ALL
ALL RIGHT. YOU STILL HAVE SOME TIME TO GET YOUR LEGAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY THIS
GROUP OF LAWYERS TODAY FAMILY
LAW WILLS ESTATES EMPLOYEE
RIGHTS WORKERS COMP THOSE ARE
JUST A FEW OF THE THINGS THAT
YOU CAN ASK AND YOU CAN SEE THE
TEXT NUMBER HERE AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE SCREEN. ALL RIGHT GABE
LET'S START WITH YOU. THIS IS A
WORKER'S COMPENSATION QUESTION.
IF THIS PERSON WAS OUT ON
WORKER'S COMP BEFORE ALL THE
CRAZINESS STARTED AND NOW
THEY'RE ABLE TO GO BACK TO WORK
THEY'RE PHYSICALLY ABLE TO GO
BACK TO WORK DOES THEIR JOB
HAVE TO PROVIDE A JOB FOR THEM.
SO REALLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS
THE EMPLOYER WOULD TRY AND SEEK
TO GET THEM OFF OF THEIR
WORKERS COMPENSATION PAYMENTS.
WHAT THEY'VE BEEN MAKING EVERY
WEEK AND THEY WOULD SAY THAT
THEY ARE REFUSING SUITABLE
EMPLOYMENT POTENTIALLY AND WHAT
I WOULD ARGUE IS THAT WITH THE
CORONAVIRUS IN THE ECONOMY THE
WAY IT IS IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO
GO BACK AND GET A JOB THEN YOU
SHOULD STILL BE ENTITLED TO
YOUR WORKER'S COMPENSATION
PAYMENTS EVERY WEEK. YOUR
EMPLOYER CAN'T MAKE YOU GO TO A
JOB THAT'S NOT AVAILABLE. OK.
SO IF YOU'RE ALREADY ON
WORKER'S COMP AND THEY ARE
SAYING THAT TO YOU I'M GUESSING
YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR WORKER'S
COMP ATTORNEY THAT'S RIGHT
THAT'S RIGHT. CALL AN ATTORNEY.
DON'T DON'T TAKE THEIR WORD FOR
THAT'S FOR SURE AND DON'T TAKE
THEIR WORD FOR IT ON THAT ONE.
OK. ALL RIGHT. LET'S TALK ABOUT
FAMILY LAW AND CUSTODY ADAM.
THERE ARE FOLKS WHO ARE ASKING
QUESTIONS THAT SOUND SOMETHING
LIKE BECAUSE THERE IS A STAY AT
HOME ORDER. DO I HAVE TO BRING
MY CHILD OVER TO MY EX
HUSBAND'S HOUSE YES YOU DO THE
COMPLIANCE WITH COURT ORDERS
EXEMPTED FROM THE STAY HOME
ORDERS BOTH ON AND OFF THE
STATE GOVERNMENT IN PROEHL
WORDS FROM OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
YOU CAN BE THEORETICALLY HELD
IN CONTEMPT OF COURT IF YOU
DON'T FOLLOW YOUR COURT ORDERS.
YOU COULD BE IN BREACH OF
CONTRACT IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW
THOSE AGREEMENTS THAT YOU HAVE
A SEPARATION AGREEMENT. SO
ABSOLUTELY CONTINUE TO MEET A
CUSTODIAL EXCHANGES CONTINUE TO
EXCHANGE YOUR CHILD. AND JUST
BECAUSE SCHOOL IS NOT IN
SESSION DOESN'T MEAN YOU
EXERCISE THE SCHOOL VACATION
SESSION YOU STILL NEED
OPERATORS OF SCHOOLS IN SESSION
EXCHANGE ON YOUR REGULAR SCHOOL
YOUR SCHEDULE ARE WITH THE
COURTS BEING WHAT THEY ARE. IF
SOMEONE IS HAVING A PROBLEM
WITH THAT AND THEY'RE NOT ABLE
TO WORK WITH THAT EX SPOUSE
WHAT CAN THEY DO? SO GENERALLY
YOU YOU'RE GOING TO FILE A
MOTION FOR CONTEMPT IS OFTEN
WHAT HAPPENS IN THOSE WILL
LIKELY BE HEARD COME JUNE.
UNFORTUNATELY IT'LL TAKE THAT
TIME BUT IF THE FAILURE TO
EXCHANGE RESULTS IN A SITUATION
WHERE THE CHANCES SUBSTANTIAL
RISK OF SERIOUS BODILY INJURY
MAY BE A CANDIDATE FOR
EMERGENCY CUSTODY THAT WOULD BE
SOMETHING YOU WOULDN'T FLUSH
OUT WITH YOUR FAMILY. GOT YOU.
OK. JUSTIN THIS IS A QUESTION
FOR YOU. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM
REALLY. IF I DON'T HAVE A WILL
WELL IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WILL
REMEMBER A WILL IS YOUR
OPPORTUNITY TO SAY WHERE YOU
WANT YOUR PROPERTY AND YOUR
ASSETS TO GO AFTER YOUR DEATH
AND ALSO DO YOU WANT TO STEP
INTO YOUR SHOES TO WRAP UP YOUR
AFFAIRS AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE
WILL THEN YOU DON'T GET A SAY
IN ALL OF THAT NORTH CAROLINA
LIKE ALL JURISDICTIONS THE
UNITED STATES HAS WHAT ARE
CALLED INTESTACY LAWS INTESTACY
STATUTES THAT SAY WHO WILL STEP
INTO YOUR SHOES TO WRAP INTO
YOUR AFFAIRS WHO WILL BE YOUR
ADMINISTRATOR AND TO SAY WHO
WILL INHERIT YOUR THINGS SO IF
YOU HAVEN'T MADE YOUR OWN WILL
THEN OUR GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS
MADE A WILL FOR YOU. AND PEOPLE
OFTEN THINK WELL WELL JUST
EVERYTHING AUTOMATICALLY GO TO
MY SPOUSE OR AUTOMATICALLY GO
TO MY CHILDREN AND AND THE
SPOUSE AND THE CHILDREN ARE
HIGH ON THE LIST TO INHERIT.
BUT THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE
THE SPOUSE WOULD END UP
INHERITING ALONG WITH YOUR
PARENTS? AND WHAT IF YOUR
CHILDREN ARE MINORS THEN THAT
COULD CREATE MORE PROBLEMS WHEN
WHEN MINORS INHERIT? SO IT IS
IMPORTANT TO MEMORIALIZE YOUR
WISHES IN A WILL TO AVOID SOME
OF THOSE LEGAL PITFALLS AND
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR WISHES ARE
CARRIED OUT NOT THOSE OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY. GOTCHA. OK.
NICOLE THIS IS A STORY FOR YOU
A QUESTION FOR YOU IS AN
EMPLOYER LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO
NOTIFY EMPLOYEES OF SOMEONE
THAT HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR
CORONA VIRUS EMPLOYERS SHOULD
TELL THEIR EMPLOYEES THAT'S
CURRENT GUIDANCE RIGHT NOW. IF
THEY'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE
CORONA VIRUS IN THE WORKPLACE
AND THAT ALLOWS THOSE EMPLOYEES
TO QUARANTINE AND FOR SAFETY
FOR EVERYBODY. SO IF FOR SOME
REASON YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOUR
EMPLOYER HAS DONE THAT WHAT
SHOULD YOU DO. CALL A
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. OK.
BECAUSE WE GET THAT QUESTION
OFTEN THEY'RE LIKE I DON'T
THINK MY EMPLOYER IS DOING WHAT
THEY SHOULD? THEY'RE NOT
CLEANING THE WAY THAT THEY
SHOULD? YOUR YOUR
RECOMMENDATION IS TO CALL THE
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR FIRST. YEAH
I WOULD HURT OF THE
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT FIRST YOU
TALK TO THE EMPLOYER AND SAY
HEY WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING IS
NOT GOOD ENOUGH OR DO SOMETHING
AND IF THEY WON'T ASSIST YOU
THEN CALL THE DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR. GOTCHA. AND VERY QUICKLY
CAN I FILE A COMPLAINT OF MY
BOSSES AREN'T PROVIDING HAND
SANITIZER OR GLOVES. YOU CAN
ALWAYS CALL OCEAN OK. THAT IS
THE PLACE THAT YOU WOULD MAKE
THAT COMPLAINT. ALL RIGHT.
