for me it will more so impact my D when she turns 18. we then have to obtain guardianship thru the courts for her.She won't ever live on her own. We will always make medical decisions for her. It is at that time that we apply for SSI, but more importantly she will then be eligible for medicaid.
There has to be a minimum amount of money in her bank account.
Most(all) states end child support at age 18, but I will need or it to continue. h will agree, but we have to be smart and do it in a way that doesn't penalize her.
we have to be smart and talk about this now and not wait for wait and see.

The custody is a non-issue. h is moving 1400 miles away. He did say to me he wants her to come visit him in his new place. i immediately said no.
I said it is too far. he can come see her here anytime he would like. I also pointed out that he said he wants to see her "when he can" I asked him, what about times when she wants to see you?

the kids have become accustomed to h not being here. Its been a full year now since his 3rd move out.
