We've been together 20yrs, but never married. We are both on Social Security Disability, and rely on each other in times of need. Her name is on the deed simply because I have no living relatives to leave anything to. (I've paid for the property outright from an inheritance) She's... View More

Attorney Fowler is correct and offered good advice (and she's licensed in your state).

Q: Can a municipal golf course put age limit on college student membership rates?

I am 32 year old full-time student, and was told I had to be under 25 to receive the college student membership rate. Is that legal? I feel like I meet the criteria and have the same monetary situation as a college student, and don't think my age should be considered.
