The family looks great when dad and mom walk arm in arm along a park path and roll a stroller in front of them. But it happens differently. A lonely woman, left alone after a divorce, is torn to pieces, trying to take time for a small child and make money. The question of how to survive after a divorce without money with a child arises before many modern women.
Whatever the reason for the divorce, it will always be a trauma for both the woman herself and the child. How to survive without money after a divorce with a small child in your arms depends on many factors:
- availability of housing;
- work;
- education;
- presence of other relatives.
Lodging
If, after the divorce, your husband acted nobly and left you a place to live, then one problem will be solved. You do not have to urgently look for a rented apartment and pay for it, especially since there is nothing to pay with. Having your own home will save money that you can spend on a child or even your own education.
If the apartment has two or more rooms, then it is reasonable for the first time to rent out one of the rooms. This solution will solve the problem of utility bills. In addition, money will remain for living.
If you find yourself on the street after a divorce with a small child in your arms, you should look for friends or acquaintances who could shelter you for a while. Surely, every woman has a best friend or even a good friend who can help in this situation.
A young mother with a baby always evokes sympathy. At such a moment, there is no time for pride and self-esteem. You need to think not only about yourself, but also about the child, and therefore, you can step over yourself and ask for help.
When the main problem - where to live - is solved, you need to think about how to survive further. And mainly about how to make money. No matter how good your friends are, they will not be able to shelter you for a long time, and therefore, over time, the question of where to live will again arise in all its glory.
Work
Your well-being depends on your work. Of course, after the divorce, the father will pay child support, and you will receive benefits, but this money will still not be enough. Great if you went on maternity leave while working. This means that you can go to work, at least for half a day. True, in this case, you will have to look for someone to look after the baby in your absence.
If there was no work, the situation becomes more complicated. Finding a job with a baby in your arms is not easy. Employers are in no hurry to hire a single mother, as this is fraught with frequent sick leave, time off, and vacation at their own expense. But there is always a way out. There is a huge number of offers of remote work on the Internet, and, more often than not, special education is not required.
Education
Education will increase your chances of finding a job. Of course, a child takes a lot of time. If you are applying for a service, then you need someone to look after the baby during your absence.
In the absence of education, it is much more difficult to find. You will be offered only unskilled low-paid work. Therefore, if there is an opportunity, it is worth taking up your education. You can enroll in the correspondence or evening department of any educational institution. Having received a diploma, you can count on career growth and, accordingly, high wages. In addition, you can take courses, albeit paid ones. Some of them require the presence of a person, and while studying, you need someone to look after the child. But, again, in the age of the Internet, you can even get a higher education remotely.
Relatives
It's great if you have older non-working relatives. This will solve a large number of problems, ranging from looking for housing and ending with a device or going to work. If you have parents, you can always go to them or invite them to live with you. In this case, it will not be difficult for you to get a job or get an education. And financially, parents are always ready to help their daughter.
