My wife left me because my income dropped and I could no longer support us. I have been searching and have found a job but I am behind on everything. I have no friends or relatives(all deceased) to turn to. The job I found will not provide enough income to stay here even if I was not behind.

o Talk to your creditors and explain your current situation and see if they will help you temporarily by reducing or deferring your payments
o Sell some assets if you have any
o Get a second job
o Advertise for a roommate to share expenses
o Check with your local social services agency about affordable housing alternatives
o All of the above

Look for a social service agency where you live: www.guidestar.org has a list of nonprofits and you can search by city. You can also check with United Way. They may be able to get you help to pay things like utilities and you can probably get free groceries, too. You'll need to move to a cheaper place, possibly a SRO (Single Room Occupancy), or you can try getting a roommate if you have space. Call all your creditors and negotiate lower payments. Don't fall behind and ignore the phone calls, level with people. Get a second job to pay the bills. I'm sorry for your bad news.

Dont worry friend! God always have a way out. Try to adjust now with the income you are getting. Work hard and you are sure to do wonders and get back your everything. My advise is never turn back to your Wife who left you...... Who were meant to be by your side at the time of distress have left you and that means that they never loved you....... Anyways, that was just an advise.... Bye! Take Care!

Shame on your wife for one thing......find 2 jobs to make rent, lights and food...the rest of your bills you will need to contact the people you owe and tell them the situation and you will pay them when you can or declare bankruptsy on them.

Is the rent in both of your names? Then she is responsible
for half, sue her for the balance of the lease.
