Why are you doing all this for a 'buddy'? Best leave it to him to research and do it themselves, no need to get involved.

 

I'm sure he's able to make his own account and post his own questions.

Because I’m the go to in our group of friends. I filed for my wife myself. 
 

I made similar posts for my step sister and for other friends. Just trying to get some help. I know what the mom needs, but wasn’t sure if anything is different with the step daughter.
