The jist of everything is that my ex wife would rather focus on her career, social life, and traveling by herself and friends while I stayed at home raising our son and took care of our home myself. And a month after my mother passed away she said she couldn’t do it anymore and that she wanted a separation/divorce.

Fast forward to today it’s been 11 months and a couple of days since we separated and North Carolina law states that a couple can divorce after one year of separation. We’ve had 50/50 custody of our son and I recently got laid off my job. Credit cards are getting maxed out, rent is due, no one is hiring, can’t work with my son’s school schedule, door dash is wasting too much gas. Bottom line is: I NEED CHILD SUPPORT

My ex makes almost 90k a year, I know since I supported her and her career since she made 16/hr. But of course she refuses to help me out and actually sees my struggle as a reason to take my son full time.

Obviously I can’t afford a lawyer like she can and legal aid of nc states they don’t help with such cases and social services says I’m not to expect any money for another potential 2 years. I’m so lost and have so many questions and no one seems to be able to help me. Literally any advice is greatly appreciated thank you.
