Stick to it. I’d love to see what Judge Judy would say to her if she were on the bench…lol
She would squander all the money. And honestly, unless your name is on that account, you can’t take it out. She’ll come around.

This is normal problem for teenagers, tell her to take you all to court, really should just be wasting money because, by the time she goes to court she’ll already be 18!
You need to just stay Out of it
Dad is doing the right thing. And you need to back him on it. You should not try to be an enabler to help her throw her life away. If shes with a controlling boyfriend then you can bet every dollar in that savings account that it would become his as soon as you gave it to her. And then most like all be blown and gone in less than a few months

I married a control freak at age 26. Didn’t know it at the time. Almost 18 years of marriage, 3 wonderful children. He was emotionally and abusive to my oldest and myself. Oldest is now 32 and, although doing good, will never be the person who should have been. I wish I could talk to her…
Leave it in the account! She can have it when she’s 18.

When my Dad died, my brother and I got his social security until we turned 18. Then it stopped.
He could get into trouble he is the guardian of her therefore the check is in his name until she turns 18 so as long as he hasn’t used the money and has been saving it in an account for her let her try to go to family court and sue y’all surely she couldn’t win I don’t think a judge is gonna agree with a teenager misbehaving rather than a father who is doing the right thing

Do not undermine her father, yes she’s your daughter to going behind his back will cause a whole other set of drama down the line. Speak to your husband & make sure you’re on the same page. Your daughter will come to her senses eventually & dump him 
until then stick to what you’ve already told her & make sure she knows she can always come home if she wants/needs to.

Save the money so she has a safety net when she finally leaves the asshole. She will be thankful. As she is is currently a minor nothing is hers. He is the payee so honestly he can’t get in any trouble
I think you guys are in the right. Honestly and truly, so I went through this situation being in your daughters shoes. I moved out at 15/16 with my boyfriend at the time. I ended up getting the money til I was 18 BUT I blew it all and had nothing at 18. I ended up on a very bad bath and being abused by that BF of mine and ended up in the same boat after that with no money and pregnant. I regretted all my decisions. I learned the hard way, but my now husband and I have made a life with two beautiful kids he took on my oldest and we have one together in a beautiful home. But it wasn’t easy getting here. I think you guys are doing her right by putting it in the savings til 18 because it sounds like it’s the boyfriend talking not so much her. She’s brainwashed

I don’t know what state you are in, but in Ky. You are legally responsible for a child till they turn 18. It would be illegal to kick them out of the house, or let them leave before 18. Also it is illegal to quite school before the age of 18 here, and the courts would be after them. You need to check the laws in your State, because here it would be illegal to still draw those checks and not go to school. The parent would be responsible to repay all of the funds.

Her SSI money is like child support its to pay her portion of food , rent bills etc… not a savings. SHECWAS LUCKY that u were able to do it.
I wud do a spread sheet and say for example 4 people live in house
Ur 1/4 of rent is $300 a month
Ur 1/4 of food a month is $400
Ur 1/4 of electric a month is $50
Ur 1/4 of internet is 35$ a month
Ur cell phone is $100
Ur clothes, ur actives, etc.
So basically you owe us money!!!
SHE CANT DO SHIT
Trust me I know I have to submit paper work I take care of my sister, her meds, and her diabetic foods alone etc use up all her check

I’m curious how that works, does she get money up until 18 or does she continue to get money after 18 up until a certain dollar amount?
The money stops when she’s 18 unless she’s a student. She’s not actually entitled too any of that, it’s too be used for her care as child support. Let her get mad, its gonna get her nowhere. Family court isn’t gonna be able too help her. My dad died when I was young and my mom received the same thing for my sister and I

It’s actually money that was intended to be used to support her. So, TECHNICALLY, you don’t have to give it to her. However, since your husband made an arrangement, I’d follow his lead.
If this had been my situation, I would have never promised the money to her. I would have secretly socked it away in a savings account and given her a lump sum when she was settled & mature enough to handle it

Why would you give her anything when she didn’t do what she sed she would? She’s only 17 and shouldn’t have been allowed to move out. You should be on your husband’s side because he’s right. He’s going to give her the money when she’s 18, that only 3 months away. She doesn’t have the money to take him to court and it would probably take 3 months to get a court date anyway. Don’t go behind your husband’s back that’s wrong.

Don’t do it. It’s not your place.
Do what you’re doing and see if there’s a way to continue to withhold it after she’s 18 as long as you sign paperwork to not use it. She will blow it all and it will be of no benefit to her future. She will soon realize that this was a very bad decision and she can use that money to try to rebuild her life

Aside from the fact that it would be a total betrayal of your husbands trust to withdraw the money for his daughter, when he has already said “no” to her, I think you need to consider that, although you’ve been in their lives for 9 years now, this situation predates you and if you interfere with your husbands handling of it, you and him WILL (and should) have issues.
Out of respect for my husband and my relationship with him, I would be stepping back and staying out of it. You can discuss it privately with him - with the understanding that you are in an advisory (not decision-making) position, you can even empathize with her about her situation (if you can remain objective) but, for the sake of your relationship, you should be supporting him and presenting a united front with him.
I would make her wait till AT LEAST 21 and let her take you to court.

I received s/s for my daughter… I called S/S right before I started getting the checks… The money is for providing a roof over her head and buying clothes for her school, and its for school supplies and food for her to eat if she gets in trouble with the law and S/s finds out her dad stops getting the money. You tell her go ahead take me to court. That money is not for her to just go blow it on bs no. That money is to support her until she 18 that boy is pressing her stating its her money no it money to provide for her not her stupid boyfriend, my daughter friends where telling her the same thing … Thats your money …no its money for me to help take care of you her dad can go buy a car with that money so he can get her back and forth to school to the dentist and doctors appointment her activities.

Do not give her any money, even when she is 18. Obviously she isn’t mature enough to handle the money. To be honest, that money is to help raise her and it is not to be given to her at any point. It is for shelter, food, clothing, etc. I think is great that you are putting in a savings account and planning to give it to her but I would give her to her once I see that she is responsible and able to handle the money for something positive like some type of school or something. She is young and impulsive and obviously her boyfriend is also adding to this situation. You should keep the money in the savings account or invest it and give it to her once she has mature some because there is no expectation that the money is to be given to her. This is for the adult to support the child. If she decided to leave then she is refusing support from the parent and therefore refusing that money as you didn’t kick her out but she left on her own. The shelter and food are still there for her but she is refusing to take it.

Social security needs to know she isn’t living in the household anymore. My boys both get social security. That is one of the stipulations that you need to report. If the child moves, moves out, if anyone moves into the household. And she might be able to go to social security and have this boyfriend switched to her payee. Since he’s of legal age. My mom had guardianship over my children for 3 months before. She went and had it switched without me being there. To her as their payee. Just giving a heads up. Good luck.
