Hi, I'm Sage. I'm a 26-year-old Tucson resident who recently escaped an abusive marriage and am now fighting for my safety and future through the legal system.

What I'm Raising Money For

I'm seeking funds to hire a qualified divorce attorney to represent me in my ongoing divorce case. After leaving an emotionally and financially abusive marriage, I'm currently:

Without stable housing

Unable to afford legal representation

Facing an ex-spouse who is not honoring our spousal maintenance agreement and has obtained legal council through a savings account unknown to myself or the courts.

Trying to rebuild my life while pursuing vocational training

Why I Need Help

During my marriage, I experienced severe financial abuse that left me completely dependent and without resources:

I was denied access to any financial information or personal money

I wasn't allowed to work outside the home

I had no control over basic necessities like groceries or personal items

Now that I've left, my ex-spouse has refused to make the originally agreed upon spousal maintenance payments. I'm currently staying with friends while trying to get back on my feet, but I can't navigate this complex legal situation without proper representation.

My Goal

The funds will go directly toward:

Legal fees for divorce proceedings

Court costs and filing fees

Ensuring I receive fair treatment in asset division and spousal support

I'm working hard to become financially independent through vocational training, but I need legal protection now to secure the foundation for rebuilding my life.

Any contribution, no matter how small, helps me move closer to freedom and stability. Thank you for considering supporting my journey toward independence and safety.
