<< LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - A former child actor on television's "Home Improvement" who is fighting his parents for access to his $1.5 million trust fund is staying temporarily in this Kansas community.
Taran Noah Smith, who played the youngest of three sons for eight seasons on the ABC sitcom, moved to Lawrence recently with his 33-year-old wife.
They are staying temporarily with an attorney, who drew up an affidavit of common law marriage for them, until they can afford to buy a new home.
The couple drove from California in Smith's 1979 Lincoln Mark V, which he said is the only major piece of his property he's been able to get from his parents since he left home last November.
Smith will have access to his trust fund on his 18th birthday - April 8, 2002 - but he doesn't want to wait until then because, he says, his parents are squandering his money.
"I started looking through the records and found $150,000 to $180,000 missing per year," Smith told The Lawrence Journal-World last week. "They're living off my money right now when I have nothing."
His parents say his allegations aren't true.
"He has made outrageous claims that we are spending his money on our 'lavish lifestyle' but has never once come up with any evidence for these claims because there isn't any," said Candy Bennici, Smith's mother. >>
