Pregnant, single mom NEEDS ATTORNEY
Donation protected
I'm a week away from being eight months pregnant. I work very hard at work and at home and I'm barely making it.
I was married for five years and we had two sweet, amazing girls before we decided to divorce. When it came time to finalize the divorce, he had an attorney and I did not. I trusted my ex because we have always agreed on everything concerning our children together. I signed a waiver, not fully understanding what it meant. I feel beyond ignorant...I completely understand now that what I did was I gave him sole custody and no visitation for myself. He now has a girlfriend who is trying to stay at home and raise our girls. I am completely against this as I have always been an excellent mother and completely enjoy being their mother.
I am wanting to hire an attorney to fix what I signed in my own stupidity. Luckily, I found an amazing attorney willing to work with me on payments, but she wants $500 down and I don't know how I can possibly come up with that.
I work at Dominos. I am too far along to be hired by a better paying job. I also have a one year old son who I am taking care of, alone, with no child support. I pay my bills and survive without foodstamps and barely make it at the end of the month.
I now have the added expense of child support to take care of and it's draining me even more. I'm in DIRE need. I can't believe I let him put me in this position, but it can be fixed. I'll do anything for my girls. I'm even trying to sell all of my furniture. Without help... I don't know how I'm ever going to save up $500 to get this attorney. I really want her, she's excellent amd I know she'll help me get things set right again.
I'm turning to my community for help here because I have nobody else capable. Even if reaching out this way doesn't pay for it fully, I'll be grateful to have even the slightest bit of help. Meanwhile, I'm doing everything I can on my end to keep from sinking even though I'm dead tired from being pregnant and working in this heat, and sometimes until two in the morning just to be at work early the next day, not to mention the time it's costing me with my baby boy. I know that if I just keep pushing for a little while longer, I can get us all where we need to be together. Right now, I'm humbling myself in admittance that I need help in areas I cannot carry on my own even though I am truly trying more than my best.
Please, please help us.
In the meantime, I'll be constantly on my knees praying for a miracle and spending every bit of elbow grease I have to obtain that miracle.
God bless and thank you in advance
