please help us survive the family court injustice

Hi, my name is Heidi and I am a protective mum, I am a UK citizen born and raised, and so are my children, Stephen, Christopher, and Stacey. We have had to flee to a third word country to keep the children safe,

I escaped a violent and controlling marriage, hoping that was enough to protect the children and myself from the physical and emotional abuse we had already suffered. I was wrong, we then endured 2 years of moving homes because he stalked and harassed us, smashing up our homes, trying to snatch the children, we were living in fear even at home as he had threatened to burn the house down with us all inside, he had threatened to kill the children and himself, to hurt me.

We went through the UK family court and he got restraining orders on him to protect us, he was ordered no contact with the children.

He then stalked my current partners ex wife to obtain my address and moved in with her so that he could be a few streets from our new home, to continue his reign of terror.

She has a friend who is a judge and asked this judge to take over our court case, the judge agreed and instantly started lifting restraining orders and threatening and blackmailing me.

She was adamant she was going to take my children and give them to the abusive father.

I googled non-Hauge convention countries and I packed 2 suitcases and left for a holiday with the children, the judge then gave the father 100% custody on paper (as the children were with me in Africa) I thought it would only be a short holiday, get the corrupt judge removed and then we can return as I’ve never and still don’t have any trouble with social services or anyone, I’m a good mother.

The corrupt judge was forced to step down and a new judge removed custody from the father and made the children wards of the court…the corrupt judge then got her friend a high court judge to take over from the new impartial judge and he cut all my finances off, blocked my bank accounts, and basically is trying to starve us out of the country. I have been hanging on for 2 years now struggling to make ends meets and survive here, I am working 3 (1 full time, 2 Part time) jobs and still barely make enough. I am still holding on hoping that justice happens, and we can return in safety to our home country England. I am currently facing 14 years imprisonment for abducting my own children despite me having a vast amount of evidence to prove I’m safeguarding them. The judge declared this month that after being on the case for 2 years, he still has not even read the court file yet and he refuses to look at any evidence.

I can’t afford a lawyer, yet the abusive father has a pro bono lawyer and the court are paying for his other lawyer.

we have 8 more years until my youngest ages out, we have already been here for 2 years and it is so incredibly hard, I am so lucky I still have my children here with me as I know many protective mothers don’t. but I want them to live their lives and be happy not be worrying about food or the problems we are facing.

I feel so degraded that I am having to ask strangers for help, but I will do literally anything for my children, so my pride must take a back seat.

Could I please kindly ask, if you wouldn’t mind donating the price of 1 coffee, or less to help us survive here, I would be eternally grateful.

With all my heart I thank you for taking the time to read this.

As any donations are going to another protective mother to send to me as I don’t have bank details could you please mark any donation …..for Heidi.

Thankyou again for any help you can offer, it means more than you know.
