My husband (separated) and I have a son. He was involved in a bad accident in March. He is in a high level coma...cannot speak, stomach tube, ect. and is in a rehab facility. I signed over my rights to guardianship to his mother b/c we were on the way to divorce and it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. I was told that because she won't sign the release forms, it stops my husband and my son from qualifying for social security benefits. She just doesn't want me to have anything else to do with her son...I understand that, but it's not possible when we have a child together..I think my child and I am entitled to some help but she is refusing to sign any paperwork that will help us out. I can not get any support from his family. Does anyone know what to do??? Please help,...I'm running out of funds!

Depends... if your legally separated or not. If legal separation then it might... Wait were they legally processed and signed by judge? If yes, then just refile to have the authorization set aside or just file a new motion for legal custody etc... get a lawyer if you dont know how to file these.... but by law can do yourself.... Contact Legal Aid Society or Law School in your area if poss...sometimes they will do for free or on sliding scale

Get a lawyer.I went through something that is some what similar to your problem.You are able to receive ssi,first thing you should do is go to ssi web site and read up on it,as long as you are still married you are intitled to the benifits.
