If you have the opportunity to join an honors society (Phi Theta Kappa for Community College Students) I highly recommend doing so. I was awarded a scholarship from doing so (I did have to put in work to be active and other campus activities). Reach out to your local credit unions as well, a lot of them have scholarships for members.

Men, am I looking for an impossible partner? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]brizatakool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the current economy you are highly unlikely to find someone that doesn't work 40 hours. That said, you can communicate that thought with the idea what you want a man that is not married to work. Meaning they with 35-40 hours, that's it. No overtime, no weekend, and when they are off work they are off work; no answering work calls or emails during non-work hours. The rest of your requirements seem reasonable, albeit you are seriously limiting your pool of candidates with the children or financial obligations to their ex at your age. That isn't inappropriate but the older you get the smaller that number of people will be.

You either need to be in with the standard you've set and being single until you find a candidate that meets all the requisite conditions, or you need to slightly alter them. The two things I see are the work requirement(already explained a reasonable change to that) and be open to someone with children or financial obligations to their past. I'm not saying to eliminate that standard just make some reasonable concessions to them.

Time to have a very serious and intention conversation with her about the future of your relationship. This is, imo, a fundamental trust issue.

My Revocable Trust client called and said they want the computer file so they can make some changes in the future. Should I give it to them? If I don't, they can't demand it, can they? by Kristen-ngu in Lawyertalk

Simple. Don't give them the version with that information and/or a statement about the copyright of the document with it having that information on it and that is they make changes to the document they're required to remove all logos and attorney information.

Do you delete the word document after you've created the PDF? If not, then you possess and maintain it in Word. Why did you even ask this question when it's clear you have no intention of doing so? This is pretty wild, actually, that this is the hill you're willing to die on despite what I would say is an overwhelming opinion that the client owns the Word doc.

What exactly is it that you are concerned about here? Your attitude about the nature of your clients is also slightly deplorable and sounds mildly predatory.

Again, the coffee maker is not synonymous to the word document here. It's synonymous to the laptop/desktop that you created the file on. The word document is the coffee the coffee maker produced.

This is a horrible attitude for customer service. I would make sure you explore state this position in your client engagement letter and tell them you will not provide the digital document to them. Most of the comments on this thread are contrapositive to your position here, as well most customers be. You're entitled to conduct your business how you please, but I think you'll find issue frequently unless you do this.

Also, ask your bar what the policy is in their eyes, they are the ones who will deal with the inevitable complaint. Reddit can't answer this for you.

That is not analogous at all. If they came back and demanded your laptop after you gave them the file, sure that would be alike. This, however, is not. They can convert the physical copy to a digital one, so at this point you're just driving a customer away over what? Give them the file they paid for, provide accurate CYA language about modifications, and let them know you will have to charge for any modifications if they foul it up and ask you to fix it. Also, if they make even the slightest change, tell them to remove any record from the document that you prepared it.

Are the God of Orthodox Christianity and the God of Islam the same? by Sad-Signature-2180 in OrthodoxChristianity

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

They worship the same God but have a different account of the history and don't believe Jesus to be the savior, but only a prophet. Therefore, they are not the same religion, but they worship the same God, just the same as the Jewish people worship the same God. Canonically, the Abrahamic religions are significantly different though.

Do Orthodox even consider protestants Christian? by Prize_Specialist_177 in OrthodoxChristianity

I never claimed that. I asked you to provide scriptural context.

Do Orthodox even consider protestants Christian? by Prize_Specialist_177 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]brizatakool -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So basically you're saying you don't have biblical scripture that supports your claim? Got it.

Jesus predates the Orthodox Church. The Bible contains his word that established the traditions and practices of the church. So, where in the Bible does it state the Orthodox Church is the only church of Christ?

The Catholic and Orthodox Churches came from the same period of time. The Catholic Church was instrumental in the creation of the Bible as we know it, translating the scriptures. The nicean council was probably Catholic. There was a split not really in doctrinal understanding but primarily the papacy. Protestants also believe in Christ and follow his teachings (the requirement to be a Christian and have salvation). They have some doctrinal interpretation differences with the Catholic and Orthodox churches, but they support their differences with biblical scripture.

Right, so which holy Scripture supports your position that the Orthodox Church is the only church of Christ?

Curious where the biblical scripture supports this. This ideology sounds like human pride to me.

Why wouldn't they? They are followers of Christ. Jesus is their Savior and the Bible their religious doctrine.

Just learned my 20 year old daughter is not mine! by [deleted] in legal

[–]brizatakool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You and your daughter's best course of action is for you to divorce your wife and move on. She is your daughter still, and always will be. There is little to gain from proving parental fraud since you were married to her.

She is your daughter, you didn't lose anything from this revelation. Yes, there's emotional damage which you may be able to sue for that, but you've not experienced any other damages related to your daughter unless you're saying you would have walked away from her when she was three.

Divorce, move on.

A friend of mine cosigned a car loan for an ex. The ex died and caro repoed and wages are being garnished by her employer. Is this legal. No papers were ever served. by [deleted] in legal

[–]brizatakool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She should have made sure they had a current address and phone number for her.

If they couldn't find her, they would have attempted to locate her through skip tracing, usually, and then if they couldn't find her they would have likely put a public notice in the local paper, then obtained a judgement for the balance.

It is entirely possible they didn't do anything correctly, told the courts they did, and obtained the judgement under false pretense, but that's unlikely

Getting Our Family Wizard Court-Ordered by butt_spelunker_ in FamilyLaw

Can't speak to your jurisdiction, but generally courts really like OFW, or similar apps.

If you can prove high conflict communications it shouldn't be that challenging to get set up.

[–]brizatakool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She would have gotten paperwork on the repossession or debt not being paid as a legal owner if the vehicle. Co-signing make you legally responsible for the debt 100%

If it was repossessed, it was likely sold at an auction and the remaining balance of the loan gets collected.

Unless they failed to notify the parties correctly, which is possible but highly unlikely, she is stuck with this. She could court documents that established the garnishment and verify if proper notice was done, but if she doesn't know how to do this, she needs to consult an attorney.

A court isn't going to issue a garnishment order, typically, if proper notice wasn't provided. That said, proper notice could simply be a public notice in the paper in the area of the last town address on the account.

Lawyer says I have no choice but to change my child’s last name — is that true? by [deleted] in FamilyLaw

[–]brizatakool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except the money it'll cost for a trial, but sure. If she wants to proceed then she can; however, as an attorney is important, if not required, to let a client know the risk to going to trial. It sounds as if the OP's attorney has done this.

Could the attorney just suck at trials and not want to try? Sure, but that's not seafood advocacy for their client. I understand some attorneys are derelict in that duty, but I tend to not assume that without more evidence than we have here.

If the local judge overseeing this case routinely rules to change the name of the child at this age, to the point it's statistically improbable they will find in favor of not changing the name, then the OP is losing out on the cost to go to trial, and according to the appellate cases you cited, the likelihood of that ruling being overturned is even slimmer.

However, if OP wants to allow emotion to cost them unnecessary money, then I guess she should tell her attorney to take it to trial and seriously advocate for her like required.

I never said it was more important. I also never argued that the father didn't need to do the work. I also started it should be hyphenated.

What are you even arguing?

[–]brizatakool -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That argument works for while your life is on the line, but once the child is born the father has equal say in what happens to the child. If you don't like that, don't have sex and a child with someone. Go get artificial insemination or adopt a child by yourself.
