[QUOTE="KFld, post: 37313, member: 2442"] I understand exactly where you are coming from and what you are trying to do, and part of me agrees that you shouldn't let her have the money and you shouldn't allow her to lie, but the other part of me says she's 26, if she chooses to lie, let her suffer the natural consequences and that you should just hand her the money, tell her it's her business what she does with it and then detatch yourself from her choices. I know as parents you are trying to protect her by not giving her the money because you fear what she is going to do with it, and you also want to protect her from what will happen if she lies, but like I said she's 26 and she has to start learning this on her own. She is being manipulative right now and you shouldn't be drawn into it. Maybe husband shouldn't even go to court with her. Maybe he should hand her the money, say good luck at court and walk away. Whatever you decide, you and husband need to both be comfortable with it and in complete agreement. Don't let her play one against the other. [/QUOTE]
