dad wont give daughter her money because bf lives w gf and mom
ok im 22 my gf is 17 we have been together for a yr and 2 months were both very happy life is great ect. she was tired of school so she got her ged and now works full time.
we both live with her mother.
my gf was involved in an auto accident when she was 10 and recieved 36k in the case. that money is in a charles swabb account and cant be touched until shes 18 or 21 im not to sure bout which age. well like i said shes working full time and needs a car to get to work everyday. we can take her either in my car or her moms car but with gas prices these days its getting near impossible. her father is the only person who is allowed to withdraw from that account right now. my gf called the person she needs to talk to about getting about 9,350 for a car and they said thats perfectly acceptable. now heres where the problem rises, her father wont take the money out because i live with her and her mother. now we dont need another person in this world to not be a contributing member to society theres all ready way to many of those ppl, and im sure most of u know how difficult it is to not have a car. is there anything she can do to get her money? she jus needs it for a car, she makes great money but she wants to buy it out right so she doesnt have to worry bout payment. please leave me some advice so i can forward it to her

Her father doesn't need a reason not to give it to her if he is the custodian and the settlement was age 18 or 21 - age alone is his excuse.
She can always try to go to Court to prove hardship but at her age those cases are very, very difficult.
why not make paymemts on a car and get her credit started. She could use the money for collateral and it would look good on her credit report ( very important when starting out ). That way if she is paying steady and later the funds are released to her then she can pay it off and come out smelling like a rose. Just remember not to over buy or over sell yourself on the car payments and dont forget insurance ( which is expensive ).
As said there is absolutely no reason he has to give other than that she hasn't reached the age of obtaining it herself. If she really is making great money do as calif said and when she is able to get the money she can finish paying it off it's a great way to build credit as a young person. I don't blame him for not getting the money for her it sounds like he is being a responsible adult doing his job as custodian to the account.

Not saying the father needs to say anything more than no but he MAY be concerned that the daughter is 17, has been "with" the boyfriend for something like 14 months, dropped out of high school but DID get her GED, has not gone on to any type of schooling or vocational training - and lives with the boyfriend's mother.
The father could very well be concerned about who is influencing the daughter, names on car title - not saying anything like that is happening, just saying 17 is awfully young to be handed a chunk of money and Dad may not approve.
Find another way to get a car. She gets the money when the law allows, so live with it. This way she has to live within her means. Thats a good thing. Do you work? Help her then.
It's not that hewont give it to her because she is too young its because he wants her to move back into his house and out of her mothers . Hes just being unfair.
I think her father has good reasons not to allow her to get that money.
Consider she dropped out of school and live with b/f who cannot afford his own place and live with the mother, etc.
I would probably do the same thing...
Find another way to get a car... also to prove that you two can support yourselves.. another step of being adults.
so everyone thinks its ok that her dad wont give her the money for the car because her bf lives there? her dad would be more than happy to buy her a car w his own money if she were to move in w the father
I at least do. It's not her money yet. Dad doesn't have to help support a lifestyle he doesn't approve of. That's part of being a grown-up... your actions have consequences.
