xshub is both a lawyer and an employer and he will not ask ANY personal questions, not even marital status, let alone child care arrangements.

You can ask questions without asking them but you have to relate any rejection to their answers. EX: "This job involves irregular hours and some travel. Are there any reasons why you couldn't accomodate such a schedule?" If they volunteer that they have to be available every day at 4pm to take little Trixie to her ballet lessons, they brought it up not you.

The child care situation came up during the course of the discussion about the hours. It wasn't that i was asked about it, per se. And I know that the woman interviewer (who I spoke with initially and again today) would have no problems with it - she's a grandmother who has custody of her 2 grandchildren.
