Cousin reneged on verbal contract? |
originally wanted to plan a party for one of my sisters for a sweet 16(I am her legal guardian;her twin lives with my cousin). Listening to family, I decided to include my cousin on the planning . I did most of the legwork(deposits,buying decorations,keeping contact with dj photographer venue)and my cousin just got the table decorations done.She is upset that I invited my GRANDMOTHER to the birthday party, called me, and decided to pull out the party. Not only is she not coming up with the money she intended to pay , but party isnt for the other sister anymore. Can she be sued for her half of the expenses that I now have to pay to keep the party plans rolling?($700) The party is next weekend.She pulled out on the party today . I am aware I wont see the money for a while. We are also not on speaking terms.Oh, her reason for not liking my grandmother is due to family RUMORS that my grandmother didnt know about. Now I have to face telling her why we wont be seeing her other granddaughter it would cost you about 1500 to retain an attorney,unless you take her to small claims court,your cousin is way our of line,she should continue with the plans,and stop being so childish,she is suppose to be acting like the adult,and she is acting like a 2 year old,and how is that going to reflect on your other sister that lives with her,they are twins they deserve to have a birthday party together,your cousin is really inmature,and she should atleast send your sister to the party,if she is not mature enough to come her self a 16 year old can not legally make a contract, verbal or otherwise. i don't think you can legally do anything about it. maybe small claims court but i don't think so since it was verbal. looks like this is one of those family things that you'll have to deal with. the party should be for both girls and it still can be.you are their big sister. that should have some pull. is she the legal gaurdian of the other twin?if not, she can do nothing about the girl attending the party. maybe the one that lives with you could talk to her sister? its looks serious matter why dnt u talk directly Don't sue and make this into a bigger problem than it already is. Just don't share planning responsibilities with that cousin any more. This tendency of hers to throw a snit is going to get her in a lot of trouble and she'll have to deal with this again and again. In the meantimes, you throw the party. Have a good time. Don't worry about your grandmother realizing that someone is not there. Gloss over that fact and just say she is really busy and couldn't make it to the party. She's not speaking to you so you won't have to worry about her giving you grief about it - that's a good thing. A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on - that's an old joke but true. A verbal agreement is very hard to litigate. |
