I'm not sure if this is the correct category but here goes. I have an 18 year old daughter from a previous marriage. She has lived with me for the last 2 years. When she was young her grandparents (mothers parents) gave her $3000 for college. Her mother and step father (now going through a divorce) put the money into a college fund for her with his (step father) ssn on the account as well as he took care of all finances and investments. She in now in college and attempted to access the funds only to find out that her step father emptied the account 2 months before her 18th birthday taking major penalties with the withdrawal since it was not used for further education. Her mother and step father had been separated for approximately 3 years when the account was emptied. To top it off he is a police detective, is of the mind set that he is untouchable, and should have known how unethical this was. Not sure what recourse my daughter has if any. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
