My biggest suggestion is to go after temporary child support immediately. I figure it will add $640.00 a month. You need this money to support your child and smokie needs to help support that child. I would ask you lawyer to immediately this week file some temporary orders. Don't go easy on you lawyer. Make him earn his keep. Force him to give you the fastest timeline to getting the temporary orders in place. You need the help and he should be able to help.
My other suggestion is to look for help from places like foodshare or similar. They give food away without you needing to provide any information. You can look for where they have drop off. Be sure to show up early and have bags to put the food in. The lines usually are very long. This can help offset your food costs and you should not look at it as taking from someone else.
