I've been having a busier than normal day today, from the minute I hit my desk this morning. Then this happens: Another manager's employee comes to me to ask if I have time to do a task that I can do in a pinch as backup, but don't normally do if their manager is in the office. I say no, I'm...

I've rarely run into anyone of either gender who thinks that the child support they were ordered to pay was "fair". My ex-husband and I were divorced 40 years ago. In our state, there were no formulas for calculating child support at the time. During our dissolution we were just asked to agree...

Wanting the marriage license makes no sense.

I'm confused by those of you who are saying that, since the mother willingly let the presumptive (but not technically proven) father see the child, he's under no obligation to return the child, absent a court order. Since he hasn't been proved to be the father, then technically he has no more...

If someone gives you an NSF check and you deposit it, when the check is returned unpaid then that money is no longer in your account, which means that they still owe you the money. It has absolutely nothing to do with them telling you the check would bounce, because face it, they could tell you...

In a way it's sad how crazy things can become over wedding planning and how "everything has to be perfect" creates so much stress for people that they do things hastily or without really thinking them through and It ends up becoming more about having a "perfect" wedding than the end result of a...

Leslie, I agree with you wholeheartedly and truly wish that there were more resources available to men who are victims of DV. Every resource around here for victims of DV has the word "women" in its title. I once asked someone who is very involved in one women's shelter what happened to the men...

Pretty much all my life I've seen in movies and tv shows where if a woman is upset with a man, she slaps him. Guy upsets her, insults her, makes her mad, she slaps him across the face. I've also heard all my life that "boys don't hit girls" but how many people have not bothered to teach the...

Yeah, txls, I wanted to say that but I didn't think the WC company would appreciate the levity! I decided we didn't need that rogue clipboard attacking anyone else without provocation, so I put it in another cabinet, this time on a lower shelf. If it flies out of there and hits somebody in the...

I've worked with worker's comp for years, and I've had times when I laughed to myself about how an employee was injured because it just seemed so ludicrous. Today I'm filing my own claim and laughing at myself...well, not really, because it hurts to laugh. In the middle of the work day...

You have to understand how often those of us who post on here see this question. If you'd searched this forum you'd see at least 10 - 15 recent posts about the exact same question. I might not have put it the same way as adjusterjack did, but my thought has always been if you can use a computer...

You say the "last" time he raped you...how many times does somebody get to rape you before you finally cut off all contact with them? You said you were traumatized and asking him why. Why were you even talking to him? Please, use some common sense. If he raped you, and more than once, don't...

In my state, generally the parent who earns more ends up paying some amount of child support, even if the time is split 50/50 between parents.

The EEOC offers guidance regarding the Federal Anti-Discrimination Laws, and it's pretty clear-cut that there are circumstances under which you are allowed to ask them to speak English only. You can find this on the EEOC website: Speak-English -Only Rules The EEOC has stated that rules...

Apparently the boss has never heard of cause and effect...hitting the potholes is causing the parts to fall off, I assume that dropping the parts is NOT causing the potholes (unless they are some darned heavy parts!)

And they still have a job?

I read the article about that today and I understand that everybody has a right to their own political opinion. However, the language used was so vile and racist, it did more than just criticize the First Lady. A simple criticism would be one thing but bringing race into it, and in such a nasty...

This rumor is so pervasive, and I agree 100% with shrinkmaster...in most cases it's about the parents, one or the other of whom is trying to hurt the other. I've known a number of people who have used this as an excuse to call child protective services on their ex, and even though I've pretty...

My husband's ex refused to put his name on his kids' birth certificates, even though they lived together and were still together and he was right there when the kids were born. She didn't have to say anything like she didn't know who the father was, and she never denied it was him, but she was...

Very exciting!
