Oh honey I'm sorry. I know thats not very helpful. Do you Know your insurance took out more than they billed you for. Maybe ask your ex if he has a little bit of cash. Tell him his daughter is hungry

they messed up the first ammount. i payed first and last when i singed up and the guy made a bit of a mistake on the ammount so this month i was suposed to have 88 come out and they just took out a little more to make up the difference from my deposit last month. anyway my ex says he can't help. he has no money he says. although he works and lives at home and has no bills. there are always excuses with him, he spends on himself like crazy and refuses to pay anything for his daughter. i once asked for money for medical reasons's he said he had no money then i found out he went out to buy an engagement ring for a girl he knew 2 months.

i have money in my account at the consignment store but just $30 and they won't let me take it out until it reaches 40. it's in the contract like that. so i'm going to have to figure somehting else out for now. i'm never stuck like this for money so it's hard when your not sure what to do.

I'm sorry to hear this- This is sick! Is there anyway to have his wages garnished so they are put into your account directly without having to ask him to give you money- FOr future of course.. Have you tried getting help with food? Assistance? How about family- Borrow money to be able to buy some food until you get back on your feet.. I hate to hear about any child suffering (being hungry) because of some deadbeat dad! I will be sending positive thoughts your way! I truly hope that you find something!

i'm with a program that is like a third party for collecting child support. the problem right now is that he has changed jobs and won't give them the info for where he is working now so they can't garnish his wages until they find out where he works. my bills are all paid and i'll have money next week so it's just this week that i'm stuck for groceries. i'm going to try to sell something to make some money tomorrow.

A church will help you with the food if you need food for you and your daughter or any food bank will. I would try to find a local church and tell them your problem and they will help you out until your next paycheck. Good luck!

I see your in Canada so I can't be as much help as if you were in the states. I see you need food for your daughter, are you eligible for benefits from the government? Also churches and orginazations can help with food. Also what about a loan from family and friends. Best of luck. When all else fails ramen noodles are like .12 each.

Pop, I totally feel for you. Are you close to getting any money from mylot. You can have it deposited to your paypal today and then to your bank account by tomorrow. I know that might not be a whole lot and not a big help. I understand. Neither of my kids dads pay either. My sons dad does sometimes. If you end up being really strapped pm me.

I hope she lets you take it out. I'm sure she will understand your situation. I have been there and know the distress that you are feeling. Stay positive, that always helps.

i've asked, he has excuses for everything and says he needs gas money so he can't afford anything. i'll figure something out. it's just a week until i get paid. all my bills are paid so it's just food i need. i'll be able to do something, sell something or do whatever it takes.
