My fiancé left with our child one night, and won't even tell me how our son is doing. She is schizophrenic, and became convinced of a number of delusions, one of which was that I was determined to harm both of them. I've never shown any behavior that would indicate that intention. I have been sending them money and baby supplies to ensure that my son is taken care of, but I am going through the legal process to get my right to see him again.

His name is Rori, and not a day goes by where I don't think of him or worry about him. This whole ordeal, including the time it took to gather the necessary paperwork, has already robbed me of 3 months of time with my son. Any parent knows how important that time is with a baby, and how many milestones I've missed out on witnessing for myself as his father. I can't bear to miss anymore time. My goal isn't to take him from his mother, but rather to keep his father in his life. I believe a child should know both of their parents, one way or another.

I found a fantastic lawyer who is willing to help me, but her retainer fee is very high. I'm already working nearly 60 hours per week, and can't even afford a vehicle at the moment after you consider how much I am sending Rori's mother for childcare, so this is a bit out of my price range. Any assistance I can get through this gofundme would be a huge help, and will always be remembered whenever I see Rori again.
