[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 415590, member: 7948"] They may offer payee services too. If so you may want to see if difficult child would like to have them be his payee. Having someone else handle most of the money for him that isn't in a power struggle about him might defuse some of the power struggle. And it may be in difficult child's long term best interests since you and his mom may not always be around to "supervise" him. If you would consider that I would let social security know that you have concerns about his ability to handle money independently and ask if they would require that he have an institutional payee now and in the future. That way his mom may not be able to wrest control of his $$ back from him if you aren't around. I don't know how much you know about using institutional payees. Usually they pay all the recurring bills for a client - rent, utilities, - anything the client says they want the payee to handle. Then the payee and the client decide how often he will get cash from them, usually a weekly amount, and then the client checks in each week and gets his weekly allowance to spend for food or whatever he likes.
