Donate to Help Jaian Secure Legal Representation

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jaian. For 26 years, I've been a devoted and very family-oriented member of our community, often volunteering my time to help others. I have 4 beautiful children whom I love dearly.

Unfortunately, in May of this year, my husband of 24 years, with whom I would have celebrated 25 years on September 11 of this year, decided to do the unthinkable. After I confronted him about a phone call I recieved, he made sure that I couldn’t report him and decided to to put false allegations against me. Also come to find out he had already planned to have a lawyer representing him , months before he decided to do what he done. He must of known I’d eventually find out about his inappropriate behavior.

As you can imagine, I was blindsided by this.

Literally a week after the protection order was given to me, we had an ex parte hearing in which he had a lawyer and I had none. As the judge explained, without representation, it's hard for one to defend themselves, and so I lost the case. My estranged husband was told to still allow me to’ see my children in which he refuses to do. In speaking to a number of of lawyers who read about the allegations, they all said the allegations were bogus and wanted to help me fight but as you can imagine, lawyers are not cheap at all.

So I have no legal representation. He literally left me homeless, without transportation, couch surfing, and more. I thank all who have kept me safe and been very encouraging to me throughout this horrible ordeal. But as I was a stay at home all these years, i am just now trying to get on my feet with a new job, but I'm in desperate need of a lawyer. I need a lawyer that will help me fight these false accusations. I found an attorney who was a lot more reasonable than many with whom I initially spoke. He read the allegations too and said the same thing. They’re false! Of course with this lawyer I will also be suing him and family for defamation of character and deceit and emotional distress . I will be pursuing divorce too once he admits it as the other person did. It breaks my heart that I even have to do this but , it’s needed.

However, this attorney requires a fee of $2000. I would truly appreciate some help. I'll forever be indebted to you. As a Firefighter, my estranged husband has funds to pay for an extremely expensive lawyer; I have nothing for now.

Again , due to the situation at hand, this critical legal situation is impacting my life. My estranged husband also messed up my credit , leaving me to struggling to afford legal representation, and adequately defending myself against false accusations .

Your donations will directly go towards covering legal fees in my case , and helping me to fight for a fair outcome. If you find it in your heart to contribute, any amount , big or small, is truly appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance for your time and support.
