Can I sue my employer for asking my age, place of origin, and whether my wife & I will have kids? (Asked during hiring process): Earlier this month, I was up for a promotion, but they passed me over for someone very unqualified compared to me. When I was first hired, I responded “not yet” .when asked if we have kids and then his follow up was “well, how old are you” (implying I am too old or that time is running out to have a family). My immediate supervisor witnessed this. When the same questions were asked again most recently I gave more specific answers when it was just he and I alone. My wife and I lost a son several years ago was my answer most recently when he again asked if we have kids. That’s when the conversation abruptly ended. Two days after, I was passed over for a promotion I was clearly the most qualified for. I work in college Athletics as a coach.

A’s answer: I am not an expert on employment discrimination. There are red flags in the age related questions (and family), but then how is the relevant to the final promotion decision? Generally, you have to prove an actual discriminatory result.

Im not satisfied with my attorney a accident case involving a 18 wheeler made a offer at first I accepted and then I changed my : I'm not satisfied with the offer not my attorney

Asked over 1 year ago in Trucking Accident

A’s answer: I do not understand. If you accepted an offer, you conveyed your acceptance to your attorney, and your attorney conveyed this to the other party, your hands are tied. This is a enforceable contract and you cannot change your mind. If your attorney has not yet conveyed your thoughts to the other side, you may switch attorneys and change your mind.

What happens after the fathers is arrested for not paying the child support for years?: The father of my son is arrested for not paying the child support for years, I need to know what is going to happen after.

Asked over 1 year ago in Family

A’s answer: What happens? The judge would give a purge amount and he would remain in jail until purge is paid. This would be after a hearing in which he would be given an opportunity to explain his failure to pay. He can claim poverty and judge will inquire into why he does not have a job and what efforts made. The judge would set a report back date (likely) after release to see about progress. I would communicate with the child support attorney for the state and child support recovery office. They could have answered a question like this.
