Grrr Child Support - a boohoo

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!

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

have you told him that your struggling?

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 :(

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.

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??

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 :(

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!!)

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!
