How Can My Nephew Become Our Dependent?
My sister has stated before that she is wanting my nephew to live else where. He is 13 years old and my dad has told me about her choking him out, slapping him across the face, and stating she can't handle him. Tho all she does is scream at him anyway. He is now starting to do stupid things and get himself in trouble and has tested positive for pot. The father has never stayed in his life for more than 5 minutes and good care less. The mother, is supposed to be doing a detox program tho it seems now she is legally messed up on Methadone. Tho it has been questioned about her doing other things as well due to her behavior. She was wanting to send my nephew to his grandma's house to live. But quite honestly, I think he needs to be around other children in a more family like setting, so he can realize what one should be. My husband and I have discussed this before, since next year we are hoping to be in Louisiana, which is ALOT closer to home.
I have a Luger pistol that I want to give to my nephew how can I do it?
You’ve gone anonymous to ask this question, (I understand why, no criticism intended). So I’m afraid it’s impossible to work out where about’s you (& you nephew) live on the planet!For example, if you were in the UK, you must get the gun legally deactivated & certified as-such. It would then be possible for the weapon to be sent by registered post (though perhaps inadvisable). Better still, get it sent from a gunsmith local to you, to one near your nephew. He can then collect it.IN the US., it *might* depend where you and your nephew reside, but if it were me, I would get it shipped gunsmith to gunsmith, as above.Regardless of where you live, a gunsmith should be able to advise on any legal issues too.I’m guessing it’s a WW2 bring-back? As such, it could have some value, (a WW2 Luger, esp. with markings, can be a valuable item!), so it might be safest to send via a gunsmith. They could possibly also advise regarding restoration, if it warrants it?Other countries will have their own rules about shipping firearms, functioning or otherwise.
How to work ancestry.com?
Go to RWWC: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/... Try all 8 of your great grandparents. Put the ggf's name in "Surname", change "Exact" to "Soundex", put his wife's MAIDEN name in where it says "Spouse". You might get lucky. If you do, you should verify the sources. Just about half the data bases on RWWC are above average, while half are below average. There are some real howlers among the 575,787,657 entries. If you get too many possibilities, add fields one at a time; his first name, or his borth year with a 5-year range, or her first name; or, if it is a name that most people spell the same way, change "Soundex" back to "Exact". My nieces and nephews can find their relatives (The Pack ones, at least) because I uploaded 20 years worth of research to RWWC. If one of your relatives did the same, you might be able to find yours. If not, you'll have to do the research yourself. If you keep at it long enough you'll end up with some huge family tree.
Can i add my neice to my health insurance?
No, you can't add your niece to your health insurance policy just because her mom doesn't have health insurance. I work on dependent audits and can tell you that you'll almost certainly get caught eventually if you do this. In a dependent audit, you'll be asked for some combination of documents such as a copy of her birth certificate showing you as the parent, your most recent tax return showing that you claim her as a dependent, court documents showing that you are her legal guardian and/or are in the process of adopting her, school registration records showing that she resides at your address, etc. If you can't provide documentation for a dependent audit, best case scenario is that she'll just get dropped from the coverage. Worst case scenario is that they decide to penalize you for claiming an ineligible dependent...you could lose your job, you could be held liable for any medical expenses incurred by her, your company could choose to go after you for the share of premiums they paid on her behalf, etc. It is *not* worth getting caught and losing your job and/or getting prosecuted for fraud over. If your sister doesn't have a job, then your niece could be eligible for either Medicaid or the SCHIP program in your state. Your sister should check into that immediately - that way, your niece will have insurance and you won't get pressured into commiting fraud.

Claimed my nephews on my tax return!! Being audited:-/?
I filed my taxes a little over a week ago and just got an email saying that my return is being reviewed .. Message was : Irs.gov : We have received your tax return and it is being reviewed. You will receive a notice from us requesting additional information from you. When you receive the notice, please provide the requested information within 30 days. You may not receive all or a part of your refund until we receive and review the information we requested from you. If you need more information after you receive our notice, call the number on the notice So...what now? I'm a 22 year old female who earned aprox. $28,000 for the year 2012 I claimed my nephews (2) on my taxes because they're mother (who is homeless, not working and is taking drugs) does not support them in any way shape or form... Neither does the father of the boys. For the last 12 months I have been supporting them by myself. I am not the legal guardian but I pay rent, provide food, clothing, and all the everyday necessities for my nephews.... My sister (the boys mother) is aware that I am claiming them and does NOT have a problem with it.. Another point worth mentioning is that I pay rent to live in my parents home.. Up until a year ago I was paying $300 monthly for just myself but since I convinced my mother to let my nephews live at the house my rent was increased to $600 per month..plus I am responsible for a $500 heating bill for the home for the winter months... If I didn't convince my mom to let them move in, they would be couch hopping with their mother. So now my questions are... Why was I audited? Am I in trouble?!?! How do I prove I'm the sole provider for these kids? How long is this process.. And will I even get my full tax return!! All answers are greatly appreciated! Thank you and god bless
What should I say to my niece who has just come out as transgender to show my support to him? Also, his sister said to use “they, them” pronouns, but on Facebook he identifies as male.
(I’m defaulting to “they” because of unsure pronoun preference. Facebook is often a place people prefer to be cagey. And the sister may not have the whole story. It’s always preferable to ask in person or over private messaging.)Common pitfall: Try not to say they’re “brave” or making some sort of “choice”, because that’s actually transphobic.I think it would be good to say you’re happy for them for feeling comfortable enough in their process to come out.However, the absolute best way to show support is to actually support them. Instead of talking about how you feel about it, take a good hard look at yourself and ask yourself, “What kind of help am I willing to give them if they need it?”Will I house them if they are abused by their family?Will I help them shop for clothes?Will I help them learn gendered things they want to learn?Will I call them by their correct pronouns?Will I use their chosen name?Will I defend them verbally if someone harasses them, even if that person is someone I like and have a meaningful relationship with?Will I help them acquire equipment like binders or packers?Will I give them space to talk about personal things if they need to vent?Will I give them space to not talk about personal things if they are uncomfortable doing so?Think about what you can do. And of what you can do, think about what you will do. And then, when you talk to them— tell them you are offering those things.“Hey, congrats on coming out! That’s cool, hope things work out for you. If you ever need a place to stay in an emergency, or advice shaving, let me know, and feel free to correct me if I get your pronouns or name wrong. What do you go by nowadays?”That will be the best possible support you can give a trans person. Be honest about what you are realistically going to do for them.Don’t bother telling them what you won’t do. They may already expect nothing but transphobia from most cis people, so only focus on the positives.Best present: don’t act like it’s about you or anyone else besides the actual trans person in question. It’s a shame how often this is difficult for cis people.Treat their transness as something they are the most impacted by, because it is.Don’t tell them not to worry their mother, or not to confuse their classmates, or not to “ruin their future” somehow by doing this or that…Remember being trans is often painful, and is always personal, and is never optional.And, from me to you… Thanks. We need more people with your outlook.Good luck.
