I’m going to say this in plain English, your little butthurt isn’t a legal wrong.

Every insult to your heart isn’t a lawsuit, or as we call it in the biz, a cause of action.

I’ve been out of the courtroom for several years. I still get private messages on social media, not quite on the daily, but almost.

Hey, you still a lawyer…Do you know anything about (insert crap here)

I know about quite a bit of stuff. I also went through 2 degrees, and paid considerable money, aside from scholarships, to get them. I went through a year-long articling which was basically an apprenticeship where I was paid cashews. Just above peanuts, but not enough to complain about with the perks.

I had to write an all-day exam.

So, yeah, I know some shit.

And I know your little problem is not something you can sue about.

Your live-in man left you and got a new woman. There are no kids. There’s no property because you’re both broke. But he wouldn’t pay your fare back to your kid’s house. That’s not a thing.
