First, let me say that I appreciate anything anyone can help me with.
I am a concerned father in Florida. My wife and I are going through a divorce and custody battle. My wife walked out and took my son 8 months ago. She left me for her own selfish reasons. She decided that she wanted to be single, but I later found out that she actually left me for another man who she now lives with. We have been going through a custody battle where we both want custody of our son. I am a firefighter/paramedic and live a good, clean life. I have a nice home and provide my son with everything he needs. She on the other hand, quits her jobs on a regular basis. Lives in a 1980 single wide dumpy trailer. Lives with a man and has several friends that she hangs out with. They are all into drugs and I am sure that she is now as well. She is not teaching my son to grow. He is only 14 months old and grows and learns so much when I have him. He gains weight with me and once he is back with her, he loses weight because she does not feed him properly. I pay child support current of $625 per month and she lives with a guy, but still cannot provide food for our son.
I have a lawyer, but am running out of money. I have pulled part of my retirement to fight her. She is using legal aid and has spent almost nothing to fight me. I have currently spent $8700 and my lawyer is wanting an additional $4000. I also need $1900 for a home evaluation. Iwas supposed to only have to pay half of the home evaluation, but her lawyer said she could not afford it so the court told me I would have to pay it if I wanted to continue with the case. I also need $1200 for a mental/psych evaluation for her and myself that is part of my case. She has been diagnosed with mental depression in the past and needs to be evaluated for the courts to make a judgement on that as well.
So, in total I am in need of $7100. I know that is a lot of money, but my son and his welfar is worth every penny. He needs a safe, clean and healthy environment to grow. I can provide that for him where she has taken him into a very unhealthy environment. Please help me. Many thanks to everyone.
