  1. NF leagle advice for woman after husband left

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Same thing here, but I would stay out of it if I was you, could come back and bite you. Plus she can't change the locks. You want to help, tell her to get legal advise, legal aid.An other thing, there's always two stories then the truth.

     

    We are staying out as much as possible but do help her out and have loaned them both $$$ in the past to get through hard times. We are very close and know the whole story, I would get into it all but can not on here.

     

     

    I would suggest she contact the nearest Ontario Works office, they can provide excellent advice and provide emergency funding for the family. If the husband still has keys , change the locks and get a restraining order that should keep him away from the house if she feels threatened. (just my opinion). Notify the local police of the situation so they don't come to a domestic dispute unaware of the situation should one arise.

     

    She has been to Ontario works and they will be helping her out. The advice they gave was the same as we did talk to a Lawyer and she did talk to one but he said there is nothing he can do as a free Lawyer she needs to find $$$ to get a real one. He also said that because they were only married 4 years that works against her and she is to educated so that works against her also??? WTH does that have to do with it when your just out of school and not working yet??

     

    Are there any recent court documents awarding her the sole propriety of the jointly owned house? You want to change locks on something you don't own outright? Maybe some of the barrack lawyers should pay her fees. :whistling:

     

    The house is still owned by them both. He did come over today when my wife was there and was not happy that the screen door was locked so he could not just walk into the house They did let him in and he did give her some $$$ but way less then half what he took out of there account.

     

    I was just wondering about the locks so she did not have to wait until Monday to go back to Ontario works or wait to talk to the woman's shelter about them. I thought some her might know if its legal to change them.

     

    I will not be doing things until I know for sure that we can as I dont need to have my life turned upside down because of this.

    Ok I have a family friend who has had her husband leave her and her two kids. She has seen a lawyer on Friday ( free from woman's shelter)to seek advice but he said he can not help her as she has to much education and she needs to pay for a lawyer to get money from the ex.

     

    My questions are

     

    1 he took all money out of the account on Friday and left $30 but mortgage came out so now there account is -$300 and he will not help with food. She had not changed the locks before this because she wanted to talk to the Lawyer but they would not give her any advice. Can some one let me know is it legal to change the locks since he is now leaving her and the two kids with nothing?

     

    Also can she legally keep the kids from him since he is now leaving them high and dry. We live close to Michigan and she is afraid he might leave with the kids.

     

    The part that gets me is she had just finished school and has NO job (well she might have one at a local store for minimum wage 10-20 hrs a week but does not have it yet) as her exams were two weeks ago. That is where I get pissed at the lawyer for saying she has to much education to get free help. She has been in school for two years and just finished.

     

    Any help would be great mostly for the locks as I want to change them so he can not just walk in like he has in the last 3 weeks since he left. I guess he thinks he can just walk in like nothing is wrong when he wants.

     

    Thanks guys

  14. lawn maintenance rates?

    Geoff,

    If you're interested in contracting this out, I could do it for about $780 per cut and you're good for 12% share. Cold hard cash.

    I also do daycare for $600/hr (per child BTW) and would be willing to kick back maybe 21% to your wife.

    I don't have any landscaping or daycare experience just yet but I'm thinking I could combine the two and learn 'on the job'. Can the little brats kids drive a lawn tractor??

    Let me know, I'm just getting into this kind of stuff and looking for my first gigaroo.

     

    Slayer

     

     

    Well I can tell you that $600/hr is way to cheap just post here and let us know how your making out after 2 hours and again after 8 hours and then at 9 hours when the parents say were running late but will be right there. I would take nothing less then $1200 per booger picker.

     

    Yes I have experience with wife runs a home daycare and I give her all the props in the world anything more I say will incriminate me :worthy:

     

    And yes I give this post of the month vote also

    WOW it sure sound like some people down that way need a size 13 steel tow well placed. If I lived close by I would set up some where with a video camera and wait as I would think it happens at night close to weekends?

     

    Its kinda like the people that bugger about the train noise but bought there house by tracks or hate golf balls but love to live on a driving range.

    I have a 12 year old craftsman from Sears that has done me no wrong. Fires up first pull to this day. The key is annual maintenance, treat it right and it will treat you right. I am sure I'll get atleast another 5 year out of it.

     

     

    I have to disagree with you :sarcasm: as my 11 year old craftsman is still up and running fine. heck I changed the oil filter and plug at the end of the first season and now she has been going strong for 10 years with out a thing I might have added a bit of oil over the years and it sits outside all year snow rain or sun. I did buy a tune up kit this year and new blade but might re think about changing a thing as she is still going strong I did have to for the first time take out some emery cloth and clean the plug and wire after that fresh gas and we were in business.

    We were out today lots of boats as expected with the great weather day. My buddy Steve took me to school as usual when jigging the river. He had a bunch of sheep head, 1 smallie, 1 silver, 1 carp, 1 catfish, 1 musky, 2 eye's. I got 1 sheep head and lost a big musky we got one good look at her she was long fat and ready to spawn but left with my jig head in her face she will be alright. Talked with alot of other boats and it seemed as most left with a few fish today with a few more warm days things should be picking up.
