After 21 years of marriage, my husband could no longer deal with the stress of facing our huge bills and putting three children through college. After having $35,000 dollars stolen from a contractor, we went into debt to complete the addition to our home. My husband didn't like living in debt, knowing he was expected to help his children with college. So, he abandoned all of us and moved to Georgia (we live in Pennsylvania). Now, I'm a single mother struggling with two children in college and one to graduate in 2009. I contested the divorce so that I could keep my children in their home for as long as possible evene though their father keeps trying to force us out. I'm swamped with attorney bills. My ex makes three times as much as I do, yet he refuses to help with household expenses and college tuition. He only pays the child support for the one child, and he dislikes even doing that! I need help so badly, and am unable to get any help from the Government. I make $26,000/year, yet I make too much to get any type of help other than reduced lunches for my daughter. My attorney just "fired" me because I was unable to pay his $1500.00 bill. I am unable to hire another attorney. Pennsylvania law does not require fathers to help out with college expenses. Meanwhile my middle child needs $1000.00 for software that is required for her classes. It is my sincere hope that someone out there...just one person...has enough kindness in their heart to help us out. $1000.00 would be a miracle for us. We are drowning, and this is our last gasp of air to ask for help. Thank you! Lori
