  • do my own divorce in ca?

    I've been separated from husband for 2 years - he hasn't paid any child support for our (now almost 18 years old) son nor any spousal support. He makes $120/base plus commission, so about $170/year. I went from bringing home $850/month 2 years ago to averaging $1500/month last year, to making $30K/ year starting 2 months ago. He's just now agreed to give me $1000/month to help me pay our $1800/m rent. We had a notarized agreement stating we were separating and he was to pay me $1000 month back in June 2011. Never happened.

    I've spoken with 2 family law attorneys - they, of course, recommend I retain them for $5K to file on my behalf. I don't have the money now. They tell me we can ask courts to make him pay $1k month retroactive to 2011, plus spousal support plus my attorney fees.

    I don't want him to have to pay anything extra beyond child support retro, and my support for half of our marriage (I gave up my career to raise our 3 children). Could I just file on my own and save us the cost of the attorneys? Anyone ever do that in CA? Any suggestions? (I have the book n how to do your own divorce in CA)

    I'm not interested in being vindictive; I do want to make sure he is court-mandated to pay, since we had a notarized agreement before and he went back on his (notarized) word. Thank you!!

  • Not sure what to do...?

    Single mom not sure about cars...

    have a 1986 Buick Elektra station wagon with about 60K miles I bought from my grandma in April. Breaks completely shot. Two choices: sell the car "as is" with the disclaimer that the brakes do not work OR

    put in the money to get them to work, then sell it.

    Either way, I'm using money from the sale to put towards fixing transmission of my Chrysler Town & Country.

    What would you do? Why?

  • Sex question not appropriate for this forum...?

    I have what I think is a great question, definitely not appropriate for Yahoo Answers since kids frequent this site.

    Know of a more adult site where I can get answers to my XXX question? Thanks!
