Just thought I'd share a little of my story. Maybe someone has some words of wisdom.
I'm dealing with so many things at once. My 2nd wife walked out 4 months ago, which forced me to have to file the ch 7. My first wife two days after that, filed to ask for a massive child support increase from 350 a month to 1300 a month, which I'm trying to fight. Not that i don't feel i owe what I owe, just i deserve to be able to survive as well. (also, I want my kids half the time, but have never been allowed to have them more than 1/3) With the BK pending, and not having to pay the debts, such as cc's, car loan, I can just get by, no extra for clothes, gifts, going out, even a hair cut. Not sure what I'll do when I have to surrender the car, I have no way to buy another car. With any increase in CS I won't be able to keep my house, and then i may lose my kids completely. I'm turning 42 soon, and am having a lot of job stress to boot. (how do you focus on a job, with all that other stuff?) I'm also dealing with piling up legal fees, and owe 3K in taxes for 2016. I fought for years to get more time with my girls but the judge never saw it my way, and kept taking away time, and now all of sudden first wife wants more $$ and is asking for back pay on top. Even if I can get the increase to half what she wants, I'm ruined. I've lost my wife, barely get to see my kids, and won't even have a car in just over a month. This is not where I saw my self 10 years ago. very discouraged, not sure what I'm going to do.
