Your money, your say.
not our money going to pay for it, but we are supporting our daughter until she gets a part time job since she just started junior college. Want to make sure our money that goes to her doesn't end up paying for the upcoming costs.
I forgot to mention she's rather upset with him that he wouldn't listen to her and slow down right before it happened.
How exactly are you going to do this? Unless you specifically send the payment for her bills, she'll spend your money on whatever she wants to.
And with her boyfriend out of a job, it looks like you'll be footing the whole bill for the apartment, utilities, food, phone, TV, etc.
We kind of are doing it this way - some spending $$ but bills get brought to us.

96 in a 70? What a dipshit.
Not the smartest thing, that's for sure. I'm waiting to have a chat about it with him. Ya know, responsibility. He wipes out at damn near 100 on the interstate by himself and rolls down an embankment, that's one thing, but someone else in the car and moderate traffic around him that just makes it worse.
Your daughter is 19 and obviously an adult now and so I guess you're willing/able to let her make decisions on her own. But 96 in a 70 is reckless beyond need and shows a lack of respect for your daughter, her parents and everyone else on the road. "Just wanting to get there" is a shitty excuse. Drive a safer speed or pull over and take a nap.
I'd say that's a tad extreme. If there was no traffic or light traffic and he drives a performance car that 96mph could be very reasonable and not at all dangerous.
Like a Lotus Elise?
Sure.
Or a BMW M3, or any number of the wide variety of other sports sedans.

This I don't get.
1. It's not relevent to the speeding ticket.
2. It obviously bothers you or you wouldn't have noted it.
3. In my house, if you expect support, you better follow my rules. Otherwise, good luck on your own.
well, it just doesn't look really very good for the grandchild to move in with someone after 3 months AND LIVE ACROSS THE STREET from the church. Small town, people talk, etc..

I lived with my wife for 2.5 years before we married. We were in our early 20s when we moved in together, don't recall ever asking my grandparents what they thought of it. Don't recall ever caring if there was a church near where we lived either.
My god, people living together, in sin, within sight of the church! :shocked: What is this world coming to?
obviously you're not familiar with small towns and how people talk. They have a church there and just kind of care that the people in that small town. They'd rather not have this happening.

Curious myself so I called my uncle, he worked as a balif for the local magistrate for many years. This is what he told me.
$100-200 for speeding + $20-$50 for other charges. 4-6 points on license , possible suspension but if he takes the drivers ed school he can get that waived. + probation for 2 years where if he does anything like that again he loses his license.
So quite a bit.
This is in NC not kentucky though so it could be a lot different.

The Elise is not a sedan. :|

Well you're paying your 19-yo daughter to move in with her current bf (emphasis on current) - it's a bad idea in general and specifically because I'm guessing you'll be paying the rent.
I can see him continuing to pay for her schooling, and I would encourage her to continue with that and complete her education. But yeah, if she wants to live like an adult (and she is an adult) she should be paying for her living expenses like an adult.
When my wife an I moved in together we both paid for our living expenses. Nothing wrong with that.

My brother had a dangerous driving ticket when he was 19. His insurance rates went up to $10,000 per year so there was a 2 year period where he couldn't drive. He got pretty good at knowing the bus schedule and how long it takes to walk to various parts of town.
10k a YEAR? What was he doing to get the ticket I must ask?
