Re: co guardians
Your son is legally incompetent to consent to the use of those funds to pay of your debts. However, you could ask the probate judge in your county if it would be OK. Such requests are usually denied, but if you can convince the judge that the debts were for your son's benefit, then it might be approved. But since the chances are that the request would be denied, with umbrage, then you might want to look for other ways to pay the debt. Good luck.
