Fathers Who Need Help
Every request is verified. Every dollar goes directly to the father.

A temporary restraining order was filed against me. There was no domestic violence — this is being used as a custody tactic during our divorce. My hearing is in 4 days. I do not have an attorney. I cannot currently see my son. If the order is granted, I lose custody, must vacate my home, and the temporary order becomes the status quo for months.
I was served with a divorce petition on February 13, 2026 that includes a request for full custody of my two daughters (ages 5 and 8). My response deadline is February 23, 2026. I do not have an attorney. I coach their soccer team and take them to school every morning. I need an attorney immediately — I cannot lose my kids without being heard.
I need to fly from Illinois to California for my custody hearing. The case was transferred when my ex moved. Flight is $450, plus hotel ($150) and rental car ($100). Missing this hearing means I lose custody by default. This is the most important day of my life and $850 is all that stands between me and my children.
I owe $1,800 on my attorney retainer, due by Friday. I have already paid $8,200 of the $10,000 over the past 4 months. My attorney filed a motion to withdraw. Trial is in 3 weeks — I cannot find a new attorney in time. I am so close to the finish line. $450 is all I need to keep my attorney through trial.
I owe $4,200 in child support arrears. My license is suspended and I cannot work or drive to visitation. The arrears accumulated when I was laid off for 3 months. I am working again but cannot catch up fast enough. The system punishes you for falling behind by making it harder to earn.
Emergency custody hearing this Friday. The other parent claims the children are at risk — completely unfounded. I do not have an attorney. I have text messages, school records, and medical records showing my children are safe and thriving. Without representation, I will lose my kids based on false claims.
Supervised visits cost $125 per week. The center requires payment before each session. It has been 21 days since I last saw my son. Every missed visit is documented and used against me. My review hearing is in 45 days. Consistent attendance is the #1 factor for moving to unsupervised visitation.
It has been 74 days since I have seen my children (ages 10 and 13). They refuse to come to scheduled parenting time and repeat phrases that are clearly not their own words. I have a 50/50 custody order that has been in place for 3 years. I have filed motions but need a custody evaluator ($5,000) to document what is happening. Every day that passes makes reunification harder. My kids need their dad.
