when husband leaves you and kids homeless and broke?

Sounds like its time for you and your sons to get jobs. You need to find you a small apartment. If your children are too young to work, I guess its time for you to find a job. Or you can go stay with family.

Ensure that you get your husband for abandonment and child support.

Edit - Your children are old enough to work. They need to find jobs so you guys can have a place to live. You also need to file for child support.

If your youngest child is 16 and you don't have a job, you've put yourself in this position. When you decide that you don't want to work and support yourself, but rather be supported by someone else, you're completely at their mercy. You do have the option to go court, file for a divorce, and collect child support (for 2yrs at least) and alimony until you're old enough for social security. You've been leaning on your husband this long, might as well carry that dependent attitude into your golden years.

If you know where he is why can't you get him for child support when your two boys aren't grown-up yet? I do feel for you, is ther enot some shelter for women in your area where you could temporarily find a home till you get on your feet i.e. get a job and your own apartment? Try this:

You pick yourself up and move forward. You change your attitude, be an optimist! You're not homeless...you are temporarily without a permanent address...start looking for one! Being broke is a state of mind, get a job and have your 2 teenage sons do the same. Show them by example how to move on with their lives when something bad happens in their lives. You are stronger than you think!

You are a female with minor children....there are lots of places that will give you all the help you need, get the help and file for a divorce! Good that the loser has a job, now he can pay the child support you'll need to help you raise them!

Get on welfare and public assistance immediately. Then, look for immediate employment and of course, go to the Child Support Agency and seek support. THEY WILL ATTACH HIS WAGES for abandonment. Do not wait!

Go to legal aid and file divorce papers on him and ask for spousal support as well as child support.

At 30 you should know well enough that it takes a couple/few years to really know some one before you marry.

First on your platter, is the attny to garnish his wages.....Then proceed with the paperwork of divorce, stipulating he pay all attny fees, child support....I don't believe he's liable for grandkids. Hold on to your sails. You have one bumpy road ahead of you!...........♥♥

get a ride to his new job and wait in parking lot until he responds.
