Kas, I wonder isn't there an option to pay a private company $100-$200 for guaranteed service within 48hrs? In my area, there was, and it's worth it if you're talking about support payments for 1-2 months.
Anyway, read your updates, and wishing you good luck!
I don't have the papers and my attorney hasn't texted me back. I'm trying not to panic.
Today I did a home repair by myself. I never realized how dependent I'd gotten until WAH was gone. Sad really because in my former life I used to be quite handy. I used to be so fierce and independent. I missed that person.

What'd you repair? My son's door broke. I do repairs now too! Love it. As simple as: Google how to fix it, pick up parts, make repair--including the relevant kid so they learn something from it.
Congratulations on making a repair by yourself! As you travel your life's path, you will find that fierce and independent woman again. Google has some great websites to help you when it comes to doing repairs. Don't be afraid to try to tackle something in the home repair department. If you can't locate how to do it, come here and someone will help you. We do this all of the time over on the MLC and Divorce forums.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Filed 2 months ago. I was told they were backed up due to the holidays and that the summons probably wouldn't be ready until January. Left a message for my attorney but she didn't respond.
Backed up due to the holidays!!!! Dear courts- the "holidays" ARE NOT TWO MONTHS LONG!!!! Wow that is just madness, what torture to serve papers and then wait on pins and needles for them to (eventually) be served.

I'm overspending $300 a month after support. How long will it take to get temporary support?

I would get on the phone ASAP with that L. Don't depend on text, and don't sit around waiting for her to text back. The whole reason you filed for D was to protect yourself financially, you can't just sit in limbo indefinitely. Stress that to her. Get some resolution or get a new L.

Dishwasher didn't drain then I realized my garbage disposal wasn't working. I panicked. How the heck am I supposed to live without someone to do this crap for me???
S19 was ready to call WAH. No I can do this and S19 was intrigued. Measuring spoon stuck in the blades, pipes clogged and there was a leak. We had to take the whole thing apart. S19 still texted WAH (ugh) and they ended up going to Lowes to get new pipes. Whatever....I had this. S19 wants to learn so he was all up in this. Took a bit but its all fixed now.

The fines went up and everyone wanted to file before the end of the year. I work in a court so it's legit. But they should be caught up by now. Might not be served yet but my papers should be in a process servers hands soon.

I'm not a confrontational person so.....sigh this is another thing I have to work on. Took me weeks just to get up the nerve to text her (she didn't give me her number I got it from people I work with). Yes I'm pathetic.

UPDATE:
I found my strength and texted her again. I told her that I'm in month 4 or taking care of me and 3 teens with minimal support from him. She told me she'd get me a court date when she got back to the office. He's paying CS only and I can't live on that alone.
