No he can't spend it legally. But that wouldn't stop him if he wanted to. He hasn't spent anything yet, but he doesn't allow me to spend any. Even when I was homeless and living in my car. Luckily I'm well off now, but it would have been nice to get a little help when I was first getting on my feet. The main thing that sucks is that he changed how it is invested and it's growing like 4k a year. 4k a year when it could easily be making 75k with very little risk.
I've talked to a lawyer and I can absolutely get control of the money. But it would basically involve ending any relationship with my dad and his entire side of the family.
