Question:
Can I file an Equal Opportunity Complaint against the state showing that I was the victim of gender discrimination based on its decision in my divorce?
Answer:
I do not practice law in your state. Therefore, I cannot inform you as to the specific laws of your state and can only provide you with general tips on your situation.
Equal Opportunity Complaints are typically filed with the Civil Right Center, an office within the United States Department of Labor.
If you feel as though you have been discriminated against by your state because of your gender, it may be possible to file an action against the state in Federal Court. However, these types of lawsuits are very difficult to pursue.
You should consult with an attorney who specializes in civil rights law or anti-discrimination actions for more information.
Remember, I am unable to provide you with anything more than tips on your situation, so please consult a domestic litigation attorney in your area to obtain specific advice as to the laws in Oklahoma and how they impact your potential case.
