What legal activity could bring a single mother to become U.S. treasurer?

She just has to be appointed by the President.

Yes she can.  I suggest she open a case with the local child support office; services are free, some may require an initial $25 application fee.  Her caseworker can then take many legal actions against the non-custodial parent.

The rules for bank reporting are only for amounts $10,000 or over made in a single-banking day that would benefit the account holder, regardless of whether she has two separate accounts at the same bank.  For example, if she makes a deposit of $5000 in a checking and $5000 in a savings account (even at different branches) a red flag would be raised and the bank would be required to submit a report to the IRS.  This is also true of wire transfers, etc.\n\nIf she purchases a monetary instrument (cashier's check, money order, or traveler's checks) the amount for reporting is $3000 in a single banking day.\n\nShe may get away from the reporting by depositing $5000 every two or three days, but that does not necessarily get her off the hook.  A bank can still fill out a SAR (suspicious activity report) depending on the frequency and size of her deposits (cash always raises a red flag) and she will be under investigation.  \n\nIf she does not have a history of sustainable balances or income verification, she will not be able to obtain a mortgage.

You might want to consider a paralegal or Legal Aide job - not only will you have some cash coming in, but you'll get a start in U.S. law. Good luck!

It is hard to find grants to start a business -- whether for single moms or intact families. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nHere is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

Go to the school; they will help you with the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This will include the Pell Grant, Federal loans, work study, etc. Make sure you get this done by the deadlines posted at the school, because the state grants have different deadlines and they are applied for automatically when you apply for the other.\n\nIf you, as a single mother, have earned less then $30,000 last year, you will qualify for a full Federal Pell Grant.

she can't personally but the courts can and will not only garnish your wages but u can also do jail time.  alimony is court ordered.  when the set the payment it is done based on your current financial situation.  your best bet is to get with an attorney and explain your situation and you have to prove that it is affecting you financially.  you will still face ridicule as to why you can't make payment.  either get a lower paying job or incorporate yourself.  if you get paid under your incorporated name then you can pay urself any dollar amount u want and your ex can only take so much of what you pay yourself.

She needs to contact an attorney.

you basically have to marry her.  mail order brides,  or you can sponsor her as an employee as a nanny or maid.  but you have to provide proof of your children and the need for a maid from there.

You can hold just about any type of property, including real estate, cars, stocks, and bank accounts, in joint tenancy with someone else. You can even hold property that doesn’t have documents of title in joint tenancy, as long as you show intent to do so and state law allows it.\n\nIf she wanted her son to be able to make deposits on her behalf, she could have added his name as a joint tenant of her bank account. Note that as a joint tenant, the son can make withdrawals and he automatically keeps the money in the account when she died -- even if the will states that all assets are to be distributed equally among the children. \n\nSince the organization was dissolved prior to her death, the funds revert to the the person who opened the CD.  If the Joint Tenancy was with a person/beneficiary, other than the dissolved organization, that person is entitled to the proceeds of the CD.  Otherwise, the CD belongs to her estate.

If you cannot get the mother of the child to go along with giving you full control of the childs placement in school and it does not matter how far she lives, and yes it is possible.  You have to first be able to establish and prove the childs residency, and who is the childs sole provider.  Another thing is you have to be able to show the court that "you" can provide the best "quality of life" for the childs welfare.  There are many factors and there are some pretty good lawyers out there.  I got "full" custody of my two daughters and not that it matters, but I take a lot of pride that my lawyer and the judge were both women.  Most important, make lsure your doing this for the "welfare" of the child and no one else.  The children always come first "no matter what"!!! (Texas father).

Only if her career tanks and she needs the money.

I wouldn't think she could do it, not without going to court and making a big deal of it.  The best way for you to get this answered accurately, though, would be to see a lawyer.  Most of them offer a free one or two hour consultation, and that ought to be enough time to get this figured out.  Just do a little bit of research before you do it, to make sure you talk to someone who deals with this kind of stuff regularly.  I hope this works out well for you.

You need to speak to an attorney about your rights and obligations.  Also, why not speak with her financial advisor to find out what, if any, plans are in place concerning your mother's death.

The child must live with you, in the US, for more than half the year. Period, no exceptions. It is possible for the non-custodial parent to claim the exemption for the child, and some of the other child-related credits, but not the EIC. \n\nIt is possible that the mother could claim the child's exemption in order to get more money back, but your husband will have to provide her with a Form 8332 - Release to Claim Exemption. It's a simple form, stating that he is not going to claim the exemption and that she may. No calculations, just names and signatures. \nI commend you for wanting to help her out. I have no idea what your financial situation is, but would it be possible for you to loan her the money that she would have otherwise gotten with the EIC, and then recoup your money when you file? Or purchase small gifts that she can give them? I'd be careful with that kind of thing, though. You'd kind of be enabling her behavior. Perhaps going a couple years without being able to do things like that will shock her into getting off her ass and cleaning up her act. My ex-husband's mom provides him with money to do things for the kids, and he continues to act like a teenager with no responsibilities. I contend that if she would cut him off, he'd be forced to face the cold reality and start acting like a grown-up. Either that, or drift off and be a bum. No matter what, the kids know that you (and I) are always there and will be a stable place for them, and that's what's important. They may love their mother, but they will eventually know what she is. Perhaps she'll be different if she's forced to.\nHope that helps. If you need to talk, feel free to e-mail me:)

Perhaps working as Treasurer for a large church or planner/purchaser for an organization that requires a degree such as yours (i.e. a college/university, municipal/city manager, transit authority). Maybe even a professor of Finance for someone to learn what you've learned. Nowadays, the world of finance includes a broader/global outlook. Wallstreet is another possibility (a stock broker)? Don't forget the many avenues of the sports world and how finances run every aspect of it's engine\n(i.e. agents for those who play the games, managers who run the leagues and need someone who recognizes how much is enough) \n\nThese are just a few ideas. Good Luck! \nThere are wide-open spaces to explore.
