So as this plays out Ill update the thread on my success in getting my money back.Here are the military statutes that will apply in his case and the steps in garnishing his military wages:https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2010-title10/...Art 133 is what pertainshttps://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2010-title10/...Art 129 - a police report will be filed Monday when I'm in townhttps://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2010-title10/...Art 123a for his 1 bounced rental paymenthttps://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2010-title10/...the insinuation he broke 112A as he or his family were smoking weed in the basement (I dont really care - the precedent is set no smoking inside - they chose to break that and most definitely him or his adult step daughter or wife or his step daughters live in boyfriend were smoking pot in the basement a lot - the bathroom wreaks of it)https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2010-title10/...Art 109 - destruction of property other than govtLink to all the codes if someone needs to bring a case against a military personhttps://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/search/pagedetails.actio...https://www.daig.pentagon.mil/faq.aspxLink to Inspector General to file complaint against an enlisted Army personnel(though they recommend you attempt to handle w local command first)Most importantly for another poster in this thread - directions on how to garnish full time military personnel wageshttps://www.dfas.mil/garnishment/milcommdebt/debtc...Lastly - link to the forms - with full instructions on how to insure garnishment is successfulhttp://www.esd.whs.mil/Directives/forms/dd2500_299...

I can then spend that time with my daughter, my wife, helping others or enjoying hobbies. 

I know some parents think their kids should pay for their own education.My daughter was top of her class got hired at intel and is now in management.. and just about to take her second sabattical and take their family to Europe for a month.. but she is a Ramsey deciple with no debt.my son is a GC with a degree in construction.. 

To say the money isn’t there or you should not do it is not entirely true .just because I would not want my teenage daughter walking down the street there doesn’t mean I would not invest in the area lol why should I care my kids aren’t going to hanging out there .

I had to co-sign for my daughter twice when she was in college and I had moved out of state. 

Then we cash out refi'd the original house to pay cash for a house in independence mo. for my daughter and her family to live in (cheap houses out that way-27k) Now we're under contract for a primary and additional income property next door to each other in Florida.

My daughter is 10 and is already 5'4.

Our 13 year old daughter is handicapped, so I will always need to have a flexible schedule.

My "Why" is strong enough to motivate me, I'd love to have more flexibility and free time to spend with my daughter and parents.  

What would you do if your parents came to you when they're 60 and said, "son (or daughter), we lost everything.
