I am locked in when my cable company for another two years and they just told me. That they are removing Cinemax. From my package and they know can't get a Mac yeah and they can they do that. Well so if you look at your contract I'm sure you're going to find the small small fine print which says that they have the discretion in the right. To add or subtract channels as the case may be. So I don't think you're gonna get out of there with a breach of contract however. If you call mopping your voice your complaint I'm sure they'll let you go all right this is Chris hello Chris. Grasp I don't know round Goodyear on and asked an attorney with the art in house counsel Larry army junior when he got. So I held a rental properties down in Rhode Island. We use safe third party. Companies. That provide the renters to us also does see. Leases dozens you know all that kind of back and stuff. So our relationship is gone itself however we have. You can't it's moving him in September. So lead that they signed current lease states that. All these dead goat to this third party company and then they give us some money. Now we're not gonna be using them anymore is it possible to cancel. Lease or break that we supported that we get payment. Still let me just our pricing and not places that so yes yes you know I give you legal advice however I'm still gonna answer the question ethnic that's ever study yes Africa. So. If you have a kind at least a contract that's signed by the tenets in by you. And he rental company management companies use secured that Tenet for you the chances are. They can be entitled to their feeling is that. Common sense advice here is to contact them and paid at their feet. So he checks go directly to you you have to deal now but I guess it is his contacts you're gonna get that. I am building here is 617 text I am building a tree house from my kids called in I've consulted I consulted with the town's building department in person and I was told that no permits are needed. And there's no dialogue that is related to this I was told that there that it's not considered a structure salon has not supported by anything but the tree. I have completed the platform that the house is gonna sit on in just received a letter. From the pound building department saying my anticipated treehouse is clearly a structure. And is felt the same set back closet shad. Although nosy neighbor right there ever in my. All somebody knocked out and locks are men I've lived here for us yeah great show on not sure where do you I'm not sure what channel it's on yeah. I tree house through Arizona don't listen do duels or 200000 or trios who pulled the obstacles are discovered what the golf treehouse master okay not a blank here what's the what's the deal on this. He's already in about a thousand bucks for the treehouse platform that he's built. Latte this we really need to know what town they're rented Terry look at the town bylaws any sphere viewed. Number one if you got the building inspector to tell you this is in the structure. I'm assuming he has now that writing if he does that might change things. However I will tell you that what you could do it shouldn't go to the Massachusetts state building code which a lot of situations trumps the local building code. And you'll find anything under 200 square beaten terms or tree house. Needs no permanent. Well now there's two different questions here duck the corporate question is does he need a permit matter at the time into a square feet which is basically you know. Pretty big. Yeah about ten by Tony Alamo and a great trio duck not replied I don't. My third that my child must have a 1000 square foot tree house yeah I got over a 150 square feet. Needs to comply with a separate requirements okay. It is so it's and it's human it's quick the you do not need a permit millions over a 150 square feet you do need to comply with the setbacks which are typically ten feet or something like a structure. The parent for seven anyone tax. Social Security overpaid my mother for twelve years. And they are now asking for the money back it's over 60000. Dollar on why what do we dale you. Listen I love these questions. Somebody had to know she was. More than you. Your big pretty share. Well you know he's getting you get blown out now on the brakes shark goldmans are the most money home club about two and 93. A little different line. What do you what do you think I think that at some point in time you're gonna have to pay some of that money back there is a deal to make. Make a phone call get a lawyer and negotiate about if that wasn't her money it's not our money. My buddy got arrested drunk driving a boats on a lake. He refused the sobriety test which led to his arrest is that legal. So the police can arrest that they have probable cause so you know legal is. Is yes but the the better question is why would I be doing and step lock and turn on a blow. Honestly. Sounds like some like attorney Arnie might have a little wriggle out loans they like we have defense. So the boat was was rock and and you and there are apparently so I don't water it was hard to be walking and has not Ana Maria my yield nine feet and a message is up and whatever what is it I'll be honest I don't you know I narrator an affair of sobriety test ever. Let's see he's this is asking attorney our weekly segment with our in house counsel area army junior. You can text any and all questions or call within you know questions. A five point next few months back my company laid off twelve people while that severance pay. Myself and another warned formed two weeks ago that we were also going to be laid off. But they have another position available if we interview for its. They told us that if we don't take into position we will still be laid off but we will get no severance unlike the others who got. Sentences that okay. Well it is okay we will get potentially is unemployment so there's just is that. In terms of the severance I would imagine you know we have to look at contracts to the other people have contracts that you have a contract as their severance call for in their contract. You know basically company can do it they wanna do. You know again. I'll tell you one thing and in this goes really into more about real world vs legal advice companies don't like to see lawyers involved in cases like this so. In typically get lawyers Eden and a block when it was something. 50 wait text on the female who was sexually harassed by a co worker last year it was reported to my boss but no action was taken. The perpetrators has since left the company ten Aysu Mike company for this a year later yes well. I mean you're within your statute of limitations. I think that your biggest problem is the EU are probably going to sue for sexual harassment in the workplace. Gain the back east they differ a year is gonna be Eric is going to be a mitigating circumstance in terms you damages. I mean if it was that bad why do you stay for twelve months. What is the statute of limitations. Or sexual harassment workplace asking for a friend. Had no comment I'm in residence and your friends talk about conflict of interests. Daddy knows the answer to that that they announced that and then you get fresh threat. This morning that let's see this is David on the Framingham forward studio line during ask him to Ernie what's up David. They're great they take my call I appreciate it followed by a mother who assumed my father's security. Without going to vote for. Got a letter from Social Security in 2016. She's been overpaid for. All fourteen it. Wow so another socialist so scary illness and security is the way I go sound yet there. Larry said earlier you you have you have to pay it back the money has to be paid back but there isn't it appears it. Is there anything. He's even know she felt all the all the court paperwork also pushed so she was on a state pension. And change while all that information she'd been told them every year about her pension increase. They finally it's finally in 2016 but hey we can double pay it. See this is nice and we keep people on the phone follow up they don't know that that's a little bit of a different situation in the first caller yeah. You know she's firmly taken those steps to let them know this and they haven't done. I will tell you this. This kind of goes to the point earlier for the first acts. Somebody obviously if you didn't know she wouldn't have been telling them all these years and he. You Euro pain so you know what they would say you should have done in what you probably should blaming. You know what Larry did is to put the money into bank account and in Atlanta for one day but you see you're saying that what what you. You didn't know that all all she did was what when my mom and dad died she assumed that sold securities and she got. A payment she didn't know it was the wrong thing. I'm not saying that anything wrong I definitely not say that. And I have seen is that they had do better reason that she continued to let Social Security you know year after year. That are state pension was increasing because when state pension increases your Social Security benefits decrease so so he. So but we'll Larry says he could negotiate with them most likely right and give them got them give them give them some of and there's a lot of lawyers up I'm not one of them yeah and army and Roche we do not do Social Security by now there are a lot of lawyers especially as an actress. All right this is Marisa hey Marissa. Let's go when. Content I am I saying I'm moving from. 8 o'clock. And on back and that they. Did that day at a record. And he liked it all. End. All lottery. Act they're and I think. It'll. Now. Or. Eight at that Brett. They eat and I'm not at that little. Eight. At court. And not that great and they cut. Come back and eat it and it copier like reading in the contract and that. A lot to do it at eight. And I'm not now I. Well. Actually popped it. I've. Actually it looked. At it and yes. Jerry. They are the and eat that I create. It period. It out and out now and all. That after a lot all of it well reported that. Oh yeah so the I I I wanna say this this is this is a situation that we see in the law firm ally that people do their research after the problem arises verses before the club and again I'm not I'm I'm I don't want listener. Now. What I'm saying is is that the effort and the time you put in to understanding what went on after the problem. Is what should happen before you hire these people. One of two. Choice of law and class action waivers are. Often typically contracts many different types of contracts. And you gotta be bound by that so. You're not going to be the suit uses necessarily. You certainly can't call the attorney general's office in Massachusetts as a consumer protection hotline number. Which you can call them you Google that its its available to anybody in the state. I think realistically. They're not going to chase moving company uses a loose that is the one at the U views. Through Washington State and one person. But having said that you should certainly at least at a minimum contact the attorney general in the state business which actually is is Merrill shared operative Merrill. Oh okay so do that there. His and 978 tax. My wife's family. Is very wealthy so I had to sign a pre nup I just found out. That she is cheating on me with the art landscaper. Does that. Kool Aid. Does that void at the pre nup so I am I am going to say yes. Now whether or not approve that the difference yes but that so that I could that could void the pre nup that this kind of conduct is an element of these things out accurately. It ought to a lot of screen apps actually have a clause in talks about infidelity. And yeah Cody cause now which. Look at you cheat on me than the green is invalid via. What if it doesn't have that I mean I think he still had an equitable argument unclean hands you know somebody that says hey. I'm gonna marry you you get any of my well but I'm gonna go screw around on your chance again that kind of doesn't feel right. Part of my rent includes two parking spaces however people are always parking in my spot and mightily in ward does nothing about it. Can I deduct rent for that. I I wouldn't deduct rent from that I think the better thing to do days. Maybe a start with the Euro letter and that doesn't works with a certified letter. The other thing you might want to think about is if it's other tennis that parking spot put him on notice that those a year spots and if there's ace in the reserves spots. I'm a lot of times you can tow. But if you tell somebody not supposed to tell you're going to be on the hook for the co payment. People saw the just put oil out there when I'm proud that I couldn't they couldn't get into it yes. It's 735. This is basket and Ernie wins in the house counsel area army junior and this is Bonnie on the framing him forward studio on what's up Bonnie. The question and that I couldn't hurt a little bit about another segment but I wanted to out so I married. And my height and. Bought the house that we both lives then before we were married. And also hold. Look at our vehicles are registered in his name and I was curious as to whether or not. If something ever happened to him or if we. Would ever be divorce. Would I have rights to those things. You what's great about this one she's not asking for. Usually we get the I've asked her crown but not enough. Now on is contemplating all kinds of options Celtic which is a funny it is yes well what a funny let's start with the obvious question that divorce to answer yeah it doesn't matter of Massachusetts whose name the cars or your house is that doesn't matter. Makes no difference doesn't matter what might make a difference is where the source of his down payment came from the home prior to the marriage what the value of the homeless on the in the marriage and equitable value is as it today okay for those things primary in the may matter in terms of what. Part of those things you get but in terms of title. Makes no difference for marriage she still gets half that Bonnie they'll get that doesn't matter whose name it's and I. OK to eat at 6 o'clock in the morning like I know I'm not I'm not planning to beat divorce that nobody is gonna. And eat the way yeah. I would don't have those rights even though like his parents actually help them out wouldn't don't payment so that's kind of you know I wouldn't wanna be without a home or something where ever happened to him. So bunny that is that little bit of a different question is a very simple solution for that one. Depending on how you have title to that property that is what's called tenants by the attired in Massachusetts. With a right of survivorship. Which means if you're married to somebody you can hold title to property as tenants in the entirety. Which means that that property or pass outside of the probate process to the last person that remains so he passes party of innings on that he didn't go directly to you. Otherwise you gotta make sure your husband has a well which leaves these things do you and then his parents have no sight I feel like bonnies husband might need of food taster. Yeah yeah I'm in the locker. Yet concerned about each of them children well man doing a previous deal cracked well what I'm divorcing after. He just might be. And this is Chris hello Chris. I question door yes Chris. Very IE I recently had assumed youth sports organization. Because they're mismanaged the foreign that we did them. And would look small claims or. Ed. I was open to negotiation to get over 100 the other part of refused negotiation. Than when we want when we left the city clerk. I was always awarded money. And apparently there is no appeal process for small planes and I just wondered how. Old are. You couldn't they need to partner pews negotiation all of our panel would be. A percentage or simple. So I was say this first of all there is an appeal. Or the defendant on small claims actions taken to the district court. When you choose to go to the small claims court though as a plane that you do not really have any anything you can do at that point in time with the judgment. I'll tell you this this falls under the category of splitting the baby. Go to small claims court you're never gonna walk away empty handed but you're never gonna walk away fully. Only compensated is my dad has watched Judge Judy and. And works they. What's the I have a tenant who said that they did not have children on a signed les they moved in and they have a daughter. And they're using one bedroom using a one bedroom as a two bedroom. In my able to break the lease with them. So you see that they didn't have kids on the police and signed it. Look I mean again yes you can OK can sue them and try to bury the least what you are heading into a very hostile territory. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is housing court and as a landlord you probably know that are ready and it's akin warms if the kids not doing anything wrong in outages. Can anybody write up a pre nup inhabit signed by both parties and have no motorized and we'll hold up or would you lawyer need to ride it up that's 50 wait that's all right so the short answer is anybody can write appropriate. The long answer is there's many technical requirements for pre nuptial agreement in this state. Or this commonwealth excuse me to be held. If that full full disclosure of auditor income assets liabilities has to be fair and reasonable at the time of the drafting and at the time of the separation. It's a very complicated thing and if you're getting a pre nuptial. I assume you have money that you're trying to protect spend three to seven grand on a lawyer and do the right way. I just 978 text or just left the job after six years. They did not pay me nine months of expenses such as mileage and phone reimbursement etc. And my entitled to this money under the Massachusetts wage act so if you. Put in reimbursements slips for these things in the with things that you were to be reimbursed from yes you definitely have a claim I would contact an attorney there is again is a lot of attorneys to specialize in in this current number one comment on whether or whatever you can call us at army approach you wrote okay and this is Johnny John what's up. They didn't connect and I'm very good morning good morning. Did you have another question on all my brother eat. He'd eat what I house with his girlfriend are probably around ten years ago. I'm and they have to get together a Big Ben actually and out of the pitchers you know ballot to elect. And that he was wondering if there was no way could get her name off. On the deet on. Without you want to sell the house in the future and the like ours that's something that you get to stick. So whose name is the house. And simple yeah and so I don't like very girl she wants after that. You know tap the equity. Coupons. You'll tap the payment to block. Well look at it like. That's after attorney it's does it always amazes me that the time slot Soviet. Will be backed card slot next week next Wednesday five it's that with our in house counsel army cute here. Of course the analyze. You your senior legal opinions. Shall we.
