My husband just requested a divorce last night and wants me to find a place to live asap. He will stay in our current rental home (I can't afford the rent on my own). I need to find a new place to live that is cheap as I am a Nanny to two families and my income is very small. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would like to stay on the West Side of FW.
Also any suggestions as for support, the whole process, child support, etc. Any good websites to visit that may help.
Thanks!
Thank you for all the advice. It was great to know that I had a place to go for some support and kind words.
Ask the people you nanny for. They might have friends with rental property, guest house, etc that you could rent. Do what you can to file seperation with a lawyer asap so you can start getting child support right away to help you. Good luck to you.
I know this is all so much for you.
Call the Ywca see where they can help or offer any advice for you. Call your church and see if they have any thing they can do for you. Legal aid will be able to offer you advice about the whole process/
Keep your chin up. Good luck.
I dont know much about this area or divorce other than being a product of one, but I wanted to say that I am sorry. Hang in there dear, my friend just went through a divorce and she is now the happiest she has ever been.
If I were you, I would let him know that you can't afford to find your own place right now. I would stay put and let him know that you would like a separation agreement that will provide you with support for you and your children since you do not currently have income. If he wants you out that badly, then he needs to help and provide support. I would also request government assistance until you can get back on your feet. Make sure that he is going to help you in this. Make sure that you take what you need when you leave - i.e. - furniture for the kids and yourself, household items, etc. Make sure that you understand where your money is at - if he has a 401 - know how much is in it. Bank accounts, IRA's, mutual funds, etc. You want to have a good grasp on where your money is at today because you should request 50% of ANY assets. I wish you much luck and I know that you will find your way through this difficult and trying time.
