[QUOTE="Skool Teacher, post: 680179, member: 20029"] The child support was sporadic at best when she was younger. Her dad started to pay regularly and almost caught up during her 10th and 11th grade year which amounted to thousands of dollars. He died before she graduated and she also got a check from his estate plus a social security check. She signed the check over to me with the knowledge and agreement that this money and any left over child support would be used for college. Once she wasted $16,000 freshman year by doing nothing and not going to class, that was the money from his estate and his social security plus some money I put into a 529 college plan. The rest of the money that is left is the last of the child support money that I received before he died the last 2 years of his life. When she said college wasn't for her I told her I would use the rest of the child support money to help her when she got an apartment to get furniture, pots, dishes, etc. I had an old truck that was in good condition and had been maintained for her to drive to go to work--no car note and I was willing to pay the insurance for her for the first year. All she had to do was get a job or two and go to work, save pay her little bills until she was ready to get an apartment. She lived here and was disrespectful for years and then she stole from me and that was the last straw. Now she keeps saying give her "her money" and I'm just not willing to do that for her to waste it. I will use it to help her if and when she ever gets it together. Right now she is clueless and wants to use the money to solve her so called problems that she created for herself. I've have always used this money to help her--got the truck fixed when it broke down, got it towed, got a set of brand new tires once she started to drive, got her a AAA card so she could call them if the truck broke down, got her uniforms for her jobs, ETC... The fact that I still have some money left is a blessing and I'll be damned if she is going to get it to waste on drugs, fast food, her friends, etc... IF and when she gets it together it will be there to help. [/QUOTE]
