It has been in the news that if someone owes back child support they will not be able to receive the stimulus payment. I’m not sure how that is going to play out at that time. Filing jointly won’t likely impact it either way. Plus, the new tax date has been pushed back to July. -Homer P. Jordan... Read more »

If there is an order to pay child support, just because a case is closed with child support services does not mean that the order has been revoked. You most likely still need to pay. However, to get the best advice, you need to contact a family law attorney who can review all of your paperwork and... Read more »
This question should be posted to the probate area of law. That said, there is no small estate affidavit in Georgia. If you have been granted Letters of Administration, you should be able to transfer all assets with your Letters.
if she ran away again, she'd have to find somewhere else to live. What is my legal responsibility - she can't come home now also due to exposure to the virus. I've reported her to the police each runaway except this one. Should I make a report (even though it does no good)?
I’m sorry to hear you have been going through this. If you are her legal guardian you won’t be able to simply turn her away. You should call child protective services to share the situation with them and seek their guidance on how to handle the situation. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558

I assume the rental was going n Georgia.
Look at your lease in the "notice" section. It states the type of notices that are acceptable. If e-mails to the person who you sent the notice is in that section, you shouldn't owe anything.

As your question is worded, it is the estate. As is probably the case, it is the daughter. Most banks add the new signer on as an account owner. Therefore, if she is an account owner, the money is hers. If however, the bank truly added her as having signatory power, but not ownership, then the... Read more »

She can file for child support to get payments from now and going forward, but not for the past.
