When the marriage splits, how does the one on disability make it financially? How can you live on $800 a month

Answer 1

You'll need to change your lifestyle in all likelihood.

You should apply for Section 8 housing or see what housing assistance you're eligible for, along with fuel assistance, and food stamps. Pride doesn't put food on the table.

Can you get spousal support from him? If you're limited in income, you might also qualify for legal assistance from Legal Services. They may represent you in the divorce proceedings for free but you need to call them. Look in the phone book under "Legal Aid" or "Legal Services". If there are assets to be divided, you want to make sure you get your fair share.

You might also want to see if maybe you could get a part time job somewhere. Nothing huge or difficult but something you could stand to do part time and supplement your income. You can get disability and work part time, assuming you don't make more than about $800 per month.

Good luck!

Answer 2

If you were never married you would be in the same position anyways so where does the split part come in? You live within your means or get a job and maake more than you would on dissability. People these days expect to live the caviar lifestyle with Cheese and crackers effort.

Answer 3

First look for low income housing, such as section 8, or HUD Housing. They go by your income on how much you pay rent. Start searching for other services, your local Dept. of Social Services probably can help. Don't give up, I hope things will work out.

Answer 4

Usually if one of the partners is working, and the other isn't, the one that is, has to pay maintenance to the other. Find yourself a lawyer that gives you the first twenty minutes for free and ask about it.

Answer 5
