Father/daughter need to be reunited

Donation protected

This nation is riddled with children being raised without a father. When you have a dad who not only functions as an amazing father but as the primary parent in a child’s life, you would think that would be a relationship that would be nurtured and treasured. That is the story of my best friend Alan West, a retired veteran. He is an amazing father, until about a month ago he had never been away from his daughter, middle of the night feedings, diaper changes, and learning to do little girl hair. His daughter adores him. Her mother had assumed the secondary parental role and was okay with that. When the little girl was only 3 years old her mother chose to take an overseas assignment that didn’t allow for dependents to go. There were other assignments available that her family could have moved with her, but she needed a break from family. After 6 weeks at a training school she could have come home for 2 weeks before going overseas, but that didn’t happen. 14 months passed before mom moved back into the home, leaving Alan as the only parent during this time. A new move took the family to Washington State, attempting to establish a new normal for their daughter. Well a mere 60 days past and mom decided she didn’t want Alan around anymore. Instead of just asking for a divorce she has made extreme allegations against Alan in order to remove him. After appearing before a judge the first time and three thousand dollars later, the judge ruled against the mother stating he believed her credibility was questionable. A small 3 days later and still not able to see his daughter Alan was served with more papers removing him from the home again, where he is sleeping in his truck again. The attorney he has acquired is asking for another five thousand dollars. Which may have been possible for Alan to acquire by selling his personal property, however the mother sold his property while he was removed from the home the first time. There has been no reprieve for Alan.  The mom is mentally unstable and in a new unit for less than 2 months so they haven’t been able to see the problem she really is, therefore he is not getting any help from her command. He hasn’t seen his daughter in almost a month and we need your help to change that. He doesn't want to remove the mother completely from the child’s life he just wants to make sure the mother can’t do this again.
