Her mother died recently and her father only gets 934 per month from his pension. The bills are quite large My neighbor doesn't make enough $$ to help out with the bills. Her father is considering moving back to her home country (Wales) because neither of them can afford to pay it off. Is this advisable? Let's say the father does move, would the daughter be liable for the debts of her mother? What do I tell them? EDIT: Actually, I should point out that they don't want money from me just a point in the right direction. I'm stymied as to where to begin. I've called up financial consultants, etc and couldnt get a straight answer. Also to the fellow who said "get welfare" it isnt easy. Especially in NYC. So much red tape, beaucracy, stress.
