I want to know if they can touch his annuity investment or if he cashes it out and puts it in a bank safety box, can they go through that? Also, if my grandparents' house is under my name and something happens to them, can they go after that?

I was told by my HR department that one of my staff filed a complaint against me for being gender bias, leading to an investigation and a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). During the PIP, I was given an exit interview from a former staff member with timeliness complaints, and I was coerced into signing the PIP. Two weeks ago, I was notified that the current staff member filing the complaint is leaving, and there is a consideration to fire me based on the fear of potential litigation. I've been employed for 18 years without any previous complaints. Is there anything legally I can do in this situation?

A laundromat attendant demanded that I leave the privately owned public facility because I have a service dog. I explained my knowledge of the ADA law, but the attendant and a police officer insisted that I remove my service animal. I understand that ADA law does not require certification for service animals and allows them in places of public accommodation. Is this understanding correct, and what legal actions can I take?

I have 3 children, ages 10, 22 months, and 9 months. My husband is not the legal father of my oldest child, but he is the father of the other two. My husband has left my oldest child alone at home several times, even for up to an hour when the child was five. Now, he thinks it's okay to leave the oldest child alone with the two younger ones for up to 2 hours. I'm worried for the safety of my kids. What steps can I take to protect my children?
