[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 749720, member: 1233"] A lot of the income requirements for food pantries depends on the state you live in. In my state they keep records, but you don't have to show proof of income. You have to state your income, but not show proof. I volunteered at one for a while and this was all that they did. If he really NEEDS food, he will figure out a way to show proof of income or he will eat at a shelter. Otherwise, he isn't that hungry. He may whine at you about it, but really, it isn't your problem. Did you have to cosign on the student loans? If you didn't, stop paying them. Let them go and find him. Tell them that it is not your debt and you are not paying for it. As to the car, do what you feel comfortable with. If he sells the car, you will likely still have to keep paying the loans unless the money he gets goes to pay off the car. You won't be able to claim it was stolen as your son had the car and sold it. To report it as stolen, you would have to press charges against him. Again, do what you feel comfortable doing. It takes time to get comfortable with all of this. As they say, "Progress, not perfection!" [/QUOTE]
