When I was hired for my recent job-part of my contract required me to move to the town where the job was and I did. I uprooted my family and moved. Then-about a week ago, my boss told me that they were moving me back to the corporate office (an hour away) and giving me a different distict (which requires travel up to 75% of the time) to oversee-with no increase in pay. I told them I just couldnt do that since I just moved and I have 3 kids, to which they responded I either take the other position or resign all together. I subsequently resigned but now I am stuck in the town where there are no other jobs that pay what I was making before. Do I have a case to sue this company so they can help me move back to my original town?

Since you resigned probably not. If they would have terminated you that would have been a different story.
Now if on your letter of resignation you stated the reason you was having to resign was because of the way the company was moving you, and since you had recently moved at the Company's request you were not financially able to move again so soon without the company paying the moving expenses.
If you put something along those lines on your letter of resignation you might have a case. Hope you kept a copy of your letter of resignation.

I'm not absolutely for certain but if there is no discrimination involved then you are pretty much S.O.L. Since, they are offering to return you to the corporate office which is within a reasonable commuting distance they have probably covered their bases. I suggest contacting a local legal clinic or look in the phone book for an attorney that will give you a free or low cost consultation. Good luck.
