I am a stay-at-home mom and am divorcing my alcoholic husband. At present, the alimony & child support I will receive won’t be enough to continue caring for my son full-time. I’ll have to put him in daycare 9 hours a day to make ends meet (I DON’T want to do that!).
Here is the question…My husband is being considered for a new job where he will make $50,000 more per year! If I wait to file for divorce until he starts this new job, will I receive more in child support and alimony? I wonder mainly because we’ve been separated for 4 months and I don’t know if the courts will look at his income at the time of separation or at the time the divorce is filed.
I know some nasty person is going to call me money grubbing, but this is ALL about avoiding putting my young son in daycare all day long when he’s used to being at home with me. I’ll be working full-time as soon as he’s in regular school.
Thanks!

I have a cousin whose son was removed from her custody when he was 1 day old because she tested positive for Meth. He was in a foster care home for a month and then our Aunt was given temporary custody while my cousin attended drug rehab, etc. My cousin completed the rehab program and was doing quite well for a while. She even got a job for a short period. But when the baby’s father went to jail she seemed to lose interest in getting the baby back. She was fired from her job for not showing up. She had a dirty drug test and has cancelled numerous visitation appointments because she said she was ill. At the last custody hearing the judge opted not to change anything as far as custody for the next 6 months. The baby is now 14 months old and has been with my Aunt for a year. I hear that the goal of the courts in Ca is to reunite the mother and baby. My cousin gave up her rights to 2 other children but seems to want this one because the baby’s father does. Do you think she’ll get custody?
I am looking for a Rescue Mission of some sort that my son can get into as soon as possible.
We are divorce and I am remarried. The childrens father has non-supervised visitation and during one of the visits he gave the children alcohol to try. I am just finding out three months later due to something my son had said to me in regards to my ice tea I made and commenting that it looked like wine. I don’t drink or carry alcohol in my home and it took me for a shock that my 4 year old little girl and 6 year old son knew what wine looked like and tasted like.
Even with my husband’s income combined with mine, we still can’t afford to send our son to an alcohol rehab, something that we really want to do. This is something that we never expected to happen, but I guess that’s the way it is with other parents as well. We’d like to know if any of you know how to find low-cost alcohol rehabs in or in close proximity to Aromas, California. Thanks.
My cousin can’t afford to get her son into a drug rehab. It’s so costly. But she really has to get her son treated. She’s asking for my help. Any suggestions?
My troubled 22 year old nephew called me. He overdosed and is looking to leave Detroit and come to Cal. I won’t let him stay with me because he will steal from his own family and I can’t trust him. I also have kids to worry about. Any idea where someone in SoCal can go without a job and no money who is trying to get off drugs? Also I’ve helped him out with money before and he has used it to buy drugs so I can’t do that.
