The judge's order included "temporary" alimony. It's been temporary for 5 years now. I researched what would be involved in filing the papers when we were in Dallas and it costs me $40 to get a _copy_ (a $0.05 photocopy) of the paper that I would need to fill out to file anything. > Even then, alimony isn't designed to completely support > her. You're absolutely right. There was $300/mo in temporary alimony and then a little while back they eliminated the temporary alimony and simultaneously increased both the arrearage amount, _and_ the amount per month for the children. The remaining $1600/mo is supposed to be for my 3 kids. Never once did I ever spend $1400/mo on those kids (original amount) until the ex kicked me out of the house and filed for divorce (and the judge illegally prohibited me from appearing in court, which I also couldn't afford to fight). So even if I had the couple hundred or couple grand it would take to go back to court and fight the alimony for that slim chance they'd have given that to me for the extra $300/mo, it's moot because they already removed that award. > Take out a f'ing loan if you have to, with the money > you'll save you can pay it off. If I could take out a loan (which I can't) then I'd be able to hire an attorney, yes. Since I can't, it's moot, but thanks for the suggestion. People don't seem to understand when I say I don't have money, I don't mean "I'm so broke, I've only saved up $10k toward my retirement!" ... I literally have no money -- have not had -- have had negative amounts of money for 5 years. The only way that I was even able to attend cf.Objective to speak was by taking on extra contract work (which I'm still working on, and just barely reaching enough cash now to pay my rent for the upcoming month). s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:201232 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
