Yes she gets 600 from Social security. I didn't count that. Sorry. I barely meet her needs with that. He pays 400 when he gets around to it. Believe me I have made the rounds hat in hand. I made a good salary before I became disabled and not being able to work for a living kills me. But now my doctors are talking seizure meds and then I might not be able to drive. Sucks being poor and hurt.

I would call around to some social service agencies, and see what you can come up with for assistance. Catholic Charities does family counseling on a sliding scale, and they can also help with utility bills. Community Action can help with quite a few things: apply for LIHEAP and Circuit Breaker, if you haven't already. Your income is too high for food stamps, but you should be getting complete medical assistance....which some counseling centers will accept.
Learn which products and services you can get for free or at a reduced rate, and save your income for things you have to pay for in full. Phone companies also offer a reduced rate to people who qualify. Make use of food pantries and programs like SHARE.
Maybe you have to give up your family home, but if you can't afford it and are going into the red on everything else in order to stay there....maybe moving somewhere less expensive would be better.
You should qualify for free legal services. DCFS may also be able to help with some of your expenses. I would certainly talk to someone about the abuse your daughter has suffered: 800-25-ABUSE.
It takes a lot of leg work (phone work), but there are a lot of services available in Illinois.
Here are some places to start (one tip, ALWAYS click on any section marked "more links"):

Have you spoken to the mortgage company? Your utility companies? Just make sure you address each issue, and don't let them slide...hoping for the winning lottery ticket. Keep a journal of who you have called, the name of the person you spoke to, the date/time, and the result. Don't give up.

Called them too. They wouldn't take a report unless she was seriously injured. I call her health serious, but they don't. I think her doctor is mandated but I will have to call and see if she did. I have to take her to a child psychologist on the 23rd. I'll ask her too. But she's in Missouri. I don't know how that works.

Do they realize she's still having problems with her jaw? I'd call that a serious injury and she needs medical attention for it.

They said and I quote " If she isn't bleeding or bruised in more than one place, it's not considered serious enough to take the report."
She uses his health insurance and he calls everytime he gets a statement. He called the day after Emily went to the doctor and said he wasn't paying for anything in his opinion wasn't worth it. I told him you don't make that decision so f**k off. But it is just another way he tries to control us? See Relayer, even I say the f**k word over the phone.Provocation is a mighty weapon.(lol)

It just makes me sick, he beats up his kid to cause this divorce and now he's going to walk away with everything and be rewarded for it.
By the way how do I get my answering machine messages in a courtroom or can I? He has two really abusive ones on there, not just one word relayer.He calls me every name in the book and every other word is f, mf,[censored].
Another one says he hopes I'm happy now his new relationship isn't going to work out because of me.

You need to call them back. Somebody there was FOS. If you SAW him hitting her in this manner and she has hospital records and still having physical problems over it, it IS serious enough. They take things less than this seriously.

Always write down the name of the person you speak to, date and time, and what they say. You may need it later.

She didnt have hospital records, he would never have let her do that. That was when he still lived here and she was too afraid to tell anyone, because he told here the same thing he always does. Get me in trouble and I will kill you or beat you severaly. One time she had a teacher call home to discuss a failing grade she was getting. He flew into a rage and knocked the bathroom door down with her in there going to the bathroom. Told her he hated. And that she was stupid.
