Moral of the story: Get a Will. >>>
how can a severely disabled child write a will?
Actually, I think it's only in recent years that we have gotten paranoid enough to try to think of every eventuality, and then try to cover our behinds before the worst happens.
There is no vaccine against stupidity and you are the obvious.
You must read what transpired between the two parties but it's obvious words fail you. There are laws put in place and if a child dies w/out a will and the parents are alive, the judge must render decision based on law. She terminated her rights for child support but words fail you.
He probably didn't even ask for the money, the estate attorney had to contact the parents.
Next time don't be so critical and get your facts. Maybe someone should come up with a vaccine for your actions.
You figured wrong.
What is really going on here about her morals. He was brought to court by the daughter's attorney and this is how he got involved.
The court papers say that she left the guy with the rent money and the child and he became homeless.
She had ulterior motives. Don't tell the father that the child received an inheritance, and I won't let him near his daughter, and then everyone will think he is dead and the mom will get all the money. Oh yeah, the mom isn't bitter with her own schemes in hand.
Who is going to stick up for the parent that suffered a greater loss not having the opportunity to commit himself to his daughter because the mother opposed his visitation and disregarded and tossed all his gifts to his daughter in the garbage?
What is there to worry about this man getting $400,000.00 when he was kept from visiting his ill daughter. No money will ever bring his daughter back. You need to worry about your being critical of people.
If the mother wanted her child to have a will, it could have been established legally but I'm sure the lawyer would have needed both parents present if the mother wanted to protect the child assets. But it seems she didn't want anyone to know about the father until the day of the funeral.
Your post #47 may have been intended for someone else.
I wrote that the govt. will get most of the man's money. I don't have much of an opinion on who should get the money. I can be too critical/cynical at times, so if the post was intended for me I gratefully accept it.
If you read the court papers, he wrote "I loved Rosa". The mother abandoned the father. He became homeless after she emptied the house and took the rent money after living together for 3 years. The father wanted to support the child. She terminated her child support rights in 1991 when she did not want to receive child support. It turned out the father didn't know about a settlement amount until he was introduced to his daughter's estate attorney by a mutual friend, and the estate attorney never knew that Jennifer's father was alive.
You are a deplorable human being. This man loved his daughter. The mother of the daughter made his life miserable dictating to him when and where he could visit his child. The mother raped the father of his paternal rights in establishing a loving relationship between a father and daughter.
Remember the old prophecy: Take the plank out of your own eye before the speck out of your neighbors.
Everything comes in full circle.

Yes, this was his child. He brought her to court for child support but she refused assistance back in 1991. There was never an order issued by a judge so how can you ask for child support legally if you didn't request such support in the first place! She had ulterior motives that got exposed in the end!
Victory for the lawyers maybe
