Shit Happens. Just Keep Moving Forward.

Short story, DH's baby mama is taking him to court and it's becoming very apparent that her motive is for money. I don't want to get into full detail because it's not my story to tell, but it angers me how someone can have such hatred towards someone and fabricate a story to ruin their life. 

It's heartbreaking to me because the money we were supposed to use to pay down some debt is now going towards lawyer fees. Currently, we've already blown $15,000 from our savings just to cover these lawyer fees. My question to this community, I have $1,100 put aside that's separate from our savings account, should I use it to pay down a debt (if so, which one do you suggest) or would it be safer to save it for lawyer fees? 

Our Six Figure Debt

Debt List

Hello everyone! I thought I'd join this community to connect with like-minded people, build genuine connection, and hopefully get motivation to keep going on this debt free journey.

A bit about myself, I'm a thirty-something-year-old woman living in Alaska with her husband who's in the ARMY and 3 children (16yo girl, 13yo girl, and 4yo boy). I'm a Dave Ramsey enthusiast although I do disagree with some of his teachings (for example, saving $1,000 for emergency fund). My hobbies include photography, working on my planner, and making excel budgeting sheets. 

Anyway, I was curious. Is there anyone here other than me that has a six figure debt amount? If so, how do you plan on tackling the debt?
