Hi,
I have worked in my parents family bussiness for about 10 years. I was 13 years old when I was forced to help out. Now I am 22 years old. During those years I was promise that when I left home, I would get a monetary compensation for working all that time. I never had a salary, I never had any benefits, I don't even own a car, I have worked for nothing. But now that I am about to leave, they want to get a divorce and split the money invested in properties, leaving me homeless, without a car, without anything. Sadly, I still continue to work there, with the hope that my efforts are worth something.
Can I sue them before they get the divorce? I have witnesses that have seen me working at the bussiness since I was 13 years old and to the present. I have a police report indicating that I was victim of an arm robbery at the age of 14 or 15.
* I know they helped me all those years, but it isn't fair what they are doing.
Thank You! I really appreciate your help!
