My lawyers told me they had filed a civil case 4 years ago yet I’ve never signed papers etc received any documents or know anything what was filed . I only
Found out by getting new lawyers and emailing the court. I found out they only applied for it last year . I also called the doctor who I spoke to through the lawyer who was screaming at me telling me to get my lawyer to pay him for
My report . can I sue this law firm etc ?

Hii everyone i posted here some days ago that i got Dv intentional choking and Dv common assault. Yesterday was my final hearing. The charges has been dismissed/withdrawn and he got a 3 month advo against me by my consent and without admission. Will it impact on my student visa and will it create problem for my future pathway ?

I recently got pulled over in a v8 Holden caprice on my red p plates. Officer got me on the lick stick and a caution for not displaying p plates but not for driving a high performance vehicle. He repeatedly asked me if it was a v8 but just took my word for it. I’ve done some research and pretty sure they can still send me a fine and demerits point if they figure it out while the sample is still in the lab.

Have I gotten away with it or will only time tell?

Hello everyone,

About 3 years ago my mum passed away and my father had his estate (Will/POA) redone.

It was only approximately 6 months since my mother died that I signed the new enduring POA giving it solely to my sibling and myself as the alternate.

I was intoxicated the night I signed this form and now that some time has passed I do not think that they should have sole enduring POA.

I have requested with my father for him to change it to joint (not just giving one sibling the enduring POA) and explained my reasons as to why I no longer agree with his decision, and I understand ultimately that it is his decision.

But I am wondering if it is worth it for me to revoke my 'alternate enduring POA' considering I was intoxicated when I singed and did not fully realise what I was signing. Or should I just suck it up and let it be?

Thankyou :)

Hi!

I am a German primary school teacher and together with my husband, I want to emigrate to Australia. We have already started the visa process and I have a possible job offer from a school in Melbourne.

I have a question regarding my work experience and how to state this in the visa application.

In Germany, teacher education consists of two phases:

1. 4 years of university: Bachelor and Master of Education
   **2) 18 months of "apprenticeship": Paid work at a school for 14h/week (teaching independently) and seminars for 8h/week**

After finishing both phases, I have been working as a full-time teacher for 3 years now.

My question is:
**Do the 18 months of apprenticeship count towards my work experience or not?**

Happy to receive any information or practical knowledge (:

So I came into $11,000 and my son asked to borrow some which I ended up lending him $4000, and he agreed to pay me back each week, I also gave him another $4000 to buy a car for me, he said he bought one but just kept ignoring me I have since found out that he never bought me a car and has kept the money and has now blocked me on everything, he knew how much this money meant to me, I'm beyond devastated and angry that he could do this, is there anything I can do like press charges ? And technically I gave him the money for his car can I take it ?

Hello,
I reported my abusive ex partner about a year ago and he was finally charged with the following
Threat to sexually assault
Threat to destroy property
Production of an intimate image
Distributing the intimate image
Threat to share intimate image
He recorded us having sex with a camera on the roof of his bedroom without my consent..
I have evidence of all this, I have the video, texts of him threading to rape me and burn my house down. And him admitting to recording the video.
I have an IVO and he breached it once and is being charged separately for that I think. He would also threaten to kill himself, and he made fake documents that he had a heart condition when he actually didn’t

Anyway I am just so confused and no one is giving me a clear answer on what his punishment could be, does anyone have any experience in a case similar to this and what were the legal outcomes for the offender?? He’s just an evil person and it’s frustrating me not knowing what could happen or if he will just get away with it
Thank you in advance

It was a mistake and instead of charging me $250, they’ve fat fingered another couple digits. What would you do in this situation? They’ve already refunded the money btw.

Full story begins almost 30 yrs ago... My parents got the bright idea to buy a house and then put my horrible grandmother (dad's mum) on the title for it and let her live in the granny flat. Presumably she was supposed to contribute to the household by being a babysitter for me and my brother, which she didn't really do, she couldn't give a rat's ass about anyone but herself.

It's been years now and she's never contributed a cent to mortgage, bills, etc, and now it's getting to the stage where she may need a nursing home. This has understandably scared my mother because my mum could now be forced to sell the house and use half the proceeds to pay for it. If this happens there's no chance of my mum getting another place as the money won't be enough and she has a disability now that prevents her from working.

My question is if there's anyway to legally get my grandma off the housing title on the basis that she's never contributed anything towards it and therefore not entitled to it?

Sounds harsh, I know, but I wouldn't be surprised if my grandma planned it this way years in advance just to screw us over. What can we do, if anything?

Hey can anyone help me, I got contacted from the towing company that took my car to organise me a car though there hire car company and told me that they will charge the insurance company, my insurance company is telling me I can’t do that, but I already have the car I don’t know what my legal standing is, I am the not at fault driver

Okay so bit of a backstory, I (18F) was dating my ex about a year and a half ago. At the time I was 15 and he was 17, the relationship continuing until I was 17. I found out he was cheating on me about 2 months after our 1 year anniversary, I had suspicions of him cheating on me the whole relationship. Anyways I found a reddit account login information saved onto his phone which I didn’t know about so I logged on, it ended up being like a porn account. I then found the email used to make the account which was a fake email he created.

I used that email to login to his fake Snapchat account where I found out he was cheating on me, messaging girls, sending nudes, saving nudes just nudes and porn saved into the memories on Snapchat and also sending my nudes along with others into Snapchat groups. We broke up after that but stayed living with each other for another year or something. He had that email for a bunch of different social media platforms so I ended up changing all of his passwords to the Snapchat, Insta, onlyfans and TikTok account so I could properly look through it and so he couldn’t delete anything.

Anyways coming back to now I still have access to these account because I feel like if I delete any proof of him cheating on me no one will believe me. I logged onto the account the other day to clear the account, the images, the sex tapes and came across something very disturbing. I found child material in his my eyes only, it was two videos and they barely looked over 15. Now I didn’t see that before when I looked a year ago but I use the email he used for the account so i can use it for my App Store since my account is band, also so he can’t access the accounts.

I wanted to take this to the police since I have access to all of the accounts but I’m scared I will get in trouble or blamed. Will I get in trouble for having access to that account even if I didn’t know that he had child stuff on there? Will they think the account is mine? I just don’t want to cop any backlash because I have access to all of the accounts and emails he used for that stuff. I feel like I really need to report it but not if it could get me into legal trouble as well.

I have text messages proving the accounts aren’t mine but I’ve regularly logged onto the Snapchat account because I liked to look through to see if I missed messages, also to make myself feel bad and to remind myself that he was not a good person. If anyone has any advice on what I should do please help.
