Can a newly divorced woman with 2 kids live off of 4000 per month?

You can do a 2-bedroom.

Mom AND DD share a room.
DS own room.

Boy/girl siblings can totally share a bedroom.

Many apartments will not rent if it means boys/girls share a bedfroom.

Op also doesn't need the hassle of the dad finding out about the kids sharing a room. Get a 3 bedroom to be on the safe side

STFU, really. No judge is going to give a crap if opposite sex kids are sharing a room if their father is an abusive alcoholic. If you've never been there (and I have, as a kid) you have NO FUCKING CLUE what you are talking about. Your blathering is not helpful to OP. Get a clue, take a hint, and put a damned sock in it!!

Did I miss the part where OP said her husband is an abusive alcoholic? Or, if he's even abusive to the kids? I just thought she said he was an absent father...not something tangible that you can even prove in court.

And yes, a judge will care if she has two older opposite sex kids sharing a bedroom.

OP - What kind of job did you get in this area where you've been out of the workforce for a decade and got an entry level administrative position making 4k/month?

This is what I'd do.
My take home is $4k. I live in a 2 br in MoCo and send DD to private on a scholarship. It's tight but we are making it. 8 more years until I can leave the state.

Yes you can do it. Time to show your children what strength looks like!

Four years ago, I rented a 3 bedroom townhouse in Burke for $1600. That area might be a good bet.
