bq3y5x | legaladvice_train | 0.96 | In slow process of separating with wife and she’s wanting me to sign house over into her name. I’ll still be living in it for next 2 months. Would this make me a renter? What could she do if I go through with signing? We bought house 3 years ago. Never missed payment. We have joint account and make similar income, (she makes a little more). We never got legally married as we were waiting for her student loans to be forgiven (she’s worked for nonprofit for a decade now), otherwise payments would have doubled. Though I went along with the whole refi thing, she took it upon herself to do legwork and did it in her name, (she claimed my credit score was too low to get approved). I just want do what’s best for my 3 year old daughter and me. But if I sign the house over to her, would I become a “tenant” and then have renter’s rights? Would she have to claim my $ each month for mortgage as income? I’m lost and crushed.

If you were childless it might be worth it to walk away from your share of house, but anything you give now may not be considered by the court in any child support agreements. CA requires 60 days notice to vacate if tenancy is over a year. | Not a lawyer, but you need one. Let's parse this out a little bit. CA (I assume California?) does not recognize common-law marriage, so let's dispense with that, you're not married. Right now you have two issues: Separating your finances (including the home), and making accommodations for/regarding the child. As I understand the house issue, you are on the deed but not the mortgage, yes? Have you been paying into the mortgage payment (via the joint account)? Has the property appreciated? This can be something you can leverage in your negotiations- again, work with your own attorney. Also, negotiate the separation of the joint bank account. Don't just sign a quit claim for nothing. You have a child together, and this is really why you need an attorney to help you with your own/the child's interests, i.e. custody, visitation, child support. | 0 | 6,350 | 1.458333 |

I don't understand why you are just letting her have a house for free that you paid for and have equity in, but that aside, as others have addressed it, you need a family law attorney so that you can see your daughter once you stop living there. At this point either you, or she, can take your daughter and not let the other parent see her. You can try to freeball it for a while and see if that works, but ultimately you're going to want to have a court establish exactly who sees the child and when, presuming you won't be living there anymore.

w8sg35 | legaladvice_train | 0.87 | Can I report my car as stolen if my husband has it and won't give it back? My spouse and I have lived separately for over a year. We have not filed any divorce paperwork yet, but are filing soon. We bought two cars while we were still together, a truck and an SUV. The truck was sold specifically to me, outright from my cousin, using funds from a trust I inherited from my grandpa. The SUV was purchased from carmax and costs $400 a month. I can prove with reciepts that the truck was sold to just me, but he registered it to just himself after we separated. We are co-owners of the SUV. When he left, he took the truck and I took the SUV. I can no longer afford my car payment on the SUV, as he promised to help pay for it and has not helped me once. I need the truck back, and he's refusing. I know California is a community property state, but I read that property acquired through inheritance does not count as community property. Does that apply to my situation? Can I report it stolen if he doesn't return it?

bm06ir | legaladvice_train | 0.92 | Parents of pedestrian child are keeping an open medical claim against my husband and insurance company says statute of limitations is until the child turns 18. We are living on eggshells. Can it be closed sooner? A year ago, some kids from an adjacent neighborhood were breezing around our neighborhood up and down the hills on their way to school, not obeying the rules of the road. At the same time my husband backed out of the drive way to take our own kids to school. He saw the kids and noticed one had fallen. He looked and saw the kid was fine and went on his way. He didn't speak to the kid or his friends. Later that day as my husband was working from home, he heard the walkie talkie of a police officer in our yard. He went outside and the officer informed him that his vehicle was allegedly involved in a hit and run of a minor. Needless to say my husband was horrified and confused. He had no knowledge there was ever any impact. There was no evidence of impact on my husband's car. My children who were in the car were confused and said they didn't see anything like that happen. The radio was off at the time of the alleged incident. Apparently the child who fell down, rode his bike to school, and told the school nurse he was hit by a car. The police were called and interviewed the boy and his friends. The way the boy says the impact happened could not have happened. He did not even remember the color of my husband's car. His friends never saw any impact and told the officer that. The officer did not issue a citation to my husband. A few days later, the police officer called my husband to warn him that the mother called him to "request" a citation be issued to my husband. When he informed her that was not how it worked, she apparently got belligerent and said she has a family member in the insurance industry and knows how to work the system. The family immediately opened a claim against our insurance. The family reported a head injury. They have not provided the insurance company with any medical bills or records of the injury. However, we do know the kid was held out of school for a substantial amount of time for a "concussion". Our insurance company says the statute of limitations for them to come after us is until the child turns 18. They said even though there is no evidence to show my husband's car impacted the child, cases where it is a car vs a child pedestrian never turn out well for the car. It is best for insurance just to pay and stay out of court. It has been a year with minimal contact between the family and our insurance company regarding the claim. My husband is terrified this will come back to haunt us down the road. He is worried they are positioning themselves for a massive payout that will ruin us financially. He wants to hire a lawyer separate from our insurance company. Is there any course of action we can take to get them to close the claim? Are we best just to ride it out as our insurance company says? | emsrzdm | emsqxs5 | 1,557,285,786 | 1,557,284,979 | 57 | 2 | There isn’t much you can do. If there truly was no damage to the car, and no witnesses that saw the impact, then it becomes a he said/she said situation. You’ll also have the police who can testify that he examined your vehicle and found no evidence of a hit and run. I’m not a doctor, but my understanding is concussions are a little more difficult to diagnose than a broken bone (for example) in that there may not be any obvious physical trauma, which makes a simple diagnosis of a “concussion” may be slightly more difficult to prove in court. | ---

There’s already a lot of good advice here. As others have mentioned, there’s nothing you can do to close this sooner unless the family decides they want to close it sooner. If they get an attorney, don’t get to worried, this is common. Clients embellish facts to get someone to take their case and is not really indicative of the merit of their case. If they do retain counsel, direct all contact to him then if you must contact them though it’s probably best to have their attorney and your insurance be the points of contact and if they contact you, advise them to speak with your insurance. The facts,as you present them, are really strong but there is the sympathy factor as a child is involved. That being said, you don’t need to get your own attorney right now, if ever. Insurance companies are very interested in the bottom line and want to settle as cheaply as possible, however, YOU are the one in charge and get to decide if you settle or not. If you want to litigate, they generally have to bear the cost so long as you comply with the terms of the contract. IMO, this family is opportunistic and probably banking on the fact that it’s almost always cheaper for an insurance company to pay them to go away then to actually get a disposition on the merits. As they have filed a claim, your insurance company should be monitoring the child’s treatment. Don’t hesitate to call your carrier for an update. The frustrating part, as you’ve noted, is that this could take a really long time. Specifically, the statute or limitations won’t start until the child reaches the age of majority. That being said, the further we get from the date of loss, the less of a causal nexus there is to the alleged accident. There was no blood, no broken bones, no trip to the ER, no loss of consciousness(?), no lost wages mentioned, no surgery; basically all of the major factors that create value in a claim are missing. I can’t predict the future, and I don’t know your insurance limits and financial state, but it is very unlikely that this will exceed the limits of your policy, let alone bring about your financial ruin. Good luck and feel free to ask my any other questions you have. | People are right in that there isn't much you can do, but by the sounds of it, there probably isn't much to worry about. When injury happens, your insurance has an amount of covers for personal injuries. If there was any actual injury, then it would be up to the mother to provide doctor bills and such to show how much to pay out. If it's just a concussion, that wouldn't even get close to your cap. (I was hit by a car and I got the bills paid and $1500 in pain and suffering. They don't pay much unless something is broken or permanently damaged). And even then, IF something was paid out, the mother would then have to sign something saying they couldn't come back to you for anything else. When it comes to he said/she said situations, unless something can be proven you were at fault, the insurance will likely not pay anything. And the longer the mother waits, the less chance she has of anything. Even if they come at you later on, they would still have to prove they went to the doctors when it first happened. The worst case scenario I'm think is that by some great chance if your insurance pays anything, you might get a little hike in your premium for a few years. | 1 | 18,427 | 1.666667 |

We are living on eggshells. Can it be closed sooner? A year ago, some kids from an adjacent neighborhood were breezing around our neighborhood up and down the hills on their way to school, not obeying the rules of the road. At the same time my husband backed out of the drive way to take our own kids to school. He saw the kids and noticed one had fallen. He looked and saw the kid was fine and went on his way. He didn't speak to the kid or his friends. Later that day as my husband was working from home, he heard the walkie talkie of a police officer in our yard. He went outside and the officer informed him that his vehicle was allegedly involved in a hit and run of a minor. Needless to say my husband was horrified and confused. He had no knowledge there was ever any impact. There was no evidence of impact on my husband's car. My children who were in the car were confused and said they didn't see anything like that happen. The radio was off at the time of the alleged incident. Apparently the child who fell down, rode his bike to school, and told the school nurse he was hit by a car. The police were called and interviewed the boy and his friends. The way the boy says the impact happened could not have happened. He did not even remember the color of my husband's car. His friends never saw any impact and told the officer that. The officer did not issue a citation to my husband. A few days later, the police officer called my husband to warn him that the mother called him to "request" a citation be issued to my husband. When he informed her that was not how it worked, she apparently got belligerent and said she has a family member in the insurance industry and knows how to work the system.

What do we do about it? | d5jhcaa | d5jngft | 1,469,019,605 | 1,469,029,000 | 5 | 10 | She is crazy. Ignore her. | Not yet a lawyer, not legal advice. Contracts not to marry are generally held to be against public policy, and therefore not enforceable. No way a judge would allow that in a decree. I'd ignore the person, and if they try to make a legal issue out of it, talk to a lawyer. | 0 | 9,395 | 2 |
zsy1n4 | legaladvice_train | 0.89 | GF breaks it off with me, wants to stay in my home. Is she considered a renter? I'm going through a bad breakup. Nearly 8 years. We are not married. We have no joint debt. The home is mine, and mine alone. She has contributed to things such as various home repairs, appliances, etc., and she purchases groceries for all in the home (2 children of mine, 1 of hers. We do not have children together). In total, her spend on the home has been around $11k not counting groceries. My spend has been $80k on the mortgage alone since she moved in, plus an additional $25,190 in utilities, internet, etc. She wants to stay for a period, but keep me out of my own bedroom and is willing to split bills with me while she stays. I think its somewhat reasonable but honestly it hurts my heart too much to have her stay in my home and have to be around her with her being distant and cold. I want her out because I can't bear living like that. I don't want to support her while she takes advantage of the situation as a springboard to another man. She says she's technically a renter and I'd have to hire a lawyer to draw up papers to remove her. I thought I could just order her out and call police if she refused. Further, she purchased appliances and the bed on credit, total about $6-8k and wants to hang that over my head as a join liability and another reason I can't remove her from the property. In my opinion, I've provided her shelter and living accommodations above and beyond her contributions. However, I know that legally none of that may matter. How should I proceed? We live in Ohio.

She can't make you vacate your bedroom though. You do not have to let her continue to live there on her terms. You're obviously very emotionally tied up in this so you may not want to share a room with her if she decides to be stubborn and also continue living in the bedroom, but if you make it positively pleasant for her to continue living there, you're giving her all the reasons in the world to manipulate you with the chance of getting back together to delay you terminating tenancy/filing for eviction. | 0 | 15,410 | 2.333333 |

Quite possibly the worst end of relationship experience in my lifetime.

She says she's technically a renter and I'd have to hire a lawyer to draw up papers to remove her. I thought I could just order her out and call police if she refused.

Payment when she hands over the keys and all of her stuff is out of the house, not a penny beforehand. If she agrees, have her served with the 30-day eviction notice and tell her that's the deadline for the payment. That way you start the clock and she can't stall, and she'll likely want the cash so she'll be motivated to move. If she stalls, you've already started the process, after 30 days you file for eviction. If you don't give her the notice to vacate, she's just going to stall and play the "I'm trying to find a place" game eternally, and you'll end up having to evict her anyways, but you'll start from the time you get fed up with the situation. Put the deal in writing and she signs before you pay. In return for $5000, I am voluntarily vacating the premises located at xx st in xx town in xx state, and pay with a check so you have a receipt of the transaction. As much as I know you don't want to start the eviction process, you're going to have to at some point, it's better now than it will be later when you decide you really can't deal with the situation anymore, but then it takes a couple months from that point. Start the process ASAP. | She is technically a tenant, and you will have to follow your state’s eviction procedure | 1 | 8,338 | 4 |
zsy1n4 | legaladvice_train | 0.89 | GF breaks it off with me, wants to stay in my home. Is she considered a renter? I'm going through a bad breakup. Nearly 8 years. We are not married. We have no joint debt. The home is mine, and mine alone. She has contributed to things such as various home repairs, appliances, etc., and she purchases groceries for all in the home (2 children of mine, 1 of hers. We do not have children together). In total, her spend on the home has been around $11k not counting groceries. My spend has been $80k on the mortgage alone since she moved in, plus an additional $25,190 in utilities, internet, etc. She wants to stay for a period, but keep me out of my own bedroom and is willing to split bills with me while she stays.

mmbe4t | legaladvice_train | 0.91 | [Georgia] Found buried Construction Debris in backyard Background: Live in Atlanta, closed on my home in late December 2020. The home was a flip, and the people who renovated the home never lived in it. We recently started working on our backyard and we quickly discovered that a bunch of construction debris had been buried in a yard. I've found an enormous carpet, tiles, pressure treated wood, insolulation, and all sorts of trash back there. Some stuff is within a half inch of the surface. Other stuff is 2+ feet down. My *guess* is that the person flipping the home threw trash from the demolition back there and buried it. My understanding is that this is illegal without a permit (although my understanding might be wrong). My questions: 1. If I could prove that the person who renovated the home is responsible, could I take legal action, or is it too late since we closed 4 months ago? 2. If I can still take legal action, how would/could I prove that it was the builder? For what it's worth, the family that the flippers purchased the home from lived here for 70 years prior to selling the home. 3. In the event it's not possible/practical to take legal action, one of the options I'm considering is just bringing in dirt to level the yard, and leaving the debris buried. Does doing this expose to me to any legal risk down the road? | gtqm569 | gtqkn92 | 1,617,832,472 | 1,617,831,780 | 71 | 23 | Not a lawyer - Pull out your closing package for the property and find the Seller's disclosure form.

9brri5 | legaladvice_train | 0.98 | (WA) Neighbor keeps taking pictures of my car and posting them online Washington state. I live in an apartment complex in Seattle where I rent an apartment. The complex has an underground garage for which I pay a monthly fee (not sure if this is relevant). I own a fairly expensive and new vehicle which is parked on my assigned spot in said garage. On three separate occasions I caught a weirdo neighbor taking pictures of my vehicle. First time, he was in front of the car photographing the vehicle itself, which is fine with me because I thought he probably liked it and whatever. I didn’t approach him.

As in, he was pretending to open the door or lean against it. This bothers me because I do not want him to touch my car or take pictures with it.

There is no expectation of privacy in the parking garage so photography is legal. He lives in the complex so is not trespassing. Touching the vehicle, as long as they haven't deprived you of anything - like the car's value by damaging it, or ability to use it - is probably also legal (although I am not familiar with the specifics of your jurisdiction). He can post his own photos online and do what he wants with them, including claiming ownership of your car, making parodies of your car, etc. Unless you took the photos yourself, and can claim copyright to them, Facebook and Instagram are unlikely to help or care because there is no legal issue here. I think at this point you just have to let it go. Sure, the guy is a bit weird and acting like a teenager. But that's not illegal. Be careful with acting like a stalker, friending him on social media, or reaching out. That might just further his cause if this were to escalate, and he interpreted your actions as friendly. | 1 | 12,605 | 23.315789 |

There is no expectation of privacy in the parking garage so photography is legal. He lives in the complex so is not trespassing. Touching the vehicle, as long as they haven't deprived you of anything - like the car's value by damaging it, or ability to use it - is probably also legal (although I am not familiar with the specifics of your jurisdiction). He can post his own photos online and do what he wants with them, including claiming ownership of your car, making parodies of your car, etc. Unless you took the photos yourself, and can claim copyright to them, Facebook and Instagram are unlikely to help or care because there is no legal issue here. I think at this point you just have to let it go. Sure, the guy is a bit weird and acting like a teenager. But that's not illegal. Be careful with acting like a stalker, friending him on social media, or reaching out. That might just further his cause if this were to escalate, and he interpreted your actions as friendly. | 1 | 26,842 | 11.894737 |

The complex has an underground garage for which I pay a monthly fee (not sure if this is relevant). I own a fairly expensive and new vehicle which is parked on my assigned spot in said garage. On three separate occasions I caught a weirdo neighbor taking pictures of my vehicle. First time, he was in front of the car photographing the vehicle itself, which is fine with me because I thought he probably liked it and whatever. I didn’t approach him. Next two times, as I was quietly walking from the elevator, I could see him taking selfies with my car and having his girlfriend/wife take photos of the weirdo TOUCHING my car. As in, he was pretending to open the door or lean against it. This bothers me because I do not want him to touch my car or take pictures with it. I walked up to them, told him this is not the first time I see him do this and want him to stop immediately. He apologized and walked away.

They might not do anything but they might take the pictures down. If his leaning against the car has caused damages, i.e. scratched the paint, he would be liable for the cost of repairs. Does your care have a remote? If it does and has a panic button, press the panic button the next time he leans against the car.

There is no expectation of privacy in the parking garage so photography is legal. He lives in the complex so is not trespassing. Touching the vehicle, as long as they haven't deprived you of anything - like the car's value by damaging it, or ability to use it - is probably also legal (although I am not familiar with the specifics of your jurisdiction). He can post his own photos online and do what he wants with them, including claiming ownership of your car, making parodies of your car, etc. Unless you took the photos yourself, and can claim copyright to them, Facebook and Instagram are unlikely to help or care because there is no legal issue here. I think at this point you just have to let it go. Sure, the guy is a bit weird and acting like a teenager. But that's not illegal. Be careful with acting like a stalker, friending him on social media, or reaching out. That might just further his cause if this were to escalate, and he interpreted your actions as friendly. | 1 | 34,777 | 5.315789 |

9brri5 | legaladvice_train | 0.98 | (WA) Neighbor keeps taking pictures of my car and posting them online Washington state. I live in an apartment complex in Seattle where I rent an apartment. The complex has an underground garage for which I pay a monthly fee (not sure if this is relevant). I own a fairly expensive and new vehicle which is parked on my assigned spot in said garage. On three separate occasions I caught a weirdo neighbor taking pictures of my vehicle. First time, he was in front of the car photographing the vehicle itself, which is fine with me because I thought he probably liked it and whatever. I didn’t approach him. Next two times, as I was quietly walking from the elevator, I could see him taking selfies with my car and having his girlfriend/wife take photos of the weirdo TOUCHING my car. As in, he was pretending to open the door or lean against it. This bothers me because I do not want him to touch my car or take pictures with it. I walked up to them, told him this is not the first time I see him do this and want him to stop immediately. He apologized and walked away. Yesterday, I saw him AGAIN, dressed in a suit and having a photo shoot with my car. This guy is so fucking ridiculous. I went ahead an found his Facebook profile, then his Instagram. Lo and behold, he has like 26 pictures of him and my car where he claims to be his “new car”. This is a grown ass man, not a teenager. I took screenshots but I’m not sure what’s my recourse from here. I know I cannot stop him from taking pictures of my car but how about him touching it and leaning against it? Is posting the pictures online and claiming to own the vehicle illegal? Should I contact the complex or Facebook/Instagram? I am willing to dump money if necessary to take this weirdo to court but I don’t know what the charge could be. | e56cdfa | e560bcn | 1,535,746,257 | 1,535,735,761 | 16 | 7 | Make copies of the pix of him leaning on your car, give a copy of those to the Apt complex manager, along with showing the social media page to them.
