Legal Question in Family Law in California
My mother's husband recently got himself declared "designated payee" on her SS check. The check came to the house so she was very aware something was strange when his name was on it (TO him FOR her). She wants very badly to come and live with me because he treats her horribly (deprives her of heat and even an electric blanket). She was aware enough to call and explain the situation to me. They live in AZ and I in CA. What steps would I need to take to let her regain control of her finances if she can get here to CA.

You need to contact your local Social Security office to determine what might be done on behalf of your mother.
