r/HomeImprovement•

The toilet flapper chain broke, and someone flushed the toilet, and the chain (apparently) got sucked out of the tank into the bowl. It appears to be caught in the small hole that's in the front of the bowl. I jiggled the chain with a pliers, but I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to try and get it free.

The chain is lightweight and is floating a bit. I presume the clip is what's causing it to get trapped.

I found a couple of diagrams that look a little like my toilet:

Here, where it says "jet": http://www.upfrontprice.com/images/Clipart/flush%20action%201.gif

And here's a larger diagram, showing how water flows, which I presume is how the chain got pulled into it: https://s3.

r/tax•

My kid is a college student who was sent home (Oregon) from college (California) due to the virus. Before she was sent home, she did a small amount of work on campus as a tutor. After she was sent home, she continued doing the tutoring. She also had a summer job that was 100% remote (the company branch is in California). She also received taxable financial aid from the college in Feb, and then after she was in Oregon.

Her W2 from the campus job had no state tax withheld. Her W2 from the summer job only had Oregon tax withheld.

How do I divide this up when filing the state taxes?

My guesses:

  • For the time she was living in California (Jan-Mar), she counts as a Nonresident, and reports i

(I'm using Angular 1)

I have an array of complex objects. I have a watch bound to something like this:

myArray[objectId].propArr.length

if the object myArray[objectId] is deleted, what happens to the watch? Will I need to manually unbind it? Will it automagically get cleaned up since the object no longer exists?

I'm in Oregon. My ex lives in Ohio, as far as I know.

My ex is a full time grad student. This past year, he got a stipend, but only for the school year. The stipend was garnished. Since it's now summer, I have not received any child support for two months. I don't know if he has a summer job, and I don't know if he will continue getting a stipend next year. He refuses to talk to me and is generally very uncooperative.

I pay him alimony through Zelle (direct person-to person electronic transfer) each month, so I know he has plenty of money to be able to pay me the child support he owes.

Is there a way that I can pay my alimony through the state, and request that they garnish that money, s

My ex is a full time grad student in another state (but my case is in Oregon jurisdiction). I have filed paperwork to modify the child support he pays to me (I pay him alimony). In his response, I found out he's a full time grad student, with a small stipend, and gets tuition credits.

For the purposes of the child support calculator, can I legitimately argue that the tuition credit should count as income? Or does he get a pass since that income is not taxable?

(I don't have a lawyer, and the review hearing has not yet been scheduled. I'm trying to marshall all my arguments ahead of time.)

r/tax•

With the new tax bill I know there's a bit of confusion as to what to expect. But I'm thinking ahead to when my daughter goes to college in the fall.

She will be going away out of state to a private college. She will max out her federal loans (~$6k), and the rest will be covered by need-based grants from her school.

I'm wondering if the amount of the grants that cover room, board, clothes, medical care, etc, will count as taxable income.

  1. And if so, will it count as taxable income to her or to me?

  2. And if it's her income, can I still claim her as a dependent?

  3. And if it's her income will she owe income tax to my state (Oregon) or the state the college is in (California)?

On the CSS Profile, it asks about the sibling's college costs. One of the line items includes costs of room and board, etc. If the student is living at home, should I assume the cost is what it would be if I was renting to a housemate (which I would do if he wasn't around)? Should I take the family expenses and divide by the number of people in the household? Do I include the cost of his public transportation pass that lets him get to/from campus? (He doesn't drive)

(This is background; jump to the TL;DR below for the question)

I have full custody of my daughter. I pay alimony to my ex. He's a full time student, and as far as I know has no income, and has a ton of student loans, and he expects to never be out of debt. He owns a car, no real assets. I don't know what he did with the 401k money from the divorce. Perhaps he rolled it over into another retirement account, or perhaps he took it as cash to live on (It was only $50k). He may have credit card debt, I don't know.

He is very hostile towards me, and is adamantly refusing to fill out the CSS forms. I'm trying to find a way to convince him to do so.

My daughter has already sent him an email beg

I live in Oregon.

I receive child support under an established order in, based on the parenting plan that was agreed on at the divorce (finalized in Feb 2015). For all of 2016, and (so far) 2017 my ex has not been using his parenting time. No overnights, and only casual email/facebook contact. I think he had one or two lunches with her in 2016.

I'm wondering if I can file the forms to request a modification in the child support amount, on the grounds that he has had no overnights, and so the calculation should be redone using a value of 0 overnights.

During this time, he has earned a degree, though I have had no significant contact with him, so I don't know if he has an income. The origin

r/RealEstate•

I went through a divorce, and part of that shitstorn involved a foreclosure on an investment property, which was finalized a little over a year ago. Other than that one issue, my credit is great - several mortgages in good standing or paid off, car loan paid off, plenty of credit card accounts in good standing, my credit score is currently over 700.

My primary home's mortgage is with Wells Fargo. I've been in the house for almost 10 years now, no plans to move, great equity. I spoke to Wells Fargo about refinancing that loan to get a better interest rate and lower my payment and they said there was a mandatory minimum 3 years before I could even think about qualifying for a new loan. That n

I own my home, and I'm renting my basement level to two housemates. They used to be friends, but he's recently gotten verbally abusive and entering her room without permission (including when she's asleep), and violating some personal boundaries. He also owns a couple of guns, and because of his emotionally irrational behavior, that's making her (and me) nervous. She's going to find out on Monday if she can get a TRO against him. She's also going to install a lock on her door, which I will pay for.

So far, it looks like a personal problem between the two of them. He has not acted threatening or inappropriately towards me or my (teenage) kids.

They are both on unwritten, individual, month-t
