June 2018
We made changes and added information to our California Workplace Protections page in English to reflect changes in the law. Spanish translation coming soon!
Due to an oversight, our California Workplace Protections page did not include a 2014 change to the law that added victims of stalking to the list of protected persons. We fixed that now (in Spanish and English) and we apologize for our error.
We added a new question to the Restraining Orders section in 26 states (including 11 states in Spanish) called If I don’t have a hard copy of my out-of-state order, how can law enforcement enforce it? The rest of the states will soon be added!
To make the information easier to find, we moved the child support information from the California Custody section to a newly-created Child Support section, in Spanish and English.
