Ex received eviction notice.
Hi there. My ex-girlfriend just received this notice.
She's in Michigan, in Genesee County.
She had an unimaginable string of hardships, including veterinary bills and eventual cremation costs for a pet, a hospitalized parent that led to missed work, a car that died, got haphazardly fixed by said hospitalized parent, before blowing a tire, getting new tires put on and then overheating and dying for good the very next day. Had to resort to a pricey bad-credit/low down payment dealership for subsequent vehicle. Has no financial safety net with relatives. Doesn't qualify for assistance, even with a kid (her ex never lets her claim their child on her taxes).
She's a working single mother (shares custody) to a good kid, but had a pay reduction at her stable job for several months while on medical leave from back injuries sustained at said job. Doesn't spend frivolously. We broke up recently but remain on good terms.
By the sounds of it, this is a done deal. Got this today, it says 24 hours but realistically it will be Monday. Courts, sheriff's civil issues non-emergency line and property management offices are all closed for the weekend.
She owes over $2k, which includes this month.
What even are her options right now? I've never dealt with this, but I've also never dealt with such bad luck. I can vouch the issues were legit. I had to stay with her so she could use my car when she was without one (I work remotely).
The kid is safe with her dad right now, but they don't have a good relationship and they were just talking this past week about giving her mother full custody. The kid is a teen.
Would having a kid involved help buy any time to transition to a new place or get assistance?
Any advice would be appreciated. We did check 211 too but nothing was applicable for her. She has no place to go besides a hotel. I live an hour away.
