[Solved] Help needed, the courts are breaking me.

Hi guys,
I don't know how this works but I thought I would drop a message to say help.
I am currently locked in a court battle with my ex partner over my baby girl.
She has decided to play the "he abused me" card and obviously this has opened a giant can of worms.
I suffer with depression and anxiety and she knows this, I am also at the point that I have thrown every penny I have (which is not much) at this and I will be losing my house on the 1st March because of this.
I don't know what to do anymore, I have set up a gofundme campaign to see if I can raise a little to help me keep pushing this further.
My kids mean to he world to me and to lose them over stupid lies and accusations would destroy me.

First off mate remove your daughters name and you'd be best off changing your profile name to something nondescript as this is a public forum and anyone can see it and your life could be made more difficult in court.

Are you using a solicitor? If so they really don't make a difference you can easily represent yourself that should save you a bob or two. Don't worry about the allegations absolutely every single dad I know gets all sorts of false allegations threw at them in court and the courts have seen it a million times over as long as you are not a direct threat to your child you will almost certainly get decent contact in the end it just takes time and patience.

Have a word with your mortgage lender ASAP as you could just pay the interest off for a while whilst you get back on your feet they are usually pretty understanding if you;re truthful with them.

Slim 🙂

Hi There,
.
Sorry to hear about your situation, as Slim has said if you are using a solicitor then either keep them in the background and ask questions when you need them or get rid and go alone.
.
There are lots of organisations that can offer you free advice about your financial situation, speak to your mortgage lender first and then try the local council to see who they can put you in touch with.

Just to add to what the others have said,

It might be worth you attending a Families Need Fathers meeting in your area where you can get guidance and support on all these issues.

Good luck and take care of yourself

"My kids mean to he world to me and to lose them over stupid lies and accusations would destroy me."
The minute you and your ex called it a day, you already lost your children. Forget you have children, because the courts will not give them back to you and it sounds like your ex is the usual lie telling c**t women turn into when the relationship is over. Get a pal, find another girlfriend, shoot pool on a Friday and forget everything, it will save YEARS of heartache...I and millions of dads have and still sail that ship.

Hi.
.
Firstly Slim I've removed your post, so as not to allow things to escalate.

Paulus.

Please can I ask that you are respectful of all of our members, you may have been through the mill, and come out the other side with a bad result, but we are here to try and help everyone get the best results they can, I agree that things don't always work out for Dad's and I speak from personal experience, but just becuase it hasn't worked out for me I and the other members are still devoted to give constructive advice to others going through similar situations.
.
Being negative and saying walk away and forget you had children, could only add to members heart ache of what they are going through, we are always realistic in our advice and never tell members that the court battle or discussions will be easy.
.
If only one member takes your advice and walks away from the child or children they are fighting to have a relationship with, when actually the courts could have ruled in favour of them, then that would be one member too many that has lost a chance to have a relationship with their child or children, and the worst part of that is that the children miss out on having a relationship with thier father.
.
From the posts you have written so far, you haven't shared any detail of why you feel the way you do (though I haven't as yet read al of your posts)
.
Please remember that although your battle may be over and you may not have gotten where you wanted to be, other members are here for support and guidence during thier cases.
