What is the name of your state? MA
I am an 18 year old senior in high school, and also a high hoor student. I am planning on attending college next year. I also have 8 to 10 thousand dollars worth of savings bonds which were given to me as a young child by my grandmother. I spoken with my parents about cashing my bonds and they are telling me that they are to be used to help pay for my college education. All of the bonds have either my mother or my father as the cosigner on them because I was so young when they were bought. They are telling me that I have no rights to them even though my name is on them. I am also recieving $800 a month social security whichs comes out of my mothers disability plan now that I am 18. My mother is telling me that since I will not hand the checks over to her and since I told my dad that the checks were coming in my name that I am being kicked out of the house. Along with disability checks and her half of the social security collects child support from my father. The divorce states that my father is responsible for providing child support until I am 23 with the condition that I remain in school. He is also responsible to pay for half the portion of my medical bills which insurance does not cover. My question is since I am 18 and a considered a legal adult can my parents with hold bonds that belong to me? If my mother does kick me out and my father takes me in will this makes the child support payments to my mother cease if they sign a contract or will they need to go to court? If my father for some reason does not take me in full time, and only lets me stay at his house half the week and my mother kicks me out am I eligible to collect child support from him? If I moved in with a relative would he still be held responsible to pay until I am 23 as long as I stay in school? Would there be any way to collect child support from both parents if this happens? Is it possible for my father to collect child support from my mother is I move in with him?
