[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 495173, member: 59"] Before our difficult child turned 18 we took her name off everything that was connected to money. We had started a mutual fund for her years ago, it wasn't that much but it would have bought her a new car or paid a year of tuition. We took it out of her name. We also had a small savings account at our bank which we took her name off of. The only thing we left in her name was her student checking account, which was hers anyway and had nothing in it. I would suggest you doing the same for your difficult child. Hopefully the laws in your state are 21, but here it is 18 so we had to act fast. I would have forfeited earnings or paid penalties if I had to just to get it out of her name. There could be no good coming from handing her any amount of money. Nancy [/QUOTE]
