can a single mom work in washington state?
My younger brother is going through a divorce in Washington state right now, and his wife is telling him that she can't work because there is a law that does allow single parents to work during the first year of a child's life in Washington state. Does anyone know this to be true? And if so, can you please provide some references? Thank you!

Answer 1 :
There is no such law.
Answer 2 :
Pure Poppycock.
Answer 3 :
The wife is either bull*****ing, or she has been given wrong information. The State of Washington will not enact any law that prevents a mother from working to support and feed her baby. NO state will do this.
Answer 4 :
His ex is very creative in the lying department, isn't she?
Answer 5 :
Your brother's wife is full of shit, no such law exists. She is bluffing him to attempt to gain alimony and child support.
Answer 6 :
There is no such law prohibiting any person from working at any time. If she wants to work while in the delivery room, no law prohibits it. I cannot send you a link to the absence of something
Answer 7 :
Ignore her. Let it come out in the trial. The judge would probably get a good laugh over it. And if that's the basis for her claim int he divorce, it's over and done. Not going to happen.
Answer 8 :
Not true in the least bit, in Washington or any other state. Sounds like she just wants to mooch of off him while staying home with the kid.
