Update: Told teacher that Georgia child support per month, in 2007, would be $917. She was totally shocked. Scared. She needs to finish her PhD thesis by the end of next year, but cannot do it without her mom's help (child care).
She can't get INS in Atlanta (or whatever the numbnuts are now called) to schedule her test, so that she can become a citizen, and so that she can get her mom over here legally. Mom's coming over soon, but visa expires in February. Husband (as a citizen) might get response from senators to expedite, but he's just a jerk (you'd think, however, that this would be in his best interest -- he "wants to see his kid maybe once a month, for 3 hours or so").
It seems that the creep, who bought a home and has it in his sole ownership, opted for a 15 year mortgage, meaning he's paying $1700 per month. Lots of home equity (completely for his benefit), I should think, while the woman and child go barefoot and hungry.
Hearing and observing all that I have, I'm about ready to give her money for a cracker-jack divorce attorney! (I'm an attorney, but handled 3 uncontesteds with no kids about 18 years ago).
Interestingly, she is also considering a change of scene -- she knew about the New York community and the Seattle community. Was very intrigued when I told her about Kansas City, MO.
Again, many thanks for all of your suggestions!
