I'm a newly single mom whats the first step???

Question

I just broke up with my daughter father and moved to another state for good reason. He's not helping me with our baby anymore so i filed for child support. that can be awhile. I'm having trouble finging a job. does anyone have any advice?? is there any short term assistance till i get it together?

Answer 1

every state has some kind of welfare until you can get on your feet. its not a hand out. when you go to work your taxes will go to these programs. and if your in danger they wont tell him were you are. just be honest and maybe go back to school if you need to they can help with that to.

Answer 2

that no good mother-f*cker, i think you can file for some kind of emergency assistance from your local department of welfare. call first thing monday morning. there's definitely assistance out there for you. i wish you luck. be strong

Answer 3

food stamps/housing/ medicaid for you and your daughter/ TANF

TANF is supposed to ne free childcare and money to spend on anything-- also this helps you find a job.  goto a social service office in your state

Answer 4

You could file for unemployment, although i doubt they'd give you enough to actually live on. But it'd be better than nothing. See if you qualify for welfare and/or food stamps.  

Answer 5

Your first step should be to find a social services office close to where you live, they will defiantly be able to help you out with all of your needs.  Also I know there are a a lot of state run programs for support and such.  But like I said you should cheek with your social services office.
