Q: adding child support or temporary child support to an otherwise 50-50 legal and physical court order, immediately
gay couple, have a daughter through surrogacy born in jan 2014
parter unilaterally terminated domestic agreement prior to major legal changes effective jan 2015.separated in 2008. Partner literally took and promised back most shared money.
a vindictive attempt at gaining full custody of daughter in 2014 resulted in a 50-50 physicial and legal court agreement with no financial agreement
daughter has been 50-50 since original breakup
I am in immediate danger of losing my apartment and in fact everything else due to unemployment after exhausting all of my resources
I will be forced to leave san francisco or live in a shelter.
I need immediate assistance, if temporary only, to cover expenses so that a job search can actually occur (doing uber takes all time and does not cover costs).
Parter most likely earns high 6 figures, possibly 7 figures in real estate - yearly sales are post
A:
The short answer is you should take your child custody order or agreement to DCSS and apply for their help establishing and enforcing a child support order. That process will take 3-9 months.
Also apply for unemployment and for public assistance for some help till you get back on your feet. Good luck.
