What is the name of your state? PA
My son is 18 and does not have a permanent address. He walked out of my house and moved in with his father about 5 years ago... Since then, his father has thrown him out also. He now lives with what ever friend will let him stay at their house each night. He just recently started visiting me again.
I just got remarried in September and didn't need my old car anymore since I got a new one. I felt bad that he didn't have a car and gave it to him. At that time I immediately transferred it into his name, he got his own insurance (not through my insurance company). He paid his insurance for September, October, and November. But he didn't pay last month... It was due on the 21 of December. He rear ended someone on December 24th or 26th because of the snow. The police came. All info was exchanged, but my son never called his insurance company to report it. The ins. co. called my son's father and told him about it and said the person in the other car is now complaining of injuries (back and neck pain) and the ins. co. said they are not paying and he is cancelled.
Question #1:
The car is now parked in front of my house because he showed up at about 4 in the morning on January 3 with a flat tire and he has no job and no money to fix it. He stayed at my moms the rest of that night/morning. I want to make sure that I (or my new husband) will not be responsbile for any part of any of this since:
1. My son doesn't live with me (But last month changed his address to my
address at his insurance company only so his insurance papers would
come here since he has no address, but he gave them his father's ph. #)
2. He is 18
3. We never have anything to do with each other until he comes for a visit
when he is looking for something i.e. help. He is only here for a visit
maybe once every week or 2
4. He has no address
Question #2:
What will happen to him in this situation? Can he be arrested? Will they take his car and license away? How will the other people get their medicals paid? Even though we don't get along and I don't see him that often, I still care.
