DESPERATELY NEED HELP OBTAINING A FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY
Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Kelsie, I am writing this in a desperate attempt and plea for help!!
I am DESPERATELY pleading for help with the funds so that I can obtain a family law attorney.
After finally getting up the courage to leave my abusive husband of 10 years, he is now coming after me for sole custody of our 2 and 7 year old. With the help of his parents he has obtained legal council and has petitioned for sole custody, including full control of our children's daily lives and schedules.
His family knows of the domestic violence, he has priors and has been violent with family members in the past as well, knowing all of that they are still protecting him and have paid for him to have a lawyer.
This man has nearly killed me and abused me and my children for the last 10 years and now he is trying to take my children from me after I finally got the courage to leave! I DESPERATELY need a lawyer and I have exhausted all resources! I have contacted my local DV centers and women’s victims assistance who put me in contact with legal aid but I was still quoted $5400 for the retainer.
If anybody could please donate, it would mean the absolute world to me and I would be eternally grateful!!
Sincerely,
A broken mom trying to do right by and protect her babies!
