I know I say I don't want DB's money

but right now I could really use the extra help. I made the choice to use all of my money in savings to pay off bills and then all of a sudden had some more unexpected medical issues come up a week later. Now I can barely pay my bills. My checking account is overdrawn and I'm actually donating plasma on Thursday just to get it out of the red. Gahhh I hate this!

I know it's worth all the stress though to keep DD safe and happy (AKA away from her father.)

    I'm sorry you're having a rough time.  I am getting ready to file and looking for a place to live and a new car.  Money is my number one stress right now.  I have no idea yet how much child support will be. We have two kids so daycare is a huge expense.  I'm so worried I'm going to struggle to make ends meet.  I know it will be temporary though until I get adjusted.  I hope this is temporary for you too.

    Things were going well enough for the last year or so, but this last week or two has been stressful. I am kind of irritated with SO and my parents, too, because they know what's going on and haven't offered to do anything to help. I know I probably sound greedy, but I just wish my parents would be more concerned with DD and me than their boat. And SO...all he has to say is "how is your paycheck gone already?" Uhh thanks for listening.

    Sorry, I'm just venting.... I'm not normally this rude lol

    Why don't you file for child support? If he's such a DB that he hasn't really seen his child, I don't see him filing for any sort of custody.

    I filed last summer...just such a long process. First court date is coming up July 11! But the lady at the prosecuter's office said that it would only been a quick appearance where the judge would order us to go to mediation. When we go to mediation we have to come to an agreement for child support AND custody/visitation. If not, we'll go back to court and the judge will decide.
