All parts of my story are already in my profile. Yesterday I had a meeting with the judge about the alimony lawsuit. I was there alone, but I think I handled it. I showed all the documents and evidence that my husband only transfers part of the benefits and doesn't send any of his own money. She asked me to gather receipts for expenses on the child and provide them at the first hearing. But here's the thing – I don't have enough money to show how much I spend. It's a vicious cycle. I'm not working, and my husband is the only one sending money. He sends 35,000 for both me and my daughter, but I spend 22,000 just on food. The rest goes to diapers, phone, hygiene, vitamins, and transportation. I'd love to spend more so my child could eat avocado, broccoli, mango, and red fish, or go to swimming lessons and developmental classes, but there's no money. Where can I get the money to prove I spend a lot on my child? I simply don't have the money for a spinal diagnostic, I've been suffering with pain for half a year, I can't afford new clothes for my daughter, and I even need money to buy things from Avito. My friend or my mom gives us clothes. The judge told me not to worry and to bring a printout of all the transfers from relatives and my mom, so the court can see that the child is being supported by the mother's relatives, and the father is only transferring part of the benefits. The benefits themselves are a whole other issue, and it will be very difficult to get him to give up the rest that he spends on himself. It's so unfair that it's the mother who has to prove she NEEDS money for her child. My husband doesn't lift a finger. He doesn't answer calls from the judge's assistant, he didn't pay for a snowsuit for the child, saying 5,000 for a winter snowsuit is too expensive, but he didn't offer any alternatives. I chose a winter snowsuit with sheepskin lining, two sizes larger so it would last for next year, especially since it has adjustable sleeves and legs. Honestly, I'm very angry and can't change the situation right now. Also, the date for the divorce meeting with the judge has finally been set. I've been waiting for this since September 17th. First, the documents weren't filled out correctly, then I had to bring a certificate, then the judge went on vacation. The secretary called and said that during the hearing, I can state that I don't want a reconciliation period, so the judge can issue a decree after 30 days. I hope it works out. My daughter still isn't going to daycare. I found another kindergarten a couple of blocks away that has a pool, so I don't have to pay for a private one. However, the director isn't in yet, and even her deputy doesn't want to accept the child without her. I've closed my self-employment. I'll bring the income statement and say I had to take on a side job to pay for consultations and legal assistance. Emotionally, it's very hard for me. I don't even have money for a psychologist. I won't ask my relatives because they're already helping me in every way they can. My brother's wife often babysits my daughter while I run to court. I don't even cry anymore. It's just sinking in that now it's just me and my baby, that our life depends solely on me, but she's so little. I really wanted to be with her until she was three and only then send her to kindergarten, but life changes, and you have to adapt to circumstances. Once upon a time, I was on my own, worked a lot, traveled, lived day by day, didn't save, just lived. I always had money for my own needs and wants. Now everything is completely different, and I'm scared it will always be this way, that I'll always need support, that I won't be able to stand on my own two feet because I'm weak and couldn't give my daughter a family, that I chose the wrong person, that I was just looking for love and found only pain again. The only thing that brings me joy in this world is my daughter's quiet "mama" whispered in my ear. It's only for her that I will fight.

Scraping by with little bits here and there, but going back to work isn't an option? Where's the maternity pay? How did the benefits end up with your husband? You're like a beggar with your hand out.

You can get receipts at any grocery or baby store. Just ask nicely, and they'll give them to you

35,000 in child support isn't actually that little for one child. Learn to move on, pull yourself together, and Avito (a classifieds site) can help you – you can buy a new snowsuit there for 2,000 rubles, or a used one for 600 rubles. Yes, it's tough with little ones, but everything gets better a year later. Just don't get discouraged, take small steps toward your big goal. So, sending you a hug. And may everything work out for you!

It means there's no money to spend to prove that more is needed. She spends what's available, but more is required. And it's impossible to prove that it's really necessary because there's no income of her own.

Doesn't the court check the city on the receipt or something? I don't know how this court system works. For now, I've just taped all my receipts from 3 months onto a piece of paper, plus I printed out all my online payment receipts. But I don't know how to show them or enter them into a table. I'll figure it out!)

Create a post, maybe someone can help. But in Detsky Mir, if you pay online, the offline store address doesn't seem to be required

Thanks for explaining that for me. Overall, looking at the payments from my husband, plus my mom and brother, I spend about 70,000 [currency] for my daughter and me. And that doesn't include paid classes or my own entertainment, just a manicure for 1,600 [currency] for myself (a little joy!). It only covers food, doctors (we saw 2), baby hygiene items, minimal clothing, a child-friendly taxi, and last month was a pretty big sum due to trips to court, printing documents, mailing letters, etc.

Proving that more is needed. I'm only spending what I have, and even that isn't enough. When I find a job and can work, things will definitely be different.

Zoya This isn't child support yet, it's the last amount my husband sent on September 5th; he hasn't sent anything else since. I actually want to prove that I need at least 35,000, not 16,000, for child support. To do that, I need receipts, which are hard to gather because I also spend that 35,000 on myself since I'm not working right now.
I'm trying my best for my daughter.

To the SFR, it doesn't matter, according to the documents we are husband and wife. As long as there's no divorce decree, he can calmly receive this money. After the decree, they'll stop paying him the benefit, but for the amounts he hasn't transferred, there's already over 30k accumulated, and I'll have to go to court again to prove I haven't received it and that he spent it on himself. I don't have a lawyer, and doing this myself is hard work, especially since I have no legal education and am just a novice in this matter.

Marishka I work online during these 2 hours and in the evening, but I haven't gotten paid yet, it hasn't even been a month! Nannies cost money; I paid a lawyer with the 7k I earned online. My baby hasn't been accepted into daycare yet, but I'm hoping they'll take her next week so I can work more.

TaTa I'm not upset, it's just a really tough period. I know it will get easier soon, things will get back on track and it will be less difficult. But the court proceedings are going so slowly))

TaTa Just stop expecting anything from these courts, and it will be easier. Okay, you win, you get something else in six months, but after that, you'll still be the one earning a living. So why worry so much?

Marishka Thanks for the support! I'm so lucky to have such supportive family, so I feel embarrassed to ask them for anything, especially for money or to watch my baby. But they come over to help on their own so I can get back on my feet faster. Once the court proceedings are over, I'll get back to an office job.

Zoya Yes, for the two of us. I'm not officially working and don't receive any benefits. I want to receive a decent amount of money from my husband, who has a job with a salary of 140k and an extra income of 70k, at least until our child is three years old.

Marishka You're not just sitting around; you're doing what you can and you have prospects. Everyone has tough times, but some people just whine and wait for help, while others take action. Someday, you'll help someone too, remembering your own difficult situation. Good luck. Be careful with checks; they might ask for proof of income and decide you're not that needy.

Zoya I only got the order on Monday) I mentioned that the court was delaying things because the judge was on vacation.

Zoya Because I'm not married, what kind of benefits am I eligible for? The SFR (Social Fund of Russia) considers the FAMILY's income, meaning my husband's money. Besides, my maternity capital is set aside for other needs.

Albina
Zoya Are you a detective or something? What business is it of yours when I got the order and how long it takes to process? The judge was on vacation starting September 25th, and I submitted the application for the order on September 28th because I didn't even know that was an option – a friend told me. I received it on October 5th. Your accusations are quite funny)

Marishka Thanks! I won't submit anyone else's receipts. Let the court see how much is actually being spent. My main goal is to close these cases quickly and get back to my own life, work, and baby.

Zoya They still count his income. I tried to apply without his knowledge when he stopped giving me money, and it didn't go through. This was in February of this year.

Zoya It didn't get any easier there) The SFR also calculates benefits. 52k benefit, 140k salary minimum, 70k on taxis minimum. That's why they refused.

You can buy something, get a receipt in the store, and return the item.
Keep the receipt.
Take that money and buy the item again – and return it.
It's best to do this with clothes.
Some items are non-refundable.
And pay with cash. So the refund is also in cash.
