it sounds like you know better then letting any of this woman rub off on your children. so don’t let it. block her emails and change your number, tell her off if you have to. what ever it takes for her to get the picture to never contact you again. but thats my opinion.

First off, my condolences on the loss of your husband. Being a widow is hard. Being young widow is harder and being a young widow with young children is the worst. Keep your head up.

As for your sociopathic mother in law: Say this: “If you choose to claim my children as dependents on your tax return, I can’t stop you. However, I will report you to the IRS and once they realize that you falsified a tax return, you’ll be in big trouble.” That should knock the wind out of her sails.

As for the rest of the harassment, your former m-i-l sounds like she was insanely jealous of you. Some women really can’t tolerate not being the number one woman in their son’s life. My advice? Allow psycho-grandma to communicate with the children via cards, letters, and emails but temporarily end verbal communication. The last thing your children need after having lost a parent is to put up with a selfish, immature old woman who is supposed to care about their feelings but doesn’t.

Good luck.

Just ignore her.

She has no right to any of the life insurance money, give her nothing. The money was to provide for his wife and children. Not to be a windfall for his mother!

If she takes this to court, the court will require her to pay court costs and your lawyer when she looses.

The IRS will fine her and hopefully some jail time for willful income tax fraud when it finds the same children on both her and your returns. Let the IRS at her!

Wow.. she sounds bipolar. Well she can’t do anything you don’t allow her to do so there is no real issue concerning the taxes. Just go ahead and have your taxes done with your kids on them. When she calls tell the money grubbing hag to go to hell she wont get anything ever again from you and if she continues to harass you that you will file charges against her.
Here’s something to bare in mind. Anytime someone takes you to court you need to always have documented proof supporting your side. If you have caller ID on your phone and know its her calling before the conversation starts tell her you recording the conversation. This may even detour her from even calling you BUT the clincher here is you need proof you went to the police to file harrassment charges. This shows you took the correct & legal steps to stop her messing with you.

Comment on if you have an accident thats not your fault. but you have parking insurance. Then whos fault is it? by entidtil

“Fault” is not determined by the type of insurance one has or doesn’t have. Anyone can ask anybody to pay for damages and because they ask, doesn’t mean you have to pay. Since I am in the USA, I don’t understand what “parking” insurance is but since it looks like you have insurance, you should have reported all of this to your insurance company. Since it looks like you didn’t, report it now and allow them to do the job that you pay them premiums for

Comment on Q&A: What is the best and cheapest insurance when renting a car in America? by Entidtil

Many credit cards offer free collision damage waiver (CDW) insurance. Some offer other insurance for rentals as well. Check with your credit card company to see what protection they may offer for you. Also check with your own insurer. Sometimes (not often, in the case of a foreign rental though) your cars’ insurance may extend to a rental. Check with them also. If you find no free protections, bite the bullet and pay for their insurance. It’s not pleasant to be involved in an accident in a foreign country without the necessary insurance.

Comment on When you buy travel insurance what does it cover.? by travelers

It sounds like you bought a plan offered by the tour operator or cruise line which combines self-insured trip cancellation coverage with traditional insurance for the post-departure coverages. If it’s a self-insured plan for trip cancellation than that means the tour operator/cruise line is carrying the risk instead of a licensed insurance company. It is a questionable practice which is illegal in the State of New York if the coverage is contingent on any future event. Check with your State Insurance Department to see if it is legal in your State.
