In 2016 I married a man I had met on a dating website after only a few short months of dating. I married this man after he pressured me to just do so to appease his religious beliefs. Young and niave, I thought no harm could come of a court house ceremony just so I could continue to be with him, because I felt love for him.
Two months later I discovered I was pregnant. I was so happy. Upon telling this man, he pretended to be happy. Only to pack his belongings and leave me, abandoned and pregnant and with no money, alone in our apartment, giving me no intention of ever coming back, even though I was hysterically crying for him to stay. He showed no emotion.
Flash forward 2 1/2 years. Unable to afford attorney fees to divorce the man, because he left me jobless and struggling, I am still married to him. I was unable to locate him on my own to serve divorce papers, and divorce is costly, as a single woman with all my money taking care of my children. Now this man has come back into the picture, with a vicious attorney, defaming my character and literally using the court to gaslight and abuse me. He is trying everything in his power to ruin my reputation as a mother and person and take my son from me, even change my son's name.
This man has never met his son BY HIS OWN CHOICE until child support was enforced on him. I allowed him to see his son at advice of my attorney, even though I have been made terrified by this stranger and his sudden intentions with my son, when he never cared before (even though I had begged him via phone messages for years).
I need to keep my son safe. I have a TON of attorney fees that need to be paid. And because this man is dragging this case all over the place, I have no choice but to crowd fund.
I have 20 days to respond to yet another motion, and I can't go in this twisted complicated battle without my attorney.
Please, help me keep my 2 year old baby safe. Please help me keep him with his siblings and out of the hands of a man he has never met.
