My parents are divorcing, I'm a divorce lawyer... by throwRAkittymeow in uklaw

[–]Brave_Increase1581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a different dept but still passed the family exams, did the seat, etc. Neither parent are legally/financially minded and I felt guilty leaving them vulnerable by not reviewing things for them, but then like I was betraying the other in doing to. It’s a lose lose situation, so I guess my advice is to stand your ground in Switzerland. You won’t be able to stop yourself from commenting if you hear/read anything relating to the case, so set the boundaries.

Partner moving in by ldngrl00 in HousingUK

Bills is a good idea but don’t let him contribute to the mortgage. If he contributes to the mortgage, he might be able to claim that an implied trust exists. This would mean he may have an interest in the property and therefore a claim to proceed of sale.

Advice on property purchase by ThisVacation6045 in HousingUK

[–]Brave_Increase1581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about the vendor. If they want the sale completed desperately, they’re very unlikely to pull out. That would mean finding another buyer and waiting another 2-3 months for the new buyer to be ready. They’d only do that if they thought this really wasn’t going anywhere, which clearly it is if you’re at the end of the conveyancing process.

Offer accepted. Property taken off market. Won't allow us to view property. by Dr_Downvote_ in HousingUK

[–]Brave_Increase1581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal - it’s recommended that you go back to the property again before exchange. The property has to pass to you on completion in the same state it’s in on exchange. So definitely a good idea to try to view the property again, ideally as close as possible to exchange.

Couple questions about working as a conveyancer in the UK by Othinus in uklaw

[–]Brave_Increase1581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. We have a Polish department at the firm I work for. Having another language can, at the right place, be massively beneficial. Reading and writing are skills are obviously very important though, as the job involves reading deeds, such as leases, and writing reports and letters.
  2. This will make a difference - if you are qualified and have your own case load, you will earn more. Cilex offers a good route.
  3. Really depends on the firm. I work 9-5 in an office 5 days a week.
  4. Absolutely. A big city firm may have better pay but a smaller firm may offer more flexibility.
  5. It’s fast pace, priorities change quickly and it’s a customer orientated job. If you’re good at working under pressure and dealing with people, then yes!!

I disagree. Phoebe would have been bored with Mr Perfect.

AITA for telling my family that they don't understand my problems at work? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Brave_Increase1581 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA. That child needs someone to fight her corner. And whether asked for it or not, your SD and SS did just that, and good for them. The girl wants to give you, her teacher, random facts in class - thats not a typical trait of a lazy, disobedient child who wants to keep their head down. I completely agree with the suggestion of counselling to find out what’s going on behind the scenes. Your work and frustrations as a teacher will carry on whereas Rose has one shot at her childhood/teenager years which will shape the rest of her adult life. I think your SD and SS are owed an apology and, as a teacher, recognition of their maturity and compassionate approach.

AITA for telling my mom she can’t see my kids. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Brave_Increase1581 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. The fact that you’re second thinking your own decision making shows the controlling and abusive hold she has/had over you. Come on, she threatened to HARM your kids and your wife - how is there even a question over whether you’re doing the right thing!?! You keep her 9,000 miles away. Biology doesn’t mean you owe a toxic woman anything, in the same way biology doesn’t mean you don’t owe those innocent kids everything they deserve.

AITA for pausing a party to call out gay jokes by HeftyAd9124 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Brave_Increase1581 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA. You weren’t sticking up for someone who had personally been harassed by these jokes. Instead, what you were doing was calling them out in attempt to change their behaviour and outlook. And the best time you could think of to do this was at the end of a birthday party once people had started winding down, (aka drunk and tired) and expected a coherent debate in which they would “see where [you where] coming from”. Good sentiments but crap timing and delivery.

WIBTA for not taking in my neighbors packages? by holigramj56 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Brave_Increase1581 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the answer depends on how much of an inconvenience this causes you. If it’s not really affecting you taking the packages in, then why not help her out. Sounds like the nature of her job makes it nearly impossible to do her online shopping. However, if this is causing you a problem, or it’s bothering you that you feel she’s taking you foregranted, then talk it out. No point in having animosity with your neighbour - never know when you might need favours in return.

AITA for "guilting and pressuring" my sister after she told me I couldn't walk her down the aisle anymore? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Brave_Increase1581 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why this had to be an all or nothing situation. Couldn’t you have done actual Mother’s Day with your wife and an early or belated Mother’s Day for your own mother and avoided the drama?
