<prompt> Human: Hello all,standard throwaway disclaimerIf anybody is able to point me in the right direction here, Im in a bit of a pickle and could definitely use some help.Im currently in the process of getting divorced to my wife of 5 years. The reasons behind the divorce arent really pertinent, but because of the divorce, my financial stability have taken a pretty big hit.Current monthly figures: Net salary: 4,200 Mortgage: -2,100 Household Costs cable, internet, electric, water, etc: -490 Child Support: -1,100 Car Insurance: -165 have gotten multiple quotes Car Payment: -380 not yet purchased a car, but will need one, CU financing me at 9.7, my credit is garbageI currently have 0 savings she spent it most of it, the rest went to attorneys fees, and with just these numbers Im already in the red without even including food and other necessities.Ive yet to purchase a car, but will need one to travel to and from work. Im keeping the house in the divorce, and it has about 60k equity in it. I was considering selling it to keep myself afloat for a while.If anybody has any advice on how to reasonably proceed without drowning in debt and bad credit, I would appreciate your help. If Ive missed any information Id be happy to provide it.Thanks.Edit: Thanks to all of you that gave me some sound advice. To those that PMd me your own stories of being in a similar situation, I appreciate that Im not alone in this. Moving forward it looks like Ill be selling the house, and see what I can do about a cheap car. Assistant: Hey, everything is going to be alright.-- Sell your house. This will give you a nice chunk of change.- Try to get custody of your kid. This will have a double wammy effect in terms of you getting your kid and getting rid of that wild child support payment.- Find a cheaper car?Human: Thanks for the reply. Ive really been considering selling the house. I would prefer not to have to, but I feel like I have no choice. Custody is about 6633 with me having 33. I travel a lot for work, and it kind of makes sense for me to have less custody. As long as I can see them when Im in town then Im happy. The CS is already technically lower than it should be. Any suggestions on what to do for a car? Just buy a junk used one? I dont have any money to just buy one outright, so I would have to finance one.  <response>: Any chance you can take on a boarder? If you try to make these house payments on your own you will, at best, hang on to it for a few stressful years while saving nothing, and at worst fall behind and get foreclosed.
