My suggestion first would have a free consultation with an attorney. I believe it would not be fraud if a child of the parent(s) lives in the home and cares for more than 50% of the parents care. That care does not mean taking care personal. It can mean washing clothes, dishes, floors, bathrooms, going shopping, taking parents to doctors, paying bills etc and so forth. From my past experience I would advise her if he/she has siblings and they are distance from helping do not inform them or anyone else. Just do it and say nothing. Otherwise, your life will be a mess. My parents were divorced and I helped both parents solely (with my husband). I was suppose to receive 50% and 2 siblings 25% each they found out I was in court fighting for 25%. I could not beleive the court aloud them to when they broke the law in many ways. I had helped my parents financially for years. They kept on saying I was stealing from him. My father and I were at peace when he died. However, he was rotting to death for the last 1 1/2 years of his life. I walked away from him because he had a choice of living for another 5 years without no booze and ciragrettes or dying soon and rottening away with the booze and cirgarettes. He choose well you know and I went out the door because I know that is what Jesus would want me to do! And I DID! She has my Blessings!
