ABLE plan for special needs child- considerations? Hi everyone. I was asked by a relative to establish an ABLE plan (also known as a 529a, I think) for my special needs child. The relative wishes to provide financial assistance to further the child’s resources, while taking advantage of the tax situation for their contributions. I already have a 529 for the child and am the primary contributor t…

Sierra Leone Bans Child Marriage With New Law A new law in the West African country of Sierra Leone allows child brides to annul their marriages and be financially compensated.

Should I sell gold coins that I was gifted as a child, even if I don’t need to? I was gifted a gold coin (1/4 oz gold eagle) every Christmas until I was 18 by my late grandfather. I’ve always had them locked away in a safety deposit box, only seeing them a few times and not at all in 15 years. I was considering selling them, but I don’t really need the money, and would likely just put the money in HYSA since I’m planning on…

International travel with minor, restraining order against child’s other parent My 17 year old and I may be traveling internationally next month (from US to Central America). Regarding signed travel consent, will a copy of the restraining order protecting us both from the other parent work in its place? We are divorced and I am unable to contact them. Years ago I was able to obtain the child’s passport as the only signing …

I just found out that I was left an inheritance as a child, but nobody knows what happened to it. My grandfather passed away when I was very young, and he apparently left me something between $50-80,000. I can’t be sure how much the exact amount is because nobody knows. I’d grown up in a very unstable and abusive environment and have no contact with most of my family. Fast-forward to today, I randomly remembered that my mom had once told me …

LPT Depending on the state where a child is born (USA) if you are the father and are NOT married to the mother, your rights to the child get really complicated. “Putative” fathers are men whom are alleged by the mother or whom claim to be a child’s father but there is no DNA proof of paternity. You aren’t married to the mother. Can’t speak for all 50 states, but you probably don’t have any custody rights in any state. Hire an attorney. Biological fathers have proof of their child’s paternity through a D…

LPT Tell your child(ren)/partner/friends they are perfect the way they are. You’ll help them build their self-confidence and be a more supportive person. For example, I am so tired of my own mother telling me I look better with straight hair or to lose a few pounds. If she had told me early on I was perfect the way I was, I wouldn’t have lived my entire life thinking I was less-than. She even dealt me the old “face only a mother could love” BS when I was small (it’s like it was yesterday). We ris…

Every Conversation Between Every Parent and Their Child After One Year of College PARENT 1: Welcome home! CHILD: Manipulative! PARENT 1: Wait. What? CHILD: Toxic! PARENT 1: Who? Me? CHILD: Narcissist! PARENT 1: You keep saying words, but without verbs. CHILD: Gaslighting! PARENT 1: I’m just thinking that if you put these words into a sentence, I might get a better sense of what’s on your mind. CHILD: You’re a manipulative, to…

Give more money to child #2’s 529 account? Child #1 is two years older than child #2. So for the first two years we contributed 10k to child #1’s 529 account.

Any place I can cosign a $2000 loan for a child with the worst possible credit ? I’m retired, my credit is great (finally). My daughter is in a jam for tuition (she’s 38) . It would cause marital anxiety to loan her the money but my wife (not her mom) and I have agreed to cosign. Sally mae declined. Then we did a “pledged certificate loan” with Navy federal. I put money in a CD and authorized her to borrow against that. They…

What to do with 10k for child’s future? I live in California and have a 3 year old child. I’ll be receiving 10 thousand dollars and want to do something with it towards my child’s future but I have zero idea what’s the best plan. I want it to be put away for her for when she’s 18. I don’t want it accessible to her father and I (I’m not sure if that’s possible?). I don’t want it to be…
