<prompt> Human: Sorry for the impending long post. Its my first time posting in this sub-reddit. This may be a complete non-issue in terms of a course of action but my knowledge of finance isnt very great. Nevertheless, Id appreciate any help I can get.I just graduated college a month ago and the topic of paying off loans has been brought up. My father is a cheapskate and doesnt pay for anything Mom covers all the bills. I was lucky enough that he paid for half of my tuition each month, although there was a 20 month period where it was only my Mom. Regarding my loans, I have 4 main ones: 3 of them are accruing interest and the other one does not until late November. My parents had been discussing paying off my loans I would pay them back with no interest and came to an agreement today to pay for the 3 interest-accruing loans. They also agreed to split the total cost of those 3 loans, coming out to about 11,000 for each of them. The issue here comes from the 4th loan that is not accruing interest and how my mom is planning to pay. My mom wanted to pay that one off now with my dad but guess what? He isnt having it. Now regarding my moms payment plan, she had been putting some money away in a savings account for me, per month, since I was born. That amount is slightly above 12,000. My mom has requested that all of it be taken out to pay for the loans, which I am 100 okay with. However, that money is coming in the form of one 12,000 check. My dad already paid the 22,000 for the 3 loans and wants my mom to pay him back but, due to his apprehension towards paying the 4th loan, he would basically be pocketing the extra 1,000 12,000 check, dad and mom each paying slightly over 11,000.My main question is what course of action would you recommend? My mom doesnt have 11,000 to just give out to my dad and keep the check for herself. Is there any way she can quickly deposit that extra 1,000 in her account which will go towards the 4th loan and give the 11,000 to my dad to satisfy the agreement? I appreciate any and all answers.TL;DR - Dad and Mom agreed to each pay 11,000 for 3 of my 4 loans. The 22,000 for the loans is currently coming out of my Dads account and my Mom will pay him back when the money arrives this week. Mom is receiving one 12,000 check and doesnt want to deposit that money to my Dad unless hes willing to help pay for my 4th loan which, as of now, he wont because thats an extra 1,000 that can go towards my loan. Course of action?  <response>: Did the check have to be a single check? Did the bank not allow your mom to ask for two check for the different amounts instead?
