A quick definition of rem:

REM: A legal term that means "against a thing". It is used to determine the status of something and the rights of people related to that thing. It is different from in personam, which is about the rights of specific people. An action in rem is when a court decides who owns something and what rights they have, not just between themselves but also against anyone else who might deal with that thing. Quasi in rem is similar, but it's about the rights of a person who has an interest in property located within the court's jurisdiction.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: REM stands for "in rem," which is a Latin term meaning "against a thing." It refers to legal actions that involve determining the status of a thing, such as property, and the rights of people in relation to that thing.

Examples:

  • An action in rem could be a court case to determine who owns a piece of land.
  • Quasi in rem refers to legal actions that involve determining the rights of a person who has an interest in property located within the court's jurisdiction. For example, a court case to determine the rights of a person who has a lien on a car that is being sold.

These examples illustrate how in rem legal actions involve determining the rights and ownership of property, and how quasi in rem actions involve determining the rights of people with an interest in property.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
