Uh, if you're on unemployment, how are you going to afford a L? How long have you been unemployed?
If your W is holding a job and you aren't, it doesn't sound promising if you are relying her to cover support payments. Have you been actively looking for a job?
It will be two years this May. And it was something that infuriated my ex...that I was at home all the time (looking for jobs actively) getting paid much more than she was when she was working every single day. I think had I had a job, things might not have come to a point when they did if at all. But yeah since I've been at home all the time over the last two years...I was essentially a stay at home dad...I was the primary caretaker for D3...and still am aside from 5 hours Su-We and 27 hours Fr-Sat.
And again I am actively seeking employment in my field...its a requirement for me to receive the unemployment...but the job market is the pitts around here...even when the economy was up.
That is why several pages back, or in my last thread, I said that I was upset with my ex for "trapping" me here when I could have gone elsewhere and been much more successful. She refused to move away from her father even though it could have meant a better life and a lot more income for us. Sure I could have left her and D3 to go do it on my own...but she and D3 were more important to me than anything...and with my budgeting skills as I said before...I was not only able to make sure neither of them went without and pay all the bills, but I was able to amass a considerable amount of savings in a very short time in the event that I did become unemployed like I am now.
I know I sound mean, vindictive, maybe even unbalanced at times...but all of you, whose help and continued supoort I do apprecaite...only know the post-split up me. I wish you could have known the pre-split up me...a great dad and generally nice guy who loved and provided for his family.
