[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you spoken with your brother about them providing financial support for her, so you don't have to take on that financial burden?[/quote]

Yes, that's part of why we sought out a lawyer's advice. How to set up some sort of child support, health insurance, her college fund, etc. [/quote]

GOOD, I'm really glad to hear that.  Has your brother said he would offer financial support, or do you think you may need to go through the courts?[/quote]

Oh, I'm fairly certain this will be court-ordered. Thank god the attorney got a thing from court freezing all Niece's bank accounts - she has one that has monetary gifts from relatives for her entire life, her college account, etc.[b] My brother was like "I can't believe you think she'll actually go to college! She's a welfare girl now."[/b] [/quote]

Wow.

OP, I'm going to add to the "You're amazing" PPs. You and your DH are doing a wonderful thing. I cannot even imagine the rage I'd feel if one of my siblings had this attitude about their child.

How are your parents handling all this? You mentioned that your mom had a talk with your niece and your dad was helping convert the porch, are they able to help in other ways or financially as well? [/quote]
