When I first divorced, I had 2 toddlers and no child support or alimony...no help.
I worked my a@@ off
put the kids in daycare and filed for daycare assistance
my credit was ruined and I finally started building it back up when I remarried Husband#2. We had a joint checking account and unbeknownst to me, he took my SS# and info and filed for joint credit cards etc and then when he left he cleaned me out and left me 1000s in debt more than before
so
still no child support or alimony and even more in the whole
I continued to work my tusch off and have finally eeked out or debt (except for student loan payments) and paid off all the joint cards (since they were joint, it doesn't matter it is still on my credit rating...I can take him to civil court and get a judgment against him)
it's a hard road and there are no easy answers
decide what is most important set the goal work for it
