Need help---really important i dont know where to go


When i a greed to give up all my stuff to her, i did. My problem now is that the new job i currently have, doesn't pay me enough to pay everything she wants. I signed that i will give her a car, but i currently don't have the resources to pay up.. Now she is really mad and she is suing me because I'm unable to do everything she wants.. I been paying child support , giving off almost all the money i get from the job, I get paid around 800 a month, child support is 500,... My issue with her is that she started doing really bad things to my family. When my wife found that i was wanting to do a divorce she took all the money out of my accounts, she canceled my cell phone...She forced me to go to a legal battle when i agreed on giving everything she wanted, she managed to get a court restriction so i wouldn't be near my daughter.

I'm currently living with my family members, because i currently don't have nothing, she took it all.. . And now she wants to get more out of me.. she want her car .... but i been telling her
that i don't have a good job...

Thats unfortunate...Did you have a legal question or did you just want to vent?

You have a job that pays $4.16/hour? How is that even possible? Or are you working part time? You could make better money emptying fry baskets at McDonald's.

Well I need help in finding a lawyer, but i don't have the resource to pay for one too.
I'm a truck driver and the job I got, doesn't pay that much. I got pay 10 Bucks per shipment....

sometimes I do 2, sometimes i don't do nothing because the truck is in really bad condition..


Well my wife already sent an order to arrest me because " I wasn't able to give her everything I promised" by that I mean the car she wanted me to get...

now I don't know what to do,

Don't make promises you can't/won't keep.

It was wrong to do that, about the job I'm looking for a better job,
Right now I am unable to get a better job because I don't have a high school diploma, plus She has an order of arrest. so if i get to the jobs that pay more. I would have to travel longer distances in trucks, and she would find were I am...


It is really hard for me....

I wish that anybody could help me find more information on contracting a lawyer, that isn't expensive because i cannot afford it...

Please h

Contact the local Bar Association and ask for a list of lawyers that do pro bono work. Call Legal Aid in your area. Get your GED.

is this even real? how could she get you barred from your daughter? minimum wage pays more than you make....and most min wage jobs don't really require a diploma...how is cs more than 50% of your income? there are rules preventing that- did the court find you voluntarily under-employed?

Do you have any court orders at all?

If you do, EXACTLY what do they say?

Is there a provision in there concerning a car?

Have you been paying COURT ORDERED child support?

Exactly how did she get an arrest warrant for you?

These are some of the basic questions that need to be answered before anyone can really try to help you.

I have no idea what you are talking about when you say you're a truck driver who gets paid only $10.00 per shipment. Sorry, but there's no way that a driver would earn that little, unless you are an undocumented worker/illegal alien whose boss saw the opportunity of a lifetime to get work done without actually paying for it.

I do know the number 1 thing you should do is get a job- a real job that pays at least min. wage, and if you are a legal worker, you should also report your employer.

EDIT: I just realized you mentioned that the truck you drive is in bad condition- do you OWN the truck? If so, get a hold of a broker who can set you up with some real loads to do. If it's a company owned truck, and in any way unsafe, you need to report it to the DOT right away. Even an owner-operator can earn more than $10 a load even with the insane fuel prices.

Unless of course he does not have a CDL license and is working under the table doing paid "favors" for people he meets and knows he has a truck. Or he collects scrap.

Yea, I get the impression that he's working under the table because he said that he can't go over the road because his ex could find him. My neighbor collects scrap and still makes more than $10 per load, well, personally I have to wonder if this guy is a dead beat who's trying to get out of paying, but I posted on the off chance that he's really just trying to figure out how to do something the right way. Hopefully, he'll actually post what his court orders say and maybe we'll know for sure.

For the job question - Supposedly I should get higher wages but because of some problems with the employer truck i been getting less than 200 a week (which is about 750 USD a month) some

The employer doesn't care of the condition of the truck.. H

I decided to change job and my new job offer is 10 an hour... doing 40 hours a week, I haven't received pay because i just changed to that job,

2 When i was signing the divorce paper I agreed on everything even to give her the car and other payments (does payments do not include the payment for child support which i currently pay 500 USD a month)
3 In child support i went a little bit behind because i didn't have enough although i did partially paid..
4 she got an arrest warrant because i wasn't able to go to court. I she was able to get the arrest warrant
5 when i signed divorce agreed to give of my rights to her, i couldn't fight over due to the cost of maintaining the lawyers ( about 250 usd an hour) thus i was forced to agree to be only able to visit her on weekend
6 the car is also the issue....
7for the undocumented comment, alien... I am a US citizen
8I have a class C license to drive trucks so that not a problem
9 In there everybody gets paid 10 bucks per shipment no exceptions
10 good thing I am changing job
11

Just to let you all know I am writing on behalf of the person, i am his cousin and trying to help him... and we are looking for help, and advices on what I can do...
he is living with us right now....
"I have no idea what you are talking about when you say you're a truck driver who gets paid only $10.00 per shipment" well that what he gets but things are going to change ( sorry for writting in first person is because i am writing it as he say it to me)

Why are you referring to his monthly income as U. S. Dollars? Is this guy in the US?
