Grrr Child Support - a boohoo

[C~Q]

He is but I think he'll see me asking him about the SM as my way of making myself more financialy distant from him IYKWIM?

I don't know, maybe i'm over-thinking things!

[Beatrix]

unfort hun , you need to live and to do that you need $$

have you told him that your struggling?

[C~Q]

Well the thing is we're not really struggling, I can pay all my bills and be left with about $500 a fortnight for living expences so it is do-able but it's very tight. But I just don't see why he should be living it easy while i'm limiting myself to one tank of fel a week and stressing over not having any money for Xmas pressies

[Yael]

Just quickly, as DH is busy, he said yes, there is a way of getting them to pay more than the cap, with the new scheme. He will come in here later and tell you how to apply.

[C~Q]

Oh thanks so much Yael, I really, really appreciate it

I'd get straight onto the spousal support. CS or not it doesn't seem right that it's all of a sudden ok for you to drop your lifestyle 300k a year is a lot NOT to share with your family together or not.

Why don't you tell him you will have to find a house in the WORST suburb you can think of, surely he couldn't let that happen??

[C~Q]

I am going to be able to borrow some money at beginning of Nov so I'm going to see a solicitor then.

Yael, did you find out any info from your hubby about getting more than the cap?

Thanks guys, was in Coles today and my card got declined - so embarrassing

[Yael]

I will get DH to look at it tonight. Sorry, it's been his week off, so we have been busy.

CQ - the law firm I work for does legal aid claims. So if you are still looking for a firm, I'm sure we would take your case on. You just have to apply for legal aid first.

(Oh and we are on the sunshine coast too of course... but.. we're a nice friendly firm!!)

[C~Q]

Great, thank you so much guys. I'll aply for legal aid on Monday - is it quite simple, do I just call up?

Thanks Yael, and thank your hubby I really appreciate it, hope you are all enjoying his time off!
