Hello, I'm the head moderator of this sub and I'm facing bankruptcy and jail because I can't afford the legal cost to keep up the fight. I'm the founder of the subreddit and I'm gonna do a tell all because I'm afraid I'm going to jail again and won't be able to manage this sub for a while.

Last year I was arrested in a contempt of court hearing and I was held for ransom for a $2k payment. Handcuffed, belly chains, leg shackles, frog marched in front of the opposing party(who took pictures) even though cell phones were prohibited in court.

This is being investigated by a state civil rights lawyer but he's expensive and I can't afford to keep paying them at the moment.

After making this $2k ransom I also paid an additional $2k payment that month a few days later because we gave them both a check and cash.... They decided to debit both because that's what government does. We then paid $1k in December which totals over $6,800 on a yearly child support debt of $6k.

This apparently wasn't enough so this spectacular woman who has refused to let me see my son for over six years (with my newfound money to spend on lawyer fees filed another contempt charge). The family court somehow uphed this even though they were paid an additional $3k EARLY on a $500/month support order which would clear the obligation for 6 months at minimum.

Last week we paid an additional $2k because the scheduled automatic payment of $1k wasn't deducted. We paid early and I'm going into court tomorrow ....

Please send my wife support here because she's got access, if I'm jailed again I've told her to post a give send go to get me bailed out.

My lawyers cost an assload of money and they said this could be $3k minimum so I'm going in alone the time because we can't afford it. Yeah, I know everything I've said is don't go in alone... But we're now fucking broke. I'm stupid and I know I'm going back on everything I've ever said but I can't afford council now for malicious prosecution. Either I'm paying out $1.5k to $3k to a lawyer or I'm paying by child support debt off.

I'm freaking the fuck out about this 8am hearing going in without a lawyer and I'm scared as fuck
