Hi, all. Most who read this know me, but those who don't I am Bobby. The young man in the photo with me is my Son Wesley.

Before explaining why I am trying to raise these funds for a legal fight, let me give you some backstory.

Almost 9 years ago, I blew up my life and my marriage. I was not married to a great woman, but to say I was a mediocre husband would be the overstatement of the century. I was terrible! She didn't deserve what I put her through, and I absolutely earned every bit of her hate.

What I didn't earn was the vendetta she has been on for the last 8 years to destroy me, minimize my relationship with the kids, push me out of their lives, and replace me as their Dad. Most importantly, the kids don't deserve that!

Over the last 8 years, I have not gone 6 months without the Court being involved in our parenting, and in nearly every case it is her trying to take away my time with them, or take away my right to make decisions as their father.

4 Years ago, funded by her wealthy husband, she hired and attorney, and my relationship with the kids has been under attack non-stop. She managed to leverage tragedy and take the kids from me, almost entirely (except for just over a day and half twice per month), for over a year.

She utilized that time to effectively purchase the affection and loyalty of our daughter, and make that parenting time change permanent. In Dec of 2024, with only days notice, my ex moved and hour away and then put our daughter in a new school, without my permission. I filed for the violation of our court order, and the response from the court was (in summary) "What's done is done, and you didn't format your motion correctly. So we are going to let this go". I now see Lauryn 3-4 days per month, and rarely talk to her, unless her mom has Lauryn text me to ask is she can not come over, so she can go on a trip, or do something my ex has planned.

Since I am still recovering from the $55,000 I spent during our divorce to maintain my relationship with them, I'm still without an attorney, and her attorney has throttled me 3 times in court. How could I ever expect to match him in presenting my case? So, I am no surprised.

When she moved, I think my ex expected our Son Wesley would want to move schools as well. It didn't go as planned. He wanted to stay at his school, and maintain his time with me.

3 weeks ago, I was blind sided by a text message "from him", saying he wanted to transfer to the school down there. I put "from him" in quotes, because after years of getting poorly formatted texts from him, with little to no punctuation, no greeting (Hey, Hi, Hello, etc...), and no capitalization, I got a perfectly formatted and punctuated text message, with a greeting that started with "Hey, I'v been thinking alot....". I have received a few more since, but always at times he is with his Mom, and where I could not call and speak to him directly, like when he is headed in the doors to school, right before bed, etc.... This is the same pattern that played out with our daughter. So, it's not new.

We eventually talked in person. He gave me his reasons. While I can see how a 15 year old would come to these conclusions on why the switch of schools would be good, none of them indicated it would actually be a good change, or benefit him overall. The only semi-legitimate reason was "the kids down there are more laid back". The context of why that is legitimate is that he goes to D'Evelyn Sr. High. If you know, you know. IF you don't it's basically the School of Mines, for Public schools. It's ranked top 5 in the country for public school, and ya, many of the kids are a bit intellectual and awkward.

I do not agree to this change, and I don't think it's best for him at all. He may be disappointed, or even hate me for it, but as his Dad I have to make the right decisions for him in the long run, not the decisions that will make him like me. This clearly puts me at a disadvantage with his Mother, who behaves the opposite.

She has threatened legal action, if I do not agree. Since I am still recovering from the $55,000 I spent during our divorce to maintain my relationship with them, I'm still without an attorney. I have been getting a small amount of help from a Family Law Attorney I have known for about 8 years. He has helped in any way he legally can, without actually filing in to the court as my attorney.

I am trying to raise the funds for this fight, so I can have him represent me, to save the relationship I have left with the kids. His estimate, based on past cases when dealing with an alienating parent is that this is going to run $10,000-20,000.

During our divorce case, when she was trying to take the kids almost entirely, she realized I was running out of money, and said to me "You're going broke. Are you ready to give up yet?". I responded with "I will live under a f'in bridge before I give up on being their Father!".

Since it is wholly und fair to ask my, now, wife to live under a bridge with me, I am praying God will send some angels that can either contribute to my fight, or can share this message far and wide. So that it might reach people who can.

If you can, please donate. If you can't, sharing this will help more than you probably know, and please don't underestimate the power of your prayers.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read this, and for donating or helping me spread the word!!!
