Ok, I really need some help. No one I know is able to answer these two questions for me.
To start off, I am a 17 year old female currently living in Albuquerque, NM. My father passed away when I was 15 years old and I have been receiving Social Security checks due to his passing. I lived with my mother in Texas for a year and I now live in New Mexico with a friend. I strongly believe that my mother (who was my payee for the checks) was wrongfully spending my money. When I moved to New Mexico, for about the first 9 months my mother was still my payee, but I went to Social Security and changed that because of my thinking she was spending my money wrongfully. So I now get my checks. Earlier on, my mother claimed to have "saved" my money for me in a bank account, but a few months ago she told me that there was none of my money left..........that doesn't sound right at all........
I have two questions for you guys...
1. Can I sue my mother for spending my money wrongfully?
2. I am a full time college student, does that mean I will still be receiving my benefits after I turn 18?
