Hello all. Planning to contact my lawyer about this too…but working nights and need to sleep first so thought I’d post just to see what people say.
Ex husbands family (grandparents, aunt, cousins) threw daughter (18) a high school graduation and gifted her $2700.
Ex took money from her at the party ‘to keep it safe’. Now refusing to give it her. Says he needs to disperse it as he sees fit because she can’t be trusted with the money.
My stance is that she’s 18, leaving for uni in two months and has every right to use this money for whatever she wants as it was gifted to her. She wants to shop for dorm room, get her car detailed, buy an outfit for frosh week etc.
If he won’t give it her what are the options?
Thoughts/opinions?

You may get better options by posting this in /r/LegalAdviceCanada but if somebody stole my money and refused to give it back I’d probably call the police.
