Hi All,

I'm going to keep it brief right now and will add more details about my situation in the future as it is unfolding.

I'm currently hitting a wall and struggling to pay my attorney fees in my effort to simply receive visitation/custodial time with my son via a court order. I'm dealing with extreme opposition in many ways, and that is making this a terrible nightmare in my life. I am taxed out with the emotional and financial stress and feel I am not able to continue with what I felt was the right decision to do as a parent.

UPDATE: I have recently been ordered to also pay his mother's attorney fees that she initiated based on lies, allegations, and false claims of domestic violence against me. Wildly unfair.

Additionally, retroactive child support and daycare costs of last year.

My intentions since I first met Lucas were that I wanted to just be a good dad for him. The reality of that has now come at the highest cost I have ever experienced in my life and seems that this is ultimately going to inhibit my ability to provide basic necessities for myself and Lucas with the cost of all of this.

I'm asking family, friends, and anyone who feels they can help in any way they can. Any little bit helps.

Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart. God bless you.
