Q: My mother gave me the option a couple months ago to move out, and go live with my boyfriend and his family. Everything was fine. But then a couple weeks ago, my mom started ignoring me. Then, when I asked for my social security card so that I could get my birth certificate, get a Nevada ID, and get a job she refused. When I moved out, she signed a paper, that got notarized, stating that even though I was living her that she still had all the parental responsibilities.
A: You do not state your age, or what kind of “paper that got notarized,” and those things might well make a difference. My guess is that she is receiving child support relating to you — but probably should not be, from the situation you describe.
You can request a new Social Security Card from the Social Security office, if you cannot get your mother to respond to you. Absent that, you could have a lawyer send her a note and try to get her to be a bit more cooperative.
It might be good for you to consult a lawyer. If you cannot afford counsel, there are free consultations offered on Thursdays at the self-help center; volunteer attorneys provide 15-minute consultations, for free, on family law questions.
