This is for a medical bill. Court date is 1-6. Want to settle out of court, but can't afford to pay entire amt until 1-15. If I show up & file my answer on 1-6 can I then work out a deal w/lawyers to avoid judgement? If so, what do I state in my answer? Or must I have everything before...

Thanks! That's all I wanted to know.

Thanks. I have looked at that site, but it's still unclear to me because they state "serious health illness" and do not mention minor illnesses that require a day or even a 1/2 day off to care for a sick child.

FMLA states one of it's purposes is to allow an employee unpaid time off "to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition". If you have exhaused all your time off and need to start taking unpaid time off when your child is sick with the flu...

Point taken. I appreciate your sound advice and the calm demeaner in which you delivered it. You are correct - we don't know if the mgr was repremanded. I guess it's not so much a matter of looking for "damage" or "defense", but rather the employee wanting documented validation that the...

Sheesh Jacksgal - would you relax already? There is no need to continuously bark at me for soliciting opinions here!

I'm the defendant in a current class action lawsuit against a credit card company that, as a result of the new credit card laws, breached their own contract w/me & others. If I win a settlement are my winnings taxable?

I'm not sure how they should have handled it. I wouldn't be questioning at all, but a co-worker came to me for support & that's why I'm here asking. We are wondering if this incident should be documented and kept in her file rather than dismissed. It seems the mgr got caught mishandling...

I stand by what I said about critisicism on the poster. I see it a lot here on this forum and think it's unecessarily rude - that's all. Often those who are critical of others don't see it that way and don't realize how they come across. Thanks again & have a great day.

Thanks for the input. I must say however, I'm always baffled by responses like yours that seem to focus more on critisizing the poster vs. just giving advice. Posters are here for helpful advice - that's what this forum is for!

A mgr @ work jumped the gun & accused an employee of falsifying her time card w/o getting the facts straight. Employee did not intentionally do this - mgr was out all week & employee was unsure how an unexpected late arrival should be coded, so she did not sign the card & put a "?" in the...

I know it's my son's own fault for being in this position, but here we are & it is what it is. I'm not trying to take over for him - he is coming to me for advice so I'm just trying to gather info for him by posting his situation. Ultimately, it's his fight - I'm just his older & wiser support...

Um excuse me lonelyinney but WE most certainly are in this together as my son is looking to me for help and we are equally concerned for the welfare of this child as he is. Don't take things so literally - I know it's his child & I'm not expecting to win custody for myself! Sheesh - take a...

My son & his girlfriend are expecting, both are 25. She & her 6 yr old son from another guy are bi-polar w/anger issues. Her anger has turned violent towards my son many times. When arguing he prefers to leave the situation, which makes her angrier. She will scratch & hit to keep him from...
