Kat, is there any way you are due for a raise at work do you think? Your boss sounds like a cool guy so it sounds like he's the type to help you if possible. I think you said you were job hunting a bit: would you want to or do you think you could get a higher-paying job so you wouldn't have to get a 2nd job. I mean I know you already have 2 jobs now being a mom!
I know it does sound like you have a good job now and I know how hard that is to find too! Is your H not paying any of his alimony? Could he maybe agree to give you at least half or something and then he'd owe you less later? If he's not paying his bills, what is he doing with his money??? Karen
