I hired a home health care aide for my father. She visits roughly once a week but not less than once every two weeks, for 2 hours each visit. Her tasks include arranging medication, providing transportation to doctor's appointments, basic housekeeping, and companionship. There is no set schedule, and she uses her own car and tools without mileage reimbursement. I need to understand if I need to get worker's compensation insurance because if she is considered an employee and I pay her more than $1000/year in Maryland, I do. If she's an independent contractor or a casual domestic employee, I don't. Which category does she fall under?

In a divorce case, the signed court order states that spousal support ends on March 1, 2016, but the court transcript does not mention this date. The opposing party is now arguing to change the end date to November 7, 2016, to receive more support. How can I argue my case in court to maintain the March 1, 2016, date as the end of spousal support?

I'm considering submitting a request for a reasonable accommodation to my employer due to Attention Deficit and Depression/Adjustment Disorder. Is this best done with an existing template used for such ADA requests? Is it best done on legal letterhead? I don't know that I fully understand what's possible and reasonable to request. Are there any examples for each type of disability somewhere, or are there experts who can guide me in forming this request?
