it out and see if there was a vent or something behind there. Well there was a vent that was capped crudely and an old 200gb hard drive back there covered in dust. > > So I know it’s my step fathers because I’ve seen these when they lived here in his home office. Also my mom has owned the home since 1989, before these were invented. There hasn’t been any other renters and I’ve lived alone there since they moved out. Basically it’s his for sure. > > Now I haven’t looked on it yet cause the cable is weird and I need my tech savvy friend to do so. I’m going to assume there’s not good shit on this thing, because who hides hard drives in walls? I’ll also assume my friend can’t actually access it also because my step dad has been working on computers and doing coding and makes his living doing stuff I know nothing about. > > Here is my question. If my friend can’t open it I’m thinking I’ll be taking it to the police because I have a weird fear it’s something that needs to be looked into. If you catch what I’m saying. Is there a way I could turn it over to police with the condition of only getting him in trouble if it’s certain illegal things on there? Like what if it’s just some sketchy tax stuff or blue collar crime and I mess up my moms life cause I get my step dad thrown in jail? Am I making up a law here? Did I see this on tv and my brain thinks it’s real? Haha > > Seriously hoping it’s nothing but I have that little weird feeling still. > > Thanks for any help or courses of action!

Tell him you found a hard drive in the wall and ask him if he has anything to tell you. Judge his reaction to see what might be on it.
|
Is there a way to have a lawyer see what is on it and go from there? (I don't know if this is possible, just asking for my own curiosity)

One of my old students (19F) just informed me she was molested by her cousin 15 years ago when she was 5. Memories were repressed until recently. She lives in Iowa, but this happened in Florida. Her cousin was 18 at the time. He is in prison on unrelated charges in Florida. She is afraid of him getting out and doing it again. He's scheduled to be released in 5 years for an unrelated crime. She opened up to some family members, and it turns out he raped one of her female cousins around the same time. Family didn't press charges because that's the kind of family she's from. No one is on her side. Her memory of the molestation was repressed and she recently had a trigger that brought it back. This girl is no longer my student (she graduated 2 years ago). My instinct was to tell her to go to the police and report it, but I told her I'd check here to see if there was something else she should do. Is justice for her an option this far removed from when it happened? Can she do anything about it from another state? (She's loved in Iowa for many years now and finished school here). Thank you.

The reality is that right now there isn't anything law enforcement is going to be able to do to pursue a criminal action that old in Florida, unless there are some exceptions that I don't think are in place by your description. Ultimately that's not the important part though, it sounds like this woman has a toxic family and isn't safe. Further complicating the situation is that she might think there are years until his release, but early parole may be a possibility even if it wasn't before, as prisons look to reduce their liability/exposure to covid19. She trusts you with some pretty heavy information, that's great, but you aren't really equipped to help her much. That's okay too, people need people they can trust who care about their welfare. You should look at getting in touch with some professionals though - CASA has chapters in Iowa, RAINN is nationwide, NAASCA is another great resource for a phone call. They can look into getting her help, including civil protection orders and therapy. Personally, and this is probably too harsh given the minuscule amount of information I have (but here I go anyway) - she needs to cut that family loose. They have already enabled massive trauma to her and her cousin to be excused - that is not a red flag, that is a screaming inferno of violent dysfunction and as hard as it is to turn her back on the first 19 years of her life, it's the decades in the future she should be focused on. Just my two cents, I have unfortunately seen how long it can take for a victim to delicately extricate themselves from a bad situation, and how much pain it costs them to do it that way.

Since you call her a former student, I assume that means you are an educator of some kind? *You* may be a mandatory reporter. (I think it varies from state to state, but in mine, I think all teachers are? I know I am, anyway, and my student aren't even minors.) That won't necessarily mean you have to report this (see next paragraph), but it might. If so, you might be legally obligated to report what she told you. (If I recall my mandatory reporter training right, the fact that he is now in prison would mean he has no access to children now, and that would mean it is not mandatory to report. But that's just in my state. Yours could differ.)

There are victim support and advocate groups out there built for this. Seek one of them in your area out (with her consent obviously) they will have resources to help her including therapy.
|
Look, this isn't something you'll like to hear but repressed memories have been shown to be about as reliable as dreams. Honestly neither you nor her know whether it really happened. It's highly unlikely that this can be brought to court, there is nowhere near proof beyond a reasonable doubt unless he confesses (again, if he really did it) The best thing you can do is to advise her to seek therapy

She can opt-in to be notified when her abuser is going to be released. She can reach out to a domestic violence or rape crisis center and get free therapy and free legal advice. Florida statues concerning child sexual abuse are very complex, and changing. It may be worth her while to report him in the jurisdiction in which either of them lived or he raped her. Since she already knows of another victim it is likely there are still more victims out there and the statue of limitations may not have run on all of them. The prosecutors who put him in jail may also be interested. She can reach out to the above crisis center or her local law enforcement agency to be put in touch with a Victim Advocate. A VA can, at no cost to her, help her navigate the system.

Family members emptied and tried to sell my moms house. (w.o my permission)that she left to me In her will. I left home to visit my gfs house for about 4-6 months, in that time my beloved passed away. I came back home to changed locks and everything in our 4 story house thrown away. Obviously I have a lawsuit on my hands but I have no clue how to even search for an attorney or how to begin this process.

I’m sorry for you loss. How do you know that your mom left you the house in her will? Are you the only one she left it to? Were you contacted by the executor? Also your location is needed for more accurate info.
|
You need to contact an estate attorney.

Typically the house must pass through probate court to transferred to your name unless it was held in trust. Has probate been settled? Typically this process can take 5 - 9 months. The critical question: Who is the executor of your mom's will? Who manages the estate? Wills are often filed with the county by the attorney who created the document. So you should be able to find a copy with the county of her residence. If not, see if you can contact the lawyer who wrote it up. If no will is located, then she died in intestate and probate court will need to sort it out amongst her children and kin. This will take some time.
|
Contact the police and district attorney, since you have been locked out and your property stolen/destroyed. Contact your local bar association, lawyer referral service, law schools, search engines: Real Estate, Estate Planning, Probate attorneys, personal referrals, etc.

[OR] must I allow my ex wife access to my house whenever she wants? I own home, she is not on title, wants me to be out of house whenever she feels like it.

Two questions: first, why is she trying to enter your home, and second, why does she think she has a right to do so?
|
Not a lawyer. But, you do not have to vacate the home and allow her access. In fact, that’s generally not smart at all. Things that you could, and probably should, do: 1. video the entire encounter. Be upfront. Tell her everything she does will be videoed. Ask her to do the same. 2. Have a friend or family member of yours, who is not otherwise associated with her, to be a silent party to the encounter. Again, ask her to do the same. I would do both of these, and not vacate the house. If you have any recourse for a law enforcement officer to be present, to maintain legal requests, I would do so. Some LEOs will do this, but not all, at the invitation of the owner. Call your local PD or Sheriff, depending on your jurisdiction, and ask if they have someone to spare for a half hour encounter and explain what you need. Worst they can say is that their department doesn’t do this. It is not in your best interest whatsoever to allow her unfettered access to your home without supervision. It does not matter in the slightest how much you trust her. She would have access to plant cameras, drugs, microphones, murder weapons… okay, I doubt she would plant weapons. But, you get the idea. She would have access to do whatever she pleases. Even if it is so much as poking holes in your condoms and putting itching powder in your undies. It’s not always about what she can take, but also what she can leave behind. You are obliged to return her belongings. You are not obliged to give her unfettered and unsupervised access. Should you not want her in your house at all, you can request an itemized list. Then, you can gather the items and put them outside. You stay inside, she picks them up outside. Video the entire encounter again. You could move them to a storage unit, put a lock on it, and mail her the access code and key via certified parcel. (Don’t put keys in envelopes!) You could have a mutual friend who is trusted by both parties retrieve the items under your supervision. Above all, do not allow her unfettered and unsupervised access unless it is ordered to do so by a judge—which is highly unlikely.

Not a lawyer- When did she last reside in the home? When/how long ago did the divorce decree get signed where she stated you were sole owner? If you divorced 1 week ago, she might have a point. If there are large pieces of furniture, it's not unreasonable that she doesn't want you to drive a truckload over to her parents' house and leave it on the lawn. As the owner of the home, I think you vacating whenever she wants to swing by is excessive. If you have no reason to believe she is planning to take things that were not in the agreement, try this: There's no reason why you can't have a representative (eithera friend or a family member) who is willing to be at the house to make sure nothing of yours gets taken/damaged. This protects her as well and prevents you from later claiming something was broken if she did not break it. "I don't think it's unreasonable to expect you to get the belongings agreed to in the divorce paperwork in a timely manner and with little disruption to my life and schedule. Let me know when you and your helpers will be coming by to get your things. Give at least 48 hours notice and let me know the window of when you think you will be there. I'll do my best to make certain that there is nothing that impedes your access to the items we discussed in the agreement. I will leave and return at the agreed time. Your belongings need to be out of the home within x# of days. After that I will box up what remains and drop them off at your parents' house."

INAL Do you have a garage? Can you remove your possessions from the garage, put all of her stuff in the garage, and then deadbolt the door to said garage so that she can't access the rest of the house? Talk to a lawyer, and see if you can then force her to take all of said items with a limited timeframe to ensure all of her possessions are gone before you are gone on holiday.

Information required: is there a background of domestic violence that you’re not disclosing? That may change the rights here. You mention that she ‘left suddenly’ and that ‘her counsellor’ told her she has a right to access - is there potentially something you’re not mentioning here about why she’d want the access to be alone?

My long term girlfriend and I have split up and need to sell our house. She believes she is entitled to a larger cut due to her income. (Missouri, USA) We have lived together for 6 years. Both of our names are on the deed. I put down the down payment of $4K. I had the savings and higher credit score needed, but she had the income. When we purchased the house she made roughly three times what I made, so we agreed that I would pay the utilities and vehicle insurance and she would pay the house payment. Initially this was roughly a 70/30 split. A year later, this went to a 60/40 split and I also got a raise. For the last year it has been nearly 50/50. For almost 4 of the 6 years we had a roommate that typically gave his rent to me and I would use it on whatever was needed. Whether that was bills, groceries, maintenance, putting it in my savings account, or entertainment for the both of us. His total contribution was about $16K. We had initially discussed putting this money into a separate joint account, but never followed through with this. The work done to the house was split pretty close to 50/50, and that we agreed on. We both paid for enhancements and contributed labor to projects. Now that we are selling, she has informed me that she believes I am only entitled to a 30% cut of the profit because that was my financial contribution. We expect to profit approximately $100K on the house. I was under the impression that we were equal partners. I always considered everything as "ours". We never had anything in writing and at no point in the last 6 years did she ever ask me to pay more or ask for financial assistance in any way. We split groceries, we split entertainment, we split everything. When her truck broke down, she drove my truck and I purchased a new vehicle. This allowed her to pay down her student loans quicker and I took on the debt of a car payment. I never asked for reimbursement for the use of the truck. She states that, since our roommate paid me most of the rent money, she never received her "cut" of that money. She did take it from time to time, but the majority of the time it went to me. In my opinion, this was passive income that allowed us to live at the comfort level we did by paying for projects around the house, bills, groceries, etc. I would like to avoid having to hire lawyers, so my offer is as follows: A 55/45 split of the house profit. This will net her approximately $10,000 more than I will receive. Essentially, I'm giving her $5000 of my cut to avoid having to hire lawyers. I am pretty certain she is going to decline this offer. She has previously said she may be willing to entertain a 60/40 split, but I don't feel that this is a fair number. However, I don't want to drag this out and spend more on lawyers than is worth. What are my options?

Because of the (illegal) renter that is a main part of your argument, you really don't want this to go to court. Offer the 45/55 split, and if she doesn't take it then settle for the 40/60 If you're really set on the 45/55, you're gonna need to hire a lawyer.

Get a consult with a real estate attorney to understand what would happen in a partition sale. Paying more of certain costs, how the rental profit is shared can adjust how much one party will receive, but the specifics vary.

This may turn out to be a wash. Who got to write off the interest on the mortgage payment at tax time? If she did, then your acceptance of the rent payment may have evened things out.

I'm getting the feeling there are almost no lawyers that are posting here as no one has asked about how the home was titled. Without knowing how the home was titled, or the laws of your state, it's impossible to tell you what the law is. However, based my limited real estate knowledge of my state, there is a really good chance that the split will be 50/50 regardless of what contributions were made toward the down payment or the mortgage. It's all about the title, any contracts, and whether your state permits equitable arguments. Pay for a consult with someone who has been doing RE law for 5 plus years.

We had initially discussed putting this money into a separate joint account, but never followed through with this. The work done to the house was split pretty close to 50/50, and that we agreed on. We both paid for enhancements and contributed labor to projects. Now that we are selling, she has informed me that she believes I am only entitled to a 30% cut of the profit because that was my financial contribution. We expect to profit approximately $100K on the house. I was under the impression that we were equal partners. I always considered everything as "ours". We never had anything in writing and at no point in the last 6 years did she ever ask me to pay more or ask for financial assistance in any way. We split groceries, we split entertainment, we split everything. When her truck broke down, she drove my truck and I purchased a new vehicle. This allowed her to pay down her student loans quicker and I took on the debt of a car payment. I never asked for reimbursement for the use of the truck. She states that, since our roommate paid me most of the rent money, she never received her "cut" of that money. She did take it from time to time, but the majority of the time it went to me. In my opinion, this was passive income that allowed us to live at the comfort level we did by paying for projects around the house, bills, groceries, etc. I would like to avoid having to hire lawyers, so my offer is as follows: A 55/45 split of the house profit. This will net her approximately $10,000 more than I will receive. Essentially, I'm giving her $5000 of my cut to avoid having to hire lawyers. I am pretty certain she is going to decline this offer. She has previously said she may be willing to entertain a 60/40 split, but I don't feel that this is a fair number. However, I don't want to drag this out and spend more on lawyers than is worth. What are my options?

Your financial contribution was to pay the utilities and you used the illegal renter’s money to do that and then pocketed the rest. Is that correct?

This may turn out to be a wash. Who got to write off the interest on the mortgage payment at tax time? If she did, then your acceptance of the rent payment may have evened things out.

My long term girlfriend and I have split up and need to sell our house. She believes she is entitled to a larger cut due to her income. (Missouri, USA) We have lived together for 6 years. Both of our names are on the deed. I put down the down payment of $4K. I had the savings and higher credit score needed, but she had the income. When we purchased the house she made roughly three times what I made, so we agreed that I would pay the utilities and vehicle insurance and she would pay the house payment. Initially this was roughly a 70/30 split. A year later, this went to a 60/40 split and I also got a raise. For the last year it has been nearly 50/50.

Get a consult with a real estate attorney to understand what would happen in a partition sale. Paying more of certain costs, how the rental profit is shared can adjust how much one party will receive, but the specifics vary.

I work in mortgage title in Missouri. You are each due 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the property as you are both vested in title. Where you are running into trouble is the rental income, did you declare that on your taxes or have any sort of signed agreement from the renter? Your renter also has rights in this situation.

[UT] Wife's parents threatening to bring a lawsuit against me for "underage marriage" I realize this is going to sound like a troll post, but it's not. My wife was adopted from Russia when she was 3 years old. A few years ago, we were looking into finding more information about her biological family. We looked over the documents we do have with a translator, who said that it looked like her birth date was translated incorrectly, and that actual birth date was about a year and a half later than what was told to her parents and ended up on her American paperwork. This meant that she wasn't 3 years old when she was adopted, she was actually about 18 months old. Her parents were surprised but not shocked by this because she was delayed as a child, but they thought that it was just because she was in an orphanage, and that it would even out when she was older, which it did. Here's where it gets dicey. My wife and I started dating when we were 16 and 18, and we got married at 18. If this is true, then we actually started dating at 14 and 18, and she would have been just short of 17 when we got married. This would obviously not be legal. I wouldn't have gotten married that early now or encourage it, but I obviously wouldn't have been dating someone that young in any case if I had known, but what's done is done and we're both in our late 20s now. They've never liked that we left the church and have since moved out of state. They're now threatening to show this "evidence" to the police and get me arrested for statutory and saying that our marriage isn't legal because she was (possibly) underage and didn't have the parental consent that would have been required. How much do we have to worry about here?

Marriages can be one of two things: **voidable** or **void.** A void marriage cannot be salvaged. The state will treat it as if the marriage never occurred. A voidable marriage exists, but one of the parties has the ability to declare the marriage void if they so choose. Utah's age for marriage (without parental consent) is 18, and marriages to a person under 18 who doesn't have parental consent are void. Utah 30-1-2. However, you may notice section (2)(b) creates an exception where the underage person "lawfully marries before May 14, 2019." It looks like you were married before 2019, so you need to (I think) check the historic law. Here's the amending law, so you can see the original text. Basically, the same result - you would have needed parental consent. But maybe the subsequent amendment saved your marriage? Not clear. I think, absolute worst case, your marriage is void and you would need to get remarried. I doubt you would be convicted (or successfully sued) for underage marriage based on a bilateral mistake (everyone thought she was older than she actually was), as there was no intent for you to violate the law. But talk to a lawyer.

The Utah laws on sex crimes are petty complicated, but the best I can sort out is that there is a four year statute of limitations on statutory rape. So if you are in your late 20s there is no way to prosecute this crime now and while there might be some technical issues with the marriage you can likely remedy them if they become an issue in the future. Tell them to piss off and move on with your life. On the off chance cops come to ask questions, don’t talk to them. Politely decline and inform them that you are asserting your 5th amendment right to say silent and that you will not speak to them without an attorney and that you don’t consent to any searches, then hire an attorney.

Utah does have a close in age law regarding statutory rape, which allows minors of ages 16 and 17 to consent to sex with an adult who is less than 7 years older than the minor. So leaving aside the issue of the marriage, you couldn't be charged with statutory rape for having sex with her when she was 17. So the only issue would be the marriage.

I'm an adoptive parent of children with birthdate discrepancies. I believe the legal date of birth, or what is on all of her US documents (US adoption paperwork, license, passport) is what matters here. Wrong birthdates are a common feature of foreign adoptions. Kids are commonly under-aged and occasionally over-aged. For laws with an age restrictions (voting, driving, etc), what matters is what is on her US documents. Usually, the opportunity to correct inaccurate date of birth in a foreign adoption at the state level is upon state re-adoption after arriving home. Since 2014, when the Accuracy for Adoptees act was signed, if a date of birth is changed at the state level it can now be changed at the Federal level too. It sounds like this was not done, so her inaccurate date of birth is her official date of birth. You could consult with an adoption attorney to double check that there's really nothing her parents can do here.

I'm not a lawyer but I'd say this hinges on her actual legal age - now and when you were married. What is her legal age on her birth certificate? Has she had it updated based on that paperwork or does she plan to?
