His boss set a meeting at the main office which my husband made plans to attend and less than 24 hrs before the meeting she asked him to stay another 2 days.

Discrimination claims depend on facts, and there simply aren't enough here to make a determination either way.
Can you tell me what the punishment could be from this crime?
Thank You

I pleaded guilty to a charge and the court "dismissed" the other charge
answered on May 9, 2018
If it's dismissed, the charge is no longer being brought. It depends on whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice as to whether it could ever be brought again.
My question is can my landlord add to my rent after the fact and only give me 3 days to pay more rent?

If you're in St. Paul, you'll need to ask in Minnesota - because that would be governed by MN law, not IA law.
My father abused them also but it was only two dogs he did it to.

Were you a minor? Are you a minor now? What's your claim to the dogs over your parents'? Generally speaking, pets are treated just like personal property under the law.
They asked her about smoking weed and got her to give them a pipe. She did not smoke in the house. But they scared her into giving information. Now they are trying to evict us saying she smoked in the house and had drugs in the house.

It depends on so many other things that aren't written in your question.
Tax assessment for the year purchased was $50000 dollars under the amount being asked. When I offered less than asking and more than tax value I was told that if my offer was to be considered I had to give a serious offer.

Legit case? Maybe, for whatever amount of the $200 he didn't earn. I don't see why he would have to pay you for new lawn service, though.
I received a ticket and paid it online soon after. When I drove on the road again I realized the speed limit was different than what the officer ticketed me at. He wrote me for 40 in a 30 when it was a 35. Is there anyway to get my fine back or at the least have it taken off my record?
answered on May 8, 2018
Paying it = pleading guilty. Only in exceptional circumstances are you able to revisit a guilty plea. It is unlikely you would be able to do so here.
answered on May 8, 2018
It depends on how long the statute of limitations is for the charge, and yes, they can wait for that time period to file charges.

It depends. Your City's rental code (if it has one) is the first place to look.
