Help Kayla save her kids from ongoing alienation.

Hi, My name is Kayla Thompson and I am asking for help raising money to save my two boys. I do not like asking for help but at this point, I am putting pride and all else that may arise from judgment on the back burner. My boy's health and best well-being are much more important than anything else. Yesterday was my oldest son's 13th Birthday, it was very difficult not being able to see him and this is when I made the decision to create this fundraiser to ask for help. My boys have always been my everything, I was a stay-at-home mom for the first 10 years of their lives, we were inseparable. When they began school, I started substituting at their school, I was on the PTA Board, the SIC, and the Advisory Board to be fully and actively involved as much as possible.

I never thought I would be without them especially because of their father for any amount of time, I've realized now that people change. We began the divorce process in early 2020, we had an agreement that we would alternate weeks for visitation with our boys and we also agreed to have an amicable divorce. That all ended once he was served papers and noticed the money that he may be ordered to pay. The divorce became very nasty then the pandemic hit which caused the courts to be closed, it held up our divorce which made it easier for him to keep them from me. He refuses to let them see me, call me, text, video chat, email, or even look at me in passing even though we have 50/50 custody and threatens them if they do, he has poisoned their minds with lies for almost two years now. I've spent the last two Christmases, Mothers day, their birthdays, Thanksgiving, and all other important events being without them, I didn't even get to talk to them over the phone. There is so much more to what they have been put through and me but I'm trying to keep it together with this post.

I had legal representation for the first 13 months of the divorce, at that point my then-attorney and I both agreed to end our business relationship due to the circumstances. I've spent well over $15,000 trying to get my boys back but at this point with working two full-time jobs, reaching out to non-profits all just to save face from embarrassment and being judged, it doesn't matter me to me anymore, my kids need me and everyone that knows us personally knows how much I love my boys.

Last week I met with an Attorney, after listening to what he said and the way this should be handled made so much sense, he said exactly what I was thinking and what I already knew should have already happened by now. But since my husband and I were both without legal representation he will continue to get away with alienation and nothing will change until it is placed in front of a judge properly. I am asking for help to save my boys as quickly as possible, they are 11 and 13 as of today.
