I get and disabilities and just the parenting plan schedule that I have. So I'm divorced, disabled. I've got two kids that are three and five years old. So one is in school and one is in preschool slash daycare. I've sold all my assets in the divorce. I got the house in the divorce and my ex-husband got everything else. but I have to pay him $20,000 additionally for his portion of equity.

I've been trying to do some side hustles. I do door dashing and photography and marketing services on the side, but I'm just not seeing enough income consistently to rely on that.

That is $12,500 to my ex-husband, which he's willing to wait until I sell the house. It's not an area where we live anyways, and I need to come up with some money.

I paid it off except for a construction loan, so approximately $110,000. Amazing. Is it on the market right now? I'm in the works of listing it right now. I'm just waiting for the realtor to put it on the market, but I updated the listing for her.

Yes. I owed him $20,000, but I've paid it down to $12,500. I'm supposed to give him $5,000 every six months per court order, but he agreed to give me more time and just pay him a lump sum once the house sells.

I'm renting. I'm living in an area where my ex-husband lives and works, so we can co-parent, and it's also close to both our jobs.

I would definitely consider that. My only issue with switching jobs currently is Other than what I love, what I do, my ex-husband works for a prison, and his schedule changes every six months. And I've had to be kind of the one kind of on the back burner to make my job flexible for his job. I get that. They're not very flexible. Well, that's why, again.

My schedule changes every six months, and the parenting plan pretty much changes every six months. Yeah. I'm so sorry.
