I like your plan of dealing with SS directly. Seems it would be less complicated. You are sweet to continue having him in your life. It sounds like his parents are a bit lost! You must be a breath of stability for him.
I am glad you are happy with the legal support, the cost of it blows me away.
Hope you have a good weekend
