Hopefully, the final stretch.
Hey everyone,
It's been quite a while since I have been back at this point, so I suppose there is much to fill you in on. Since December of 2019 I have been locked in what I can only describe as a brutal child custody case. Over the last year I have spent nearly $30,000 fighting to save my daughter, and to preserve her future from a life where she would be condemned to failure. For those that don't know, my little girl had to endure a lot of awful things under the purview of her biological mother. She was neglected heavily, malnourished, developmentally stunted, and overall in generally poor living conditions in a home that any sane person would not consider reasonable. Since I finally got the courage to do what is right and remove her from that situation it has been a long, drawn-out, and expensive endeavor. One I would do all over again if I had to, but thankfully may be soon ending in coming months. Last November, she opened a case in Texas where she resides despite court not being concluded in Connecticut. The mother attempted to strip me of my parental rights in their entirety and she had believed somehow that opening a case in Texas was the answer despite pending litigation in Connecticut, where she was not getting her way. Thankfully, this was a colossal waste of time and money and it helped my cause, but I had to hire attorneys to crush it. Beyond that, the trial in Connecticut still continued to rage on. At a particular point I had 4 lawyers at once in two cases in two states. Recently, I was finally able to truly voice many of my concerns and speak pure facts about the case, and Connecticut finally accepted jurisdiction. This means that the case, which is on hold in Texas will soon be dismissed and I will be able to drop my lawyers there, and now I will soon be proceeding with the trial in Connecticut. With that said, my attorney had me replenish the retainer with a full $4,000 due to the amount of work still left to do. I have mostly paid for the majority of this, and will continue to do so. With that said, I humbly ask for your support once again, so that I may mitigate the financial damage I must endure, so that my little girl may have a brighter future free from abuse, and tailored towards success.
Tonight I put her to bed, and as I looked, I am, like many times, overcome with an almost animalistic fear which I believe must be an engrained instinct. The key elements of being human on the most basic level. I am afraid because I never, ever will let her go back to that, and I know what must be done to protect her, every cent I spend is worth a mountain of gold to me, but alas, I am not rich, and my fear lies in what ruin I may bring myself to do in my pursuit of her future. I will do what I must, regardless of any help. If you choose to, you will have my gratitude, and you will have contributed to saving her life. Help me help her. Thank you.
Sincerely,
David
