Honestly it is really hard right now to find a job. My Fiancé is 28 and a level one sex offender and he is having a hard time getting a job. We have been to Work Source and he has tried to do the Everyday Staffing thing but still hasn't been able to find a job. All I can say is just to keep trying and keep your head up.
I have known my fiancé for 9 years now and we have been together for 2 years now. He is a level one and has no restrictions and has done everything he was suppose to do. He is no longer having to report to DOC. I know both sides of the story but we are having the hardest time finding a place to live. No apartments with except us and we are having a hard time with him finding a job. I had to have my kids live with family do to not being able to get a place and lost our place we were in before cause the Landlord decided she didn't want a sex offender in her complex do to people causing problems. I need some advice please I love him as do my kids, We are in this for the long haul but there's got to be something we can do.

If he has no restrictions, how did the landlady decide he is a sex offender? Is he?

I think your threads need to merged. We can give advice only if we know the whole story.

Even level one (honestly I don't know what this means) with no restrictions , I assume still has to be on the sex offender registry listing currant address.
Is this correct ?

Perhaps this is more a question for one of the Law forums.

Question... Why would you want to have a sex offender around your children? Have you chosen him over your children? That's not a very smart move.

I am having all sorts of issues here, first you give up your kids ( let them live somewhere else) just to be with this man.
Sorry you rate him over your kids. This is really hard for me to agree or accept.
To be honest no one wants a sex offender around, I don't want one living in my rental houses or next door to me either.
So he is having to deal with it. *** of course you did not give us both sides of the story so we have to decide our ideas on it

You can't force someone to let you rent a place. They have a right to turn you down, job or no job.
Like Chuck said, no one wants a registered sex offender around. It's the price you pay when you commit a crime of this nature. Now you're paying the price because you choose to be with him.
Here's what I found when I googled Level 1 sex offender restrictions;
A sex offender registry is a system in place in a number of jurisdictions designed to allow government authorities to keep track of the residence and activities of sex offenders, including those who have completed their criminal sentences. In some jurisdictions (especially in the United States), information in the registry is made available to the general public via a website or other means. In many jurisdictions registered sex offenders are subject to additional restrictions, including housing. Those on parole or probation may be subject to restrictions that don't apply to other parolees or probationers.[6] Sometimes these include (or have been proposed to include) restrictions on being in the presence of minors, living in proximity to a school or day care center, or owning toys or other items of interest to minors.
Megan's Law is designed to punish sex offenders and reduce their ability to re-offend. The law is enacted and enforced on a state-by-state basis. Most U.S. states also place restrictions on where convicted sex offenders can live after their release, prohibiting residency within a designated distance of schools and daycare centers (usually 1,000 - 2,000 feet).
Is he even allowed to be near your children?

You really need to get your priorities straight. How did you meet this man and what is his offense?
Would you trust him alone with your children?
