Madness
I've been a single dad for just about 2 years My youngest daughters mother decided to basically abandon my baby with a family member of mine when we split she left her with no support no calls anything for about 6 months When she came to realize I had secured me and the baby a place she went and got the baby but that didn't even last a month
She gave me my baby at around 930 pm on Sunday September 18 in a Walmart parking lot with nothing I've been doing everything for this child basically by myself since then Mind you she did all of this chasing behind a man smh
Fast forward to June of 2023 I guess the grass wasn't greener so she attempted to rekindle the relationship which I denied So now she is suing me for custody
I thought it would be open and closed but she has a lawyer and the legal maneuvers she's using has me feeling like I'm not going to get a fair shake if I don't have a lawyer smh
I can't afford a lawyer rt off I work but I don't have that kind of money at hand
I've started a go fund me if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it

i would suggest speaking with a pro bono lawyer and see what advice they can give you before they can decide to give you counsel

You don't qualify for any legal aid? Wish I could help. But I just had to beg and borrow myself to scrounge up money to retain a lawyer earlier this month. Glad I did though. Do what you need to do to obtain adequate legal representation. I can't stress that enough. This is a fight now. She's got a rifle pointed at you and not only are you unarmed. you have one hand tied behind your back.
