[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raising a 3yo in DC on 68k. Was making 55k when she was born. I save a little for college, 15% for retirement, dine out, and travel domestically and internationally each year. Daycare costs ate my emergency fund, but I'm finally building it back up again. We're also at a DC charter. Your nephew can attend a charter this Fall if he's turning 3 by Sept 30. Apply now, because many schools will have lotteries soon. DCPS has already had their lottery.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your brother and sister in law.

PP is a douche for challenging your credentials as a lawyer.[/b] This is PERSONAL, not business, for you and you have alot to sort through. Also, given that your nephew just lost his parents, you are probably the next parent-like figure for him. His moving to Switzerland would flip his world upside down for the second time.[/quote]

This is PP.  I did not "challenge her credentials as a lawyer".  I simply stated it was surprising that this thead was evolving into a discussion of the law, and an ensuing custody battle, and the OP, a lawyer, did not provide the most basic facts relevant to the case (details of the will for example) that would benefit the discussion.  Furthermore,  her questions regarding finances can also be evaluated by reviewing similar cases in family court, or statute, or the state's defintion of  "financial capability" as defined under the law of the relevant jurisdiction (one that was never even provided by the OP by the way).  Rather, it seemed odd to me that OP, a trained attorney, would solicit a random anonymous opinions as to what constitutions sufficient financial resources under the law, when those offering advice here have no idea of how the legal system defines this, or how it will be evaluated relative the deceased parents' wishes, or compared to the other party's resources seeking custody.

Nothing personal, just say'n.[/quote]
