So I am at a point where I am drowning in credit card debt. I have about $70,000 in credit card debt currently, and I can't really stop the bleeding.

It's all due to attorney fees. You paid $75,000 in attorney's fees?

Also moving. I was in a situation where I was married and my husband was an alcoholic

and substance abuser and I had to get out of that situation. So what did you spend to move?

I'm in Westchester, so it was about $9,000 to move between, like, broker fee and security.

So you spent $60,000 on lawyer fees?

Yes.

For what?

I've had to fight tooth and nail for my child.

It's been a very challenging court case.

At this point, the court has ruled he cannot have access to my nine-year-old daughter.

But it's been contempt orders and violation, not on my part, on his.

And also there's an attorney guardian ad litem as well.

So I'm paying both of the attorneys.

It's just been a very harrowing experience that we are, thankfully, going to come to the end of hope soon by the end of the

year.

Okay.

So the bleeding is stopping then.

And, uh, it will.

What a horrible thing you've been through.

I'm so sorry.
