Gwen,

Start thinking of options to protect yourself and your kids. I know you have taken some action, but sounds like you will need to take some more. You can do this!

For example:

Can you sell the car? Don't make his car payment if it's impacting how the girls and you are living.

Drop him from the insurance.

File for temp support. In most states, it's free to file for child support. Don't expect him to act in good faith or with any rationale. I made that mistake. I'm still waiting on a set amount of support and it's been three years since he left.

Put on your business head and start thinking of how you can make some changes to improve your circumstances.
