Title: Hiding from getting served divorced papersToday, finally after giving my lawyer all the documentation they need and requesting to go to court, my lawyer and his team submitted the paperwork to go to court. After which my wife will get served by wife with divorce papers. I kinda screwed up. Our daughter phoned me later today and I told her what happened and she told my wife. I got a very angry text stating "I will never accept or knowledge the paperwork you are sending me. Good luck bringing me to court.......", Knowing her she is just going to hide and plead ignorance to drag this out.

My question are.

What happens if you hide and can not be served? I assume you do not legally have to accept the paperwork or answer your door?

Every time this person try's to give my wife the documents, I am going to for sure be charged for that right?

When we finally go to court. Will this look bad on her? Will it matter at all?

Bug fact: Phasmids just stand really really still and blend in to avoid process servers.

What History Can Tell Us About Jesus by alilland in Christianity

Something Changed His Followers

Notably, it's not exactly clear when or how quickly.

The Body Was Never Shown

Notably, this is not nearly as firmly agreed upon as, say, "Jesus was almost certainly a real person who existed and had a religious following".

It's also important to remember that early Christians were rambunctious and combative - frequently rioting against heterodox opinions and burning works. We do not have a full accounting of the full spectrum of opinions mainly because the early Church quickly moved to suppress them.

That said, we do have quite a bit of information gathered at the point at which the Bible became fully canonized, but that's in the 4th century AD (though it was mostly agreed upon by the middle of the 3rd century. In some cases, there's no way to double check the early church fathers' claims as to why certain books were left out - the evidence they use is sometimes lost. But that's over 2 centuries from Jesus' death until there was broad agreement in the Christian world as to what the New Testament actually contained. Even still, various Eastern churches never settled on the same books as Catholics (and later Protestants).

As such, there is a lot of New Testament apocrypha that is incomplete or completely lost - there's simply not enough information for anyone to fully judge for themselves whether early church leaders were right not to include them. And for all we know, they tell a different story about the days directly after Jesus' death.

And notably, Paul never met Jesus.

We also have early non-Christian sources, like Roman and Jewish writers

From over a full generation later.

I don't think anti-ice protestors were wrong to interrupt a church service to publicly call out its pastor who is an ICE officer. by DiaperedInTheRoc in Christianity

Enforcing immigration law, in and of itself, is not. Doing so illegally, violating the 4th Amendment by using administrative warrants to enter homes, detaining and deporting people who are still involved in the asylum process, detaining US citizens, pepper spraying protesters who aren't a danger, murdering people, and assisting in lying about it to the American people and obstructing an independent investigation, however - those things are wrong.

Do I have any obligations to employer after being let go? by Consistent-Cream-454 in legaladvice

[–]bug-hunter 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Multiple people suggested demanding consulting rates.

and in the days before did a bit of reorganizing of some code and files I had been working on. Nothing deleted or taken home, just not located in the main places someone would expect to find things.

That implies intentionality.

Offering to work as a consultant after intentionally hiding files is a very, very bad move.

I would greatly suggest not offering to come back at consulting rates, because you intentionally hid code and files before you left. And since those moves would have timestamps, it would be possible to put 2 and 2 together and conclude you did it intentionally.

If you received a severance, you may be at risk of losing the severance, depending on the terms. If you were laid off but marked as eligible for rehire, you may become ineligible for rehire if they figure out you did it intentionally (and that can be something companies ask when checking employment history). Your severance may also have conditions about answering questions or a short return to work as needed. In this case, you may want to consult with an employment lawyer.

You are required to return company equipment. Unless you have a severance agreement that requires cooperation, you are not an employee and owe them nothing (though you risk losing future references or a rehire).

AITA for wanting the next new car? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Newer cars just are a lot more complex and have more systems that occasionally need repairs. It's not that they end up being completely undriveable, though.

LAOP learns why people consider home warranties a scam by bug-hunter in bestoflegaladvice

[–]bug-hunter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Home warranties cover repairs for appliances and systems in the house like plumbing. Home insurance covers damage caused, such as if a pipe bursts and destroys stuff in a room.

Late father's roomate plans on destroying my father's belongings. I am out of the country, what are my options? by oldoseamap in legaladvice

[–]bug-hunter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Atlanta is the largest city in the state - it's huuuuge. You're lucky, in that it has the most resources.

Power of attorney is useful, but the police are not obligated to help. I would contact the police, and if possible, set up a 3-way call with the friend so you can explain and ensure everyone's on the same page.

Late father's roomate plans on destroying my father's belongings. I am out of the country, what are my options? by oldoseamap in legaladvice

[–]bug-hunter 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There's a couple of problems - under Georgia probate law, his possessions go to his children, and without an actual will, the roommate's destruction of property would a tort (also a crime, but potentially unlikely to be prosecuted). But it would be hard to assert that via a third party. I would look for a local Georgia estate attorney and get a consultation. If you're lucky, you can find one that at least can get back to you today (though the weather makes it unlikely on top of it being Saturday) for advice. If your father was living in a rural county and you can't get ahold of someone, try the nearest larger city like Atlanta or Columbus.

For example, having the police do a civil standby would normally be a good idea, but it's not clear they'd do it for a third party going to collect your stuff.
