...days a month? My husband and his ex-wife settled a custody arrangement late last year where he is to pick up his son on the 2nd Sunday of each month and return him on the 3rd Sunday of each month. Since she lives 8 hours away, they each drive 4 hours from home and meet in the middle.
My husband started a new job in February, and they were made aware of the court-order at that time. He was promoted to store manager in September, and now his new VP has said that is grounds to be fired, having to be off two Sundays a month when that is supposedly their "busiest time."
My question is this: can his employer lawfully terminate him for a court-order that was in place before he was ever hired? If so, can he sue his employer for custodial interference, since that is what this amounts to? My husband takes NO DAYS OFF other than these two a month. He recently took a vacation day and was chastised for that, even though he has two weeks vacation and it's the first one he's used since he was hired. I'm just concerned and feel like his company is screwing him.
FYI, the company is HQ'd in CA but we live in TX.
Thanks for the input.
