I was hoping for a link, a list of rights (law) so I could study & mull over them. I guess I'm forced to try to get legal help with this. But, I do not want to make the kids suffer so I've done the...

I don't have my own attorney. The kids have an appointed attorney (which seems to be no help) and the parents have a hired attorney (which I don't know how they afford).

I'm a little confused...

I'm hopeful that I can get something from the attorney or judge working on our adoption that will provide the information for a letter of innocence. I'm not sure how to proceed and may wait until...

I stand corrected. I found ONE used (wrong color) on eBay & it's $130 starting bid: Grohe Ladylux Kitchen Faucet - eBay (item 330306723796 end time Feb-14-09 03:54:38 PST)

So, most definitely,...

Are you kidding me? You can't buy this faucet for $20 anywhere. The cost of the handle is probably cheaper then a used one - IF you can find one. Even on eBay, the cost of a new one is $400 and...

I spoke to the attorney many months ago. But, they don't even speak in court. I wonder why they are there. They don't seem to care at all.

Well, this case is a little different. I find out what's going on with the parents BEFORE DHS knows. Why? Because these parents are my first cousin & his wife. I know they have been evicted 4...

Here in OK, it appears that our system can keep any information from you that they want. I have been told over & over that certain records cannot be released to us! This includes all background...

It's $82 just to replace the handle! Grohe 46309KK0 Lever Handle - Guillen Enterprises
Okay, a slightly cheaper handle - yea! $53...

Okay, I'll discuss it with my husband. I know it was purposeful damage due to a discussion we had with them on the night we argued. I'll discuss whether to take it as a loss or have it fixed and...

I don't think that is normal wear & tear. We lived there 5 years and the condition of the faucet was still in top shape (not a chip). They lived there less then 3 months. You don't get that in 3...

I don't completely trust the child's social worker. She isn't working with us as a team. I feel left out of the team. We are in a different county then the parents so we have a secondary worker...

Well, we are in the middle of a private adoption and this is how we found out this was such a problem. Our social worker who did our private home study found this on our background. All it says is...

I also wonder how to access for damages. For instance, in the kitchen, there is cosmetic damage to the faucet along with finger nail polish on the tile/grout/cabinets/counter there. There is also a...

I honestly don't think you want to go into foster care. You go from one situation out of your control to another situation out of your control AND you have no idea what these people will be about. ...

I'm not talking about the Bill of Rights or Summary of Foster parents rights they give you online: OKDHS.org - Foster Care: Summary of Foster Parents Rights & Responsibilities

Do foster parents...

I'm completely frustrated. In 2004 we had a referral made about one of our foster children. This child's problem was a problem he came into our home with. Our caseworker knew about it as well and...

You may be right! I agree that the deposit is probably too low. I'll talk to my husband about it. We do not rent it furnished.

Thanks! Here's the listing... UPDATE: BERRYHILL, 2700 SF 4/2/2 w/ Study, Backs to Greenbelt

Will do! I also wonder how to access for damages. For instance, in the kitchen, there is cosmetic damage to the faucet along with finger nail polish on the tile/grout/cabinets/counter there. There...

I did change the locks. However, the locksmith came when the tenants were there with a big truck. We didn't lock them out, but allowed them to continue to get their stuff out. I knew there was no...

Hmmmm... I'm still working on this to find out! I'll let you know, but I have the locksmith scheduled for 2p. I went by the house again and it was dark. Trash container still at the street. They...

Today they had the water turned off and the trash container is still sitting by the street after yesterday's trash (they set the trash out Tuesday when they picked up their dog). It is obvious they...

Okay, great!

Thanks, sorry!

We've done nothing with it except reshape the hillside when we build the house & sod part ot it & maintain it.

I don't know about the taxes. It would seem pointless to own this wouldn't it? ...

Okay. Well, I could try to contact the owner & buy it. It's not worth much though! It has no real value. I think they paid $200 or something for it. Should I do that first?

Wait - I'm re-reading the lease again. Here's what it says:
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k48/wilsonta1/lease-possession.jpg

Doesn't this say that I can take possession of the premises at my...

Okay, here's what I got today: We will completely be out by Monday Feb 9th. We are going to send your key and garage door openers through certified mail. We only got one key, as your husband only...

Thanks excon for the compliment. This is why the situation is just so weird and so odd why they were making so many claims about the house - that we weren't providing heat and it wasn't habitable. ...

Thanks! Will do!

Preventing others from accessing or using the property? Does anyone want to access or use it? Check it out for yourself... The black paint line is our property, then it's 30' of easement before the...

Excon, I am showing the house & giving them 24 hr notice EVERY time I'm showing so they have NO cause against us. So, this is why I still have contact!

Our lease also states that if I try to...

Okay, you have a point. I will follow through & ask for permission to change the locks if they have stuff remaining there.

HOWEVER, I believe the house will be bare by Friday night - if the house...

They have stuff there still. But, I will have proof of utilities showing that I took over gas today & Friday will take over electric.

My husband believes they are going to leave a few remaining...

Maybe I should post a new thread about where to go from here?

I have the same basic question but in Oklahoma. The easement next to us (between us & the roadway easement) is 30' wide & about 146' deep along our property. It continues past our property & was...

I like this idea. The PO definitely won't just give this over the phone. Where are on the envelope would you put "address correction requested"?

I met the gas man today & he turned to gas back on & I went with him to light pilots & check the furnaces & thermostats. I didn't go anywhere he wasn't there & left when he left because I don't want...

Yes, Pacific Heights... OH, I've seen that movie several times - so dumb and naïve are we!! :)

I drove by. Tonight, the lights were on!! What should I do tomorrow about the gas?? I set up a time to turn it back on because I'm sure they are working tonight packing & moving, but should I wait...

I have emailed another neighbor who I can trust and hopefully, they'll let me know if they see anything or have already seen anything.

I like the idea of borrowing a car - great idea.

After...

Also, I called the electric company & found they are shutting the power off on Friday (conveniently so I won't have power over the weekend?) I'm glad I called. I was able to transfer it back over...

I posted the pay or quit notice today. We took pictures with today's newspapers as well. Now what?

Okay, great! That is what I needed to know.

Okay, if I give them notice & the leave in 3 days, then I wouldn't be evicting, right? I would just be going to small claims?

I'm confused. I cannot find anything in the law that states the 30 day notice doesn't start until the end of the month & that they owe for the full month's rent. Can you point me in the right...

Doesn't a quit notice give them the option to be out in 3 days without paying? I don't quite understand how these notices work because it seems like they can get out & not pay. Well, I think they...

Well, the game is on again. They didn't pay the rent. My husband called & reminded them it was the 1st and they still had time to bring the rent over this evening & that they would lose their $50...

Today was completely ODD! It's stranger then fiction. We get there to meet the prospective tenants, my husband goes alone to the door, it takes a little while but they answer. My husband comes &...
