I’ve been dealing with a high conflict custody case since before Max was even born. When I was pregnant, his father physically abused me. I was able to leave an obtain a domestic violence restraining order, but that didn’t mean the abuse stopped. I was first awarded sole custody due to the DV. But over the las two years, conflicts have escalated. Max has a dairy sensitivity that makes him sick, documented by doctors on multiple occasions. His father continues to ignore the doctor orders and feed him dairy, making him sick. This medical neglect coupled with the ongoing emotional abuse and history of abuse are very concerning. However; he is trying to obtain joint custody. My attorney, Scottie Leming, is fighting for Max’s protection in our upcoming hearing. All funds raised here will go directly toward the legal fees. As a single mom, being represented in court is not a privilege I can afford on my own. There is not free help where I live for this situation, and I’ve spent my entire savings just trying to secure representation. Any help at all would go a long way toward protecting our family and making sure Max’s rights are heard. Thank you for taking the time to read this, we appreciate you all
