Question

I have questions in regards to a situation occurring at my place of employment. I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician and 5 year employee of a large national retailer. I took maternity leave to have my baby and returned to work 8 weeks later as a breastfeeding mother. Since returning to work, I have been recorded several times, 12 total, while expressing breastmilk (pumping) topless. The corrective measures that corporate management informed me would be enforced have been disregarded. I have since had production issues and can no longer provide enough milk to sustain my daughter on breastmilk solely. My unpaid break times have increased substantially due to it now being more difficult to express milk. I feel as though the only action I have left to take is a legal one. I'm not sure what the correct legal terminology is for my situation. Do I even have a legal case?



Answer

You might have many possible claims against your employer and/or co-workers (or whoever is recording you) ranging from sexual assault to FMLA to disability issues to PPACA breastfeeding requirements. It's hard to say exactly what claims you have or how strong your claims may be but you would be doing yourself a disservice not to talk to a lawyer about your case. Most lawyers, myself included, will at least talk to you by phone or email without charge. I don't know what part of Texas you are in but if you are in north Texas I would be happy to talk to you in greater detail.

Question

My ex and I have joint (50/50) custody of our daughter, and I still agreed to pay my ex $400 a month in support and she carry the health insurance on our daughter. My ex is always trying to find ways in getting more money from me. Recently she took our daughter to a dermatologist (which wasnt needed - our daughter has very clear skin) and she sent me a bill showing that I owe her $83 dollars. I contacted the dermatologist and found out that the office visit was only $25 dollars, and the rest is from a facial cleanser & toner that she bought (which cost $58 dollars) that wasnt medically necessary. I told my ex that I am not reimbursing this because (1) it wasnt discussed with me first and (2) it wasnt medically necessary, which is what is stated in our decree and (3) I shouldnt have to reimburse for the face wash & toner. Now my ex is saying that she is going to send this bill to the Attorney General and they will add it on to my child support. Can she do this? Am I liable to have to pay for this dermatologist appointment - that isnt even medical or necessary? Please help.



Answer

OTC items are not included in the medical obligation. You have a right to contest the amount of the reimbursement. Get a detailed statement from the dermatologist's office in case she decides at some point to go to court. The Attorney General rarely (if ever) institutes an enforcement action solely on the issue of reimbursement of medical primarily because it is a factual issue. In the event it happens, the written billing from the doctor is valid defense. (Send her $12.50 and document the payment).

Question

HI,

i was arrested 3 years ago but never charged with the crime (judge dismissed)...is there anyway to not have this charge not show up if fingerprinted. I got declined from a finance internship because FBI called them to inform them about the charge. Any advice would be greatly appreciated if there are ways to go around this. I will be graduating college next may and applying now for more internships.

Thanks,

Chelsea



Answer

Are you saying you were never "arraigned" on the charge? If you were arrested, the arraignment usually comes a short time after the arrest, and it is the first court event in a criminal proceeding. If the charge was dismissed BEFORE you were arraigned, then the charge would NOT appear on your Massachusetts criminal record; if the charge was dismissed AFTER the arraignment, the charge DOES appear on your Massachusetts criminal record (albeit as a dismissal).

Regardless of whether or not you were arraigned, you state that you were arrested. If arrested, then you were fingerprinted and it is the fingerprint and arrest data that the police would send over to the FEDERAL database (to so-called "Triple I" or Interstate Identification Index) kept by the FBI.

A state-level sealing of your criminal record would have no impact on the federal FBI Triple I database, but Triple I information is generally only available to criminal justice agencies. Criminal justice agencies can use this information for law enforcement purposes; e.g. criminal investigations, bond setting, charging determinations, sentencing and criminal justice employment. Criminal records obtained through III cannot be used for licensing or employment purposes.

This leads me to ask how do you know that the FBI called the company to inform them of the charge? Perhaps the company learned of the charge through some other means, i.e. it had a background checking company do something as simple as checking the publicly accessible court records for every town where you have lived. Sealing your record would prevent this method of discovering the old charge.

It's a good idea to have your CORI sealed. Since the charge was dismissed, and it has probably cost you a job opportunity already, and may cost you more opportunities in the future, your case is a strong candidate for sealing, and the sealing petition can be filed without a waiting period.

Best of luck,

Question

After my Grandmother died, my father wanted to sell the house but couldnt untill I signed release papers. Why? was I a owner? did she leave part to me?



Answer

You must have had some ownership interest; demand of your father that information, as the release would not be valid unless yo were aware of what you were releasing.



Answer

It would seem you did have an interest or he would not have needed your signature. You should ask him for a copy of Grandmother's will.

Question

I share 50/50 custody with my ex-wife. Sometimes she goes out and she has a babysitter watch her three year old daughter and our eight year old son. I never met the babysitter and don't really trust anyone to watch over my son. Do I have a right to decline that. I live in the state of California. Thanks!



Answer

The other parent has right to utilize a babysitter when they have the child in their custodial care. If you have concerns about the babysitter, you should ask your ex to meet that individual.



Answer

Unless you have something in your order, or you have evidence that the children are being left in an unsafe situation, you have no power over your ex's household child care decisions.
