<prompt> Human: My girlfriends daughter 19 asked he if she could help pay for her boyfriends 19 dental issues, 4 root canals and 5 cavities totaling 14,000. They both currently live with his parents, who refuse to do anything. Neither of them currently have jobs, daughter just got laid off, he hasnt worked for over a year and only has had 1 or 2 jobs in his life.Ive told her only do it if you dont expect the money back, but she has to put it on a credit card. She doesnt want to leave him in pain, but, I say pull em! but he wants to keep his teeth, they are the two molars in front of the most rear one on top and bottom on the same side. She is taking them to the dentist to do work on the two teeth that are causing pain today, that will run 4,000.I feel they will not pay the money back, and it will cause issues with their relationship motherdaughter and in the end mom will get stuck with the bill, be it 4k or 14k. Could she have him sign an agreement to pay the money back? Would that be legal and binding? What would you do?  <response>: ughhkidsthat arent yours...or theirs...lets be real, this boy will be gone in a year if not a month. hopefully without any unexpected pregnancies.you could sign something for the debt, but you have no reasonable way to force repayment, making the contract worthless.not to read into things, but your gf and her daughter sound like this is probably just the tip of the iceberg of their mess. Bad decisions tend to be chronic.I would not get involved. Anyway you play this, your probably going to end up single, may as well be sure to take the route that doesnt cost you any money.
