If an FMLA form is filed for a disability of which my doctor has written me to only work 10 hours a day, can my employer force me to file a claim with UNUM, therefore forcing me to use my disability? Can I be fired for filing FMLA? Can my employer fire me if I do not file a claim with UNUM? I live in VA. My workplace is a cabinet factory with over 250 employees, and I have been diagnosed with May Thurner's syndrome, a circulation problem, for which my doctor has provided a note stating I cannot work longer than 10 hours a day. I have not talked to a VA lawyer about the disability, and my employer forces us to work overtime of 12+ hours a day.

My wife works in California and was diagnosed with cancer. She is scheduled for surgery and plans to use SDI benefits for 4-6 weeks of absence. Her employer insists on referring to PFL benefits and requiring her to use all her PTO and sick pay first. We believe she should be able to use SDI without using PTO or sick pay. Are we correct, and what steps should we take to ensure she can use SDI benefits as intended?

I applied for a brewery license in Florida but was denied because my location is not in a manufacturing zone, even though other breweries are not in such zones either. The county admits their error in licensing these other breweries but refuses to issue me a license under identical circumstances. What type of attorney should I consult, and what legal steps can I take to address this issue?

My husband died suddenly in March. We were separated but never divorced, and my youngest daughter, who was living with him and is in college, is now considered overhoused by the property manager. We asked if I could be added to the paperwork to help her, but were told it would be cheating the system. I found paperwork listing me as temporarily missing from home, which still considers me part of the family. Would this help in keeping the house to avoid homelessness? We are in California, SLO County, under VASH HUD housing. My daughter is confused, and I have no clue how this works. Her sister also qualifies for a housing grant. Both girls are in therapy and not ready to be alone.
