No reunification plan in place that I am aware of; both parents have lost parental rights As far as I know, both parents attended parenting classes, etc. as required, and did an appeal to the county that denied parental rights, the appeal was denied. Is the only option at this point to file a...

I am in a similar situation with my 14 year old son. I requested testing for Special Ed, due to his depression. He was found to eligible for Special Ed classes at school due to his depression/anxiety. He is going into High School this year, and I am hoping that the change in schools and the...

EEOC/ADA Questions My suggestion to you would be to try to find a plantiff only employment law attorney to work with. Some may be willing to take the case on a contigency fee basis. Best of luck.

That is determined by case law and the unemployment judge, not the employer. :yes:

CA state disability is based on your Dr. putting you on disability leave. You have to file for CA State disability and your Dr. has to provide documentation of your disability to SDI. Your employer is like mine, they hide their head in the sand. Ask your Dr. to put you on disability leave...

Sounds very familiar...do NOT drop the WC claim at this point would be my suggestion (personal opinion, I am not at atty). File a complaint with the DFEH in CA with a complaint of disability discrimination, retaliation, etc. Do continue to contact employment law atty's (look for plantiff...

FMLA for private and public employers may vary. Speak with an attorney in your area.

I believe that with FEHA, you have 1 year from the date of the last incident of discrimination, but you need to contact your FEHA case worker. Send them a copy. Since your case is already in the works, send them a copy and let them decided if it is usable evidence. Can't hurt to let them know...
