I have been paying $2,500.00 a month for 2 years now. I was unable to afford an attorney at the time, I was stilling living in our home, we rent. All the bills were still being paid by me. Just scraping by and just before x-mas. I have 3 kids that need a normal holiday. They are 10, 13 and 17. Their mother borrowed money from her mother to get an attorney. Her mom has died recently and she has just received over $200,000.00 . Her share of the estate. My ex works for the school district so she has her income and I was working for a Builder at the time and my gross was $5,600.00 a month. Thats if i didnt miss a day. I was paid as a sub contractor and was 10/99'd . The judge ruled that child support/ alimony was to be $2,508.00 a month with the alimoney being$600.00 of the total. Currently my oldest 19 is still living at home. I was given 30 days to move out of a home that we rented. We were married for 19 yrs. I am a contractor and you accumulate lots of tools and supplies over the years. I had everything set up great at home. I had nowhere to go and i had to move everything out to storage. I spent the whole month throwing away money into a dumster and moving the rest into a 10x30 public storage unit. Aint cheap. Am I paying too much and? How long does alimony last? Does her inheritance change anything for me. I am barely getting by and work has slowed down. With her huge lump and all the rest of my monthly bills I cant afford to pay my taxes. I am going down. I need help.
