she needs legal advice immediately.  this kind of procrastination can cause all sorts of problems.  she needs the divorce fast!  emotions have no place whn it comes to to legal business!\nif your mom is senile and if there is a lot of money involved, you can take legal guadianship of your mother or get her power of attorney in such matters.  check who owns the policy and the beneficiaries.  check laws in your state.  you could even lose the house and everything she owns.\n\npersonally, i do not want to own anything of value with any other person.  not good!

Good for you.I am glad you are taking action.My dad is in a nursing home and they are all bad places.The patients don't get fed all their meals,they are left wet,the are abused both verbally and physically.The pick on the most vulnerable.These nursing homes esp. the ones with the rehab centers are breaking medicare and you and I won't have any retirement money.They are big business and making a living off these folks.Your attorney will try to get a settlement and the nursing home will probably not want to go to court to keep out of the news.The nursing notes will be especially important and don't be surprised if they try to change them.They will also look at the physician's progress notes.You should have gone to the nursing home and requested to see her chart they have to let you and you can get copies for a small copying fee.You'll need help from her doctor.Your attorney will need a legal nurse consultant who can testify that she had negligent care,someone who is a expert in long term care.They are short staffed and don't give a damn about the patients.They are out to make money off this vulnerable population.Write your congressman.Good Luck I hope you win big time.

Wow, that's rough.  And I belive that you have your children's best intrests at heart, but before you do something like that talk to their school, there are programs that can help you with lunches and clothes, ect. Plus you should be able to draw social security on your spouse (my sis & I got it after our mom passed).I know it may not be much but something is better than nothing. I'm sure you've explored your options, but where there's a will there's a way.  Please use the foster parent only as a last resort. Loosing one parent for a child is bad enough, loosing two is even harder.  Explore all your options.

I personally would contact Social Security and tell them my suspicions. They may help you set her up! Ask if you can switch your payee to someone else. If she is mishandling your account, and you turn her in, then keep really good records on any conversations, e-mails etc.  Document document document.  Times, dates.  Should there be retribution, then you can turn her in again. And that would be proof too!  Good luck!

Your mom should get his money now. (If she is over 62.)Get her down to the social Security office right away. It will take 6 months for her start receiving the money.But the forms have to be submitted.  I am sorry about your dad. My condolences to the family.

once you are no longer dependant on your mother and working full time, she will no longer receive the check.  Or if you turn 18, unless you are in school full time and not working.  The check is for her to be able to support you.  If you can support yourself, she will no longer get any money.

Medicare does not care if resources are transferred below market value, as that program is not based on financial need.  Medicaid, however, frowns on such transfers.  Medicaid is different from State to state, but I can assure you that if your mom transfers this house and she is on Medicaid she could loose her benefits for a while.  Her penalty period would probably be based on how much her house is worth.  IF you are on Medicaid and receive a house, Medicaid may want to put a lien on the house. I suggest that you contact an estate attorney or Medicaid attorney in your area that can help you with this one.

Call the social security office and ask them. Amy other answer you get here would just be opinion.

I work in a bank and what u should do is have your mum contact a solicitor and have her give you / someone she trusts rights over her affairs. It is called the Power Of Attorney. If your mum is ill her doctor can sign a form saying that she is incapable of looking after her own affairs, and should that day come then the "power of attorney" will have authority over all your mums assets. This is why it is important that it be someone she trusts. There is no need to change all of her things into someone elses name. What I would recommend is that your mum's will be kept up to date so that should THAT day come all of her assets will be divided up as she would have wished.

It should say something to the effect\nTo Whom it May concern:\nI, so and so, the mother of so and so, provide what i can for her for the time being while she is the state of unemployment. I give her X amount of money as needed for whatever.\n\nSign moms name here.\n\nIt would also be good for your mother's contact number to be on there although they never use it.

I think its best if you personally help her--if worse comes to worst scenario happens.\n\nAs of the moment, try to ask your nearest government office and present her situation.\n\nI do hope you mother will get through all these trials. Good lUck!

If everything is in order between you and your mother, I see no reason why you couldn't venture off on your own!  Check the local laws and statues in your town.  Usually 18 is the adult age, but there are exceptions to the laws in some areas.  If you go live with a relative and you are "underage", then a guardianship contract would have to be amended by both partys, your parents and your live-in relatives or adult-head of house.  But I really don't think they will make a big thing out of just being one year away from adulthood for you, or anyone else, anywhere!  I say, just pack your bags, and with your mom's blessing, go off and find your destiny my child!  Have fun and stay out of trouble, ok?  LOL

can't you explain all this to your divorce judge?  that you are on medical retirement for a reason?  because you're medically unable to work, now?  you could give up your retirement, but what if you don't get it back?  you don't want to give it up just to get more sick.  i understand child support, but alimony seems a bit of a stretch.  i would consider a part time job, perhaps, to supplement income.  surely this would be okay.

In addition to all the information provided by the first answer you can also claim a mother or grandmother, etc. IF THEY LIVE IN YOUR HOME AND YOU PROVIDE FOR THEM AND THEY HAVE NO ACCOUNTABLE INCOME such a Social Security, retirement, etc.
