What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Husband, 56, terminated ("mutual agreement" on contract) from 12 year sales position w major co. . Agreement MUST be signed within 21 days or they will rescind 5 weeks severance.... Of course agreement states he will not sue for age discrimination, waives Sec 1542 of CA civil code. It looks like they have crossed all the 't's on proving their case against him, but they are blackmailing him into signing, which makes me wonder. Should we take this agreement to a lawyer? I'm not looking for more $$, as much as just not wanting them to get over on us. AND of course now we have no money to pay a lawyer and will be using our recently declining retirement investments to keep from losing our home of 30 years.
Thanks for this service!
