Solomon Grundy posted:$175 is not a lot of money. The filing fee for any lawsuit anywhere is likely more than that. Forget it and move on. The rest of the responses are law-school hypothetical nonsense. The lesson I got out of stories of contracting like this is that you need to charge more so people take your seriously. I mean, $175 is like an hour of billed work. More like 30 minutes for you lawyer types.

Dorkopotamis posted:Alright, so I'm a student at a certain Vermont college and I host a talkshow that interviews faculty members. I brought a bottle of iced tea, actually filled to the brim with whiskey, and left it in the green room for my guests, two professors, to drink. I did not open the bottle when I arrived. I opened it in my room to pour whiskey into it. Cameras saw me put it down in the green room, however. This isn't legal advice, this is dealing with university bureaucracy advice. I am under the impression that you brought that there for those two faculty members, yes? They wanted it? The next question is crucial: Is either faculty member tenured? If so, you have to make them go to bat for you. It should make for a very entertaining hearing, just keep your mouth shut and let the boozing tenured professors tell the kangaroo court to go to hell. EDIT: This will work if they're not tenured too, but they'll definitely have to go through proper channels instead of being able to show up and tell the kangaroo court its out of order and should gently caress off.

What The Fucktrain posted:I apologize if this is too specific for this thread, but what sort of laws or legal precedents and such are there for the validity of wills if the person writing them are under the influence of anti-psychotics (Zyprexa, which is from what I can gather rather controversial and strong, especially since in this case the person did not exhibit signs of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.) Obviously I'm not a lawyer myself but I know in a will you must be of sound mind and body and I don't think of someone on fairly strong anti-psychotics as of sound mind. Zyprexa is controversial for causing obesity and diabetes, not for screwing with your mind. Its actually not a particularly powerful atypical, so it gets used for a lot of off label stuff, especially anxiety. You're thinking of typical antipsychotics like haldol or thorazine.

Dracon Wolf posted:My brother told me today he got fired from work. He hurt his leg about two weeks ago where he can't walk temporarily. He's had doctors notes and everything saying he is unable to go to work. Today his boss told him that he's going to have to fire him since he needs someone "able to work". Now to me this doesn't seem right. Not a lawyer, but the massive question here is: Was he hurt at work?

kimbo305 posted:Probably put on too loosely. Unless the oil filter is mounted very high up on the MZR motor, which I don't think it is, there's no way you could have gotten far from the shop without an oil filter on and not immediately gotten smoke or a seized engine. I bet they didn't remove the gasket from the previous oil filter.

SWATJester posted:The relative rarity of being prosecuted with a specific intent crime for something so minor and with such obviously unprovable intent would indicate to me that something else is going on. Typically an officer would just say "OK, well we'll take a statement and it's between you two". What did he do to piss the officer off enough that he not only gave him a written arrest, but the prosecutor actually is going through with it? Second post above yours, until the guy realizes that he should remove it.

Konstantin posted:The short answer is that you aren't the primary caregiver of the children. Who has to spend more money on a larger house because you have kids? Who pays for the kids' health insurance? If they get sick, who would take time off of work to care for them? Who buys new clothes when they outgrow them? In addition to that, divorce court is normally biased in favor of the woman. Unless you are willing to fight for full custody of the children (a battle you are unlikely to win) you'll end up paying child support. If you want you can cut back on what you voluntarily give to your kids, you don't have to provide free daycare, but the fact that you do so doesn't matter much to the courts. Could he charge $800/month or whatever the child support payments are for daycare? (this would be a bargain in any major city, yes?)

Outrail posted:Another angle is that home buyers aren't usually repeat customers, so the incentive to keep your clients happy isn't as strong as other industries. When you are looking for a house you often will ask people at work or family members in your area who they used for a real estate agent and if they're good or not. euphronius posted:The worst thing selling agents do is make it seem like they are also representing the buyers Do all states not have to have you sign dual agency documents really early in the process if you're doing that? Like, when you go to an open house and say you're not currently working with an agent early.
