[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for the ideas! I am not clear on the rules regarding parental debt.  In Pennsylvania, where she resides, they do have those laws. I am not clear on whether the fact we do not live in the state even matters. That is my primary concern. We keep her at arms length, and every time we reestablish a more regular contact, it it s problem and we regret within weeks.

I could totally see her applying for credit using our social security numbers. She still will sometimes claim my wife, who is approaching 40, as a dependent on her taxes. She basically defrauds an alarming % of companies she comes into contact with, and unfortunately... she is a lawyer. Ugh. It is not fun. She is pretty good at creating ridiculous paper trails and just making such a mess that takes a long time to unravel. My wife doesn't want to invite her places b/c she is afraid she will "accidentally" slip and then sue the other relative, store, etc.

We wish we could get a restraining order of a type, honestly.

Don't you have to provide the SS # of the person you are claiming as a dependent on taxes? [b]Personally I would be talking to a lawyer[/b].[/quote]

Yes, I am thinking of doing this, but not sure where to start. What type of lawyer would you consult. Family law? Not sure. [/quote]
