I Want Off this Rollar Coaster, it is Making me Sick.

I am going to throw up over this.

This is not meant to be venting. I need HELP and ADVICE. I don't know what to do!!!

Situation:

Jason emails me: "I will pay you $$$$ and let me know whether or not you are taking Niko."
Me: "Ok. I am taking Niko. I will accept the amount of $$$$ as long as these (VERY fair) terms are met."

Jason: "Setting a timeline isn't right. You can't have Niko and I'm not paying you"
Me: "Wait, you just said to tell you if I am taking her and you agreed to that amount. All I did was add timelines and put in there that you had to sign over Niko's microchip papers - which any lawyer or notary would want to define."

Jason: "Wait a minute, you should pay me and you can't have Niko"
Me: "Um...no, you agreed to that amount and that I would have Niko"

Jason: "I will see you in court."

I swear, that is exactly what happened. What on God's Green Earth am I supposed to do?

  3. Tell him that you will see him in court then. Did you talk to him about this or was it in email/text/written format? Tell him that furthur communications about Niko will have to be over email, then, no backtracking. It is in black and white and the judge can decide from there.

  4. Wait a minute...I don't get it. So he wants YOU to pay for YOUR dog? Am I missing something?

  5. Thanks for the support everyone.
    Since I have all her paperwork and we never actually registered her with AKC, I just did. Spent $114, but AKC is sending me the papers that she is mine. In order to register, I had to have litter numbers, registration numbers, etc...he doesn't have that. I do. Thank God I keep documents!!!

    Kim - the money thing is that I gave him 1 year to get the house in his name - otherwise he will have to pay more money. He has a poor debt to income and we are upside down so it will cost $29,000 to do it now. He wants me to give him $14,000 and then he will agree to the 1 year timeline. However, he told me "I have the house so you aren't responsible anymore" when he thought it was only going to take 3 weeks. Hense the whole "get it in writing" bit.

    Do I bring the papers and have the Holland cops go with me to pick her up tonight? Now I have the AKC papers - although the "official" ones take a few weeks.

    Side note: It is insane. It is a rollar coaster. It has been for 5 years. I want off. I have paid my dues. I just want me and Niko to be away from that.

  6. Second Side Note: This was all through email. It clearly states his progression from paying me and me keeping her to him saying I have to pay. Insane.

  7. If those papers you have tonight would get Niko with you, I would go get her tonight if I were you. That was my first thought was as soon as you can get her with you, do it. What a nasty mess that I wish I could wave a magic wand for you! Those freakish organization skills are coming in sooo handy right now!!

  8. It is good you have it in e-mails. The judge should side with you and you could probably get him to pay the court costs too!

    About Niko, I would wait for the official papers before doing anything.

  9. What if my papers say "registration complete"?

  10. What an awful situation. I guess one thing I would say would be that if there's any chance Bryce would be there, I would not go over with the cops to get Niko. I'm sure you've already thought about that, though, and Bryce is likely not there. Aren't you going to NY later this month? Maybe you should wait until you get back and have the "official" papers, and see if he's changed his mind yet again by then.

  11. The thing is that I am afraid to wait - I am afraid he will "hide" Niko. He wouldn't expect me to show up now since he knows I am going to NYC. My mom said she would watch Niko while I was in NYC if need be. Bryce won't be there until Friday night.
