Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is handle on the law, marginal legal advice where
I tell you you.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Have absolutely the case.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
As I have mentioned a little earlier, I'm going to
do this for several weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
If not months.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Is talk about the legal spins on the California wildfires.
And there were two particularly dangerous ones. Actually there were three,
but two were decimating. The one in Altadena, the Eaton
fire which killed seventeen people, and the Palisades fire that
was in Pacific Palisades. Ten thousand homes were destroyed and
(00:36):
businesses and how many twenty eight twenty nine people ended
up dying. It is. It was horrible and you can
imagine ten thousand businesses, homes.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Structures burnt to the ground.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, it didn't take long for the lawsuits to start
flying because one of the allegations of how it started
was a power line from pgn E Pacific Gaston Electric,
the power company that supplies power to that area. One
of their power lines fell because of the huge winds
and ignited the fire near the base of the power line.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And they've been nailed before. Pg and E.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
As a matter of fact, they were criminally charged for
what happened up north, where they also supply power and
pled guilty. Corporations are very rarely criminally charged. Corporations can
be held guilty of crimes. Now, does anybody go to jail?
Of course not because corporations can't go to jail, but PG,
and he's been and they had to pay billions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Same thing here.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So the lawsuits hit and the first thing that one
of the lawyers does on behalf of one of the victims,
and we don't even know the investigation isn't complete as
to what started it, who started it? Is asked for
a restraining order against Oh, this is Southern California Edison.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm sorry, not PG. Southern California.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Edison is down here in southern calif Oops, I don't
know how I conflated the two.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, because of the fires up north.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
In any case, a restraining order was asked for by
the lawyers representing a couple, a couple of victims, and
were they the restraining order asked Edison to preserve data, equipment,
and evidence related to the fire because there were going
(02:24):
and there are going to be lawsuits filed.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
And the judge said, yeah, you've got a temporary restraining order.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
No problem now, Here is the interesting part of this
is for some reason, the utility.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Fought the order.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I don't get it, saying, which is legitimate, we would
never destroy any evidence.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
If we're caught destroying or withholding or changing any of
the evidence that is going to be produced in this trial,
we're nailed. We are screwed, beyond screwed. So of course
we're never going to change it up. But they had
to be put on paper because if they do, not
only are they liable in terms of what the court wants,
(03:06):
but also they would be liable relating directly to a
court order.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
This is normal stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
What I don't get is why they even went to court,
because their argument is.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Of course we preserve it, then why fight it? Why
not just stipulate? Yeah, okay, fine, we're gonna do that. Anyway,
that's the part that I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
But anyway, as I said, we're going to be hearing
cases for weeks, not months, and probably years now. Obviously
I'm not going to talk about it as often as
I do now because the fires are so fresh. But
this is just a cluster truck beyond belief. What's going
on here now? The legal aspects. So I want to
correct myself again. This is southern California, Edison, not PG
(03:54):
and E. By the way, what I said about PG
and E is correct. All right, let's take a phone
call here before we take a break.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Madeline High, Madeline welcome. Yes, I have m uh.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I want to put my grandkids on the date of
my home instead of it a crust just because well,
so that's expensive and I just want to go to
the whole tustage.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Is that would they would it still have to go through.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Probate now if they're joint tenants a dozen't. But you know,
here's the problem. There is an issue of inheritance, not
inheritance tax. There's an issue of uh, the property being reassessed,
so you have so you have an issue of more
property taxes. And then you talk to your accountant because
there mayor they may very well be an issue of
(04:44):
just income gift tax. So you want to definitely deal
with that. Oh yeah, try that, Josie Hi, Josie welcome,
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I have an adjacent neighbor who claims the she has
an easement through my property. There's nothing on my deed
that says she that anybody has an easement through my property.
But she says she on her deed it does state
that she has an easement through my property.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Okay, well, okay, first of all, have you seen her deed?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
No, and I asked her for it and she hasn't
given it to me yet.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, you just simply say, before we do anything, let's
look at your deed where it shows an easement. And
if she doesn't give it to you or doesn't show
it to you, you say, why don't you just say
you own my property and show me where you have
the deed that says you actually own the property.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Well I don't. Actually, I'm not going to show it
to you. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's for starters. That is a red flag. Also, the
easement is from your property. You can have an easement
all day, say those people over there give me the right.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's your property that gives up the easement.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
If she is claiming that she has an easement on you,
then you have to show it because you grant the easement.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So she's blowing smoke, Josie.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Okay, well that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, you're right, you know, it's and good for calling.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
By the way, she's absolutely blowing smoke on this one.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
H Linda.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh you know what, Linda, since hold on one minute,
because what I want to say this that we are
going low on phone calls.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And you know what that means.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
God, I do this occasionally, and last few months have
been doing this more, maybe because it's the first of
the year and we slow down and then we speed
up Confebruary and March. So anyway, this is what we
do to get more phone calls.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You get to listen to this.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Baby Baby Shark.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Shark. We go for minutes and minutes on this one.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I think Jacob isn't the record on this like fifteen
minutes that we've actually listened to this. And people will
actually blow their brains out listening to this song. And
if you've ever had kids, which of course I do,
as you know, when they were younger, they would be
listening to this for lengths.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Of time and I would kill I would. I came
very close to killing myself. But finally, finally my kids
gave this up a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
They're twenty nine, by the way, and it it changed
my life dramatically. So do we keep what do we think?
Do we keep on going into a line or two
comes in, or we go forward. A couple of lines
are coming in, but you know, keep on listening for
a while.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
All right, let's do it more. Phone call, Hilanda, welcome,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I have a twenty seven year old so I know
that song.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Well good yes, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
So I have a question on what wrongful termination. I
was on disability SDI Medical League six months ago and
my doctor released me on the twenty seventh, which was
last Monday, So a month before I contacted my HR
department and said I'll be returning to work. They responded
and said, do you have any do you need some accommodations?
(08:32):
And I said remote work for a month and then
I'll be being in the office two days a week
and three days remote with the rest of the company.
It took a week and they said, congratulations, and this
is HR. Yes, we are going to do that for you.
So one work you'll be back on February twenty seventh.
So January twenty seventh, I was actually returning to work.
(08:53):
So January twenty seventh, I'm all excited, get dressed soon
on and everything, and I go on a zoom call
with my new boss, and of course hr Is on
the line and I went up, oh, and he said
that we eliminated your role and we no longer need you,
and we're going to get to give you this ministrial
package with no medical insurance by the way, And I
(09:15):
was wondering if I have any No, not really, if.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
They eliminated the role, there's not much you can do.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It really isn't because everybody when entire divisions are released.
For example, I work for iHeartMedia, and when they cut,
they have cut segments of certain sales segments or middle
management or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And companies do this all the time. They hire and
then when business.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Gets slow, they slow down and you're not individually being nailed.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But if they cut the job and it's legitimate, then
you've got a problem.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Now you can argue I was on disability, I was
on medical believe, and therefore you have to keep the
job open until I'm able to come back. But what
if it takes a year and there's nothing for you
to do because they've cut the job, and then and
then discrimination, wrongful discrimination cases.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Are real bear to begin with, they're really tough.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So yeah, I don't think there's much there, although it's
always uh, you know, I you know, it's my advice
is my advice.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And so you go to a.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Discrimination attorney, certainly an employment discrimination attorney, which I would
do because I never would believe what I have to say.
And I still am stunned by how people do. Mary,
there's a question, Yes, ma'am, Hi Bill, I have.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
To go to aaron Zona. I live in Los Angeles
to fight for a judgment that the judge awarded me
because of a divorced Okay, sixty eight thousand dollars, and
I had to sell a house in Arizona, which I
(11:06):
did and I didn't get much out of it. And
now the attorney that I contacted in Arizona asked me
if it was domesticated.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I told them I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
The attorney that was handling the case passed away this year.
So she wants to charge me. An attorney wants to
charge me two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Okay, you're talking the attorney attorney in Arizona wants to
charge you two thousand dollars to domesticate the judgment.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Correct, just to look at the files. Yeah, that's a
lot of money. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You need another attorney because when you talk about domesticating
a judgment, and that means you take a California judgment
and you turn it into an Arizona judgment or a
Colorado judgment, so you go ahead and attack assets or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
In that state.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You have a state judge, so you're going after assets
in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's harder to do with a California judgment.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
So you go in and you get an Arizona judgment
based on the California judgment.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's domestication. That's fairly easy to do.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You might even be able to do that on your own,
because that's just procedural. I mean, no one's going to
fight it, and it's just filling out the paperwork, and
some lawyer is going to fill out the paperwork and
make some bucks on this.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Go on the internet and see if you can do
it yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I've never done it, so I don't know, and I've
never domesticated a judgment, so I don't know. But see
if you can do that, and you know, I don't know.
It's two thousand bucks just to look at a file.
Domesticating a judgment does that include any collection or just
domesticating the judgment?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, you want to, okay, so slow down and look
on the internet and see if you can do it
on your own. That's what I would do first, and
then start shopping around for a lawyer and going, wait
a minute, really, two thousand dollars all right? Let me
talk about your bad breath, which is no fun or
even worse someone else's bad breath breathing on you. Well,
(13:10):
if you want to do something about it, and most
people do, let me suggest Zelman's Minty Mouth mints. These
are people who created a X element. I've known for
thirty years, so I have no problem recommending them their product.
And it's called a mint, but it's way more than
just a mint. It's a little capsule. You pop two
or three in your mouth. There's a there is a
(13:32):
minty coating, and when that has gone you either swallow
or bite into. The capsule gets to work inside your
stomach and your gut, and you'd be amazed how much
bad breath starts there and stays there Garlic onions. Even
by the way, this has been clinically tested against garlic
and onions. It does a job that no other mint
(13:52):
does at all, and it's well, it's worth not only
looking into. It's worth biting into. So here is is
the offer until the end of February. If you order
a three pack or more, you are going to get fifteen.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Percent off eight straight off.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You'll put codes or anything, just a fifteen percent discount
automatically and that's pretty healthy. So go to Zelmans dot com,
slash kfi, z E L M I N S slash
dot com, slash kfi, Zelmans dot com slash kfi.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Hello, Mohammed, welcome, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Do they call you MO for short?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
No?
Speaker 7 (14:36):
No, no, I would rather call you Muhammad.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
It's because every Mohammad I've ever met it's MO.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I don't know why. But okay, so you're Mohammed Mohamed. Okay, Mohammed,
got it?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Almost a year ago, not almost a year and one
month ago, January twenty twenty four, I had a honititach. Sorry.
They took me to the as they were gonna put
a stempt in my heart. In the process of doing
so exactively in my right hand, and they've blogging into
my hand, and I had the compression syndrome that they
(15:12):
had to cut my hand open about sixteen centimes to
let the pressure go after that. No, my right hand
is out of commission. My two fingers are normal.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Wow, Okay, yeah, that sounds pretty serious, Mohammad.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I can use my Yeah, No, I get it, I
get it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's that seems a pretty serious potential medical malpractice case.
So right off the bat, medical malpractice. And it's a
major case. Whether it's there negligent or not, I don't know.
Uh do A certain percentage of these happen anyway, And
it's not negligence. It's just the way your body reacts.
(15:54):
I have no idea, but it doesn't matter. The damages
are big enough.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Is this your right hand or left hand?
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Right hand? I'm right handed person, Oh, you're.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Right handed and your left hand? Wow?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
So so when you when you have sex, do you
use your left or right hand? When you sort of
you know, wake up in the morning and you decided
you're feeling pretty frisky.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, okay, got it.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
But I'm guessing if you're right handed Mohammed, it's yeah,
we don't have to go into that.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's a little bit personal.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Fair enough, being right handed and have that that makes
your damages even worse.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
By the way, if your damages, let's say, are one
hundred percent right, that would be equivalent to one hundred
and twenty percent because being right handed. As much as
I joke around with that, that's pretty serious. So I'm
going to suggest you call a medical malpractice attorney. If
you don't know one, then you can go to handle
on the law dot com where we have personal injury lawyers,
(16:55):
and part of that is medical malpractice.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
These lawyers attached.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So again, go to handle on the law dot com
and Muhammed, I think you have a case, I really do.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Okay, okay, all right, do you have a number or something?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
No, just it's just a website. It's just a website
handle on the Law dot com. So that's pretty serious
when that happens. And by the way, I should have
used the hitchhiking analogy because that doesn't offend people what
I just did, does.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Brian, Hi, Brian welcome, Hi, Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Bill.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Sure, I have a quick question.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I'm wondering if there are lawyers that will actually do
countersuits on contingency.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
So what happened? Tell me about the case.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
My son got in a fight. It's an ongoing lawsuit
for about five years him and three other defendants. Actually
the other three weren't involved, but there was no charges.
The other person was the aggressor, started the fight, had
had a weapon the whole thing. Unfortunately, my son did
more damnage with his fist to the other boy. Uh So,
(18:03):
but my son's been battling this for five years.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay, And so let me ask you who's the counter
Who's who's he countersuing.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
The person who is suing him?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Okay, So how much money you think? How much money
do you think that's worth?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Well, he just wants I assume my son just wants
all his lawyer fees back.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Okay, So you.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Hire a lawyer, and uh the lawsuit is to get
all the lawyer's fees back that he has spent.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
How does the lawyer who files the lawsuit on his
behalf make any money.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
All of his fees, what any fees that he would have.
I would assume he would make that back as well.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
And you're again, there isn't a lawyer on the planet
that would take that. On contingency okay, yeah, so the
answer is no.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
On that contingency is when a lawyer is anticipation of
making money personal injury medical malpractice is one where the
damn are pretty high. Sometimes business lawsuits where you're going
for big money and a lawyer will take that on
continuency and maybe a hybrid contingency and a percentage.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Bruce high Broce, Hello Vail. Yeah, uh, this is not
going well. We're not a good start here, Bruce, Yes,
go ahead, yeah, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (19:31):
I'm a judgment creditor, Okay, my roommate, and we are
in a period of appeal for thirty days on the
judgment by her.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
She hasn't appealed it, and I've got a rent coming
up in February.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, Okay, is she still there?
Speaker 8 (19:55):
She's still there?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Okay. And this is a roommate. Do you own the property?
Speaker 8 (20:01):
We are roommates.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh so you both pay rent?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
We both say, all right, and you sued and you
sued her, and you got a judgment, right, got it?
Got it?
Speaker 10 (20:12):
Okay, got eight months and now January and February.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
She hasn't paid me yet.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Uh, we've got as you're no judgment period to appeal
this thirty days.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Right, and she's gone past that, right, she has not
passed that yet. Oh, then she has thirty days. Okay,
so what's your question?
Speaker 8 (20:36):
Okay, my question is will I be able to sue
her for the January?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You can sew her for every month. You can sue her. Uh,
every month she breaches the contract. But she's not going
to pay you. Does she have assets?
Speaker 8 (20:55):
She has a bank account?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Well, good luck, good luck, because if you she switches
the bank, she switches banks, you're screwed.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
Uh, how do I get a bill? Although we both
are both names are.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
On this Yeah, yes, it's yeah, you're you. You picked
the wrong person to have a bank.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Yeah, there is no actual lease. We are both in
this system.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, you're both liable. There was never a lease. It
was always a month to month.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
Well it's been a month to month. It's a new
new owner.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
It doesn't matter. That doesn't matter, that doesn't matter. Okay,
here's what you have. Okay, But what ended up happening
is the lease is over? Or did you come in
on month to month? Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Over?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Okay, so you came in on a lease. You're not
making this easy, bruise.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You came in on a lease, the lease expired, you're
now month to month and I'm willing to bet that
on that leasely that you had joint and severable severable liability,
which means if one doesn't pay, the other one has
to pay the whole amount. So if you don't pay
the entire rent, you're gonna be evicted.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
They're gonna throw you out.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Okay, what if I pay my share.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You're not paying the you are liable for the entire amount.
Yes that yes, yes, but she's gone, she's.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I understand, but you have to sue her. Then you've
got a problem on your hands. Now. Can you make
a move to a victor. Maybe, but it's the landlord
that evicts her.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
So I'm gonna sug Yes, you call a landlord tenant
attorney and figure this out.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Because those are the worst cases in the world.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Where you both sign, one party says no, I'm not paying,
you sign something called a and this is every least
joint severability or joint liability where it is yes word
joint liability where if both of you owe, so if
one defaults, the other one has to pay the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And that is no fund at all.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Be really careful about roommates, you know that's it. So
let me tell you about your pain. Do you hurt
and not hurt because you're listening to this phone call?
I mean chronic forever physical pain twenty four to seven.
Let me suggest a podcast called The Pain Game Podcast.
It's about people who have lived with, guests with, lived with,
dealt with, treated, people with pain trauma. And the host,
(23:35):
Lindsay Soprano, who I know very well, suffers from chronic
pain and she's there to help people.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
That's what she's about.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Every episode ends with a message of hope, not just
you're miserable. If it were me, I tell you you're miserable,
you might as well kill yourself now.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
But she doesn't do that.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
She has you figure out why and gives you a
hopeful message.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
It's pretty important stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You can listen to The Pain Game Podcast anywhere you
listen to podcasts.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The Pain Game Podcast. David, welcome, Hi, good morning, Yes sir,
so yeah.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
Mom purchased an emotional support animal for our son during
a divorce. Our son has anxiety disorder. She obtained letters
from our son's doctor to present to her landlord, stating
that he needs this animal. Mom is now refusing to
send the dog on parenting time and stating it to
her dog, her personal dog. Do I have any legal recourse?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah? That one gets interesting. So what ends up happening.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Whenever there's an issue of custody divorce dealing with children,
it's not the interests of the parent that's involved. Okay,
the court looks at the interests of the child, and
so all things being equal, parents get joined custody. And
I'm assuming that's in your case, right, You and the
(25:00):
mom have joined custody of the child.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Is that correct?
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Okay, that happens typically.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Now, the reason one parent gets custody over the other
parent usually is let's say they're young, or a kid
is in one school and to go to the other
parent has to be gone to three days a week,
and of course the court will never let that happen.
So typically it will be okay, one parent gets a
kid for five days for school, and the other parent
(25:27):
gets weekends and holidays.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It's all, it's all for the interest of the kid.
Now you have a.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Situation in which the kid has an emotional support animal,
and the court is going to go this kid needs
the support animal, not mom, not dad. The dog follows
the kid. So the answer is yes, you go to
court now.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Who has the case.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The child has the case, and so so the kid
is I'm just guessing now because I've never done one
of these, but give you the basics of the law.
My guess is the kid has to have a guardian
ad litem to go into court and actually sue for
the dog to be with the child.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Now, can a parent do that? Probably, And I'll tell
you what a judge is gonna do. The dog is
gonna go with the kid.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And your and your ex is a real sleezball for
doing that. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You know, because when the child is with you, what
does the mother do keep the dog? Yeah, she keeps
the dog and refuses to have the child have the
dog when the kids with you?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Right, that is correct?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Hmm. You play baseball? You play baseball or softball?
Speaker 9 (26:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Okay, good, you have a baseball bat?
Speaker 9 (26:54):
I can get one.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, I consider that. I consider the baseball back to
where appreciate it?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, yeah, but it's gonna the court will instantly grant
it and probably grant attorney's fees too, because that's such
a Slee's ball thing that your ex is doing.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
Okay, thank you, I appreciate.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Right, you got it?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, it's a court's. I mean, how do you do that.
Let's legally it's a it's to me, it's a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
But how do you if a kid has an emotional
support animal, how do you say, I'm not going to
let that propotional emotional support animal follow the kid. Ah
all right, Uh, let me tell you about your bad breath.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Horrible? Right, wake up in the morning and I do,
and I.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Know, brushing my teeth, and I actually see the mirror
starts waving.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
So you know, what do I do?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I brush my teeth, feel pretty good for a while,
and then you go through the rest of the day
and I eat garlic and onions, and you know, bad
breath happens. Well, let me tell you about Zelman's Minty
Mouth Min's because this is way more than the men. Now,
you can take a mint and it feels pretty good
for a bit and then it disappears. What Zelmans does
is it has a minty coating. It's these parsley seed
oil tablets and the mint part you suck on and
(28:09):
then when that part is gone, you swallow it or
you bite into it, and then the parsley seed oil
gets to work in your gut where bad breath can
start stay there and there no mint in the world's
going to deal with that, but Zelman's minty mouth min's do.
And here is the offer from Zelosman Zelmans until the
end of the month. You buy a three pack or more,
(28:31):
it's a fifteen percent.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Discount right off the bat.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You don't put in code earning it's a fifteen percent discount.
Zelmans dot com slash kfi, Zelman's Z E L M

Speaker 2 (28:47):
This is handle on the law
This is handle on the law, marginal legal advice where
I tell you you.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Have absolutely the case.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
As I have mentioned a little earlier, I'm going to
do this for several weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
If not months.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Is talk about the legal spins on the California wildfires.
And there were two particularly dangerous ones. Actually there were three,
but two were decimating. The one in Altadena, the Eaton
fire which killed seventeen people, and the Palisades fire that
was in Pacific Palisades. Ten thousand homes were destroyed and
(00:36):
businesses and how many twenty eight twenty nine people ended
up dying. It is. It was horrible and you can
imagine ten thousand businesses, homes.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Structures burnt to the ground.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, it didn't take long for the lawsuits to start
flying because one of the allegations of how it started
was a power line from pgn E Pacific Gaston Electric,
the power company that supplies power to that area. One
of their power lines fell because of the huge winds
and ignited the fire near the base of the power line.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And they've been nailed before. Pg and E.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
As a matter of fact, they were criminally charged for
what happened up north, where they also supply power and
pled guilty. Corporations are very rarely criminally charged. Corporations can
be held guilty of crimes. Now, does anybody go to jail?
Of course not because corporations can't go to jail, but PG,
and he's been and they had to pay billions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Same thing here.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So the lawsuits hit and the first thing that one
of the lawyers does on behalf of one of the victims,
and we don't even know the investigation isn't complete as
to what started it, who started it? Is asked for
a restraining order against Oh, this is Southern California Edison.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm sorry, not PG. Southern California.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Edison is down here in southern calif Oops, I don't
know how I conflated the two.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, because of the fires up north.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
In any case, a restraining order was asked for by
the lawyers representing a couple, a couple of victims, and
were they the restraining order asked Edison to preserve data, equipment,
and evidence related to the fire because there were going
(02:24):
and there are going to be lawsuits filed.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
And the judge said, yeah, you've got a temporary restraining order.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
No problem now, Here is the interesting part of this
is for some reason, the utility.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Fought the order.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I don't get it, saying, which is legitimate, we would
never destroy any evidence.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
If we're caught destroying or withholding or changing any of
the evidence that is going to be produced in this trial,
we're nailed. We are screwed, beyond screwed. So of course
we're never going to change it up. But they had
to be put on paper because if they do, not
only are they liable in terms of what the court wants,
(03:06):
but also they would be liable relating directly to a
court order.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
This is normal stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
What I don't get is why they even went to court,
because their argument is.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Of course we preserve it, then why fight it? Why
not just stipulate? Yeah, okay, fine, we're gonna do that. Anyway,
that's the part that I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
But anyway, as I said, we're going to be hearing
cases for weeks, not months, and probably years now. Obviously
I'm not going to talk about it as often as
I do now because the fires are so fresh. But
this is just a cluster truck beyond belief. What's going
on here now? The legal aspects. So I want to
correct myself again. This is southern California, Edison, not PG
(03:54):
and E. By the way, what I said about PG
and E is correct. All right, let's take a phone
call here before we take a break.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Madeline High, Madeline welcome. Yes, I have m uh.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I want to put my grandkids on the date of
my home instead of it a crust just because well,
so that's expensive and I just want to go to
the whole tustage.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Is that would they would it still have to go through.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Probate now if they're joint tenants a dozen't. But you know,
here's the problem. There is an issue of inheritance, not
inheritance tax. There's an issue of uh, the property being reassessed,
so you have so you have an issue of more
property taxes. And then you talk to your accountant because
there mayor they may very well be an issue of
(04:44):
just income gift tax. So you want to definitely deal
with that. Oh yeah, try that, Josie Hi, Josie welcome,
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I have an adjacent neighbor who claims the she has
an easement through my property. There's nothing on my deed
that says she that anybody has an easement through my property.
But she says she on her deed it does state
that she has an easement through my property.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Okay, well, okay, first of all, have you seen her deed?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
No, and I asked her for it and she hasn't
given it to me yet.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, you just simply say, before we do anything, let's
look at your deed where it shows an easement. And
if she doesn't give it to you or doesn't show
it to you, you say, why don't you just say
you own my property and show me where you have
the deed that says you actually own the property.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Well I don't. Actually, I'm not going to show it
to you. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's for starters. That is a red flag. Also, the
easement is from your property. You can have an easement
all day, say those people over there give me the right.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's your property that gives up the easement.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
If she is claiming that she has an easement on you,
then you have to show it because you grant the easement.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So she's blowing smoke, Josie.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Okay, well that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, you're right, you know, it's and good for calling.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
By the way, she's absolutely blowing smoke on this one.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
H Linda.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh you know what, Linda, since hold on one minute,
because what I want to say this that we are
going low on phone calls.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And you know what that means.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
God, I do this occasionally, and last few months have
been doing this more, maybe because it's the first of
the year and we slow down and then we speed
up Confebruary and March. So anyway, this is what we
do to get more phone calls.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You get to listen to this.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Baby Baby Shark.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Shark. We go for minutes and minutes on this one.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I think Jacob isn't the record on this like fifteen
minutes that we've actually listened to this. And people will
actually blow their brains out listening to this song. And
if you've ever had kids, which of course I do,
as you know, when they were younger, they would be
listening to this for lengths.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Of time and I would kill I would. I came
very close to killing myself. But finally, finally my kids
gave this up a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
They're twenty nine, by the way, and it it changed
my life dramatically. So do we keep what do we think?
Do we keep on going into a line or two
comes in, or we go forward. A couple of lines
are coming in, but you know, keep on listening for
a while.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
All right, let's do it more. Phone call, Hilanda, welcome,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I have a twenty seven year old so I know
that song.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Well good yes, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
So I have a question on what wrongful termination. I
was on disability SDI Medical League six months ago and
my doctor released me on the twenty seventh, which was
last Monday, So a month before I contacted my HR
department and said I'll be returning to work. They responded
and said, do you have any do you need some accommodations?
(08:32):
And I said remote work for a month and then
I'll be being in the office two days a week
and three days remote with the rest of the company.
It took a week and they said, congratulations, and this
is HR. Yes, we are going to do that for you.
So one work you'll be back on February twenty seventh.
So January twenty seventh, I was actually returning to work.
(08:53):
So January twenty seventh, I'm all excited, get dressed soon
on and everything, and I go on a zoom call
with my new boss, and of course hr Is on
the line and I went up, oh, and he said
that we eliminated your role and we no longer need you,
and we're going to get to give you this ministrial
package with no medical insurance by the way, And I
(09:15):
was wondering if I have any No, not really, if.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
They eliminated the role, there's not much you can do.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It really isn't because everybody when entire divisions are released.
For example, I work for iHeartMedia, and when they cut,
they have cut segments of certain sales segments or middle
management or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And companies do this all the time. They hire and
then when business.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Gets slow, they slow down and you're not individually being nailed.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But if they cut the job and it's legitimate, then
you've got a problem.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Now you can argue I was on disability, I was
on medical believe, and therefore you have to keep the
job open until I'm able to come back. But what
if it takes a year and there's nothing for you
to do because they've cut the job, and then and
then discrimination, wrongful discrimination cases.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Are real bear to begin with, they're really tough.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
So yeah, I don't think there's much there, although it's
always uh, you know, I you know, it's my advice
is my advice.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And so you go to a.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Discrimination attorney, certainly an employment discrimination attorney, which I would
do because I never would believe what I have to say.
And I still am stunned by how people do. Mary,
there's a question, Yes, ma'am, Hi Bill, I have.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
To go to aaron Zona. I live in Los Angeles
to fight for a judgment that the judge awarded me
because of a divorced Okay, sixty eight thousand dollars, and
I had to sell a house in Arizona, which I
(11:06):
did and I didn't get much out of it. And
now the attorney that I contacted in Arizona asked me
if it was domesticated.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I told them I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
The attorney that was handling the case passed away this year.
So she wants to charge me. An attorney wants to
charge me two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Okay, you're talking the attorney attorney in Arizona wants to
charge you two thousand dollars to domesticate the judgment.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Correct, just to look at the files. Yeah, that's a
lot of money. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You need another attorney because when you talk about domesticating
a judgment, and that means you take a California judgment
and you turn it into an Arizona judgment or a
Colorado judgment, so you go ahead and attack assets or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
In that state.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You have a state judge, so you're going after assets
in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's harder to do with a California judgment.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
So you go in and you get an Arizona judgment
based on the California judgment.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's domestication. That's fairly easy to do.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You might even be able to do that on your own,
because that's just procedural. I mean, no one's going to
fight it, and it's just filling out the paperwork, and
some lawyer is going to fill out the paperwork and
make some bucks on this.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Go on the internet and see if you can do
it yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I've never done it, so I don't know, and I've
never domesticated a judgment, so I don't know. But see
if you can do that, and you know, I don't know.
It's two thousand bucks just to look at a file.
Domesticating a judgment does that include any collection or just
domesticating the judgment?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, you want to, okay, so slow down and look
on the internet and see if you can do it
on your own. That's what I would do first, and
then start shopping around for a lawyer and going, wait
a minute, really, two thousand dollars all right? Let me
talk about your bad breath, which is no fun or
even worse someone else's bad breath breathing on you. Well,
(13:10):
if you want to do something about it, and most
people do, let me suggest Zelman's Minty Mouth mints. These
are people who created a X element. I've known for
thirty years, so I have no problem recommending them their product.
And it's called a mint, but it's way more than
just a mint. It's a little capsule. You pop two
or three in your mouth. There's a there is a
(13:32):
minty coating, and when that has gone you either swallow
or bite into. The capsule gets to work inside your
stomach and your gut, and you'd be amazed how much
bad breath starts there and stays there Garlic onions. Even
by the way, this has been clinically tested against garlic
and onions. It does a job that no other mint
(13:52):
does at all, and it's well, it's worth not only
looking into. It's worth biting into. So here is is
the offer until the end of February. If you order
a three pack or more, you are going to get fifteen.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Percent off eight straight off.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You'll put codes or anything, just a fifteen percent discount
automatically and that's pretty healthy. So go to Zelmans dot com,
slash kfi, z E L M I N S slash
dot com, slash kfi, Zelmans dot com slash kfi.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Hello, Mohammed, welcome, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Do they call you MO for short?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
No?
Speaker 7 (14:36):
No, no, I would rather call you Muhammad.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
It's because every Mohammad I've ever met it's MO.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I don't know why. But okay, so you're Mohammed Mohamed. Okay, Mohammed,
got it?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Almost a year ago, not almost a year and one
month ago, January twenty twenty four, I had a honititach. Sorry.
They took me to the as they were gonna put
a stempt in my heart. In the process of doing
so exactively in my right hand, and they've blogging into
my hand, and I had the compression syndrome that they
(15:12):
had to cut my hand open about sixteen centimes to
let the pressure go after that. No, my right hand
is out of commission. My two fingers are normal.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Wow, Okay, yeah, that sounds pretty serious, Mohammad.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I can use my Yeah, No, I get it, I
get it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's that seems a pretty serious potential medical malpractice case.
So right off the bat, medical malpractice. And it's a
major case. Whether it's there negligent or not, I don't know.
Uh do A certain percentage of these happen anyway, And
it's not negligence. It's just the way your body reacts.
(15:54):
I have no idea, but it doesn't matter. The damages
are big enough.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Is this your right hand or left hand?
Speaker 7 (16:02):
Right hand? I'm right handed person, Oh, you're.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Right handed and your left hand? Wow?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
So so when you when you have sex, do you
use your left or right hand? When you sort of
you know, wake up in the morning and you decided
you're feeling pretty frisky.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, okay, got it.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
But I'm guessing if you're right handed Mohammed, it's yeah,
we don't have to go into that.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's a little bit personal.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Fair enough, being right handed and have that that makes
your damages even worse.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
By the way, if your damages, let's say, are one
hundred percent right, that would be equivalent to one hundred
and twenty percent because being right handed. As much as
I joke around with that, that's pretty serious. So I'm
going to suggest you call a medical malpractice attorney. If
you don't know one, then you can go to handle
on the law dot com where we have personal injury lawyers,
(16:55):
and part of that is medical malpractice.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
These lawyers attached.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So again, go to handle on the law dot com
and Muhammed, I think you have a case, I really do.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Okay, okay, all right, do you have a number or something?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
No, just it's just a website. It's just a website
handle on the Law dot com. So that's pretty serious
when that happens. And by the way, I should have
used the hitchhiking analogy because that doesn't offend people what
I just did, does.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Brian, Hi, Brian welcome, Hi, Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Bill.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Sure, I have a quick question.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I'm wondering if there are lawyers that will actually do
countersuits on contingency.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
So what happened? Tell me about the case.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
My son got in a fight. It's an ongoing lawsuit
for about five years him and three other defendants. Actually
the other three weren't involved, but there was no charges.
The other person was the aggressor, started the fight, had
had a weapon the whole thing. Unfortunately, my son did
more damnage with his fist to the other boy. Uh So,
(18:03):
but my son's been battling this for five years.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay, And so let me ask you who's the counter
Who's who's he countersuing.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
The person who is suing him?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Okay, So how much money you think? How much money
do you think that's worth?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Well, he just wants I assume my son just wants
all his lawyer fees back.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Okay, So you.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Hire a lawyer, and uh the lawsuit is to get
all the lawyer's fees back that he has spent.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
How does the lawyer who files the lawsuit on his
behalf make any money.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
All of his fees, what any fees that he would have.
I would assume he would make that back as well.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
And you're again, there isn't a lawyer on the planet
that would take that. On contingency okay, yeah, so the
answer is no.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
On that contingency is when a lawyer is anticipation of
making money personal injury medical malpractice is one where the
damn are pretty high. Sometimes business lawsuits where you're going
for big money and a lawyer will take that on
continuency and maybe a hybrid contingency and a percentage.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Bruce high Broce, Hello Vail. Yeah, uh, this is not
going well. We're not a good start here, Bruce, Yes,
go ahead, yeah, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (19:31):
I'm a judgment creditor, Okay, my roommate, and we are
in a period of appeal for thirty days on the
judgment by her.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
She hasn't appealed it, and I've got a rent coming
up in February.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, Okay, is she still there?
Speaker 8 (19:55):
She's still there?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Okay. And this is a roommate. Do you own the property?
Speaker 8 (20:01):
We are roommates.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh so you both pay rent?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
We both say, all right, and you sued and you
sued her, and you got a judgment, right, got it?
Got it?
Speaker 10 (20:12):
Okay, got eight months and now January and February.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
She hasn't paid me yet.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Uh, we've got as you're no judgment period to appeal
this thirty days.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Right, and she's gone past that, right, she has not
passed that yet. Oh, then she has thirty days. Okay,
so what's your question?
Speaker 8 (20:36):
Okay, my question is will I be able to sue
her for the January?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You can sew her for every month. You can sue her. Uh,
every month she breaches the contract. But she's not going
to pay you. Does she have assets?
Speaker 8 (20:55):
She has a bank account?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Well, good luck, good luck, because if you she switches
the bank, she switches banks, you're screwed.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
Uh, how do I get a bill? Although we both
are both names are.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
On this Yeah, yes, it's yeah, you're you. You picked
the wrong person to have a bank.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Yeah, there is no actual lease. We are both in
this system.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, you're both liable. There was never a lease. It
was always a month to month.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
Well it's been a month to month. It's a new
new owner.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
It doesn't matter. That doesn't matter, that doesn't matter. Okay,
here's what you have. Okay, But what ended up happening
is the lease is over? Or did you come in
on month to month? Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Over?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Okay, so you came in on a lease. You're not
making this easy, bruise.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You came in on a lease, the lease expired, you're
now month to month and I'm willing to bet that
on that leasely that you had joint and severable severable liability,
which means if one doesn't pay, the other one has
to pay the whole amount. So if you don't pay
the entire rent, you're gonna be evicted.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
They're gonna throw you out.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Okay, what if I pay my share.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You're not paying the you are liable for the entire amount.
Yes that yes, yes, but she's gone, she's.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I understand, but you have to sue her. Then you've
got a problem on your hands. Now. Can you make
a move to a victor. Maybe, but it's the landlord
that evicts her.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
So I'm gonna sug Yes, you call a landlord tenant
attorney and figure this out.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Because those are the worst cases in the world.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Where you both sign, one party says no, I'm not paying,
you sign something called a and this is every least
joint severability or joint liability where it is yes word
joint liability where if both of you owe, so if
one defaults, the other one has to pay the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And that is no fund at all.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Be really careful about roommates, you know that's it. So
let me tell you about your pain. Do you hurt
and not hurt because you're listening to this phone call?
I mean chronic forever physical pain twenty four to seven.
Let me suggest a podcast called The Pain Game Podcast.
It's about people who have lived with, guests with, lived with,
dealt with, treated, people with pain trauma. And the host,
(23:35):
Lindsay Soprano, who I know very well, suffers from chronic
pain and she's there to help people.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
That's what she's about.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Every episode ends with a message of hope, not just
you're miserable. If it were me, I tell you you're miserable,
you might as well kill yourself now.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
But she doesn't do that.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
She has you figure out why and gives you a
hopeful message.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
It's pretty important stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You can listen to The Pain Game Podcast anywhere you
listen to podcasts.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The Pain Game Podcast. David, welcome, Hi, good morning, Yes sir,
so yeah.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
Mom purchased an emotional support animal for our son during
a divorce. Our son has anxiety disorder. She obtained letters
from our son's doctor to present to her landlord, stating
that he needs this animal. Mom is now refusing to
send the dog on parenting time and stating it to
her dog, her personal dog. Do I have any legal recourse?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah? That one gets interesting. So what ends up happening.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Whenever there's an issue of custody divorce dealing with children,
it's not the interests of the parent that's involved. Okay,
the court looks at the interests of the child, and
so all things being equal, parents get joined custody. And
I'm assuming that's in your case, right, You and the
(25:00):
mom have joined custody of the child.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Is that correct?
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Okay, that happens typically.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Now, the reason one parent gets custody over the other
parent usually is let's say they're young, or a kid
is in one school and to go to the other
parent has to be gone to three days a week,
and of course the court will never let that happen.
So typically it will be okay, one parent gets a
kid for five days for school, and the other parent
(25:27):
gets weekends and holidays.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It's all, it's all for the interest of the kid.
Now you have a.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Situation in which the kid has an emotional support animal,
and the court is going to go this kid needs
the support animal, not mom, not dad. The dog follows
the kid. So the answer is yes, you go to
court now.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Who has the case.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The child has the case, and so so the kid
is I'm just guessing now because I've never done one
of these, but give you the basics of the law.
My guess is the kid has to have a guardian
ad litem to go into court and actually sue for
the dog to be with the child.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Now, can a parent do that? Probably, And I'll tell
you what a judge is gonna do. The dog is
gonna go with the kid.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And your and your ex is a real sleezball for
doing that. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You know, because when the child is with you, what
does the mother do keep the dog? Yeah, she keeps
the dog and refuses to have the child have the
dog when the kids with you?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Right, that is correct?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Hmm. You play baseball? You play baseball or softball?
Speaker 9 (26:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Okay, good, you have a baseball bat?
Speaker 9 (26:54):
I can get one.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, I consider that. I consider the baseball back to
where appreciate it?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, yeah, but it's gonna the court will instantly grant
it and probably grant attorney's fees too, because that's such
a Slee's ball thing that your ex is doing.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
Okay, thank you, I appreciate.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Right, you got it?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, it's a court's. I mean, how do you do that.
Let's legally it's a it's to me, it's a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
But how do you if a kid has an emotional
support animal, how do you say, I'm not going to
let that propotional emotional support animal follow the kid. Ah
all right, Uh, let me tell you about your bad breath.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Horrible? Right, wake up in the morning and I do,
and I.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Know, brushing my teeth, and I actually see the mirror
starts waving.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
So you know, what do I do?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I brush my teeth, feel pretty good for a while,
and then you go through the rest of the day
and I eat garlic and onions, and you know, bad
breath happens. Well, let me tell you about Zelman's Minty
Mouth Min's because this is way more than the men. Now,
you can take a mint and it feels pretty good
for a bit and then it disappears. What Zelmans does
is it has a minty coating. It's these parsley seed
oil tablets and the mint part you suck on and
(28:09):
then when that part is gone, you swallow it or
you bite into it, and then the parsley seed oil
gets to work in your gut where bad breath can
start stay there and there no mint in the world's
going to deal with that, but Zelman's minty mouth min's do.
