Can a person receiving Social Security ask a child for support/alimony?


My stepkids mother has filed a suit against them saying she can not support herself. She receive SS (30 year job ) received over 90K when she was laid off. Has a 120K house, a Rolex, moral car, etc. etc. The kids have nothing one have a min wage part time and pays child support, the second is disabled and gets only $500 from SS and have a baby and the third does not work and has two kids all three live within rented houses. My husband did not ask for his part of the house and left it to the kids, they are asking for the money and she says she can't wage it. And aside from this they have to pay her lawyer. What can i do to back? Is there a way to get her ridge records? The suit is to get back at them for requesting what my husband not here them. Someone please give me some advice I can forward on to them. In the divorce settlement it was stated that when the youngest child turns 18 she (the mom) would present them in $ my husbands half of the home. Everyone knows she have money. How can I help them prove it? PS: She is not a good mom. Kids left her and come to live with me as soon as they were big enough.
Best Answer:
I enjoy been around a long time, and never heard of anyone, parent or not, being this greedy and grasping. She will not win. A child have no duty to support a parent, ever. Moving on to the house - a judge may likely rule that she be granted a life estate surrounded by the house, and that upon her demise, the remainder of the home go to the kids. I wouldn't count on the kids being able to force her out of what be the marital home. How did your husband leave it - in trust until they are a faultless age? And they don't have to pay her lawyer until a consider rules they must. That is standard language in all complaints.
Wow that is a new one on me. Why do they have to salary her lawyer? If she hasn't won any case, they shouldn't have to compensate her lawyer. It sounds to me like a shady lawyer trying to bully the kids into giving her what she requests. They should split the cost of their own lawyer and counter-sue for anything they have already paid.
In 20 years, I've see enough extreme child support cases, that nothing surprises me. Outside that an adult child be suing her widowed mother because she wanted to sell the family home. The daughter said that beneath family tradition, the homes are suppose to go to the oldest child, and not be sold. Another good bag is Marcia Clark, the Los Angeles County Assistant Prosecutor for the OJ Simpson case. She earned $180,000 a year. Gordon Clark was an architect and stay-at-home dad, doting on his children while she put surrounded by 16-hour days, 6-7 days a week. He earned $40,000 a year. Marcia Clark thought it was demeaning to herself and her children for Gordon to be staying home and caring for the children, so she file for divorce and custody. She hired a live-in nanny, and staff to take care of the children, than filed child support, plus extra to cover some of the child safekeeping costs. He was paying $1500 a month. After the OJ Simpson trial began, Marcia Clark filed for an increase within child support because of her additional expenses for makeup, clothing, and shoes for the cameras. I know this because I got a copy of her case wallet, one hour before she filed a motion to have the wallet sealed. I had an attorney in Los Angeles who moved hastily.
