Your son-in-law register your domain name — Don’t let

He might hold onto it if he gets a divorce.

Occasionally a UDRP is filed that’s part of a family feud.

Earlier this year I wrote regarding a how a guy filed a UDRP against his brother.

Now here’s another one: a man filed a UDRP against his ex-son-in-law.

As stated by the complainant, his family gave him his last name as a .com back in 2002. But apparently his son-in-law had actually done the registration and did it in his own name.

Later, the complainant’s daughter got a divorce, but her ex-husband held onto the name.

The panel refused to decide the case on the grounds that there were legal settlements between the respondent and his ex-wife, as well as potentially ongoing legal disputes.

I guess this is a variation on not letting your web hosting firm register your domain in its own name…
