The grandparents hired a local attorney & filed suit.They and have been offered a settlement,and may have already recieved money. My g/f has joint with her having phisical custody.The father is paid under the table to avoid C/S ,past due c/s,past taxes,collections,etc.Who gets the settlement? does the mother have any legal rights to this settlement. Thanks in advance. |

| No. Why would she be entitled to the grandparents' settlement? EDIT: Oh, I see - the CHILD was injured. Ok - the answer is still NO. It is the CHILD'S money

minor suitYes, the grandparents bankrolled the suit. And they have sued others in the past. They hide any income to injured childs father for tax, c/s ,collections,etc. The father does not have a checking account, file taxes, or own anything on paper. It will be additional insult to injury if they sue using this child enabling them to hide even more from the c/ mother who actualy raises this child. So could I hire an attorney and sue on the child's behalf too ? Sorry for lapse in time, and grammer. |

| The child's suit has already been settled. Again, it is the CHILD'S money!
