[quote=Anonymous]It can be hard to get unemployment.  What I mean by that is that a lot of places have very specific requirements in order to get paid for unemployment.  In some places you have to check in weekly.  Once you haven't applied right / followed all of the rules you won't get back pay.  Make sure you've done everything that's needed.

Additionally, yes, you should apply to have child support changed.

Certainly you can apply for FARMs.  This might get you a break on aftercare/beforecare as well.

If the money you're referring to is in your 401K, you don't need to immediately plan on liquidating it.  Your retirement matters too and you may only be unemployed for a short time.

Another thing to think about is health insurance.  Can the kids be on your ex-husband's insurance if they were on yours?

But yes, also, conserve your money by going to food pantries.  You're who they're for.

There are also breaks you can get on utilities if you are low income, so you could look into that.  [/quote]
