The judge orders that my parenting plan be granted!

I will be allowed 50/50 parenting time with a bit of a ramp-up.

Friends, not out of the weeds yet, but I will be allowed to be a dad again soon!

I'm over the moon 🌝 🦘 💕

Still waiting to see my baby again.

The judge has been slow getting a written order out, that's cool. It gives me more time to get ready to see my daughter.

This unnecessary custody battle destroyed my savings, happy the court part is partial over but I really do need some help getting back on my feet.

Anything helps.

Despite failing to prove any wrong doing on my part now three times in court, my ex continues to make false allegations on online.

They have posted about how the plan to spend over $20k from this point forward on lawyers to make the already failed case that I did DV simply by breaking up with them.

Anyways, I've instead cut my goal in half to make because it doesn't cost that much get back on my feet if my ex would kindly take their foot off my neck.

1. STILL waiting to see my child. The written ruling hasn't been delivered for 30 days(slow judge). My ex is not complying with the oral ruling.

2. I've been utterly buried in court paperwork and getting the new hackerspace off the ground the last two weeks and just did not even have the spoons left to post a December mutual aid update so here goes.

Holy crap, just checked my email and the court FINALLY issued the written version of the ruling which allows me to get back to being a parent!

Sadly the courts took THREE months to send us the paperwork and my ex has with held my daughter the entire time.

The judge commented on that in the order and I'm happy to see the courts are finally ALSO demanding that I be allowed to see my daughter, starting TODAY!

Been waiting for this https://partyon.xyz/@nullagent/115576531021736836

#ParentingWhileBlack #PNW #FamilyCourt

Due to these false accusations and badly designed court process I had to spend over $15k defending my parenting rights.

The legal costs are still growing to boot.

So I would really appreciate some support staying ontop of the costs imposed on me by these false allegations and costly court processes.

I gotta get things ready for the tiny human 😍

This corner of WA civil & family court is extremely vulnerable to SLAP style abuse like what I have endured.

I really hope people pay more attention and improve this area.

Americans (and western law in gerneral) really fails to do the obvious things in this situation... ensure no parent goes without a lawyer in family court.

If its all about the kids, how is it that parents regularly are bankrupted while all the lawyers make $50k+ via one of these "processes"?

#CourtWatch #PolicyWatch

Ok costs are rapidly adding up. Bc of the short notice I had from the court this week today I've already spend $200 intended for other bills today to get same day deliveries for some household goods to take care of my daughter and needed to take a $60 uber to run some errands.

So yea now I'm extremely short for other already passed due bills and still need a few more child care items.

Despite continuing obstructionism the tiny human is finally home!

Given the short notice I had to spend nearly $300 in today to same day ship a toddler bed, taking an uber, and doing a toddler basics shopping run (current size diapers, toiletries, snacks etc).

We are in urgent need of a larger clothing shopping trip immediately. Their other parent provided them without winter clothes(not even a basic jacket) and with only one set of socks and a single spire diaper.

It is painfully clear we have both spent all of our money in court and now I'm begging.

I need to hit this goal asap. I have other major bills already over due and now have spent the money I was saving for those dealing with this stuff today 😭

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.

#FamilyCourt #WA #CourtWatch #Ruling

I Finally got some quality time with my daughter. Will be more regular going forward.

Wish I could say I was able to focus on the tiny human, but to be perfectly honest I'm having the time of my life getting harassed by my ex and their tiktok followers. My ex has been constantly attempting to bait me into conflict and then IMMEDIATELY posting our texts onto their social media here and on other social media.

If you see these types of posts, please report them and kindly ask them to stop.

I just want to be a dad but instead my co-parent can crash out on TikTok for months calling me an abuser while suing me in court. Loose in court three times THEN still call me an abuser. Then turn around and send 20x threatening texts a day and act like I'm the one making co-parenting difficult.

They started this morning at 7am with threats to have me arrested and claims I'm transphobic.

I don't need to speak to them till next Wednesday.

It's clear they need me to be upset.

But the things is I'm free from their abuse AND I have a court order saying I'm the dad I know I am.

It's really sad to experience this pattern again after breaking up with them. This entire court ordeal has just been a never ending cycle of their attempts to control my life.

That's ok... there's hiphop for these moments and I'm happy with the Man in the Mirror and that's all I need fr fr.

Who doesn't love parenting exchanges that involve disgruntled ex-boyfriends being invited and then trying to provoke a fight and getting dragged away by cops /s

Like I said, some people need you angry, couldn't be me.

Loving my life, chasing babies and hacking the planet.

Hey good news, the tiny human and I found a long term housing situation with a family with a big spare room.

Can you help us make more progress on our fundraiser so we can move this month?

Loving the reshares and words of support but sadly it'd be nice to make progress on our fundraiser sooner rather than later so we can de-stress.

Lately I've got the tiny human 50/50 after the courts threw out my counterparts false claims now THREE times.

I've been facing a ton of online and in-person harassment from my ex's mob of vigilantes, cops & courts have had to be involved and the legal situation is rather active.

On the court watch side we're due back in court in a couple days.

My counter part is attempting to make the case that I have too much time with my daughter too quickly.

As usual this is a huge waste of legal fees & court resources bc the judge ALREADY ruled above. The judge was clear to note that my ex ILLEGALLY withheld my child for 3 months (for a total of 6mo of withholding).

THAT is why he had the accelerated transition, those 3mo were supposed to be the rampup.

https://partyon.xyz/@nullagent/115990970614724029

Of the MANY unnecessary costs that suddenly become needed when you have a high conflict co-parent are things like court ordered parenting apps.

Things like that cost $200+/year just to have a court approved monitor so when my ex sends harassing texts at 7am they go to the court at the same time.

Services like this are why I need to urgently raise funds.

My ex regularly sends harassing messages and I'd really love to be able to have formal record of these.

Damn, shit hit the fan today. My lawyer is not able to put further fees on our tab, the owners of the firm would like to see some of the $15k of legal debt paid down immediately.

My lawyer had been fighting management to not take further payment until the fall but with how MUCH legal services my ex has created its understandable.

IF you're able to make large donations over $500 please DM me so you can pay the lawyer directly.

Please direct legal aid donations to GFM👇🏿

https://gofund.me/c0e9a9cbb

Alright, friends and family are helping me navigate raising legal funds. They have established a GFM specific for raising legal funds and they will deliver the funds raised on GoFundMe directly to my lawyer's firm so I can just focus on parenting and working with my lawyer.

Meanwhile I'll keep the existing chuffed for parenting & living expenses which will go directly to me.

Thanks again for all the love.

One way or another we'll get through this road bump.

To put links in one place:

Depending upon your personal ethics and morals you can exclusively support my fund for legal consul (which our city, co & state don't provide) via GFM:

Legal fund:

$4395 / $15k

https://www.gofundme.com/f/standing-with-alan-in-his-legal-fight

OR you can help me directly survive capitalism during this SLAP style family court process on chuffed or direct payment apps in my bio:

Moving funds:
$500 / $2k

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

I'm extremely overwhelmed by the support so far on the legal fund, in just two days folks have almost donated 50% of a typical monthly legal bill! 🥳

Right now the gofundme sits at $1.5k, when we hit $3k that will provide more than a full month of family court legal representation.

Police contact again at the exchange, makes three in a row.

Co parent showed up to exchange but refused to actually exchange the tiny human due to their made up rules.

Cops were called, they made sure we completed the exchange(made rules can't stop exchange).

Another couple hours for the lawyers and courts now.

I need some help keeping up with this level of legal involvement.

This "system" crazy.

I'm up early today (started at 3am) to finish some court docs due later today.

It's interesting to reflect on the previous nights like this and how things turned out.

It's easy to mistrust the legal system after you've literally faced triple jeopardy (3x separate court processes + investigations for the same complaint).

But as I've done 3x times already, I'm up writing the courts a 4th time about why this is all a waste of everyone's time.

https://partyon.xyz/@nullagent/115464954862488861

And the results so far have been, largely that the courts agree with me. So it's critical to not get discouraged and just keep engaging in good faith and stay focused on showing up.

Got an email from the judge yesterday, he predictably denied the motion brought by my daughter's other parent two weeks ago which aimed to reduce my parenting time.

A completely predictable outcome as usual, and a completely wasteful use of the legal system, but what else is new in this saga?

Someone asked me: "Why did you say you want to win in court? What is Winning?"

Well I think first off, winning just means getting my ex and the courts to allow me to have 50/50 custody.

Why is that winning? It feels like what should be the baseline, right?

Unfortunately to the opposing side their idea of winning is seeing me have far less than 50% custody for no reason.

They caused me to miss our child's 1st bday, thanksgiving and xmas.

Winning to me, is not missing anymore of their life.

I'm so absurdly grateful for the time I finally have with my daughter. It's been amazing to be able to have her around the hacker space, the lil hacker baby immediately takes the "Do Not Move" stickers off of things 🤪

We sadly missed our goal to get into stable housing at the start of this month.

We're playing a bit of catch up this month, so anything helps.

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.

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.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/standing-with-alan-in-his-legal-fight

#MutualAidRequest #LegalAid #LegalFund #FamilyCourt

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.

https://youthtoday.org/2021/08/black-children-most-likely-to-be-investigated-by-cps-study-says/

#BlackDadsMatter #FamilyCourt #FamilyLaw #MutualAidRequest #BlackMastodon

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.
