I am a single father of a three year old,currently going through a divorce.She decided that she wanted to experience "the feeling you get with a new relationship" and literally packed up her stuff and our son and left. She stuck me with and $800 rent,$300 car bill,insurance,gas,phone,and daycare. I was let go from my well paying job due to lack of performance which was due to the stress of the situation i was in.

 

She has been nothing but difficult since. Child support now leaves me with a little over $100 a week in my paychecks. My car was repossed and my license was suspended because i couldn't afford to pay for insurance. I now have a $500 fine and also need to get a car,but it's impossible for me to even pay the rent and utilities some months,much less pay those off and get ahead.

 

I know that a car is the key to getting out of this horrible situation. With a license and car (someone i work with offered to sell me theirs for $500.well well below book value) i would be able to find a job that pays much better again and show the court that i am a capable adult that should be awarded custody over the mother,who basically just uses our son as a paycheck. Where as i love him and try to teach him to be a good person.

 

If anyone out there could help me in anyway, please, don't hesitate to contact me.

I need help to pay my rent. I got laid off work and I am having trouble. Please help if you can I need $770 by the 1st of March. I got my eviction notice today..it so sucks. I have 3 little ones and have no clue what to do. I have always worked, now laid off it's so hard. My kids Father won't work because he don't want to pay child support. If I can find some grant or something before my March 31 court date we'd be ok. You know it was just last month I donated money to Haiti having no idea I'd be in this awful predicament now. There was a beautiful story today however a little 6 year old girl who walked alone almost sevan weeks over there found her Father and Aunt with the US Unicef lady. At least I got to smile if just for a moment.

My brother passed away and my dad took over all his things. My brother had a workmans comp. case that he had been waiting on for 4 years. For the last 2 years the atty. talked to my dad a couple of times and told him evrything was ok not to worry. Last court time they offer some money and the atty. turned it down. Now the atty. will not call back and is never in the office. I looked him up and read his reviews, none are good. I got a letter today saying that the court is going to dismiss this case unless cause is shown why it should not be.

My dad even talked with the judge handling the case and my dad told him about the atty. not wanting to call or anything and I guess it was easy to believe becuase he was suppose to show up for court and did not the judge said. The judge said he was going to call the atty. and tell him to get ahold of my dad but we have not heard from the atty. and that was a year ago.

We try calling about eveyday, different times and still get noting but a recording and never a call back.

Who can I contact about this atty. behavior and what should I do about the upcoming court?

 

Thanks

On Paying Past Due Bills

As unlikely as it may seem, there are ways around those old bills, that seem to keep popping up, and bothering you constantly. 

First, consider paying, only the bills that are the most important, such as your house note, utility bills, car note, insurance.

If a bill comes in that is a credit card bill, hospital bill, etc., send only what you can. Do not send the minimum amount, since this will run you short on your money. Send them what you can afford to send. Even if it is just a dollar a month, if they accept it, then you are in good standing. If they refuse it, be sure to keep the letter of refusal, along with the payment showing where you attempted to make the payment. Keep those documents together. When it comes down to it, and you show proof of trying to make a payment, and honor your obligations, then the courst, credit bereau, and anyone else, will have to stand with you, since you will have documented proof.

I am a 37 year old mother of two, a 17 year old son and a 5 year old daughter.  I have been receiving legal counsel from the local legal services in my area in order to get a divorce from my husband after 17 years of an abusive marriage.  My problem is, I have bad credit and can't come up with the money I need in order to pay a deposit and first month's rent and utility deposits in order to prove to the court that I have an established residence so that I can retain custody of my children.  It would take  a bit less than $1500.00 in order for me to get this done, and only around $8,000.00 in order to to take care of this plus pay off my car, which would make me absolutely sure that I wouldn't have any problem keeping my rent and utilities paid and be able to take care of my children.  Right now my time is running out to show proof of residence before I loose custody.  Please help!

Guardian Ad Litem

Hey everyone, thanks for reading this. I'm down to the wire, with my back to the wall. I have nowhere else to go with this, so I'm putting out my personal information. I don't do that. Ever. So please understand how desperate I am for a solution.

The situation begins with a crappy marriage to a crappy person. A divorce happens, and since then - 7 years worth of court battles. My ex-husband has taken me to court for everything under the sun. Mutual friends say that I hurt his ego when I left without looking back. Nearly everything he has taken me to court for, he has lost. The few things that he hasn't lost at, have been things like support modification, etc. things that there is no "win, lose" outcome. Since our divorce, I have taken him to court ONCE, and that was for contempt. I won. I won big.

February 8th of this year, I won in court again. I represented myself because I have no money left. March 12th is the next time we go to court for trial. We're going to court because my exhusband is out of options - he has tried to terminate my contact with our children every way possible, but has repeatedly failed. Now he is trying to move out of state. His basis for moving is financial. He says he is in financial ruins (yet buys two ipods, nintendo DS and other things for our children) therefore he must move to California.

On to the nitty gritty... I want to get a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) involved. For those not "in the know" a GAL is an advocate that looks into what is best for the children. It is my belief that a move to California (or anywhere) at this time, would be extremely harmful to our children. Their therapist says that it would likely reactivate their trauma and send them spiraling downward. My ex husband says that it would only be an "inconvenience" to our children. I want to get a GAL involved to get to the bottom of the issue. Should they be moved or not?

I am 100% convinced they SHOULD NOT BE MOVED. I am fairly certain that a GAL would agree with me. In order to hire a GAL, I need to pay her retainer fee. On the low end, I have spoken with Shirley Twohig, and her retainer is $1,400. On the high end, I have spoken with June Hendersen's office, and she is $2,000.

I have no money left. Business has been very slow, Mark has taken everything out of his TSP, we have nothing left in savings, all bonds have been cashed, all parents are tapped out... I come to all of you, asking - begging for help. Could you, and will you put up whatever you can each to help me please? If I could get 70 people to give $20 each, that is the retainer for Shirley.

I definitely cannot pay you back anytime soon. I can promise that I will try my best though, to get the money back to you as soon as I can. It could be quite a few months though, and not everyone at once. Just one person at a time.

Can and will any of you help me please? I don't have anywhere else to turn. I need to raise the money this week, because there is precious little time for the GAL to investigate and prepare for trial.

If not, thank you for reading anyway. I would appreciate all the prayers, vibes, karma, juju, etc. you can send me to help me out.

Any help would be appreciated and evenually padi back.  I hope to start my new promotion soon, so it is not out of the relm of possibility for me to make repayments within the next 3 months.  Thank in advance for whoever can help.

PLEASE HELP ME, I AM SINKING FAST !!! I AM ABOUT TO GO TO JAIL IF I DO NOT PAY THE DMV $13,000.00 IN FINES.

 
I was required to drive for my job. I lost my job because I was stopped, and arrested because my driving privileges are revoked for unpaid tickets.

 Now, I have no money because I am not working, and I can’t get new work because now I have a criminal record. I am truly stuck between a rock and a hardplace. I am desperate.

 
If I pay the DMV $13,000.00 in fines, I will  be able to show the Prosecutor that I have settled my debt to the State, and will possibly avoid jail time. In addition, I would   be able to explain my criminal record to potential employers and possibly get a job.

(The fines are so high because the some tickets are $1,0000.00 each and the penalty is an additional $1,000.00).


-I can’t get a loan because I have no income, nor collateral.

-I can’t drive because my license is suspended.

-I can’t get work because now I have a criminal record.

-I am facing jail time and a blemish on my record and no job opportunities.

-I am also about to lose my residence because I am not working, and can't pay the bills.

 

I would truly appreciate any financial donations, a loan, or information that can lead me in the right direction, to help me with the terrible situation I am in.

 

Thank you.
