I’m Kionte, I recently won custody of my kids last year March from their mom due to many factors ranging from domestic violence in front of them with their mom and her boyfriend, a shooting at their residence which they were fortunate to not be present, drug abuse, the list can go on. It was a swift case and I was awarded full custody. Even before then I’ve been full present in both of my children’s lives since birth and have done everything in my power to give them good lives! My wife and I love them very much and even she goes above and beyond for them and shows them so much love and support. Now I am back in court and basically being punished for the actions I’ve taken. Their mom hired a lawyer and found legal ways to come after me, but not for being an unfit parent. They couldn’t pin anything against me or find ways to show that she would be a better fit having full custody as she has my as 9 year old son and 5 year old daughter crammed in 1 room living at her grandparents when with me I have my own place and they have their own rooms. No, she found a way because our parenting agreement states she is to get them on weekends and sometimes they would miss a weekend due to transportation ( I don’t have a car and live a hour away ) or they would be sick. Even so I have ample days of makeup parenting time without her even asking! She has tried everything from false DCFS claims that were immediately closed to now this and unfortunately with her having a lawyer and me not being able to afford one he has given her the advantage. Now I have until January 14th to come up with $1800 or they will be locking me up for 6 months for her missing out on a few weekends with the kids. I’m currently a tattoo artist and my wife is working as well but times are hard and trying to maintain our bills and taking care of 2 kids is all we can afford right now… I don’t have extra money to just give the courts to pay lawyer fees otherwise I’d have a lawyer of my own but the courts don’t care! I know it’s holiday time and as a man this is truly hard to even type because of my pride but I don’t want my kids to be taken away and I don’t want to be put in jail because of her. God has blessed me to be able to give my kids a good life here so I’m asking for whatever you can to go towards this cause will be greatly appreciated . Thank you so much and happy
holidays
