Single Mom of 7 Needs Financial Support During Divorce

Urgent Need for Financial Support

• 📌 A newly single mother of seven children is in the process of divorce and is not receiving any financial support from her soon-to-be ex-husband.
• ⚠️ She is currently making only $24 weekly from in-home care and substitute teaching, and has $6,550 in student loans for her EMT license.
• 🎯 Her attorney is not actively pursuing financial support, leading her to question their effectiveness and her ability to afford new counsel.

Custody and Childcare Challenges

• ⚖️ The couple currently has custody of the children split half and half each week, but she has not received any financial contributions.
• 🏠 One of her twin daughters stays with her every week due to suicidal ideation when at her father's house, complicating her ability to work full-time.
• 🗓️ She has obtained an EMT license with a potential job opening in January, but the typical 48 on/96 off schedule presents childcare challenges.

Legal and Financial Recourse

• 🗣️ The host emphasizes that the soon-to-be ex-husband has no control over financial support and that laws exist to ensure child support.
• 📞 She is advised to confront her attorney and demand action, threatening to report them if financial support is not immediately secured.
• 💰 The host reassures her that judges will hold the father accountable, especially given the seven children and reliance on food stamps, provided her attorney is competent.

Personal and Family Background

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The couple has been married for 18 years, with the husband described as a control freak, overbearing bully for the majority of that time.
• 💸 Her family lives over an hour away and is also struggling financially, making it difficult to get support from them.
• 🤝 Friends from church have provided some assistance with gas, and the show is offering Aldi gift cards to help with groceries.
