Hi,
My husband and I are in a position that we need to apply for undue hardship. I am hearing that this usually is never approved. My husband and I pass the first part of the test, for multiple reasons, access expense, other children to support, etc. We had a lawyer run the numbers already, and since then things have become even harder financially. It has nothing to do with not wanting to pay cs, it has to do with we just can't make ends meet anymore.
We are hoping to represent ourselves because we cannot afford a lawyer. We just went through a custody battle ($11,000 later). Is there any advice out there? We know it isn't a good idea to not use a lawyer, but on top of everything else, we have lost faith in the "help" we received and the system.
The other issue is his ex lies and says her bf does not live with her, but he is on the answering machine, his son has told us that he lives there, she tells everybody else he lives with her. How do you go about proving this? Send the bf a registered letter to their apartment? She denies him living there for tax reasons/welfare, etc. We still qualify for undue hardship without including her bf's income, but have been told it would be better to have his income included and that legally she has to.
Thanks for any help.
