ParticipantI am sorry to hear about your situation. I have a good friend that is going through the same thing. Divorce sucks. Anyways, I think you both should come to some sort of compromise. Expecting him to pay support on an assumed salary of $155k is unrealistic. You don’t need a mortgage expert to understand the market isn’t what it was back in 2003. At the same time, he should sac-up and help you raise the child(ren) you both had together.
Educating yourself was a good move. You might consider increasing your attempts at building a strong network in your area. Try to befriend moms or dads in a similar situation. They might be able to help you through this transition phase while you get established in your new career (e.g., find a good, inexpensive day care). I wish you the best of luck.

ParticipantSnail,
Too much wine is an OK excuse on this blog. It means you are speaking the truth. Just curious…was it a red or a white?

Nice research. You should team up with ocrenter over at BMIT (http://bubbletracking.blogspot.com/). I think the two of you could really help to further expose weakness in the housing market in the San Elijo Hills area.

ParticipantThe Boston Tea Party’s main theme was “no taxation without representation”. At the time, Great Britain was taxing the colonies and not giving them representation in Parliament. I think that a similar sentiment can be applied to the graduated income tax. The wealthy are taxed much higher than the poor and middle class and therefore get (or feel they deserve to get) a say in government that is commensurate to the amount of taxes they pay. I am nowhere near wealthy and I do not think it is right that some are taxed more than others. The wealthy are going to get theirs either way, and it is the poor and middle-class people, who cannot afford formal tax help, that end up losing out.
An earlier poster mentioned that the first tax returns were the size of a postcard. The Declaration of Independence, the document that freed our country, can fit into a shirt pocket. The IRS tax code, meanwhile, is over 40,000 pages and growing.
