[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you received alimony in your divorce please share your circumstances. How long married, said or working mom, length of marriage, HHI, etc. [/quote] I got temporary because we had a newborn with some medical issues who couldn’t go to daycare at 6 weeks. It made it possible for me to stay home with her until she was almost 6 months. However, alimony + CS really only covered housing, bare bones utilities, and emergency medical care. I had to rely on food banks and donated clothing. My parents put gas in my car so we weren’t housebound. Friends gave gift cards for household cleaning supplies, toiletries, and diapers. I was grateful for it, but I was much better off when maternity leave ended and I got a paycheck again. At that time, CS almost covered daycare. We were still very poor for years. My older child has a lot of anxiety about money as a result.[/quote]
