1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Talk to your lawyer to see if there is anything he can do to help you out or if he can refer you to legal aide or someone to take your case pro bono. You cannot force him to pay for your stuff right now. The only hope you have is that you will receive some kind of spousal support in addition to child support. Otherwise, he has no obligation (legally) to help you with your rent.
