Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
College money
I am 17 years old and have been
putting money into an account for
college since I was young. There was
$10000 in it last I checked. When my
parents divorced my dad was left in
charge of it. He told me he spent it all.
Can my mom sue him?

Re: College money
Part of the answer depends on how the account was set up. You are actually somewhat fortunate that this came up in a divorce hearing because divorce courts have more power to deal with these problems than other courts do. I recommend speaking with an attorney about your options, either personally or through you mother, to get this money back.
