Our child was awarded damages in the Circuit Court following an injury. As a minor, we have been told that the damages will not be paid to him immediately but will be held by the Court. We have 3 questions:
1. What age will he have access to the settlement? 18?
2. Will Interest be paid on that amount?
3. The only proof we have of the amount is a small receipt. Should we have something more?
The size of the receipt is not important. I was just surprised that we had not been given anything more official e.g. a court document detailing the outcome of the case.
