My name is Casey Deacon and I am fighting for my daughter, Mia. I am trying to raise the funds required upfront for the court to schedule my final custody hearing. Without this payment, my case cannot move forward, and the court will not have the opportunity to review the evidence regarding my daughter’s well-being. I have been in this legal battle since February 2023. During that time, I have exhausted my savings and incurred significant legal fees, which I am still paying off.

Despite a court-ordered parenting plan, it has been violated hundreds of times, all of which are documented. These violations include denied phone calls, interference with communication, refusal to co-parent, and exclusion from important decisions about my daughter’s life and care. There are documented incidents showing my attempts to maintain consistent contact with Mia being interrupted or denied. When Mia came into my care with visible bruising, photos were taken and DFCS was notified. Beyond physical concerns, there is documented emotional distress that has deeply affected her.

I have complied with every requirement asked of me, documented everything, and remained focused on my daughter’s best interests. Yet I am now being told that unless I can pay the required legal fees upfront, my case will not be heard. This final hearing is about accountability, safety, and a child’s right to maintain a healthy relationship with her parent. It is the court’s opportunity to review the evidence that has been collected over nearly two years. I am asking for help because I have no other option. Every donation goes directly toward securing this final hearing. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing our story. Thank you for your support. I will never stop fighting for my daughter. With gratitude, Casey
