the law says money give to a "domestic partner," unless with a promisary note or the like, is considered a gift, and the partner has no legal channels to persue to get the money back. it was a bad judgement call.
and, it wasn't a mistake to move in with an alcholic in recovery. it was a mistake to move in with THAT alcholic in recovery. its not the problem, its the person. my dad has been sober for 30 years, and hasn't had any of those problems you've mentioned.
good luck. |

It was given as a gift. Sorry, in the eyes of the law he owes you nothing. Think before you move your daughter in with men you don't really know all that well. I pray you see your mistakes and become a better parent for it, but please think of your daughter before you make any more stupid decisions. |

won't you be in trouble with the State for misusing those funds? |

i dont know truely the legal side of it, but i would say no. he doesnt owe it to you in cash, but he doesnt deserve it either. you could contact your power company tell them that you left(kicked out etc) and they will quickly take that credit away. if your using the same power company at your new location they will prob notice if you try to get power at another location.
so all in all, call report him to the company and he will have that amount added back into his bill(that should screw him some in return for screwing with you and ur daughter |

Whether he owes it or not, I really doubt that you will receive it.
Cut your losses and stop any contact with this man. He is very sick right now. If you keep pushing him you could get very seriously injured, or worse.
Good luck.
Peace. |

You won't see any money. Just make sure he can't get the same credit next year and leave...don't contact him anymore. |

If I moved away from someone like that, the last thing I would think about is money I could get from him. Forget him, he's a loser and your much better off. |

Contact the fuel company and have credit removed as you no longer live there.Then give your new residence for the credit.Just say they made a mistake,delivered the fuel to a wrong residence,that way he gets billed and you get your credit for you and your daughter.Please for your child's sake,stay away from Losers and drunks,it is better to be alone,then risk the damage to your child needlessly. |

You may feel that he owes you the money. On moral grounds you may be right. On legal grounds you may have an argument. But I cannot see how you would ever actually collect anything unless he voluntarily decides you are correct and pays you. Otherwise, you'll have to get a lawyer, go to court, get a judgment (less than 50/50 chance of that though) and then try to collect. He won't have any money, so you won't be successful without spending more time, effort, energy and money.
For this reason my advice is to count yourself lucky that you didn't waste any more of your time on this guy, and move on. And think twice before hooking up again with an active drunk (hint: a guy who is drinking is not a "recovering" alcoholic). |

It's a credit, not money in cash. I don't think he owes you that money.
Sorry your situation is rough, but I think you'd do better to cut him out of your life and move on. |

Look at it as money paid for a lesson learned.
Dont repeat your mistake. Good luck . |

Cut your losses and run! You should be happy you and daughter were able to leave and money is trivial. |

I don't know if he LEGALLY owes you any money from that, but otherwise no. You made your choices. He gave you plenty of warning by his behavior that he was a bad choice. Since you continued to risk yourself and your daughter, that was on you.
I think your daughter should continue to live with her dad. WTF were you thinking? The minute my child was harmed by a man's abuse, I was out of there, and this was my child's father! No way some unhealthy AND unrelated person is allowed around my child. You need more help than money. |

Since he got it based on your daughter living there, he owes you for the time that she does not live there. That's worth going to small claims court over: ensure that you have proof that he recieved that money becuase of your daughter and that you have proof of the dates that you moved out. |

I would say so especially after all of the crap he put u threw i am a teenage daughter myself who has been threw something similiar w/ my mom |

I don't think so . you gave it to him as a gift as the other guy said.
You are not very bright maam. a recovering alcoholic does not drink, lives by AA principles, and respects himself and others. Now your daughter, your money, and home are gone. it would be nice to know your drinking situation.
You were involved with a practicing alcoholic not a recovering one. I don't know how old you are but you are either very inexperienced or very dim.

21 years sober alcoholic. |

i hate to say this but it was a gift right...sorry but you might just have to chuck this one up to a lesson learned move on and stay far far away from him! |

I think he owes you, but it sounds like he's violent and he could hurt you if confronted. I'd take him to small claims court and present your case before a judge.
You and your daughter deserve better than this bum. Pick a better guy next time. |

It would be hard to prove and since you gave it to him i think it would be called a gift
i would take the loss and get out asap.Call you local preacher and ask them to help you.Hope you met you next guy in chruch and is a true christian |

You proably could take this man to court and get some money out of him. That money was because of you, so you are entitled to it. I hope you kept a lot of receipts and are prepared to hear him lie about you and your daughter. He doesnt sound like a very nice guy-drunk or sober. Go to Legal Aid and ask them if they think you have a viable case.
You'll have to pay court costs going in, but can ask for it to be part of the settlement. Good luck with this, and take someone with you when you go to court. |

did the fuel assistance go to pay your bill? or was it a check to be cashed and used for whatever? bc if you got money and it went to your bill then why would you go after him to give you cash to keep not for your bill, its like you got free money and now you want him to give you some too. count your blessings you have heat and it was paid for some people arent so lucky, some people have to pay their own bills. |

Your not going to get it. Move on and use that energy on your daughter and yourself. Learn to stay away from people like that men are not that important to have, although your daughter is. |
