I have a 127,000 debt to my ex-wife, not including child support. I just found a job after being laid off for a long time. Should I move in with my parents with my infant son, and girlfriend? Concentrate on paying the debt off? My rent is 950 a month, my kids are close by, so is my job. My parents are 40 minutes from my kids and job.
My girlfriend also has kids that live far, and she fly's to see them once a month for a week.
My parents are mid 60's, plenty of room in the house for all of us.

This has become normal in the last few years. If you can stand living with them, and they can stand you and the rest, go for it. I would suggest setting up a plan, with a target date for moving back out based on how much you can save by living there. Don't spend the rent savings on a new car and vacations, and earn your lodging by helping out around the home.

Well said,,,, I totally agree!
Don't put everyone thought this is you don't MAKE IT WORK out and save the money paying off debt. Get a budget plan and stick to it.
I would definitely consider staying with the parents. It's better to be in a situation where you don't have to pay rent and your kids can be fed and go to school so that you can focus on paying off that debt.
if you have the kind of relationship with your parents where they know that you will take care of them in their time of need, then it would be ok. but with the understanding that they are doing you a favor. some people (not saying YOU) move in as if they expect that they should be able to do so and they do not contribute.
