Hi ! I need to know some important information. I filed a lawsuit on behalf of my then 13 year old son.. he is now 14. We settled out of court for a large sum of money .. The court then ordered it be placed in an account under the terms "Not to be touched before age of majority or by order of the court"
My then attorney said it has to be an emergency to touch this money .. which i am and was ok with .. but now I want to know what classifies as an emergency ? We will be homeless in 3 weeks. We wa living in a family members home .. who was not completly truthful with us .. she has since lost this home to sherriff sale and we have 3 weeks to get out .. with 4 kids and 2 adults.. problem is this .. we have a large SSI check coming but not until April .. we have no other funds at least not enough to get a place to live. The county where i live has very limited funds.. Your lucky to get help to pay a bill let alone rent or buy a place.
Would this qualify as an emergency ? would the court see that as an immediant need and issue us the right to get just enough to get a place suitable for all us to stay together as a family rather then have to go to a shelter?????
our kids are older .. its not like they are little .. this would be really upsetting to the kids as well as my hubby and I .. this is our last place to look for funds.. has it ever been done that a parent can borrow against the lawsuit moneys with court approval and must pay it back ??? We would even be willing to do that !! please help ! time is running out !
