Seeking Support for Divorce Legal Fees: Ensuring Fairness

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out during a particularly challenging time in my life, and I humbly ask for your support and generosity.

I am currently navigating the emotional and complex process of a divorce. While I have done my utmost to handle this situation with grace and resolve, I find myself in need of assistance to secure a fair and just outcome.

The paperwork on this table is representative of several hours of work unraveling details and records - from the marriage - that I had never seen before.

The challenge also arises in protecting the privacy of children involved, while also self advocating. I have deferred to the former. I have withheld information and been unprepared for the nuances of filing sealed documents. So, I haven’t. That is another space where a skilled professional is needed.

Throughout this journey, the division of our marital assets has not been equitable. This imbalance has placed significant financial strain on me, making it difficult to move forward and rebuild a stable life. To address this, I am seeking the help of a qualified divorce attorney who can advocate for my rights and ensure a fair distribution of our assets.

Unfortunately, legal representation comes at a considerable cost, and I am struggling to afford the necessary fees. This is where I humbly ask for your help. Any contribution, no matter how small, will bring me one step closer to securing the legal assistance I need and achieving a fair resolution.

Your support means the world to me during this difficult time. I am incredibly grateful for any help you can provide, whether it's through a donation or by sharing my story with others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Elisa Petersen (and Ruth Zepeda my dear friend who has assisted with reaching out on my behalf)
