Getting away from abusive ex and court fees

Donation protected

A year ago, I had married a man, named George. We had known each other for a few short months, and within the world wind of romance, emotion, and what I thought, was love, we had gotten married at the court house. A week later, I had gotten deployed to Singapore. Within those eight months, that I had been gone, I found out he had four children, with four different women. I found out, he only wanted me for my military benefits and base housing, and to evade paying child support, he decided to mooch off of me, a 22 year old girl. Also, he was trying to get my social security, and in order to do so, began harassing me at my workplace (through my chain of command), and my family. In efforts to know the truth, I had reached out to his first ex wife, and the other two baby mothers. I discovered George had a history of documented, domestic violence counts towards women, as well as child sexual abuse and neglect allegations. In efforts to get my belongings out of his apartment, I had to call the police, who escorted one of my closest friends, to get my items, including my car key, where I discovered my social security had been stolen. In January, I was forced to do nothing, other than hire a lawyer and seek an annulment and sue him based on fraud, for he was threatening to get me in trouble with the military, for not paying spousal support (our longest duration of marriage was four months). He has sent countless texts, to my chain of command, to my mother, and even began to blackmail the baby mother’s who stood up and told the truth about his wrongdoing, with evidence. I had since, paid almost 35k in legal fees, and unfortunately the court is making it very difficult to grant my requests, even with the alternative of a dissolution (divorce). I soon, will be going to a new command, living in a new state. Humbly, I admit I am not doing great financially. The military can only help so much, and as prideful as I am, I need help. Every single penny I make, goes towards court. I had to rely on close friends, to make ends meet with basic bills and needs of life, but even then, I do not want to run other people dry, which I ultimately will owe them back. I am humbly asking, for any type of donation, out of the goodness of anyone’s heart, to help me in my time of need. I am struggling to the point, I cannot keep up with court fees alone, yet face having to live out in town and face the daily expenses of living.
