But went and knocked some errands out, finally got yet another phone service and have a working phone again at last.

Caught up with my lawyer to discuss the bill today and thankfully their payment terms are very flexible and they will not stop work until 30days passed due. Dude was just working so hard on the latest filings he forgot to checkin yesterday.

Cannot thank fedi enough for the unwavering support.

So anything still helps but I can see the storm clouds clearing.

Amazing, we're half way to my goal to cover part of legal expenses from June.

I've already paid $7k to lawyers which means finding an additional $3k is pretty tough. I need help paying the rest of the lawyer bill and covering my basic expenses. I also STILL pay for a storage unit used by my ex.

$3000 - June Lawyer bill remaining
$300 - Storage space for my ex
$700 - Bills, food, clothes

It's Monday morning, I've been up all night getting court documents ready. Would you mind throwing me a few bucks so i can get breakfast and lunch and not have to worry?

It takes so much economic cost to even have a shot of complying with ridiculous court orders with actual paperwork. But to also make me homeless in the process is clear no one is expected to have justice.

Still trying to catch up to court expenses. I just pad $336 for the storage space my ex uses.

I can't actually afford these types of bills on top of the $3000 in lawyers fees they have caused me.

Anything you can do to help means more money for me to remain housed and able to work with my lawyer to resolve this seperation.

If you're able to court watch at 9am PST I'd appreciate the support, linked below 👇🏿

I hopefully will find out if I'll be able to share my daughter's first birthday with her next month. Parenting while black in America is wild.

I'm still also working on catching up on legal bills of June and can really use any donations if you're able.

#CourtWatch #BlackMastodon

Curve ball, the judge today had a conflict of interest and needed to recuse herself so everything remains in limbo until we return to court on August 12th.

I'm STILL trying to rescue my 20yr old phone number before it expires and is resold. The judge today had to order my ex to return it and my ex lied to the judge once more claiming that they hadn't deleted it when infact my ex is the only person who could have deleted it because they are the sole owner of the phone plan.

The judge ruled that neither party can delete any other parties services, this is an extremely ordinary requests and I of course have abided this norm the entire time.

The only party who has broken the court order and threatened to delete any service was my ex.

The only party whose services have been deleted in violation of the order is me and my phone line.

With your continued donations I'm able to continue complying until the next hearing.

Thanks again for the support!

This feels like one of this NPR fundraising factoids but

If 10% of the people who see this post donate $10 I'd probably hit my #MutualAidRequest and you'd be materially helping a black father have better outcomes with the police state.

Complying with courts and cops costs money.

And when you run out of money they will try to put you in jail unconstitutionally.

Good news, I've just won against these false allegations. 🎉 🥳

I'm facing a ton of economic fall out due to the cost of responding and complying fully with this process. I specifically refused to request legal fees from my false accuser bc that would only harm our child and empower the state even more.

Thanks again for the support and I should be able to be a father again in time for my daughter's birthday. 🎈 🎂

Despite being found innocent I still have over $6k in outstanding legal debt, more bills coming and became housing insecure as a result. 😭

I'm thankful to have had significant support to be able to defend myself from these false accusations but it's sadly not over yet.

Please help me get back on my feet so I can get back to being a dad!

Victory was short lived.

Throughout this week I texted my ex to try and find time to talk over our co-parenting plan and to find time for me to come see our daughter (her birthday is soon).

My ex ignored me all week then finally replied today telling me that despite the court order saying that my ex doesn't have excluvise custody they are illegally denying me access to my daughter.

Even just to visit for her birthday.

Needing more legal support 😭

Had I not been falsely accused I would have EASILY been able to cover my half of rent for the rest of the year or all of rent for 5 months.

Instead I was forced spend all my money on getting a lawyer. I won in court but now will become homeless in 6 days.

The racism, abuse, and harassment I'm being subjected to should be illegal.

Really missing this tiny human. She just turned one this month and I was really looking forward to celebrating with her.

As soon as the court things were over I contact my ex to start working out our parenting schedule and to make sure my daughter could see her dad on her birthday.

Instead my ex told me no.

They told me to come back with a court order.

So now my ex is withholding my daughter from me and it will now have to take them to court to see my child.

https://chuffed.org/project/145522-help-falsely-accused-black-dad-get-back-on-his-feet

I've heard this type of situation called a "grey area" of US/WA laws around parenting, there's nothing grey about parental alienation.

Evidently one parent can run off with the child denying the other of contact without any legal reason to do so.

Now obviously it doesn't look great in court to do this, its a very childish dare to see if I'm -able- to spend money on court again.

My ex seemed to enjoy the reality that going BACK to court is extremely costly for me.

Children have a right to be loved by both of their parents! Alienating a child simply because a relationship didn't workout is a heart breaking thing to do to a child.

Thankfully there IS legal recourse, only problem is I need to spend even more money on lawyers to hold my ex accontable.

With the support of my community we can make sure my daughter is raised with a loving father in her life!

Hey so things really suck economically & mental health wise rn.

Anything helps

If the average American can't afford an unexpected $400 expense, imagine the difficulty of staying afloat when a single Karen's false accusations can set you back nearly $20k.

The August bill just came in(or rather i had the spoons to finally look), its OVER $6k dollars.

One false allegation cost me thousands and now I have $1 fucking dollar.

How the fuck do I end this nightmare? I just want to go back to being a dad.

After spending tens of thousands of dollars just to keep the system honest and winning its wild see the utter indifference of a lot of people for the massive economic and police abuses my ex subjected me to entirely over lies.

Every other week for the last 3-4 weeks my ex made false claims to cops that were rapidly thrown out of court.

I won, but I'm left homeless and destitute when I otherwise was heading towards stability. This is so fucked up.

#MutualAidRequest #BlackDadsMatter #PNW #Housing #homeless

Over the past week my ex filed an "emergency restraining order" attempting to rehash their false DVPO which was already thrown out of court.

This too was thrown out of court again today on so many reasons all I can ask is that one day they just stop lying, delaying, harassing and acting like a karen. And let me see my daughter.

I can't even recount the abusive racist ways that my ex is weaponizing the system, it'd be a book.

Today's take away is that around 60% of our local civil court judges do infact remember when someone blatantly lies and Karens in their court rooms.

All of the judges in this latest round served in previous court interactions and my ex's deeply unprofessional interactions have clearly not be convincing.

This isn't really due to the dilligence of the judges, or me and has everything to do with how blatantly abusive my ex has been in court.

#ParentingWhileBlack

Despite this 2nd massive win, my ex was successful once again in wasting MORE money and time crying wolf that could've been better spent directly supporting our daughter or negotiating in good faith.

Bc of how wasteful this has all become my lawyer has encouraged me to prioritize fund raising for housing needs for myself 1st and foremost.

So this month I'm focused on raising about $2000 to secure new permanent housing for my daughter & I.

Throughout this month my ex has continued to illegally withhold my daughter from me. Every week or two I've setup a time for my daughter to be in my care and I'm open and able to do 50% parenting.

However, my ex continues to ignore my requests and to post a completely false narrative of abuse or my disinterest in being a parent. This is completely false.

It sadly may take months for me to legally force my ex to stop harassing me and alienating my child from me.

This entire situation is absurd and even the judges know it. This is the first ruling regarding my ex's false claims.

The problem with the court, even when you win, is that the state makes no effort to repair the damage:

- $15k in legal costs and debt
- Being separated from my 1yo daughter for 80+ days
- Losing my housing immediately
- Friends & Family Receiving death threats from my ex's friends
- My ex constantly spreading false and unspecified accusations of "DV"
