You have my sympathy.  But I suspect you need to listen carefully and try to understand what you are told.  It may be that the lawyers you talked to over the five years were telling you that 1) you have your facts wrong, and 2) you have no case, as hard as that may be to accept.   The people here can't help you, and you should instead take the advice of professionals with whom you have consulted.

you can be certain that if you do that and he has already complied with the mandates you are going to have attorneys from the ACLU, and multiple other organizations fighting for the right to dignity. do you know all of the facts? Or just what you have been told. Who the hell are you are you male or female? If you are male I would be careful you might be the next one getting out in 2 weeks 20 years down the road.

I don't think they are allowed to fire you based on that because it would be discrimination.  That doesn't mean that they can't come up with some other stupid reason instead.  Just be careful and consult an attorney just in case.

you need to contact your local 211 information and referral line and ask them how to contact the agency in your area for fair housing. i used to work for such a place and they investigate situations like that, when landlords screw you over. they will tell you who to network with to get your life back together and get some forced compensation if possible, from your landlord.

I think technically, it sounds like U are being discriminated against. Although, there could be other reasons involved, too. Look at UR lease. Check if U have violated any other codes, that U know of, and contact an agency, if no other codes apply 2 U.

dont just sit and wait for someone to help you, ive been in that situation. call your local housing authority for help. they can help you find a place, and will covor alot of costs, until you recover enough to get permanent employment. the government HAS to help you. there are lots of ways to get help for this, and you just took a right step.

If you have already addressed it with your supervisor and no action has been taken, I would go to the HR department.  If no HR department exist and they do not have a discrimination policy they are following, then you might want to find a lawyer soon.  \n\nThe proper order is supervisor then HR then lawyer.

It's called discrimintation and unfortunately it happens all the time.  My best advice to you is to get a good lawyer & go the legal way.  Fight for your son.  I truly wish you the bast & whatever your rotten half decides to do, please do your best to keep a relationship going with your son, boys NEED their dad.

You should definately talk to an attorney, as the stakes of losing your rights here are too high.  I suggest you check out: http://www.referraljuncture.com .\n\n\nBest of luck.

Once the suit is filed with the court (through a formal complaint), it is in the court system. It stays there until it is resolved, or until you withdraw it, or until the judge dismisses it.\n\nNow, at some point there will be scheduled status / case management conferences with the judge. The opposing side can also file motions against you. You can represent yourself during these actions, but the odds for a pro se ("for self") litigant are generally not good.\n\nThere are a number of non-profit legal services groups that exist to provide support for civil rights cases. If you haven't already, you might want to start researching/contacting some of these to find an attorney.

Sadly it probably is.  America has horrible worker rights laws in most states, and I think VA is one of the sucky ones.  You might be able to claim discrimination due to disability, which is federal.  Talk to a lawyer about it ask if you have any kind of case.  Good luck.

Try the EEOC.  The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  They are a division of the Department of Labor and handle discrimination cases and hostile work environment situations.  If it is an issue with pay or employees working off of the clock, the Department of Labor in your state would handle it.  \n\nAlso, try going to Human Resources first and make sure to document it.  (Who, when, what, where, why)  It is the job of Human Resources to handle internal complaints.  If they retaliate against you (illegal) and you document all of the above, you have a more solid claim with the EEOC.

Can't help with that state, but there is a wonderful support and information group at http://prisontalk.com\nand someone in the N.C. forum can probably help.\nI've got a "someone special" locked up, too, and this group has helped me a great deal.
