No I haven't but (it sounds like its a friend) and it sounds like she can get help through a pro-bono place , or a low income based legal services . YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED  at what some places consider LOW INCOME . My sisters husband brings home at least $400.00 a wk (in winter) and at least $600.00 a wk. in summer , and they have a 3 person household . They get approx. $46,000 a year bring home and they get help from W.I.C , Daycare Asst. , food excetra . So tell her - or help her , find those services .

I think you should move to one of the suburbs like Alrington or Irving because some parts of Dallas and Ft Worth are a little rough. I've also lived in MD and was in the military so if you need more help email me @ caramelsundae1077@yahoo.com.

No i don't. I am a single mother, i can't even move out of my parents house because everything cost so much. I could get 2 jobs but then the cost of babysitters would spend all my money and then i wouldn't have time for my child.\n\nGovernment doesn't want to help anyone unless you need all there help. They won't just give you a little boost. \n\nIts hard to find a good job with decent pay. i feel bad for the children growing up in todays world that all.

Contact your local social services.... they might be able to help you...that was how I got my job babysitting for low income families on the aspire program. It might be different state to state, but I am sure they will probably be able to steer you in the right direction. Good Luck.

unless you are planning on living in a cardboard box, or are filthy rich, you better be saving!!! minimum to set aside is 10% of your income, but that is bare bones minimum. don't count on the government of any country to help you, and if they do, it will be subsistance level only, don't expect to be warm and well fed. you have only yourselves to count on. I certainly hope your children will take care of you, but that mostly depends on how you raise them. are you raising them to believe that family is important, and that old people are to be respected and honored? are you raising them to be responsible adults and to have respect for others and themselves? even so, they could have tragedies in their own lives that prevent them from being there. and when you consider that people are living longer than ever, how do you think you are going to pay for your food, housing, medicine for all those years after retirement if you don't have some set aside? I bet if you go into a senior center or retirement home in any country, you will find plenty of people going without medicine, food, and other important things because their social security or government benefits just aren't enough. contact a financial advisor or do some research yourself and start saving and investing now.

Go to money.com  they have a site to compare relocation areas.\nOr Google  "cost of living".\n\nNo matter where you live, $36k with kids will be tough.

Child support orders should originate in the state where the custodial parent lives. If you took him to court originally in Tenessee he would have had to modify that court order in Tenessee, not Alaska. Then you can appeal the decision your state. You should not need a lawyer for this. If you had "good faith" support, where no court was involved, then he could have legally filed in Alaska which then requires you to appeal to the courts in his state. The arrearages should only have gone back to the time you seperated not to when the child was born unless you seperated then. The fact that the child lives with him 47% of the time is going to severly limit the amount of support you could get from him. Consider this...he could file for support from you for the time the child lives with him. All of the papers you recieved from the court concerning the decisions made should tell you where you need to appeal. If you do not already have legal custody of your daughter you should file for it.

The government gives people free money to go to school. It is called a Pell grant. And you would probably be able to get quite a bit if you are a single mom. The website is http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/\n\nGood Luck!

Sorry this is so long, but bear with me.\n\nThe law begins with the premise that you are the father and share in the obligations of your own child's upbringing. What you are asking is to have an exception or an easing of the costs based on need because of financial strain or unfairness due to the inequity of paychecks. Your side will be the one to have to convince and persuade because her side has law. In the end, even a good persuasive argument may not stand if there are no laws with which to draw on in your favor.\n\nLook closely at your side then. I am not trying to attack your side by these questions. I am merely saying that such questions may be asked by the legal decision makers or legal financil aid providers and you need to know your side has the strength to convince. Here are some questions to be prapared on:\n\nIs your limited income due to irresponsibility - Did you have to get a new job because you were fired from your old one? Have you wasted reasonable opportunities to have a better job - For example, do you have a degree and qualifications for a better job but chose a low paying job instead?\n\nWill your income likely grow again in the near future - Eight years ago we moved to a new state and my husband had to begin over again on the payscale. We began that first year on less than 18K, but we moved up quickly to now being quite comfortable by regional average income standards. If you are likely to move up in pay, that will be taken into account especially if you are asking to be excused altogether from the burden of support.\n\nHow much money is needed to raise a child in the location in which this child is being raised - Surely 70K/year would be far in excess of expenses where we live and perhaps where you live. However, if your child is being raise in many of the large cities in the Northeast or California it may take about that much to survive there.\n\nIs the $70K all the income from your wife's side? Has she remarried and has her husband's income too? If so, is that 70K a combined income from her own and her husband's income?\n\nHave you provided more than monetary support? Have you been a father beyond the child support payment? If you have been actively engaged in your child's life you will have a more convincing argument than if you haven't had anything to do with him.\n\nWhat were the conditions leading to divorce? Obviously if divorce occured because she was unfaithful you will have a stronger side than if you were unfaithful or abusive. Some would think that if you messed up in these ways you made your own bed and by paying you are reaping what you have sown.\n\nHaving such information as her being able to afford Cancun while you are barely able to afford groceries is very helpful, but make sure no holes can be poked through it. Did she really use the child support money for that vacation? Was the vacation specifically in the child's interest. It doesn't sound like it, but again it is your side that will have to do the proving not hers.\n\nOK. That is the end of the questions. I hope you understand my motives are just to make you realize that you will be the one with the uphill battle. If you are using an overworked public attorney and she has an elite, smooth talking lawyer your side cannot afford to be unprepared for such questions.\n\nI do feel for you. I want to tell a true story that I feel applies when it comes to grace under unjust circumstances. I know a pastor who lovingly was counciling a man who asked him for help. This guy was having a secret affair with the pastor's wife the whole time that this pastor poured his energies into being a help to him. It all came out when she got pregnant. The pastor wanted to save the marriage in spite of it. Instead, she began lying and demanded a divorce. This poor man lost his pastorate becauset he congregation didn't want a divorced man leading their church. Because he lost that job, he couldn't get full custod

Your story breaks my heart, and the sad thing is, so many people across the country have a similar story. People today have not been properly taught to manage money. It's also pretty difficult since cost of living increases have risen exponentially and pay at most jobs has increased minimally if at all.\n\nCredit cards are a very dangerous thing. My best advice is to cut spending to a minimal. Cut out the things you don't need. Make out a monthly budget for you and your family and stick to it as best you can. Allow for emergency and a little for entertainment, but be careful about spending more than you need to.\n\nIt's OK to rely on family and friends for help. Ask people to babysit for you when you need them to. Have them help you look for a new, better job.\n\nIt's going to be an uphill battle, but you can do it. You have to for yourself and for your kids. Good luck. :-)

Yes, there are several. I suggest you talk to your local Department of Fish and Wildlife. We had numerous such programs where I grew up in Alaska. I also suggest that you attend a program like Upward Bound.

Go to your local division of family services office. You probably qualify for other services as well.

You may be able to get support from your county.\n\nIn Fairfax County, Virginia for example, they have a "Child Care Assistance and Referral (CCAR) program that provides financial assistance for child care to low and moderate income Fairfax County families who are working, or who are in education/training programs and need assistance with paying for the cost of child care. The program pays for child care in centers, family child care homes, or School-Age Child Care (SACC)."   http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ofc/CCAR.htm\n\nCheck with your county if they have a similar assistance program

I am from Alaska and I can tell you that if you have a degree that job market is wide open.  The unemployment rate for that state are very small compared to others, and the only reason they have unemployment is from the samll towns that people get stuck in.  Anchorage is good.   If you have a hankering for going there, do.  If you don't you will regret it the rest of your life, and believe me, I have now been gone for ten years and miss it every single day.  You will never be at a place that is more home to you.  People go to visit and never come back...   it is that cool.  \n\nDon't worry about a job.  There is one there for you.  Just make sure you have enough to cover your rent and utilities for a few months before you go.  Rent in Anchorage for a 1BR will be about $600.00 - $750.00.  It could be less.  Check out the ADN site as it iwll have rentals on there.  Then you will need to have you heat hooked up, also...  Otherwise, go for it, pal! \n\nHere are some websites, in case you have not checked them out.  But the best way is to go knocking on their door really, but check it out anyway...\n\nhttp://www.abj.org   (Job Service)\n\nhttp://adn.com  (Anchorage Daily News)\n\nHope I helped and good luck!  Tell everyone there that Ronda Elliott said Hello!  If you have any questions, emial me.  I grew up there, second generation, and know alot about the state, the people and also some insights about jobs.

Look up your State Housing Authority. They are the ones that can help you.

Sorry for your situation.  Try a shelter temporarily and the shelter will probably have some additional resources for you for the long term.  I also like the idea of getting welfare until you can get yourself back on your feet.
