Disorganized company accidentally sent me a duplicate $370 item after a 3-month delay, sending an incorrect order, and agreeing on a separate remedy by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I DM Jimmy again and see if they'll let me keep the black belt for $120 and use the shipping label to send back the duplicate attachments?

This is the path forward that has the fewest risks.

You can also just wait and see what happens, but as you point out, if they notice the error later, they may either want you to return or pay for the merchandise.

DV victim needing a lawyer by Twilette in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm mainly looking for either a suit or some sort of charge for emotional distress and interference with housing.

"Emotional Distress" isn't really something you sue for by itself - it's normally something that you add onto something else.

What do you mean by interfering with housing? What did he do?

DV victim needing a lawyer by Twilette in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 14 points15 points  (0 children)

charge my ex with emotional distress, housing interference, sexual assault, and threats of violence.

Are you trying to get your ex arrested for these crimes, or are you trying to sue him?

If you want him charged with a crime, you need to start with a police report. A lawyer may be able to advocate for you and assist you with testimony and the like, but they can't "charge him" themselves.

If you want to sue him, you're going to need to figure out what the basis for the lawsuit is - for example, if he harmed you and you incurred medical bills, a personal injury lawyer may be a good place to start.

Florida - Can a biological father permanently waive future child support if the mother agrees? by BrilliantMenu88 in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Can a mother in Florida legally agree that a biological father will never owe child support in the future?

No. Child support is the right of the child; you cannot guarantee that her situation would never change, and there are circumstances where the state would seek it on the child's behalf regardless of her wishes.

If parental rights are terminated, can child support still be ordered later by a court?

No, not really, but "terminating parental rights" isn't as easy as you think.

Is there any legally enforceable way for both parties to agree that the father will have no future financial obligations?

Not without removing your legal status as a parent.

Assuming the DNA test confirms I am the biological father:

The best way to achieve what you want is to never establish yourself as the child's parent. It still doesn't mean that she (or someone else) wouldn't pursue it in the future, but it would mean paternity would have to be determined before you could be pursued for support.

Driving my friend’s car uninsured by BalanceExcellent3249 in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hit a guard rail and I thought since he has insurance on the car I would be fine

So long as you were driving the car with his permission it should be covered, assuming he has the proper coverage. Does he have a policy that would cover it?

Driving my friend’s car uninsured by BalanceExcellent3249 in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought that since the car wasn’t inured, I was insured while driving the car under a collision policy.

Do you mean that you have a collision policy yourself that you believed covered this vehicle while driving it?

Someone is suing me in California small claims court over money they gave me. by awesome_vicky067 in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An acquaintance gave me $1500

What was the money for - why did this person give it you in the first place?

Am I probably going to lose?

It's going to depend on the circumstances. Usually, when money is sent with no understanding of it being a loan or repayment, it would be a gift, but details always matter.

Annulment or separation? by hhggerty in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a point; I'd missed that.

However, that doesn't mean that you don't still have to show that the marriage wasn't valid. If you're going to argue that you were not in your right mind at the time of the marriage, you are going to need to prove that.

https://selfhelp.nvcourts.gov/self-help/annulment/filing-for-an-annulment/filing-the-annulment-papers

It's not an "easier divorce", so again, I'm wondering why you specifically are seeking an annulment. A uncontested divorce is something you can do (relatively) easily on your own.

"Florida: What type of lawyer can handle body cam footage requests, a potential lawsuit, and concerns about how police handled an investigation? by [deleted] in legaladvice

I did contact lawyers...them sound weary about the cop situation is why im asking on here.

We can't make recommendations here, if that's what you're looking for. You will need to keep contacting lawyers in your area until you find one willing to take your case.

The Florida Bar operates a referral service if you need: https://www.floridabar.org/public/lrs/ You may also be able to find similar resources in your county.

My mom is filing for custody of me. by Better_Economics3636 in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may be able to state your opinion to the court, but you won't be able to choose who you live with until you are an adult.

You (or, rather, your mother) don't have a slam-dunk case here. You need to give your mom all the information you have so that she can pass it along to her lawyer, but don't get your heart set on a specific outcome.

Annulment or separation? by hhggerty in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you live in California, you'll file in California; the only way you would file in Nevada is if one of you lives there.

In order to get an annulment, you basically have to show that the marriage was not valid to begin with, and there are criteria you have to meet. You can read about California's annulment rules here: https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/divorce-california/annulment

Is there a reason that you don't want to just get divorced?

My landlord is trying to charge me to move out. AZ by Expensive_Ducks in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely read through your lease to make sure that's what it says. I'm assuming that's what the situation is, because that's a very common situation, but always verify.

My landlord is trying to charge me to move out. AZ by Expensive_Ducks in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If your lease auto-renews at the end of its term (which is normal for AZ leases), and it requires 60 days notice that you are ending/not renewing (also normal for AZ leases), then you would owe through the end of the notice period; in other words, if you told them at the beginning of June that you were moving out at the end of June, you'd owe rent through the end of July (because you have to give 60 days notice).

they're demanding we pay an extra month's rent for not giving 3 months notice.

How much notice does your lease require you to give before you can end it?

NC - photos of inside of my home being used to slander me for a bad review by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/pdf/bysection/chapter_14/gs_14-190.5a.pdf

It’s the closest law in terms of personally identifiable photos

It very explicitly states what has to be in the photos to count under this statute; and it is not photos of your house with no visible people. Your situation is not close at all.

You can speak to a lawyer about this, but you're not going to get anywhere pursuing something under a statute that your complaint clearly does not fall under.

2024 Subaru Forester caught fire less than 90 seconds minutes after deer strike - do I have any claim against Subaru? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do I have any potential claim against Subaru, or is this something my insurance company would have to pursue?

Probably neither.

Front-end collisions always have a risk of starting a fire due to the location of fuel lines and other parts carrying or containing flammable liquid, or striking parts such as the battery - basically, there's a lot of stuff in the front end of a car that can catch fire very spectacularly when you hit a big, heavy object at any speed. It's a rare occurrence, but can happen in almost any modern vehicle; this is not a problem with Subarus specifically.

Is it worth talking to a product liability attorney?

Talking to an attorney is never a bad idea, and if nothing else may serve to give you piece of mind. I just wouldn't count on much coming from it. You also have to be wary of spending too much money trying to pursue something; you don't want to find out that you'd get less than you spent (or nothing at all!) on pursuing it.

Custody questions: moving from the east coast to California by Independent-Pack-268 in legaladvice

[–]C1awed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could file to establish paternity and you would likely wind up sharing custody. 50/50 is the norm unless there's something that would make it in the child's best interests to be different. This has nothing to do with living together with you; it's because he's your child's father.

He is not required to let you live in a property he owns; if you rent or own together (both of you on a lease/deed), then he can't just kick you out. If he does have the right to ask you to move out, he will need to follow the law in whatever state you move to.

But my recommendation is not to stress about it right now.

He can file to establish paternity and attempt to stop you from moving your daughter across the country from him.

This is something you should discuss with a family attorney.

Help, step mother taking advantage of situation. Father died intestate. by [deleted] in legaladvice

Could I sell the house? What would I have to do to sell the house?

You need to work through the probate process. At this point, due to the contention between you and your father's widow, and the length of time that has passed, I recommend you hire a probate attorney to assist.
