Trying to keep from loosing it.
Donation protected
Thank you in advance for reading my story. While it is beyond normal, and there is so much that has happened for sake of sanity I will summarize it all the best I can to the current pressing matters.
Since 2014 I have been fighting a divorce and custody battle with my ex. I had to move out of state when my baby was two months old for an immediate job that I was getting.
I have just kept my nose barely above water fighting all his lies and tricks in the courts from two states away, as well as solely support my child for the bulk of this fight. I have spent well over $60,000 on legal expenses alone. I feel like I have done the best I could financially, as well as emotionally through all this.
unfortunitly the legal system is a burocrocy, and it breaks my heart to think about the women dealing with same kind of ex that can’t afford the fight this long... this is the kind of situation you would swear can only be in a movie plot (but for many women it’s not).
Trial dates have finally been set for the most recent two year battle. My ex is playing games (he can beyond afford it), has lied under oath so many times and there is a lot of evidence finally obtain to prove it all.
Unfortunitaly I became unemployed the end of Jan. 2018 and now stand to lose everything. My home I have established and custody of my child.
Of of course I have the house payment, car payment, and bills do as well as living expenses but I have spent my last bit of funds to get a new lawyer so that I can finish this round of issues.
However, if I can’t sent $800 to the GAL then she’s not going to be allowed to continue her side of the investigation, and the courts are so sick of this case (as I am as well) they have stated that there will be no evidence allowed and only testimonies will be allowed. Which is mind boggling to me since none of his testimonies to date have any honesty in them, but he has played the system well and won the favor of the courts at the moment.
I need to hit the job hunt heavy and find employment, the courts are pressuring me to move back to that town and get a job (Which means a huge cost of living change, selling my house etc), if I don’t focus on this case, which I haven’t been able to due to trying to manage life also, I will lose custody of my baby to this persons deciet and games.
I am turning to strangers and bumming for help (and it’s killing me). My family has helped me as much as they could through all this and we are all out of funds.
the funds raised will go towards GAL fees needed ASAP, lawyer costs for trial, and living expenses for the next two months so I don’t lose everything I have fought so hard for these past four years, while I get my turn to present the evidence and facts (and pray the courts really see it), as well as take care of my child, gain employment and hold on till trial with the hopes there can be a just outcome.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I wish I could be more detailed with the current issues going to trial but due to on going litigation I can’t.
I greatly appreciate you time to read this!
Prayers also needed and so much more valuable!
