[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 704269, member: 18958"] I agree. I agree with everybody else. The issue is how your girlfriend takes responsibility. It sounds like from which you wrote, she knows that a bad thing is happening to her, and that she is in big trouble. But the question here is how she understands her problem. Does she see her problem as[I] she got caught[/I], or does she see that she [I]betrayed her mother's trust and she betrayed herself? This is a moral challenge, whether or not it is a legal one .[/I] How the bank account was held determines the legal situation: if the account was in mother's name alone (which I doubt) this is big trouble for girlfriend, as you know. If it is phrased,[I] in trust for[/I], still a problem. If it is a joint account, with only one signature required, less problematic, and probably legally defensible. If it is in daughter's name alone, a betrayal but certainly not a crime, I think. But I am not an attorney. I hope you stay with us and let us know how you decide and how your girlfriend decides. She would be a very lucky girl, if you find a way to stick with her, I think. [/QUOTE]
