my son lived with my mom since birth and now he lives with me since january and he gets a disability check. and i recently went to become his ar., it don't take effect until next month and but this month the check came and she didn't give it to me for him this month ( the month of november) she has never given me the full amount and one month before she told me that she switched it over herself (with me knowing better she couldn't do it without me being present)telling me the following month it was coming to me.so either one of these times i didn't say anything to her about it because for one thing i can't get in touch with her, she not answering her phone or nothing. im not trying to sound money hungry but right is right.

If the change-over doesn't take effect until next month then it doesn't take effect until next month. Let it go that you didn't get the money from this month's check and consider it a 'thank you' to your mom for stepping in and caring for your son since birth. She didn't have to do that and your child would have went into the foster care system. She probably got very attached to her grandson while you were not in the picture, so lighten up on her for not answering her phone or keeping the money. She's probably mourning the lost of having him with her all the time. There are greater gains to be made by keeping on good terms with your mother than arguing over this little bit of money will bring into your life.

You're right, of course because that money is due for the proper maintenance of your son. I would be tempted to overlook it just to avoid family problems, but only if you can afford to function without it (and knowing that next month the funds will rightly be coming to you). So I would make my decision on what (or what not) to do based on those parameters I just stated. If you know you can't function adequately without it, try to get it by gently raising the issue in conversation with your mother. Worse case scenario: You can try to recover it in court through small claims, but it's an ugly specter suing ones mother....and judges, professional and impartial though they try to be, react to these types of things much like the general public. You have much to consider. Good luck to you, and your son.

I'm assuming the disbility check is meant to help with his expenses. If you he is living with you, you will need to pay for his needs. Contact the disability office and tell them what's been going on. Ask them is you have any recourse. They would be your best option.

Discuss this with the organization that sends the check.

If this is your child then why are you not going to the Social Security office and setting this straight?
