You'll need to add the question details, liliacben

[lilacben]

As I was saying my son in law and daughter. He is an achololic and gambler. has got no end of loans and stolen money from my daughters purse. He went out drinking and gambling on his phone which my daughter found out about. She had now kicked him out... For good this time we hope. Anyway we got into his gambling sights and it had £900 in it so paid it into my account as daughter was worried he would lose it all. The bank account only in his name. Now he has contacted the gambling Sight who are looking into it. ? how do I stand?

[lilacben]

Plus they have three children. 14. 12 and 8. He says he is not going to give my daughter any money for her to feed the children. He also took. money that was being saved for a family holiday. plus he has taken the car.?

[lilacben]

So sorry fiction,my post wasn't being rude to you when I said as I was saying. our posts crossed. I was just saying that because I pressed the wrong button on my phone by mistake and it sent it too quick.

sorry lilac but theft is theft in the eyes of the law. You can't steal from your son in law because of what he has done to your daughter.

[SirOracle]

Don't think the Bookmaker should have paid your SIL's cash into your bank account.

Reading all your posts I would think that your daughter should be seeing a solicitor asap,to get things sorted out.

[TWR]

The account is in his name, his money.

[ummmm]

How did you/your daughter get into his gambling account?

[lilacben]

She knew his password as he always used the same one.

[ummmm]

Are they on talking terms?

[shoota]

I think that your daughter took charge of the money temporarily with no intention of permanently depriving her husband of it in order to safeguard your families interest.

[lilacben]

Only for him crying and saying he is sorry and will not do it again. Heard it for the last 16 years. And he loves them blar blar. Then he gets angry and starts shouting at her again.

[lilacben]

Shooter. Yes that is what she did it for. with no money. 3 children and no car,..he has left them with nothing!

[yogi-bear]

Two wrongs dont make a right, lilacben....what you did is called stealing....and even though he is not going to win any awards of Husband/Daddy of the year, you took it by deception. She probably took it as she knows if it stays in the account, he'll spend it, so was protecting it
Please go and see a solicitor for help and assistance, He's taken the holiday money, said that he's not going to contribute to his children's well-being and taken or is that stole the car.
Your daughter has problems...address them with her to get through this bad time and if you need incentive....think of your grandchildren. Best of luck x

[sinderella]

I think you did the correct thing!
he must have been drunk when he asked you to take out the money from his account and spend it on the kids due to his gambling and drinking problem
thats when he gave you the password!!

[gness]

Shoota and Sinderella would make a formidable couple......listen carefully to them, Lilac.....If your daughter is able to keep that money somewhere safe.....as your son in law asked her to do .....that must help prove she didn't steal it but was carrying out his sober wishes....x

[lilacben]

sinderella, no he didn't ask me to take it out my daughter did as she thought he would lose it all. that way she was hoping because he took all the other money there would be some for her and the children to live o.. she has told him it is in a safe place and not a penny has gone from it. She has asked him if she can have half and,he is refusing.

[Peter Pedant]

Lots of answers
as of late of variable quality

No I dont think Shoota and Sindy deserve a medal
as this is a the LAW site so the answers have to be well you know near the law of the Land. [They arent ]

You need to go to the CAB

I think you are looking at repaying the money to him

[no there isnt a doctrine of implied consent ( to your taking it ) because or on account of his being drunk ( he's possed so he consents to anything ) ]

Take advice and face the possibility of paying it back

Itis not yours and so you shouldnt have it

[gness]

Poppycock, Peter......in a rare sober moment he asked her to make sure he didn't waste the money.....he wanted it to be there to help support his children....don't let me get my hands on it....he said....

In his cups he says otherwise......

Can you prove otherwise?
