What is the name of your state? FL, but this is about someone in the State of TN
My father in law is 70 years old. He has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The problem we see is his near 50 year old girlfriend. He gets about 1100 a month in SS, his home is paid for and he maybe only owes for a couple vehicles, one he has give to the GF. He also works because he said he "has" to. The reason we see (he has 6 kids, all grown) he has to work is this girlfriend. She is there every Friday for payday and also around the first of the month for SS day. She did live with him but now lives in her own place which he pays the mortgage on. It is obvious she is using him for money. She also tells him to "leave his kids" out of his illness/life.
What we want to know is there any laws in TN that will protect him from women like her? Not sure if he willingly gives her the money or how she gets him to give it to her. His children are concerned for his health and welfare. He does not have to work but does so because of the GF. Of course once he starts his chemo/radiation he may not be able to continue. She is married to someone else, but uses him for money etc.
Is there anything his kids can do? It is not like they do not like her, she went to school with one of the daughters, but they do not like that she keeps taking his money and using him for her own benefit. His wife passed away a few years ago. Any advice is appreciated. Of course we understand this just may be one of those situations where the kids can do nothing to protect their dad.
