I need a grant A.S.A.P. to pay off debt. I just got divorced and I'm starting from ground zero and need to get out of debt with the quickness.

I am not aware of any grants that are available to help a divorced person get out of debt - there are various other grants (business, education) but nothing in this category that I'm aware of.
Why would anyone just give you money so you can get out of debt with "the quickness"?

Ahhh, another case of wishful thinking here. No one is going to help you get out of debt, sorry. You are responsible for your own financial choices even if they are not the best choices.

Sorry there is no free money running around, you get a second job, sell things do what you have to,

Have you consulted a bankruptcy attorney?

You can try to get a Grant from the Government. Us women can get different loans from our government to help. You could use that money towards paying off your debt.

I hae never heard of a Government grant available to pay debts nor have I ever seen a Government grant where the grant is not monitored. It's a crime to get a grant for one purpose and use the money for another.
What grant are you specifically talking about?

I have never heard of a grant to pay off debts.
This is not going to happen. If that was the case every person in the USA would be in line for one of these. What you do is pick yourself up shake yourself off and start over. Like Fr_Chuck said get a second job , sell things etc. It will be hard but you can do it.

I've started from zero a few years ago to doing not so bad now. It takes a bit of luck and plenty of hard work and perserverance to get back on your feet. Your divorce is not your fault, but your financial picture can be cured in several ways. If you are so deeply in debt you could file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and get rid of a lot of this debt. They have changed the bankruptcy laws somewhat lately, but if you consult with a good bankruptcy attorney they will map out your possible scenerio for financial recovery. It's not going to be easy, but it can be done.
