About Custody and SSI
My nephew receives SSI for his disablility of Autism. My family wants me to go get temporary custody of him while my sister is in rehab.
The reason they want me to do it is because I stilll don't have much of an income and my mom has her SSI and pension checks. My family thinks that being that my mom has an income that my nephews SSI will be reduced because mom has an income and that will remain the same if I take custody of him.
Does anyone have any idea if this is close to the truth or not? I only want what is best for my nephew.
He asked me last night if he could start calling me mom. I think it is sad that he does not want to talk to my sister or see her. Thank you for our reading this. Any feed back will be greatly appericated.
I just want to do what is right for him.
