A Devoted Father Facing Legal and Financial Difficulty

Marlon is a loving and resilient Black father to two incredible children. His journey through fatherhood has been marked by strength, perseverance, and unwavering love. Recently, Marlon faced the heart-wrenching challenges of a contentious divorce and a prolonged battle through the family court system and, ultimately, the Vermont Supreme Court. His determination and dedication to his children led to Marlon being granted full legal custody and primary physical rights.

Through it all, Marlon leaned into his community for support, and they rallied around him. However, the journey has come at a steep financial cost. Like many who navigate the complexities of divorce, Marlon has accrued significant financial debt, and his resources have been stretched thin.

Despite his efforts to move forward, Marlon continues to face obstacles. Marlon continues to be dragged back into court, creating an ongoing need for legal representation and piling on additional expenses. While Marlon has shown remarkable resilience, the mounting costs of legal fees and debt have placed an enormous strain on him and his children.

Today, Marlon is reaching out to his larger community for support. By contributing to this GoFundMe, you can help ease Marlon’s financial burden, allowing him to focus on what matters most: being the present and devoted father his children need and supporting his community. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference in Marlon’s journey toward stability and peace for his family.

Thank you for showing up for Marlon, just as he has shown up for his children and his community. Together, we can ensure that this incredible father has the support he needs during this challenging time.
