UHow did you choose this particular practise area? Do you have other qualifications, in addition to a law degree?UAs any qualified lawyer will tell you, this is an issue we debate extensively in an ethics class. Not just theoretical ethics, but we pause and ponder whether we would still represent a client if we know their guilt for a fact. Some have the stomach for it, and others don’t and choose a somewhat less confrontational area of law.
But the justice system isn’t built around what is true, but what can be proved to be true and on the principles that someone accused is innocent until proven guilty and that everyone is entitled to due process and a fair trial.
You think we don’t hear it enough? It’s background noise. Like junk mail that turns up in your inbox like clockwork, we hear it all the time. Sure there are bad apples in the legal profession, but who do you think fights for your rights? Who do you think files PILs after PILs to try and get justice or make reforms or ensure that you get bail or the tax office doesn’t screw you over or the press doesn’t get neutered or that section 377 gets struck off or repealed?
So yeah, if you think lawyers don’t hear this enough, you have something else coming. But sure, sit in front of your keyboard and make sure the profession hears it often enough. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
UThe liability to discharge any debts owed by your father only extends to the assets you inherit. Children cannot be made to pay parental debts out of their own personal assets.Now, take this with a grain of salt. This isn’t actionable legal advice from a lawyer but from a random internet person. As any half decent law student will tell you, the answer to any legal question starts with, ‘it depends’.
For your personal sanity, consult a lawyer on what your obligations might be. It is worth the expense.
UYeah, no. Changing your name in India involves letting the relevant authorities know and submitting a notification to be printed and published in the Gazette of India. Changing your name doesn’t sever your relationship or legal obligations to your parents. Like putting old wine in a new bottle. You can dodge your obligations for sure, but you don’t need to change your name for that.Somewhat decent, but juvenile, idea on paper, doesn’t work in execution outside of a movie.
UThis is a sub for advice for people with pressing legal issues. For the most part. This feels like it should be posted on r/relationshipadvice or r/offmychest and sounds more like a post seeking validation from internet starngers or an outpouring of jealousy.Besides, what specific legal advice do you want? You’re not saying anyone. Do you want whistleblower protection? From what? What are you exposing? You don’t know the source of their wealth and it only bothers you because they ghosted you and you feel like you’re owed something because you helped in the past during a rough patch, otherwise you don’t seem to have a shred of proof that their wealth was obtained unfairly or illegally.
Do you want to report it? Report it. Don’t make a song and dance out of it. Instead of crying about being butt hurt on Reddit a little googling would have pointed out that there is indeed an anonymous tip like operated by the IT department for tax evasion. But since doing that you wouldn’t receive instant gratification or validation.
tldr; should you? Think for yourself and ask for specific legal advice
UTo be honest, this belongs in a relationship subreddit because to me you need relationship advice rather than legal advice.The bottom line is run. Don’t stick it in crazy. She has, according to her, a documented history of making false statements, her family is coercive and to top it all off a vengeful almost ex-husband hell bent on his revenge arc.
So, that being said what you do next is up to you. You don’t need a lawyer to tell you to block her number and ignore her communications.
UThis is just…. A waste of everyone’s time with such vague information. Also abducted by your own parents? If you want clear actionable advice on a public forum like Reddit give us enough information to make heads or tails of the situation.Else the best advice is hire a lawyer or buy noise cancelling headphones. Maybe you can negotiate that as ransom with your kidnappers.
