Yes, I have been appointed Kathleen's legal guardian by a district court. But remember, she is simply going to Florida supposedly to visit her other, older children. If she does not return to Oklahoma I will file the appropriate reports with the court and let matters take their natural course. If she plans on staying in Florida one of the first things she will do is contact Social Security Administration and attempt to have her SSI transferred to some other payee. In that case SSA will contact me and I will deal with that situation as it comes up. As it stands right now her check comes to a bank account here in OKC. If she does attempt to change payees I will not fight it. Let her big daddy in Florida handle it from now on out. I really don't know what the court will think and say about her going out of the jurisdiction, which is permissible, but if she don't return to this jurisdiction I don't know what the court could do about it. The court's jurisdiction ends at! the state line, and I have been told before that if she escapes this jurisdiction I would have a battle on my hands getting her back. At any rate, it will prove an interesting situation. As far as my getting into trouble over her actions, I doubt it. The judge has told me before that I had to maintain her in the least restrictive manner possible, that I cannot chain her up or keep her a prisoner in a house. If her escape to Florida is seen by the judge as a harm to society I suppose he can order her back to Oklahoma and put her in a home somewhere, but he will have to do that instead of me.
