This is OT but can I ask all you amazing people a favor? As we wait for justice to be done for Travis I would appreciate it if you could remember my boyfriend in your prayers. Today is his birthday and he has had a few years of hell. He is in business with his family, his mother and two brothers. I won't go into the whole thing but it has turned very ugly, to the point where they tried to sue to get him out and when they couldn't do that they managed to have his son fired from the business. That's right, the grandson/nephew of these partners spent a great deal of money to force the son out because they weren't able to get rid of the father.
Now that son has sued the business because of issues from when he worked there for several years. Basically he was cheated out of hours he worked and overtime and he never made an issue because it was family but after they forced him out he found an attorney to sue them. The mother runs the payroll and it was in shambles. Everything written on calenders, nothing done the way it was supposed to, employment taxes not paid and records changed after the fact to hid discrepancies, lies being told, police being called to harass and even Children's Services were called to try and get the son's child taken away. Of course they found nothing and Children's Services won't say who made the report but it is obvious it was an attempt to harass and intimidate him.
In spite of being recommended by their attorney and having a summary judgement against them they refused to settle and it goes to court before a jury tomorrow. This has cost my boyfriend, and his business, hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees and increased taxes because they would not consider any settlement that would have saved them many thousands of dollars because they don't want to lose. My boyfriend is devastated both emotionally and financially and most likely the business won't survive because of this. Please pray for wisdom for the court, judge and jury as this case is heard and for God's will and for somehow, someway, healing to take place between mother, son, brothers and grandson, for their hearts to be healed and for the situation to be resolved in God's will.
Thank you so much.
