You can't keep money that isn't yours. Why does this arrangement exist, anyway? Are you helping her defraud her creditors? I would write to her and tell her from now on there will be a $50 service charge per check. Wait one pay cycle. Then from now on, mail her a check for the amount minus $50. Do not cash the check for her.
