I am planning to return to Japan permanently in the near future.
I will cancel my phone number in the U.S., but I would like to know if there is a safe and inexpensive way to receive SMS verification codes sent to my bank, brokerage firm, insurance company, etc. in the U.S. when I log in after returning to Japan. I am also considering Google Voice. I would also appreciate it if you could tell me the name of the bank where the SMS verification is actually being done without any problems. Thank you in advance.

In the near future, foreigners, including illegal aliens in the U.S., will no longer be able to sign up for cell phones in the U.S. If they cannot prove their status, they will be forcibly terminated and SMS verification will be impossible. This is expected to wipe out illegal aliens from developed countries.

If you are going to leave your bank account, etc. in the US, you might as well leave your phone without canceling it.
If you are worried about the phone bill, how about switching to a phone with a cheaper plan ？?

We have been thinking about buying a house for several years for our daughter's future school district, but since last year my husband and I have been having marital problems and have been living separately at home. We both work, but my husband does not put a dime of money into the home and does not do any of our daughter's school related or domestic matters. So I have a question and a consultation.
If we were to buy a house in our current situation, would we have to share the property with my husband ？ My husband and I do not intend to live together in the future and I will be paying the down payment and the mortgage.

Or is it better to buy a house
after the divorce?
Also, is there any way to avoid Community Property ？
I would appreciate it if you could help me.
Thank you very much.

In CA, in the event of a divorce, post-marital property is split 50/50.

You can put the property in your own name at the time of purchase.　If you also pay the down payment and loan from your personal assets （ premarital savings or inheritance from your parents ）, it will not be considered "community property" in the event of divorce.　Some spouses will argue over custody, so if you don't need to buy now, it is safer to rent for the time being and buy after the divorce.　

Do you have enough income to take out a loan on your own? ？
You should keep good records of the down payment and loan payments coming out of your personal account.

Thank you for the detailed information.
As for whether I can get a loan on my own, in the past I would have had many options for a place to live, but now that this has happened, I will have to change my mind and find somewhere acceptable.

I have an additional question, does anyone know of a Family Law attorney that they can recommend ？
or is there anywhere (other than a lawyer) where I can get divorce advice ？
I know this is a lot, but thank you! I am sorry to keep repeating this, but thank you.

I plan to return to Japan permanently in the near future after returning my U.S. permanent resident status. I need to leave my financial institution in the U.S. for various reasons, including the receipt of a private pension plan. I will cancel my phone number in the U.S. and file a W-8BEN after returning to Japan, but I would like to ask for your advice if you know of any banks or brokerage firms that I can maintain even if I move to Japan, or if you have actually used them without any problems.

While transferring money through a bank is generally a safe and reliable way to send money, there are a few points to keep in mind.

Remittance fees: It is important to check the fees in advance, as different banks have different fees.

Transfer time: Depending on the bank you are transferring to and the time of day, it may take several days.

Payee information: exact bank name, account number, SWIFT code, etc. is required.

Tax Reporting: Tax reporting may be required for remittances over $250,000.

It is best to contact your bank directly for specific bank names and detailed procedures. If there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to let us know.

$ If you're going to send 250,000 in dollars, you should definitely send it when the yen is cheap. Today $ is a good day to send money because 1=158 yen. Japanese banks charge about 3 yen as a commission. All banks charge roughly the same fee. The remittance fee is not much. Japanese banks usually call the receiver if the amount is over 10 million yen, and if the receiver does not answer the phone, they will not receive the money even if the money is transferred. Since the money is received on the day the receiver answers the phone, the amount in yen is transferred after approximately 3 yen is deducted from the exchange rate on that day.

I am currently a lunch server at a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant is open all night with no lunch break, but servers rotate with dinner servers at 4:30pm.
Since there is one server for both lunch and dinner, each server gets a tip.
However, the customers around 4:30pm are more subtle; it is the lunch server who is in the middle of the meal, and the dinner server who takes the check and lowers the plates.
The dinner server gets a tip for that customer.

Is this a normal part of the server duties ？ I have a few questions about the subtleties of the shift times.
I do not place a check on a customer while they are eating before I come up, as it is against the rules.

Please let me know if there are any differences in calculation between Japanese and American restaurants.
Thank you very much.

It's not a restaurant that started yesterday, and the rules have been established for a long time. It's not orderly for newcomers to complain about it
Then, we should discuss it and say that currently each person is supposed to get one, but from now on we will collect them once and distribute them equally, wouldn't that be digging a grave ？?

That is correct. It can be disruptive for a new employee to challenge an existing rule. If the current rules are considered fair, it may be wise to follow them.

If you feel there is room for improvement, it may be beneficial to have a quiet discussion with your manager or to exchange ideas with other colleagues.

Thank you all for your answers. The tip is of course split with the kitchen staff at the time. It is not the sole responsibility of the server.
However, since only servers rotate between lunch and dinner shifts, the kitchen staff is not affected. I am a little uncomfortable with the service I give being passed on to other servers as I believe the service I give is included in the customer's tip, but I will try to come to terms with it somewhere.
Thank you ！

The explanation apparently lacks consistency. It is understandable that there is some confusion as to whether each server receives tips directly or whether the restaurant collects them once for distribution with the kitchen staff. Perhaps it would be best to reconfirm this frankly with the staff.
