However, when I received the actual birth certificate he was listed as a FEMALE. I have been fighting with the TN DEpt of Health for many many years now. I was told that I would have to pay to have it changed and that it would have to go to court, which would be around $500. I don't have the money for this. I have 3 other children to take care of! Afterall, this was a mistake that either the hospital or the Dept of Health made, why should I have to pay for their mistakes? He will be a senior this year. Many colleges are looking at him for football. Also many all girl schools are sending him stuff! The DMV listed him as a female because that's what it stated on his birth certificate. I know this has got to be embarrassing for him! What are my options on the matter? I have recently emailed the Dept of Health twice with no response. By the way, I live in Tennessee. ]]> Government Agencies amyguilmenot http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=158645 http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157979&goto=newpost Thu, 02 May 2013 03:38:35 GMT I am trying to help my friend obtain medi-cal(California).

She currently lives in San Mateo County with her elderly mother who is taking care of her. She owns a home in Sonoma County, but it is not occupied as she said it is in unliveable condition. The house is under her and her ex-husband's name, and she has somehow lost touch with her ex-husband years ago, and he does not seem to care about this property. According to her, she cannot sell or rent out the house, and has no money to revovate it. She is currently disabled and homebound. Is there any way she could qualify for Medi-Cal and IHSS? Her income is below 900/month.

Thank you. ]]> Government Agencies shinwa http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157979 http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157821&goto=newpost Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:15:15 GMT A city council in a CA town will not release the names of the candidates for police chief.

Is there a public document I could request to get the names, or, is this confidential information? ]]> Government Agencies huntsab http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157821
