At The End Of My Rope

Wow well where to start. It is 2am and I am doing alot of life reflections about 7 years ago I got married and we had 2 beautiful children. My wife at some point decided not to be part of my life anymore and was unfaithfull she left me with my children, about a year later she decided she wanted the children back and she hired an attorney and won physical custody, she also won a child support settlement for $829 a month and I was working for a company making 7.25/hr full time which means I did not even make much more than that. I could not afford an attorney and there is/was little help provided for people in my situation. about 2 years went by and I started working for Gateway Computers making more money and having a good life. I met a wonderful girl and although there were some ups and downs we made it through and seemed happy at this point My ex-wife began to garnish my paycheck for over 50% of my income, which means I did not enough to support myself or my family. At this point I lived with my gf and she had 2 children from her first husband, I was the sole provider but after we talked it over she decided she would go back to work and I could stay home with the children since there was no point in me working real hard to bring home next to nothing. We were set to be married but we were told if we got married they would be able to take her pay to pay my ex wife as we were barely getting by this was not possible, so we left things be. She got pregnant and we had a wondefull boy out of wedlock not by our choice however he was born with something called DiGeorge syndrome which means he could not go to daycare and I had to stay home. Now it seems Shasta (my current gf) is not happy she has become majorily depressed and wants to go our seperate way. The child support has since built up and now they want to send me to jail. I want to make it clear I really do not mind paying I love my two girls however we can barely survive as it is, and because of my son I cannot work untill he is at least two years old. Without the money to pay for an attorney I do not even know where to begin to get it reduced and our lives have fallen apart we owe so much money to everyone we are doomed for sure, they took away my license and my car so I cannot even drive now. If Shasta leaves I do not know what I will do life seems so pointless and not even worth trying anymore, we moved to a new town becuase they promised her a promotion at work which has yet to come so now I am in an unframilar town with no money or car, no friends and I am about to lose the one positive thing in my life. I have tried talking to God before and praying and asking for a path to see the light and have yet to achieve anything. I'm lost I need help I don' know what to do. I'm sure people are in worse situations than me it just seems no matter how hard I try my life is garbage.

Thank you all, I currently live in Pendleton, Oregon USA however the support order was entered in Kennewick, Washington in the county of Benton.

KevinJ,
Yes, go seek legal help. This is so unfair. The courts do NOT do justice. My ex pays 120 a month and HE bought a new truck, a new car and a new house plus all the luxuries to go IN his new house, even though I struggled to clothe and feed my son. This is SO twisted!!! You need to seek legal aid, PERIOD. Send your story to Jay Sekulo and see if maybe his office could recommend a Christian lawyer in your area.
Second, are you tithing? Yes, I know, no money. Start small. If someone gives you 10$ tithe 1$ of that to your church or to your favorite man of God. Are you buying a soda everyweek? Then tithe the money for the soda. Tithe on everything/anything you get and before long you will see God's principals for money management begin to kick in, BELIEVE me it works. Be a good steward of what God gives you and HE will BLESS the remainder of your money, (Blessed money Does more and Goes farther than cursed.) 10% is HIS, always take that and give it to HIM and the rest of your money will do more. I've seen it work over and over again. Not only that God tells us if He can trust us in little then HE will trust us with much. If you apply these principles then He will provide more for you to work with. Maybe not filthy rich but HE will provide abundance for your needs!
Take your situation to Jesus and let Him show you the way. HE can solve things when it looks HOPELESS! to this thread and read some of the things our Precious Lord has done!!!

Quaffers Testimony Time, it will bless you! HE excels in doing the IMPOSSIBLE because if it were possible we would get in the way!!! {{{cyber-hugs}}}
