Other Ways To Help Support Child!?

Question

If baby daddy isnt quite financially stable, and momma is. Other than takin him to court for child support what are other ways to get money for the baby. I currently do not qualify for food stamps nor WIC, because they say I make to much. But with my bills, I need alternates.

P.S. Family can only give but so much. I dont want to have to rely on them for everything.

Answer 1

supportkids.com.  That daddy should have thought about what it was going to cost him before he created life.  Tell the dead beat to join the military and take care of his responsibilities.

Answer 2

ok if you do not qualify for wic then you have to make quit a bit so i would talk to someone about helping to maybe do a better budget plan as a family of 2 for wic is 25,900.00  a year or maybe you can get rid of some bills like get a place to live that is cheaper

and if you have a carpayment go see if you can not sell your car and get one with no payments and that helps

Then is there anything that you can cut on to have more money for something else

Also yard sales are great so that oyu can sell things that don't fit and stuff no more and then you will have that to help and that is about all you can do so or you can contact the office and let them know about all the bills and they might take them into factor when seeing if you qualify for anything we never got no help but we did great and still are i talked to someone to help us budget our money and well our house is paid for in 6 years and things like that in january of 09 we will be completely out of debt and well we are happy so talk to someone to help budget money

Answer 3

I'm with you......I was financially stable when it was JUST ME.  Now I'm struggling, and the sperm donor abandoned me in the 14th week of pregnancy.  Like you, I "make too much" to qualify for any assistance....but I wonder how I'm going to make ends meet when the baby gets here in september.   I live in one bedroom......one small bedroom and I can't afford to move somewhere better.

Answer 4

Churches are great.  You can got there and they can provide clothes and food.

Also, look on craigslist and freecycle for free or cheap baby items, formula, etc.
