I'm a Brazilian expat living in Panama City with my child. I'm separated from the mother and we're negotiating child support. I earn around $800 a month and my fixed personal expenses are around $250. I also have private health insurance for my child, but I'm not sure if it will increase my costs. The mother earns roughly the same as me and says her fixed expenses (rent and services) take up almost half her paycheck. She's keeping a record of her expenses and says she'll go to court if we can't agree on a payment plan.

I'm looking to renew my car insurance in Panama City and someone recommended Eprezto, but I'm not sure if it's a good option. My current broker is offering a higher price, but Eprezto is advertising a better deal. Has anyone used Eprezto for car insurance?

I applied to the Escuela de Aprendices in Panama City a month ago and took the first online test. I haven't received any information yet, and when I email the ACP, it just tells me to request an appointment. In the Smartrecruiter extension, my application now shows as archived, but I haven't received any email saying I didn't meet the requirements. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I've been analyzing my credit history and I don't get why the APC score seems to be a contradiction. I've paid off debts, made timely payments, and even paid off a car loan early. But when I tried to finance a new car, the bank told me I need to pay a higher interest rate because I changed jobs recently. Is this just a show, or is there something I'm missing?

I was trying to sell a console and the person paid me with fake money. I went to the prosecutor's office and they gave me two options: report it as a fake bill or as a scam. If I report it as a fake bill, it will just be sent for verification, but if I report it as a scam, they will investigate. I have the paper with all the details, but I need to go to the judge of peace to make the formal report. Is it worth it to report it?
