If I’m unable to work because I’m disabled. Can the mother of my child sue me for money even if I have medical evidence? I just gave the court my documents files for proof but the mother of my child is still pursuing a lawsuit to give her money when I can not work at all.

File a modification on child support to adjust your payment while you are in that situation. Do your best to get a job when you can so you can still support your child. It is every parent's responsibility to provide for their children.
Talk to your attorney to know how best to proceed.

The short answer is: Yes. Go ahead and form the LLC. Let it sit until you are ready to make use of it. Unless there is something you have not disclosed, I don't see how forming a LLC will affect your benefits. However, once income starts flowing through your LLC, it may or may not affect...

A friend is currently homeless and has applied for SSI benefits in Tennessee. They have not been approved or denied. They wish to move to Iowa where I live. Will they need to start a new application process, or can they just notify the Social Security Office of a change of address?
answered on Aug 30, 2022
Your friend can just update her address with Social Security when she moves at either the local Social Security field office or by calling the national Social Security number at 1-800-772-1213. Since Social Security is a Federal program, it will carry over when she moves to a new state. There is no... Read more »

answered on Aug 3, 2022
Sounds like the conservatorship may have been in place because of your son's age at the time (under 18). At some point, it was closed because 1) he was over 18, and 2) his only source of income became his SSDI, for which a payee serves the same purpose as a conservator.

Most often, it would be to the parent with primary custody / recipient of child support, in lieu of a calculated support amount.
Friends mom passed away she’s next of kin but has to create an estate. Would this affect/take away her disability.

Friend needs to consult with a competent TN attorney, and not announce this on a public forum. And yes he may be rendered ineligible for SSI.
I am wondering if there is anything else I can do. I applied many times already. And almost lost hope. I hope I can get help
