Answer 1

First let's clarify, the attorney didn't give you 2k... that came from the insuance company which is the standard amount to help when someone has a claim.

Now, the problem is that when you are a minor involved in a lawsuit, you need parental consent. You can use the money for medical bills, etc... even to pay utilities but you have to get parental consent.

Answer 2

Therapy money can be used for emergency purposes if needed.
