[quote=Anonymous]In General, to qualify for assistance, you have to be low income. Low income qualifications don’t include child support in determining some benefits, others it does. Usually the threshold is really low - below the poverty line, think $15k a year to get housing, food, medical, meager cash assistance. And that is simply to live impoverished. While you’ll take a financial hit in the process of your divorce, it’s the nature of how these things work and we all go through it in one form or another in most cases. Not sure how your immigration status complicates matters further. But I’m inclined to think from what you’ve shared here that you’re better off with the agreement of what he is providing and supplementing where you can, reducing your living expenses, downsizing, etc will be the better financial and personal choice in the long run.[/quote]
