JENNIFER

I am thinking of moving to Howell, NJ, specifically Ramtown. Can I get some feedback from residents if they like it here or not and why? Also, I've heard something about a water problem there? Any info? Thanks in advance!

OK, I am having tons of problems with the company that manages my condo. There was a problem in a common pipe, which just happens to be located in my kitchen. The repair of this pipe benefited both my unit and one other. After tons of fighting, the managing company has picked up the cost for the repairs. In order to do the repairs, though, they had to break open my ceiling and wall in 3 places, and they are now telling me they are not responsible for painting. It seems to me that if the problem was the result of a common element, they should restore my kitchen to the condition it was in before they sent their workers here.

Also, up until about a week ago, all unit owners were prevented from using the playground area, which is common property, because the managing company couldn't figure out how to keep out trouble-making teens, so they had the area closed for 10 months out of the year for the past 2 years.

My husband was once involved with a woman who became pregnant during the course of their relationship (of course before I ever even knew him). The woman convinced him he was the father, never confessing that she had been sleeping with other people. Under this false pretense, my husband acknowledged paternity on the birth certificate, gave the child his last name, and started paying child support upon "his daughter's" birth. Then he started hearing stories about how she was sleeping with other people around the time she became pregnant. My husband then began to raise the issue of paternity in court, but was denied a DNA test because he had initially acknowledged paternity. After about 5 years, and $80,000 in child support, daycare costs, and legal fees, my husband was finally granted a DNA test, only to find out he was NOT the father. Now, even though he did acknowledge paternity on the birth certificate, he did so because he was defrauded into believing this child was his.
