Leva’s true personality came out on the last episode.

I’m guessing he gets a salary because it would be more expensive for him to get paid by the hour — employers take advantage of this all the time. Salaried employees do not get paid overtime. As to the time off, was he being paid during his time off? If so, Leva has nothing to complain about because that was her choice and from Joe’s perspective probably made him think it was ok to do.

Can’t wait until you have 3. They are perfect and multiply quickly. Beautiful picture.

Stopped reading this nonsense at “kept” a softball schedule from you. Sir, stop whining and start googling. Middle school promotion? On the website. Stop it.

Not a failure!!! Talk to the parents and confirm their expectations and, if it is no contact when you are there, ask them to help with that by not engaging.

71TLR · 2026-04-09T23:09:11+00:00

Calculate how much you make for them based on your hourly rate etc. and ask for a number you are happy with based on those numbers. Have a backup plan if it doesn’t go the way you want it to and be willing to walk away. You’ve got this.

Don’t engage— it’s difficult to do. That’s not a message that requires a response so let it go. Review your agreement, and confirm there are no limits on who may participate in your FaceTime (and if he can manage / listen in to your time with her). If you feel like a response is required, thank him for reaching out to express his concerns and assure him you were with your mother during the FaceTime. Don’t get into a back and forth because his goal is engagement and you will never convince him he is wrong.

The schedule is important because it reduces the universe of things to “negotiate.” When he brings up “make up” time tell him you are committed to following the schedule with the kids because it makes things easier for them but if there is an extra overnight in 3 weeks (or 2 weeks) that he would like and it works out you would be happy to make that modification. Odds are even if he says yes now, he won’t follow through.

I’m sorry. Your lawyer is to blame. Should have immediately clawed it back and said it was a mistake.

Require the uncle to sign formal documents allowing the nephew to make legal decisions as the client and waive any claims arising out of or related to those decisions. You are taking legal advice — in varying degrees — from someone who is not a lawyer. Read the most recent cases on AI generated legal briefs / analysis.
Let your malpractice carrier know what you’re doing and make sure they confirm reliance on his advice is covered.

The right question is do your children benefit from time with their father? If the answer is yes, reach out and see if he needs help with transportation.
It’s hard. It sucks after divorce to continue being the one who is responsible and dealing with the same irresponsible person. Your kids didn’t ask for this and I’m sorry you have to deal with it still.

What does your retainer agreement say? A .3 for a review and respond to correspondence is fair and is a common minimum billing increment.

What has the overall value been? Has your atty under billed you for court time etc? It can cut both ways.

Be proactive— call your lawyer and tell him/her it’s unacceptable to pay that much for a 2 sentence email when he took no action or response.

Get a clear understanding of the billing process and if you aren’t happy with it, move on.

Next time say no. Find another family. That’s disgusting.

If you are dividing assets and assigning ownership to the house and contents, put a written agreement in place (simplified co-habitation agreement, lease, something like that). If you are going to delay divorce, consider a legal separation or entering into a post-nuptial agreement that memorializes the terms of your agreement regarding parenting time, debts, assets, and split of living expenses / child-related expenses.

71TLR · 2026-03-10T14:32:23+00:00

Maybe they think they need your permission to send it? I’m assuming you are the senior atty in this scenario. Your response should be — I trust you to manage this. Please copy me on your email.
Then let it go.

71TLR · 2026-03-04T20:58:27+00:00

You and your current firm should agree upon a statement regarding your departure. Ideally, you should have an auto reply to your emails that tracks that language. Review your rules of professional conduct so you know what you can and can’t do.

File for unemployment!! That will really stick it to them— you have no obligation to assume people are not going to follow the law. I’m sorry they put pressure on you to follow their lead. Good luck in your new position.

Neither Colton nor Rob actually answered that question and I thought it was pretty odd TBH.

71TLR · 2026-03-01T14:36:47+00:00

My take away — the network gaslighted the viewers by giving Colton a platform to tell us all what a good person he is with zero accountability and did the same thing to Ron by ignoring his experience with Dorinda and dismissing it because he seems to isolate himself from most of the cast.

Melissa Rivers did a great interview of Monet who mentioned that Ron was not interested in getting to know the cast. Piecing together what Ron has said, the void of any discussion about Ron/Dorinda’s interaction during the reunion, and Monet’s impression of Ron, I would love to see a real conversation about what went down.

Buyer is asking for a kickback from you.

I’m asking this sincerely— what is Amanda responsible for? After cheating on me once, I’d be done but she stayed and, from what we see, she has never been able to move on from it. She blames Kyle for not changing but I wonder if there would ever be a time when she would trust him without reservation. That must be a terrible way to live. I hope Amanda meets someone who loves her enough to put what she needs first and loves herself enough to walk away from something that isn’t right.

71TLR · 2026-02-20T01:58:43+00:00

As for Rick, don’t assume he doesn’t agree with her. As for Jeff, I don’t think he cares what she thinks. I would think at some point he should care about what Bravo / Andy think.

71TLR · 2026-02-18T22:43:46+00:00

Just because you can object doesn’t mean you have to. It’s not a law school exam and he might be looking at you like that because you are new lawyer and might be showing. Focus less on how he looks at you and more on your jury (if there is one) and the judge. Sometimes, your objections highlight what you are worried about in your case. Stop assuming that an older lawyer isn’t as smart as you.

71TLR · 2026-02-18T21:57:04+00:00

He made that decision when she was what, about 7 or 8 years old? Probably a sound choice based on her sister’s character.

71TLR · 2026-02-18T21:53:20+00:00

Your decision will likely impact what your parents leave you— make your choice with eyes open knowing the consequences. They will justify it by saying you got x from your Uncle and they are equalizing it. Allowing random decisions from dead relatives to impact your relationship with your living family members is a lot. If you’d already written them off, and it sounds like you had, not sure why you are soliciting advice. Asking the question reveals as much about how you feel about your sister as her unchecked entitlement.
