Peace, I checked in with the mortgage co. about refinancing and lowering payments, etc. They could not lower it enough for me to be able to keep the house and pay the higher utilities, etc. on my salary. I want to make sure that I am living only within MY means, and not depend on the child support for us to survive. My H started hopping from job to job in the last couple of years and acting financially unstable, so it gives me peace of mind to know that I can live on MY salary, and what he pays just helps us be more comfortable and maintains my kids life style.
