I’m a single mom with a six year old daughter. I have worked all my life and never depended on the welfare system. For the first time in my life after 25 years of being in the work force I can’t find a job that will work with my daughter’s visitation schedule with her father I am struggling trying to get any sort of help possible while living on credit cards which I’ll have to one day file bankruptcy when I max out. Anyone out there willing to help a single mother like me or know of an agency that can help? I worked in the mortgage industry/banking and even went back to school to study paralegal in hopes of finding a good paying job yet now I’m in more debt. If you don’t have any sort of a solution or ability to help out please I ask you kindly not to respond. I’m not looking for pity or any form of hurtful comment. Only if you’re willing to help guide me to an organization, government program or even if there’s an individual out there that’s willing to help. I need financial assistance to payoff my credit cards, go to court with an attorney, not by myself or I’ll lose to modify the visitation and find a
full-time job, with insurance. I have a verbally abusive ex-husband that has visitation with my daughter, I have to be home from work by 5:00 P.M. PST 2 days out of the week and every Friday I have to start work at 9:00 A.M., also 1st, 3rd and 5th weekends of the month on Fridays I need to be home from work by 5:00 P.M. so my ex-husband is able to pick up my daughter & practice his visitation rights!. I have asked him, to change his visitation hours so I can work and be home on time for the exchange but he has refused. Who is going to hire me in this economy if I have to ask the employer to accommodate me with my set hours and schedule!? I can’t go back to court because I don’t have anymore money to pay attorneys fees, but in my opinion my ex-husband has 2 attorney’s that have and will represent him in court for free because one is a family member and the other is a friend & in the pst they both have represented him in court. As for the rest of the time, I have someone who can watch my daughter after school while I’m at work but only until 5:00 P.M. but she will not to go through the exchange process. I need help or support, again to payoff my debts, find a job which will work with my schedule until I can go back to court and modify my visitation, that’s if the judge grants my request, or maybe there’s an attorney out there that will have mercy on me and represent me in court without charging to modify our visitation. I need to work and I need help.
Thank you


Before bankruptcy and going through agencies (half will make it worse), try powerpay. org. It’s free and what it does is after you enter your debts, it sets up a payment calender for you. It’s awesome. I was $15000 in debt a year and a half ago and now I only owe $3000, which is from my car. If you do want to go to a consolidation company, try Balance. I am in the military and that’s who we’re set up with if we need the help.
