Trying to get back on our feet after custody case

My name is Z and I'm the proud father of four pretty awesome kids, two by birth and two by luck. We've been caught up in a year-long legal case between me and my children's birth mother. My family and I are all grateful that it's over now and everyone's good with the results.

However, the court ruled for me to pay a significant amount of money in legal fees ($15,000) that I didn't incur and frankly do not have, in addition to my own fees that I'm still working to pay off.

I'm worried that this will not only impact the older two kiddos, but our younger two as well. Lisa and I are working to pay it off as soon as possible, but it's going to be a struggle for us all.

Anything anyone can do to help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Z & Lisa
