You could leave one in every room on a high shelf, inaccessible to a child.  

You might want it to go to your parents, or a sibling, or maybe a child you have.If you're investing with a partner I would use tenants in common instead of joint tenancy; however, if it is an investment I would highly recommend some entity own the property and have the documents for that entity describe exactly what happens to the property in different situations.I hope that help clarify some different situations when one type of ownership is better than another.

I also have a $2000 a month child support order on my record and a $580 car note.

Also, there is now a child involved.

By rich I mean they completed an application, paid the screening fee and we show that their income is sufficient to cover all of their own expenses plus pay for rent and any damages at the unit we are renting their child.

For those of you who have been divorced, you should know that a judge can obligate you to pay child support, alimony, college tuition, private school tuition, mortgages etc...IS IT ILLEGAL for a landlord to ask for the finalized divorce agreement to see what potential FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS a tenant is/could be responsible for that would affect his/her ability to pay the rent at a new residence?

All of my 3/1 units have a couple either by themselves or a few have one child.

Do you want to bank your retirement, or child's education fund, or hell just paying your bills on someone who clearly doesn't give AF about their life or someone else's?

Unless the child lives in the home Prop 19.

If you are a veteran or the child of a veteran then I recommend USAA - their landlord policy is excellent and not expensive.
