Answer 1

Hubby needs to work and so do you to pay the bills.  Go to welfare and see what supports you qualify for from child welfare to food stamps.  Check with the power company, etc., for they may have special substadies for low income.   Get ride of the cells if you have them and cable.  Cut corners where you can.  Use coupons.   And be honest with the court about your situation when you go.

Answer 2

Call the landlord and agree to leave immediately if he cancels the court action. If he agrees, get it in writing and confirm with the court the case was dismissed.

Answer 3

Sometimes churches will give you the money as a donation but remember when you get back on your feet either give to someone else in return or give the church the money back so they can cont. to help others in your situation.

When you have your court case make sure that you dress nicely ~ not S****y but not too nice like w/ a lot of jewelry

Make sure that you are just honest with the courts

Also, if something happens just go stay at a rent by the month hotel ~ Good Luck
