Do I leave now or wait

I was going to wait to leave until March. In March we will be married 10yrs and since I am in Texas I can get alimony on top of child support. It has gotten really bad lately. He basically stopped working. His pay went from 4000 a month to 1000-1200 the last few month. I really think he knows I am leaving and is trying not to have to pay as much child support. I found out the other day from my dad who works for the same company that he is getting fired for not working and being late. We are loosing the house this month. We basically don't even talk anymore and I really think he is still cheating. Next week I will have 4000. I have to pay on bill that is 1000 before I can do anything. Then I will have 3000 dollars. I want to stay until he gets his W2 so I can file taxes and have it deposited in my account. Hopefully we will have it by the end on Jan. I am going to put my name on list for an apartment. My dad said I can stay with him if I need to until I get a place. I will have to have a three bedroom since I have four kids. The waiting list is about 6 months from what I have heard. I hope if I can get gov. assistance I can get moved up on the list. If not I am looking at about 800 for an apartment. I have no idea how I will afford it. I am a full time student and don't want to have to give that up. I know I can get

Under the circumstances you've describe I think I'd go ahead and make the move. You have a support system in place, and nothing is going to get better by waiting. He's already thrown in the towel by the sound of it, now it's up to you to pick it up and move on with your life.

I wish you luck

Jennifer,
