My boyfriend and I came to a southern California city in March, under the impression that we would be working for my cousin and her husband’s construction co. When we arrived we found out that The husband had filed for divorce because she was an alcoholic and having an affair. He has custody of the kids and has a restraining order against her. He allowed us to stay with them temporarily. After a week we asked him about the jobs and he says he didn’t know anything about it and because of the recession he is laying off people and doesn’t have any positions. We stayed a few more weeks and during this time he would sneak my cousin in the house so she could stay the night with him without the kids knowing ( we would take their 3 children to the park while he snuck her in) The kids were questioned weekly by cps and thats why he never let them know she was in the house. She would come to the house everyday while he was at work and the kids were in school. During these times she would be getting drunk and it started affecting OUR relationship ( I don’t drink). One day she physically pushed me and I hit her. She then told me and my boyfriend to get out. We spoke to her husband about this and he said he felt it was best we leave. The only money we had was . so we jumped on a trolley and ended up in another city a few miles away. All of our clothes and luggage was left in their home. A few days later my boyfriend called the husband and begged for the job so, he told him to meet him at a neutral place to turn in his id’s and fill out an application on a Friday and that he would start the job on Monday. The day he met him for the application and id’s, the police were there and arrested my boyfriend. They said we broke into the husbands home that morning. When they took my boyfriend to the house for the neighbors to identify him. The neighbors told them it wasn’t him (my boyfriend is black and the person who broke in was white) The police detective released him and gave him a card to call so we could get our things at a later time. We called everyday for 2 months with no progress. The detective would never call us back or would tell us that he couldn’t reach him about our property. We finally quit calling and a month later they issued a warrant for my boyfriend’s arrest. He has been in jail for a month an a half. Because we have no money for a lawyer they have charged him with burglary and grand theft and have given him a year and a half probation. This is all so ridiculous and it makes me angry. At the time of his arrest we were both FT students at a technical school. I am now living on the streets but I am still going to school, I maintain a 4.0 gpa and have perfect attendance. What should we do? he will be released in 20 days.

Orange County, California: I have sole physical custody of my two boys and receive about a week for child support from the boys’ mother. However, I have paid for ALL of the general expenses throughout the year (sports regisration and fees, dentist bills, haircuts, clothes, etc). These expenses are now in the thousands of dollars and I think that their mother should help pay for at least some of this cost.

What is the best way to handle this, other than hiring a divorce attorney? How can I get her to start paying for some of these expenses?

Thanks!

I am 18 and I currently live with my grandmother. I live in a small town in south eastern Alaska. When I was 14 my parents divorced and my father moved to Juneau and I moved with my mom and brother to Irvine, CA. About a year ago I told my mom I wanted to move home to be with family and friends. I was homesick. And I felt as if I didn’t fit in with Orange County culture. I’m Alaskan! So I went to live with my grandmother. I was going to school but finished early this year. When I first moved back to Alaska we got along great and it was so nice to be back. But now all we do is fight. She told me the other day that she doesn’t trust me anymore because I lied to her once when she was visiting us in CA when I was 15. I’m gay but I wasn’t out at the time (I came out at 16) and I told her I was going to a girls house to do a project when I really was going to my boyfriends house. I don’t know why, but I told her the truth a few months ago, because I felt I could tell her anything. So she’s mad at me for something that happened years ago. And now she told some of the family she can’t trust me because she always thought I told her the truth about everything. Then she told me she’s giving me until the end of the month to find a job to pay board. Well there’s no work in this little town right now, but I’m trying my hardest. I’ve applied to 8 different places, it’s not my fault they’re not calling me. It takes time here because there are more people than jobs, but she doesn’t seem to understand. Now she’s getting after me to clean my room. But it is clean; I just have a lot of stuff, including a lot of clothes and not a lot of room. I feel like she treats me like a little kid. She yells all the time over everything. She also seems to hate my friends, which I don’t understand, because they’re all nice and respectful to her. She says my best friend Allie dresses like a slut and my other friends have pathetic lives. She also yells at me when I’m in town after dark because I might get beaten up for being gay. Well I’m a masculine guy and I work out and can take care of myself, and I’m usually with a group of friends and everyone that’s younger knows me, so how could that happen?! She’s always calling my father and stepmother names and telling me how horrible they are, which bugs me. But if I stick up for them she yells even more. She tells me that my parents should have sent her money to take care of me, which they didn’t, and that’s not my fault. I was a kid. Although my father did send me 0 sometimes to buy myself some stuff. Everything about me seems to bother her. She’s hates my clothes. She hates my hair. She hates that I take a lot of time in the bathroom in the morning. She gets mad at me because I don’t agree with everything she says or believes in. She gets mad because I seem to get along with my aunt more than her (which is because my aunt listens to me). She gets mad because she says I don’t do enough around the house. But I tell her I will do anything she wants, just to ask and I’ll do it. I can’t read minds! She’s always telling me to go back to California and live with my mother because she can’t put up with me. I don’t know what to do. How can I fix this? I want the relationship I used to have with my grandmother. Or should I just go back to California even though I feel as if I don’t fit in there? What do I do? Thanks for your time. –Jordan-

Four, almost five years ago, I went through a nasty divorce. I gave my ex-husband physcial custody (we both have joint )because he was well better off. He promise not to pursue child support because he makes way more than me and that he has the house we bought together. Right after the divorce was final, he pursue child support and moved the kids without my knowledge. For four years, I’ve asked his family members of his and the kids wereabout, but got no help. I tried telling that to the child support rep, but they didn’t care. Before mother’s day of this year, I went directly to the child support agency and told them my story. I’ve been stuggling trying to make ends meet, to support my older son, who is not fathered by my ex. I don’t mind paying child support if the money is going to my kids (it’s not, he is a regular at Pachanga Casino, I heard friends tell me). When I finally did see my kids, they were in riped clothes, bad hygeine and was in day care most of the time.
