What is the name of your state? california
My mom and step dad are getting divorced. My family includes me, my mom, my sister, and my step dad. They have been married for two and a half years. Before my step dad and my mom got married, he owned two houses. Right now, we rent a house with a lot of his belongings in it even though my mom got rid of hers. My step dad makes about $3,500 - $4,000 a month. My mom makes only about $1,500 - $1,800 a month. Should they get divorced, she will not be able to pay for the rent ($950 a month) and all the other bills.
A source told my mom that the State can take money out of step dad's paycheck to help my mom, my sister, and myself. I need to know if this is true. My mom told this story to my step dad, and he said that it was not true. He also said he went and talked to someone about all this, and they stated, "my mom has nothing coming even though she makes some money."
Before they got married, my mom was supporting me and my sister the same as now, paying $950 a month and all the bills, with some money to spare. But since my mom had low income, the State helped her pay for the rent. However, when they got married, the State stopped helping to pay for the rent. In addition, during the first year of their marriage, only my mom worked (my step dad was on workman's comp).
Currently, the main items in our possession are 2 houses, 1 car, 1 truck, 1 van, 1 boat, and the house we are renting. On the 2 houses, there is still a monthly mortgage of about $2,000.
My step dad currently makes most of the money and pays for most of the bills. But my mom still helps. The problem is that once they get divorced, she cannot simply go back to the status quo ante where the State used to help paying the rent.
