Fiance, by definition, means you intend to marry. So the main question that needs to be answered is why haven't you gotten married and moved into your own home together with your child? I also question in what way your fiance "solely depends on her mother" when her mother is not providing any shelter for her. It appears to me that the best way to deal with this is for you to get a place for the three of you to live in and you can then provide for your fiance and child. Even better, since she is your fiance, just marry her. I would think that she would not object to moving from her mom and in with her husband. If she does, you have more problems than you think you do and a true re-evaluation of your situation needs to be completed.
Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You will only be able to rely on advice from an attorney who you have actually retained. Seek legal advice as soon as possible. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
I agree with every single thing Attorney Rob Gleaner told you.
Is your fiance just trying to get welfare money? is that why she stays with her idiot mother?
no, please do not marry her. please figure out who she is and whether you need to get custody and raise your child.
come see me, i will help you.
