[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And, OP again: what I wanted to do is get by somehow until the green card - getting free food, if need be. Then file for divorce. It's not like I was planning to be on food stamps forever. 
I am in a pinch as officially I am a well off person with above average annual family income, yet, I am broke. 
I don't know, maybe we should just cross the border into Canada as refugees...[/quote]
You can go to food banks but you won’t qualify for food stamps for yourself. However you might want to look into what your child qualifies for since they are a citizen.They might qualify for free breakfasts/lunches at school and that will help.

I would definitely look for a cheaper 1 bedroom or even a studio. And your top priority needs to be finding FT employment. Whatever you can get. What is your employment background? [/quote]

will food banks ask questions? I know this is incredibly stupid but not being a person of color or an elderly person I just think they will suspect I am trying to fool them. 
Also, for the free food at school - officially I (he) still has this above average income. 
My background is admin/EA/project manager type of work. 
The apartment is pretty inexpensive since it was rented a long time ago. I could score something for, say, 1800 instead of 2000, but not in the immediate area. I also tend to cling on to the present place irrationally...also it will be stress for the child as it is with dad moving out.
