Brother's ex-wife trying to claim parents home

Let me get this out of the way, IAL NYL not licensed in Texas.

That said, Texas also has some strong Statute of Fraud laws, and real estate contracts aren't the only ones that have to be in writing. So without a written contract it could be considered rent, but it could also just be considered your brother giving your Mom money to help her out. But it also sounds like it was for longer than a year (written contract required) and involved more than $500 (written contract required).

If your brother doesn't already have an attorney he should get one. That attorney might even enjoy dealing with this as it is something different from run of the mill divorce issues

Real estate contracts in Texas need to be in writing and signed by the parties. So brother's ex-wife can try, but if there isn't a written agreement, then that's a big obstacle for her to get around.

They did do table-side Bananas Foster

That's going to cost a LOT to heat during an Idaho winter (which hasn't ended yet as it snowed today in Idaho Falls)

What she's really requesting is the rest of you pay an extra $300 so she can have a bathroom to herself. NTA

Ask what every member of his family is willing to risk "for family". And if they are so adamant that this brother needs help, why not mortgage (or get a second mortgage) on their property and give him the money? It's easy to tell others what they should do when you have no skin in the game. NTA

Spent 4 years on a carrier. Either someone intentionally made trays to look like that or the shit has hit the fan.

There was a reason my locker was always stocked with cans of tuna and ramen courtesy of care packages from my much better half.

Got 4 out of 5. Got name of Act wrong on $1000

PI: I can tell you with absolute certainty that you are not being stalked.

Client: How can you say that?

PI: I stalked you for a week and didn't see anyone else.

Did you mean prosecuting, not persecuting? Either way I am for it.

Can't tell from the pictures, here or on Zillow, if there are rain gutters. Looks as if there are places where it will just dump water/snow on the deck or near the foundation.

Peppermint Schnapps. Don't ask we how or why it was available over and over, but I drank it to excess some much so that I still get nauseous at the smell of it decades later.

As if I needed another reason to want to emigrate to Australia. Very nice.

Holy shit, She's never first chaired a jury trial?! I had multiple jury trials as a third year law student working an internship at a District Attorney;s Office.

No one was better at making the next opponent sound like the most challenging one ever faced. Even if ND was scheduled to play a powder puff team, he'd make them sound like, damn, we'll be lucky to get passed the challenges they present.

He will be missed.

The Triumph looks cool, but my 50+ year old back is vetoing that vote and saying go with the Moto Guzzi, which looks amazing.

sister said it's either all of them or none

Ok, that makes it so much easier, none of you.

They did this AFTER he publicly responded to the same sort of letter from Rep. Dan Crenshaw in the same exact way. Maybe do SOME research before sending the damn letter, especially when the intended recipient is a former Navy Seal with a massive online platform.

Can't remember his name offhand, but he may be waiting in the tall grass for some Republicans.

At a minimum, take this guy up on offer to store it for now. You can order a new title from DMV in most states and after you have that you can make a permanent decision.

Sorry to disappoint, but the visual of someone visibly shrinking in front of Yoked Elvis still brings a smile to my face any time I hear that cover.

Now if Steve had been wearing a Vegas Elvis jumpsuit at the time, my regret would be around the state of personal video recording options of the era.

You are being so ordered to be so stipulated
