      my husband has lost his heart

      There is no "we" in this...YOU can do nothing. YOU have no rights. But your husband...HE: 1. Could not wait two years and then talk about what a great Dad he is. If he was so "devastated," he wouldn't have waited more than two weeks! 2. Could pay all his child support up-to-date, and...

      Father denied visitation

      Do you have court-ordered visitation? If so, you file a contempt of court citation against her and you show up at the court-ordered time to pick up your sons for visitation accompanied by a nice police officer. If you want to be a real "meanie," you can file for custody of your sons...

      Sexual harrassment and/or hositle work????

      In order for sexual harassment to occur, the actions have to be pervasive. One misdirected comment is not going to be viewed as pervasive. What did Mary say to him? THAT'S her recourse...to say, "I do not appreciate your candor." In order to be SH, actions have to be "unwelcome." The best...

      Salary Exempt?

      Small businesses are allowed to have exempt employees. If you think you were misclassified, even if that is only because you did not meet the minimum pay requirement to be exempt, you should file a claim with the DOL. Provide any documentation you have, and the more the better, to prove all...

      Please help. Hiring issue

      As for the question of whether or not a background check can be performed before an offer is made, some parts can, but the FCRA limits credit checks and criminal checks (except driving records) to post-offer. Of course, physicals need to be done post-offer only, too. Collecting references...

      Visitation for a non-biological father.

      This is a classic case of "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!" Daddy went behind Mommy's back and got a paternity test. Why I won't assume. Obviosuly, NOT a well-thought out action, however. Now that he knows he's not the Daddy, he has no legal obligation to pay CS. Maybe...

      Why is the law so blind when it comes to Fathers having full custody...

      The situation has nothing to do with man vs. woman. In order for you to get custody, you need to prove Mom is unfit. Even by your own admission, she is not unfit...perhaps not perfect, and a bit unorthodox, but even you describe her as a "good mother." If she were doing drugs, incarcerated...

      Statue of limitations

      180 days from the date of the last occurrence. You have to file with the EEOC or your state human rights commission first. You can't just get a lawyer and go right to court. Also, the EEOC and probably your state commission will frown on the cliam unless you have exhausted whatever internal...

      religous descrimination??

      Your answers to my post raise some additional issues, none of which bode well for your case, I'm afraid. I was beginning to think you might have something for both an UI and a discrimination claim until you mentioned that you are required to be at the service because you are the head minister...

      religous descrimination??

      It may be religious discrimination, but that depends on a few things. Accomodation only needs to be made if the religion specifically REQUIRES something to be done in order to practice the religion faithfully. Most employers don't know the "ins and outs" of every religion, so it is not usually...

      Pregnancy/Miscarriage/Surgery

      I agree, but that's not the angle from which I'm examining the issues. I see a potential FMLA violation if she was not allowed to take time off at her doctor's insistance (HAD to work 6 days, even though doctor would not release her to do so), she was "forced" back to work without proper...

      Humiliation over restroom breaks

      Although I can certainly empathize with your plight, I can't see that anything illegal has happened here. Your employer is correct that legally they don't have to allow any employee to use the restroom. Of course, that's not a smart thing to do, but it is legal. They can also make different...

      Pregnancy/Miscarriage/Surgery

      First, please accept my condolences on the loss of your baby. Before I can answer you about any recourse you may have, please tell me: 1. How long did you work for this company? 2. How many employees did this company have working at the facility where you worked and within a 75-mile radius...

      postal confusion

      And federal government employers, like the postal service will ALWAYS give preferential treatment to hiring vets. Nothing illegal about that either in the public sector.

      afraid that father may try to get visitation

      Take a deep breath and relax, Mom! :) You're right...he very well could sue for custody and/or visitation. Does that mean he'll get it? His chances are slim to none. Custody almost certainly will not change for a man who hasn't given a damn in 11 years. Visitation might be slightly more...

      needs help!

      Are you saying paternity has never been established? No DNA test...no acknowlegement of paternity signed at the hospital...nothing? If not, then legally he's not the father and he has no rights. You can do whatever you want. Keep in mind, of course, he can decide to make it tough for you and...

      stolen sons

      If I am reading you correctly, your wife has taken YOUR son, who is NOT her son and fled? Is this your son from a previous relationship? Where is his biological mother? Has your wife adopted him? If your wife has taken a child that she has no rights to (not adopted, not bio mom, etc.), then...

      Personal finances

      I don't see why not. Financial institutions (I have worked at several) are very picky about the financial status of their employees. After all, you handle lots of other people's money...how can you be expected to do that responsibly if you can't even handle your own money? It is common, when an...

      Union Intimidation

      I don't know why you hijacked this particular thread to ask this question, but the answer is "yes." The law doesn't require employers to provide sick, personal, or vacation time at all, so the way they expect employees to use them is entirely up to the employer, so if they want to insist people...

      Rights as a Temporary Employee

      The employer isn't obligated to tell your son why he was terminated. The biggest obstacle here is the temporary status. Whether or not the accusations were founded, the employer decided, "Hey, this is a temporary employee. I don't have to deal with this! I'll just get a different temp!" That's...
