Divorce fee's

Hello,

I am starting this divorce campaign to help me fund my divorce as its costing more than I anticipated.

I married my “high school Sweetheart” we had two children together. They are both under the age of 10. We were together for nearly 13 years before our marriage came to an abrupt end. Keeping an amical relationship has been nearly impossible but I am hopeful. Our separation has caused more bitterness with one another, rather than being merciful with each other. However I’ve been told by others that have been in my current situation that there’s hope & hopefully soon enough we can achieve to carry a civil relationship. As far as today, I simply just want to finalize our marriage and equally 50/50 be responsible for the financial upbringing of our kids alongside live a happy and peaceful life as we both intend. Very easy to say difficult to attain. Especially as we don’t share the same mindset on what’s fair and what isn’t.

A little back story?

My ex was always the primary bread winner of our house. I worked here and there between pregnancies. We had what most would call the “American Dream” Jobs, home, vehicles, health and a family.

In May of 2015 I made the decision to separate from my ex after the discovery of an unforgiven betrayal. It was the hardest decision I’ve made. I based it on the principals I want to raise both my daughter and son. I want both of them to know the meaning of self-value, respect and what a real marriage is. I never want them to be afraid of commitment but also don’t want them to be afraid to say- no, I’m worth more.

After accepting my reality I decided to go back to work full time. I was blessed of landing a well-paid position and was able to stand alone on my feet. For the next two years along with a lot of unnecessary drama (I won’t bore you with the details) I worked very hard on myself (I hope many woman and men can relate that after being in a relationship for so long and having kids you tend to lose the person you once were) I worked hard to save up for a house for my kids. I wanted to do thing right not knowing I was doing things very wrong. I never pursued my ex for a divorce and also never collected child support. I can say I was proud, I wanted him to see I could do it on my own. Which I did and have been. However because of that, it’s complicated my divorce so much. All my accomplishments technically are also his. I bought a home for me and my kids… after long years of saving pennies. All because I wanted for them to have what was taken away from them. Yes, I regret doing things backwards. Holding on my trails and tribulations for learning experiences.

So here I am… after so long I finding it difficult to make ends meet. From raising 2 children on my own, housing and all other living expenses asking for help from the kindness of your heart. I don’t want much nor do I want it all. Just to alleviate the expense of my divorce so I can focus on my children without having to worry what will be in our kitchen table next week.

The greatest lesson I’ve learned through this whole ordeal has been “what is yours will be yours, what isn’t will never be” Never ending hope, faith is what brings peace to our hearts.

Thank you, with great joy and tears. Thank you all.
