It sounds like you may have a claim for sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. To establish this claim, you have to prove you were qualified for your original job, you suffered an adverse employment action (a pay cut or demotion to a less favorable or prestigious job...

Take good pictures. Keep your written contract. File in Justice of the Peace (small claims) court.
We do not call each other husband and wife, no paperwork except an old rent agreement in both of our names.
Main concern is can my partner get any sort of support from me if we do split up?
Thank you
You might want a cohabitation agreement.
Affadavit.which all 7 kids signed sayin was ok. Her mama later sold my wife everything about 9 years ago.then also died without a will.do other kids have a chance of taking anything away from my fiance..
If things were properly sold and title transferred during life, your mother could not leave them to anyone via a Will or an heirship proceeding.
Do I need to create a contract or we can agree on terms in e-mail or a freelancer can sign a paper in free form saying that whenever they get paid for their work they transfer copyright ownership to me? My website is just .com, it’s not registered as a company.
When working with an independent contractor it is good practice to have a signed written agreement where the contractor agrees that any intellectual property created while providing the services to you will be deemed "work for hire" and, if a court determines that the intellectual... Read more »
Typically, the remedies in foreclosure are limited to taking the property back. However, I'd recommend reaching out to an attorney. Where is the timeshare located?
company, we became a llc. I just found out that my partner contacted the company and notified them of our llc but we didn't resign the contract. My question is, can the pursue us as a partnership or will we be protected as a llc
Whoever told you that partners can "avoid contractual liability" merely by creating an LLC--composed of the same partners who signed the contract--was wrong. Your new LLC cannot protect you or your partner.
The financial institution that hold the note and mortgage. If there is anything left over, you might get some of it.

Because of the complexity of your research, it could be difficult for a Texas attorney to advise in the brief format of this Q & A Board. That could be why the post remains open for three weeks. One option is to contact Texas attorneys directly. Although many offices are closed or not seeing... Read more »
Also is it against the law to have the buyer payoff mortgage BPO Price ? And the excess proceeds be given to me by check from buyer ?
I'd like to have some money after being left homeless by Mortgage Company.
A "short sale" by definition (usually) does not produce any "excess proceeds" after the sale.
There has been a succession of different owners. I have copies of the lease agreements. Giving the required 30 days written notice, I plan to soon vacate the premises. The new owners are renovating and leasing at a higher price than I can pay so the wear and tear will probably not apply, since they... Read more »
Why start possible trouble when you have NO concerns--and will not have any unless and until your landlord refuses to give your security deposit back. (Pet deposits are usually not refundable to anyone.) Wait.

We are being sued for not performing extra electrical work on a project that was not in the written contract.
As with most contract disputes, the devil is in the details of the agreement itself. There might be language in the agreement that requires you to perform reasonable and necessary work to achieve the initial purpose of the job. If so, an argument can be made that the "extra work" is... Read more »
I put a contract on a property listed by a realtor. It was a cash offer with a quick closing (2 weeks). After the two weeks came and went with not contact I contacted my realtor (who by the way works in the same office as the listing agent). He informed me that the title company had found there was...

You may have a breach of contract claim against the owner. I am assuming the title company did a search but don't know if they issued or were going to issue a title policy on the property. The title company should be able to provide a copy of the lien, or maybe you can look it up at the County... Read more »
On 01-11-2020, I signed the contract with the owner, and the closing date is 02-14-2020. After the house is closed, someone send me a notice on 02-16-2020 that the property had been foreclosed on 02-04-2020, and their deed is recorded on 02-11-2020. Nobody sent me any notice before the closing... Read more »
The owners title police will protect you, although it will likely take a while to sort it out legally.
The brick subcontractor was paid short about 7400 of 29,000. He contacted me 5 months after his work was completed. I have already paid the contractor in full and now the contractor won’t return my calls. The subcontractor filed a suit in small claims Parker county.
Although this sounds like a dispute between the primary contractor and his sub-contractor (the bricklayer), the result might become a big problem for you--if the bricklayer files a mechanic's lien against your property. Whether or not they can do that lawfully is beyond the scope of this... Read more »

Additional details are needed to fully analyze your wife's situation. You should reach out to an employment attorney in Texas and seek a consultation and review of the NDA that your wife's former employer is asking her to sign.
Puffington is the trademark, Ernest nornie(one of the owners) has gone astray and moved and is trying to take the whole business... how do we counter that?
I am not licensed in Texas and can't give legal advice on the non-federal law portion of the question. However, regarding the trademark, it depends on who is the registered owner and what the operating agreement for your business says. If the company owns the mark, instead of a particular...
