Has anyone here gone ahead and filed for divorce without having a job lined up and without knowing what will happen next as far as how they will live financially? I know I've been beating a dead horse, but I'm just so apprehensive about actually filing because I don't have any extra money set aside and I suspect that my WH will get greedy and spiteful.

I have been looking for a job for over a year now. I've signed up with employment agencies, etc., and applied for many jobs from the paper but haven't even gotten called for an interview. Not even once. I'm bummed. How am I supposed to get out of this mess if I can't support myself?

Yes.

Social services exist in just about every state, if not all, and are really good once you figure out the gyst of how they work.

I was SAHM for ten years and am on my own now with kids. We're getting by.

The best thing I did to re-boot my resume is to volunteer and not be picky about who lets me do it. It's a way to get out and start a reference list that's current.

I was in the same boat.

Yep. Had no idea about the finances, filed anyway. We lost our house and I'm living with my parents, but I don't regret it one bit. Definitely check with social services. They can help with the daily stuff like food and housing.
