Remember how my child was being kidnapped/withheld for 3 months last year into this year?

AND I won a whole ruling about THAT "withholding".

Well guess what?

My ex was able to place me on child support DURING the time period they were literally kidnapping my child by any reasonable person's definition.

I have to pay child support to my child's kidnapper.

EVEN after winning 50/50 parenting time.

Make it make sense lmao.

So now what this Trump admin interest all signals that ICE could be called at any point of the legal process.

A vindictive person or even a person telling the truth could short circuit the already flaky family court system.

Just make an accusation, file it in court, don't wait for final hearings just forward it to ICE and the feds.

And boom, one bad partner will destroy their shared support systems and THEN get one or both deported.

@ProPublica

In the US that actual rate of situations confirmed to need a CPS investigation for Black families is 20% of cases.

⚠️ 🚨

However in West Coast cities as many as 70% of all Black kids will see their family investigated by CPS!

Family court and CPS is just one more place of over policing and racism on FULL display for Black men.

Weaponizing the "courts, cops and whiteness" is NO joke.

There's hard data for the EXISTING racial bias in parenting rights cases and generally contact with CPS for Black kids.

I've already proven in court THREE times that there is NO reason to limit my child custody etc and that my ex's claims were ALL demonstrably false.

But my daughter still faces a 4th court process, a CPS investigation.

Oh great, we're back to my karen calling the cops on me for no reason during child exchanges... again.

We're gonna need a bigger legal fund.

But for real, its wild how much people talk about wanting to support Black people but will literally just watch a karen bleed a black dad dry.

Please help me stop going into debut bc of an abusive ex whose weaponizing the cops, courts, and their whiteness constantly.

In a different sort of absurdity I'm been forced to spend approaching $25k on lawyers just to be able to see my daughter.

I wish family court actually put the kids and families first, but that's just now how things are, especially for Black fathers.

If you're interested in helping keep the legal costs under control my friends and family operate this legal aid fund which goes directly to legal fees.

Still trying to solve our housing insecurity, and haven't made as much progress on that as I'd like. We've had a lot of unexpected expenses on top of the original goal so anything helps.

$500 / $2000

The legal aid fund has been coming along well and thanks to some large offline donations this weekend that's hit 30%!

So I'm going to put the focus the next few days on housing costs.

My ex wishes to sow confusion.
There was no confusion in the courts eyes.

My ex filed false claims in court THREE times. They tried to have me arrested constantly during the court process for made up violations which never occurred.

The courts were not amused and thankfully saw through these abusive antics at every turn so far.
When you cost a black dad $25k in legal fees over obviously false claims, there is no confusion whose weaponizing the system.
