[quote=Anonymous]Hello there! As I don't live that close to DC, I can't give too much advice on where to live. I would definitely start out with getting a good lawyer, because he or she will be able to help you get the most out of your divorce settlement and arrange funds for you to live on until then, especially since your husband is the one unwilling to work on the marriage. As a single mother, I won't lie, it has been hard, but as others have mentioned, I'd do it over again in a heartbeat, to be able to raise my son. Don't be ashamed to reach out to Social Services, they have a lot to offer single mothers as well, concerning food, child care, help with utilities, insurance, etc. Finally, build a strong support network, wherever you live. Trade babysitting dates with other moms so you can have some time to yourself. This is a great article I just ran across: https://list.ly/list/1xoe-managing-your-money-so-it-doesnt-manage-you. Hugs to you![/quote]
