Why not? It's for your father and not you. You're just helping him out. I'm sure the powers at be would understand. You could always just email someone at chess.com to get clarification. But I myself would just set it up. I like bending / breaking the rules!
Multiple Accounts?
Sort:
I figured that it would be, but I at least wanted to go on record before doing anything

I believe it is OK, I set a new account named "Toojooo" (should be Toojoo) for my son, he will start playing chess in Jan 09 at chess.com, he will only play with the rate lower than 1000 or 1100 ?
Cayman Islands is remarkably helpful in the matter of setting up multiple accounts 
I think it would be ok you doing that but ask support first incase it is not because otherwise you could gget yourself banned :(

It won't become illegal until you start switching back and forth from the same ip address. I don't think it's even illegal to have two accounts on one person, so long as they're not used to get higher ratings by playing them against each other.

No. This is considered cheating. You may only play chess under one account. http://support.chess.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=20

It says "you may only play chess under one account." I imagine some people would want to have a separate account for blogging or posting pictures, or whatever, and thus not allow others a peek into their chess games.

I've sent you a message on this.
I doubt that's necessary chetumal. One look at our ratings and I know I'd listen a little more to you
