Florida
2 years after I was granted a Protection Order, my husband and I spoke about divorce.
He told me to keep everything "as is", so I expressed to him that due to our situation, I wanted someone to revised that the child support amount was revised, just to make sure it was correct, since it was settled at the Court as "emergency child support" because we were supposed to go to family court and arrange all that, but we didn't.
He accused me of "talking ****", trying to create trouble and threatened to take away half of what was left in the apartment. (He already took his belongings 2 years ago and other stuff, plus other things were broken or old so they were disposed or replaced).
I think his salary is (or was) around $1,100- $1,200, since he doesn't work full time. My child gets $225 per month which I don't know if it's what he should be receiving.
I am not from this country and managed to get my Green Card last year, but my child is autistic, allergic, asthmatic and he misses school a few days every month, so I have to care for him. We also don't have a car, so is very hard to commute... I am trying to figure out how to be able to work at least part time under this circumstances, since I have no skills or work experience on the US.
We have been getting by because I had some money saved and my child receives SSI, but this won't last much longer.
The time my child spends with his father is one day per week, from morning to night and he also drives him to his 1 hour therapy one day a week and I take him the other day. But the thing is... he doesn't even want to buy him diapers, wipes, snacks, toys or anything... I have to pack a backpack with everything, because according to him the child support is to cover all of this.
I can't afford a lawyer, is it wise to do the Uncontested Divorce? Or does my child deserve more? We live in Florida.
