Ruth had been married for 9+ years with two children when her husband walked away from his marriage and filed for a divorce in 2016. She originally settled out of court with a hope that the marriage could be reconciled (she was very amicable in the settlement). However, after a year her ex-husband has now decided to go back to court in order to modify (lower or drop the child support) while demanding more time with the children. With the marriage dissolved, Ruth took on the responsibility of a medical bill (about 3,000.00) that occurred during their marriage when she had to go to the hospital. She financially had no choice but to go back into the work force which she willingly did, but this has not allowed her enough time to raise the sufficient amount of money to retain a lawyer.

All the monies will be used in the battle to help in her defense in the court and the custody arrangements of her children. Thanks for anything that you may feel led to give. Every little amount will help. As her parents we are also helping her with the expenses.

If you want more information about the situation, please feel free to contact my husband or I, and we will attempt to answer any and all your questions completely to your satisfaction.

Latest Update

Please continue to pray! Court date is today at 1:30! Please pray for wisdom, discernment, and strength! Thanks for all of your prayers, love, and support!!

Good morning Facebook friends and family. Just wanted to give an update. We will be going to court three weeks from today. Please continue to pray for all of us. Pray for wisdom and discernment. Please pray that the Lord will work. We appreciate all of your prayers, encouragement, and support! God has been good and we know that He is in complete control. Hope all of you have a wonderful week!! Love you!

Beth Chapman — 6 years ago

Court date is set for April 23. I will let you know the time later so you can be praying as well. Isaiah 54:17 - No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Beth Chapman — 6 years ago

Please keep praying for this situation. It is getting difficult for Ruth, and Ruth is getting weary with standing alone. Keep bringing her before the throne.

Beth Chapman — 6 years ago

Again, let me say thank you to those who have given and to those who are praying. The court date is no set for April 23.
