Only two times I rented to new divorcees (single mom/ dad with custody of teenage children).

The fella upstairs is completely drunk most of the time and on this particular night was a custody exchange with his ex and their kids .

In most cases the female will keep primary custody of the kid, which can result in the male being the one to move if they were to bicker again.  

I believe Provo’s ordinance reads (Provo Code 14.06:)"“Family,” unless otherwise expressly provided in this Title means:(a) One (1) individual living alone; or(b) One (1), but not more than one (1) at the same time, of the following groups of individuals described in subsections (i), (ii), or (iii) who together occupy a one-family dwelling unit as one (1) nonprofit housekeeping unit and who share common living, sleeping, cooking and eating facilities:(i) A head of household and:(A) All persons related to the head of household as a parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, great-grandparent or great-grandchild by blood, marriage, adoption, guardianship, or any other duly authorized custodial relationship; and(B) Not more than two (2) additional related or unrelated persons, including but not limited to, personal care or personal service providers; or(ii) In R1 zones located within neighborhood areas described in Subsection (c) of the definition of “baching singles” in this Section, two (2) related or unrelated individuals and any children of either individual, if any; or(iii) In all other zones, three (3) related or unrelated individuals and any children of either individual, if any."

Does he have custody?  

If he was going through a divorce, his ex could have accused him of something to get custody of the kids. 

Do you want checkbook control or custodial?  

@Emily RefiThe two common choices for investing retirement funds into real estate are the self-directed IRA and the Solo 401k.The Solo 401k requires self-employment activity, but will allow you to take participant loans while the IRA does not.A few other Solo 401k benefits: Compared to an IRA, Solo 401k contributions limits are roughly ten times higher.There is no custodial requirement for the 401k.You don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to have checkbook control.There is a built in-Roth component whereas IRAs are either traditional or Roth, not both.A spouse can also participate in the same Solo 401k plan.The Solo 401k has additional tax benefits over an IRA when investing into real estate using leverage.The penalties for prohibited transactions are less severe, though it's best not to utilize this benefit :)With either structure, it's generally recommended that you do not commingle retirement and non-retirement assets.

I had planned to open both custodial accounts and Roth IRA for them, then pay them through online payment from our business account to their custodial accounts, then transfer the money into their Roth IRA accounts.

You'll also have custodial fees with them.
