It's been almost 2.5 months since I left my husband with my one-year-old daughter. And only yesterday was the first hearing for alimony. The order was upheld at 1/4 of his income; my arguments that he threatens to quit were not accepted, and the case was closed. The judge said that if he quits, then I should file a claim for a fixed amount. Now, wait for the bailiffs to act. But the bailiffs are a whole other problem. They picked up the letter in St. Petersburg on October 14th, and I only managed to reach them yesterday!! The inspector wasn't aware of my letter at all and couldn't find me by name. I tearfully begged them to sort it out, saying it's a simple case: the man works, he's willing to pay alimony, please just don't lose the original and finally open an enforcement proceeding. The day before I finally got through, I filed a complaint with Gosuslugi about the enforcement proceeding not being initiated and that my child has been without money since September 28th. I really hope they do their job properly, and I'll start receiving money. I owe my friend, and I'm so embarrassed... I'm taking my daughter to nursery school because I don't have the funds to pay for kindergarten and all the fees yet, but they've given me a grace period. My mom is trying really hard and took on extra work at the kindergarten where she's employed, but a week ago, new management came in, and she's facing layoffs. If that happens, we'll have to figure out who goes to work – my mom or me full-time. One girl here helped me a lot with clothes for my daughter, covering all the needs for kindergarten outfits, outerwear, and hats with mittens! It's so heartwarming, and I'm grateful she helped! Valentina – thank you!!! I'm also working remotely part-time, earning about 15,000 rubles a month. I'm just waiting for my daughter to start attending at least half-days. She currently goes for 2 hours and cries. But we've already managed to get sick, so in total, she's only attended for 7 days! The adaptation is going tough, but I'm not giving up. At the court, I was told that my husband earns a salary of 180,000 rubles or more, even though when we lived together, he said his salary was 120,000 rubles, that there was never enough money, etc. But since I've already found out he's a gambler and has court cases for debts with microfinance organizations, it's clear where all his salary went. A few days ago, I saw on the court website that another case against him has been filed, also for debts with microfinance organizations. It's awful to realize what kind of person was by my side all this time and how foolish I was not to notice it, just getting lost in my child. Now, I'm just waiting for the alimony to breathe and start planning my life. My husband has no interaction with our child; he doesn't ask for photos or how she's doing. He sent a thousand rubles when she was sick, and that was only after I told him she was ill. But he did pay for a lawyer at the court, who defended him as if he were her son, while I was all alone and so nervous defending myself and my daughter that my voice trembled, and I ended up crying. I asked my husband to send a small package with Christmas tree ornaments that I had collected over several years from different trips, but he said he wouldn't send anything else. I had forgotten about them, that they were in the box with the Christmas tree; there are so many beautiful ornaments, I thought I'd show them to my daughter when we decorate the tree. I also asked him to send my steam mop, which I bought specifically during maternity leave for quick cleaning, but he said it was broken... as if deliberately to avoid sending it. I asked him to send the air fryer that friends gave me as a gift, but he said it had burned out... that's how much I've offended my husband, that now I'm the ex, and my daughter is too...
Девочки, подскажите, пожалуйста, советом. Отправила из своего города в Питер заказное письмо, с опис…

Screw the ex!
No pity, especially for yourself!
You'll do everything, buy new things, fix the situation, don't ask him for anything anymore!
And don't fall apart!
Life is long... and everything always comes back to people for their actions ❤️

Hang in there! You need to get out of this situation with as few health and mental/physical problems as possible. It's hard, painful, and upsetting! You're doing everything right. Unfortunately, you'll have to fight for child support... he won't pay voluntarily.

Elena Yes, you're right, life is long and he'll have to answer for it.
Thank you for your support! I believe that everything is fixable, everything can be bought, the main thing is that the baby and I are safe)

He can go to hell. Everything will be fine. Believe me! I divorced my ex when my baby was 1 year and 2 months old. He immediately stopped needing the child, or maybe he never really needed him...

Don't you have Ozon or WB warehouses there? You could go for some extra work in the evenings while your mom watches the baby. People really make money there if they get into it! Good luck to you!

Who will pay for my round-trip plane ticket? We live 3000 km away from him. He changed the locks. I'm not trying to guilt-trip anyone, just sharing my feelings about the whole situation. And how am I supposed to go back to work? My child can't even last 2 hours in daycare. Plus, we were sick for two weeks.

Marina Fedorova All the warehouses are outside the city, and you can only get out for 12 hours. My 17-year-old brother works there part-time. But the problem is, there's so much demand that there often aren't any spots available for the weekend!)
But that's not even the main thing. I have a spinal injury and suffered during my pregnancy, so physical work isn't suitable for me right now, or it'll get worse. Remote work is ideal, but I need more time.)

Elena Clothes and shoes - you can browse Avito and find decent things for pennies... these aren't the things to focus on.
Work - I understand it's hard while the little one isn't settled...
I'll honestly tell you what I would do in this situation:
Find another mom, believe me, there are many... team up and take turns watching the kids while the other one works. Is that possible?
Also, check around your city for crisis centers for moms with kids. You'll definitely find support there!

My divorce hearing is in a week. I hope they don't drag it out and my husband doesn't pull any stunts with his lawyer.

My baby just started walking, and the tantrums have begun. Now she's waking up at night too. She's having a hard time adjusting.

Why only 1/4? That's for the child, but alimony is due for the mother up to 3 years old.
