Help Margaret Adams Keep Her Son

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Michelle, Margaret's sister. I'm raising money to help Margaret during a difficult time. Her ex husband has decided to take Margaret to  court and try to get custody of their son as well as trying to get more money out of Margaret. 

Her court hearing is in August and her ex is trying to paint Margaret as a terrible mother with mental health issues which prevent her from parenting. Of course this couldn't be more wrong. 

Before this happened, Margaret and her fiance were trying to plan a wedding, but now they are concerned about all the legal fees associated with this court hearing. Margaret has contacted lawyers who tell her it will cost her anywhere between $3000-$6,000 just because of all the motions her ex husband has filed. To fight him means a big chunk of money. Because of this, their wedding has been put on hold.

I won't disclose all the information about this, but let's just say her ex is playing dirty and trying to intimidate and bully Margaret so she'll just give up. And he's willing to spend all his money to do it. 

My sister is a good mom. When she left her ex, he took all her stuff and she left with nothing. On her own, she was able to get a better job and buy her own house. She's provided for her son and been emotionally supportive to him. Her ex continues to bully and abuse her, but she keeps fighting. The sad thing is that all this money spent on legal issues (which could've been settled in mediation, but her ex refused), is money that could have went towards helping his son. So in the end, Margaret and her son suffer. 

I'm hoping that people will step up and help my sister so she can continue to parent her child and marry her best friend. My sister hates asking for help, hates begging for money...even when she's been without, she's never wanted to use government money or take people's help. That's because she's a giving, loving person who is always there for people when they need her. So I'm asking for her because I want to see her move on from her abusive first husband and live a happy life and be able to parent her son without being bullied. If you can spare even $5, it would mean so much!! Every dollar raised here will go towards her legal fees for fighting in court. 

Please consider giving if you can. It would mean the world to me to see my sister come out of this and be able to still get married and provide for her family.
