For now, all I think that you can do is RENT the HOUSE. At least rent it out for the mortgage payment. Call the Real Estate Agent,and tell him. See what your "contract" allows. There are some Real Estate Companies that offer to buy the house if they can't sell it in 3-months! At least we have that in Canada. Make sure that when things settle down, that you take legal action against your EX - in Civil Court. There are many Lawyers that will take your case, and not Charge you until the end result! Look into that. I am so sorry about what happened to your little girl. Are you getting some help for her? I hope so. I bet your kicking yourself, once again I tell young people, to go slow, in relationships, especially where there are children involved. One Never Knows. Possibly, you could speak to your bank and see about "bridge financing" - if you qualify, the Mortgage would be paid, through Bridge Financing, and when the House is sold, the Mortgage Company gets their money first. The Lawyer, who closed, all costs, and the leftovers (if there is any) go to you. That is about  as much as I know you could try. Good Luck, and God Keep you and your Children SAFE. Maybe I am the first, Merry Christmas, and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband, but you seem to be doing all you can do right now with out killing yourself. I would suggest trying to borrow from a friend or family member. Sometimes we find that we have to sacrifice our most prized possesions in times of need, do you have anything you can sell worth value. I had too sell off my horses, that really hurt, but it was something we could live without.  Are you making payments on a car, if so you may want to try to work with refinancing or something to lower payments..  Good luck, things always work them selves out.. PHB

Report him to the court.  In many states now he can be arrested for failure to pay child support.  If your state is not one of these then talk to a lawyer and find out what your options are.

Wow what a mess.  The best thing you can do now is talk to a lawyer. The court wants to know why you are not complying, first you don't even show up and now you're refusing to pay up. Get some legitimate legal counsel.

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 .

You poor thing. Have you called a lawyer? Remember most lawyers will answer your first question over the phone free. I do not think that you would have to leave. Because of not being able to make house payments, you may have to find another place to live.\nContact the H.U.D. agency. Since you are homeless, they will have to put you at the top of their list.  Get a list of government housings from H.u.D.  Put a full tank of gas in the car, take the children to grandma's and go put your application in at every government subsidized apartment complex that looks safe. \nThe Salvation Arny and agencies who help the homeless may help to pay your rent. You may have to do the degrading thing and apply for state assistance. They may put you in for emergency help. \nLook up social services  and social service agencies in the yellow pages. Call as many of these agencies as you can even those who you do not think can help you, just call. \nYou are not alone. If you can find support groups in your weekly shoppers guide or newspaper, call and go to those. you may even consider the program for relatives of alcoholics - ala non?, \nYou need so much in so many ways. You must seek God and put you and your children's lives in His hands.

If there was property or there were children involved or if one of you earned considerably more money than the other, you must find a matrimonial attorney.  Many of them will allow you to make payments if you have financial issue.  Start with the link below.  You could, otherwise, possibly represent yourself (although this is generally not recommended). Good luck.

Yikes!  Ask some local attorneys what options you have.  Some may take payments in increments.  It could be that if you take him to court he'll have to suck up most of the cost anyway, even back child support since you have been separated.  Never hurts to make some phone calls!  Much luck to you.  I think you'll find this is easier than you think, it's just annoying as hell.

I think Prisons have free divorce help, he needs to ask. If not, the papers are free on line. With no children, and no assets, he should have no problem filing as a low income person in the state, or one of the counties he is incarcerated in. Just needs to check on the computer for prices in each county.

there was a documentry about this not long ago, and this guy has basically been squatting in this guys house for 10 years, the bloke has tried to take him to court but because the man pays (every now and then ) some of the rent they cannot have him removed by bailffs (they are trying to change this though) ... so you need to be careful ... talk to citizens advice and see where you stand, maybe accepting half payments will go against you evicting them, but the citizens advice and council will be able to tell you your rights ... if you do take them to court to get them removed it is a lengthy process, so it might be best to try and resolve it in a way to suit you both.\n\nGood luck on this one, it's a toughy

Go to court.  Or counter-offer if that is out of the question.  Like ask for a long term lease with a set rent increase each year.  If the house is his before the marriage, you don't have any claims on it so stay there as long as you need to.  If you don't want the store, get alimony.  Go over all of this with your lawyer to get your options quantified.

Such a very sad situation.  My first question is why 70% less than the old job?  If you made that much before, can you make that much again? It would help ease the financial burden even if it wasn't your most favorite thing to do.  A good rule of thumb is to use 40% of your income on your living space. That means that if your house payment is over 40% of your income per month, you either need a raise in pay or a different house.  The best situation would be to find a job with insurance coverage that accepts pre-existing conditions.  That way, you can at least afford medication.  Keep trying for disability for your fiance'.  If he really is unable to work full time, it may be best for him not to work at all if it comes out to be beneficial to you both.  You're in a tough situation.  I wish you the best of luck.

Unfortunately you can't.  If the State deems him worthy of assistance, then he is poor.  The state can offer you some assistance if you really need it.

I think it would be best to talk to a lawyer in your state as the laws vary...I am so sorry that this is happening to you.\n It is a horrible feeling as I too am in the same boat as you.

What state do you live in?  Depending on its laws, you can do a whole lot ... including freezing his driver's license, hunting license, any business licenses, etc.  Call your state senator or representative ... make a lot of noise!!!  You are the one that's owed money, and you shouldn't have to pay big bucks to get your money (lawyers). There are plenty of free services out there. Also, if you're on disability, the government should be going after him anyway. If you get any other services like food stamps, or medicaid for your child, those organizations should be going after him too. If you're not on any of these programs, try applying for them. They'll ask you about the absent parent, and then take it from there. \n\nBut like I said, Make LOTS OF NOISE !!  Call his employer, his momma, his priest, the local newspaper. Act like a crazy person if you have to. Your child's welfare is worth it!!!

I am not sure, but I don't think they can if you aren't getting anymore income.  Call a social service agency or legal aid, someone there can probably tell you.  Don't call the housing agency, they may not be upfront about everything.  I do know that in Indiana you can't keep housing assistance if you are convicted of a drug related felony.  Good luck.
