HELP US FIGHT FOR CHANGE IN HIV LAW
Donation protected
UPDATE:
We are thrilled beyond words that we were able to get the order reversed! However, we still do not think that the judge did it because she knew it was the right thing to do. We felt as though Judge Maughan was pressured into reversing the motion. She was told by our lawyer during the hearing that her decision would have a national effect. We had also requested that my ex be sanctioned, to prevent him from harassing us further, and to have two consecutive weeks with the babies, for time lost. Both of these requests were denied.
This is not over! We not only plan to fight back for the discrimination and the violation of our 4th amendment rights, but also to try to amend the laws here in Kansas to make it to where what we went through doesn't happen to anyone else. We are hoping that if it does get changed, that other states will follow suit, and change their laws as well. Our dream is to see it become changed on a federal level. No child(ren) should ever be taken out of a loving home because of HIV, or any other disability for that matter.
We are now raising money to continue on with our fight. This money will not only be used to hire a lawyer or law firm that will help us see this through, but also to help us with any expenses incurred in the process.

(Our Original Goal:)
My fiancee's ex-husband is trying take away her parental visitation rights because of my HIV status. We are trying to raise enough money to not only hire an attorney to stop this before it is too late, but also to go after him for discrimination once this original hearing has ended. Please help if you can. Thank you!
