Olivier was not asking that you simply give money to his cause, he is only asking for sympathy from those whom would understand his position.  You don't have to offer any money.  A sympathetic response would be good enough but any donations would not be refused.  You know, being that there are mothers and fathers here, I would have at least expected more replies as like sluff made.

I am humbly asking to whoever this story has touched, to whoever has been moved the slightest bit by what you have read to please, please donate whatever little money you can spare.

No, he is asking for money "Straight-up". No where does he ask for sympathy or words of encouragement. He is simply asking for money.

Sometimes desperation makes people do things that are not well thought through, and I believe a plea for money on the net is one such thing.

But as regards advice , Sluff's was extremely good.

Find a support group and learn from their experiences; find a law library and become as knowledgeable as you can so you can represent yourself pro se; sell everything you can possibly do without (not everything you can comfortably do without), think creatively how to cut living expenses, and avail yourself of Social Services help if your son is in an unhealthy living situation.  And be persistent!

This is a good website I got lots of support and information from during my custody battle: www.childcustody.org

True, in his initial post, that is what he said but what he said later in my forums was this...  Here is the LINK

I just want to make something perfectly clear.

People, you don't HAVE to donate. I don't want people to think that donating is a must, and just because some do, others shouldn't feel bad about not doing it.

True, I will need the money, but supportive words are also needed. The hardest part about this whole thing is not being sure of the outcome. I might not even get full custody, there is no assurance that I will have my son after all this.

To those that sent donations, thank you very much. To those that didn't, thanks for the supportive words. At this point and time, I appreciate everything!

   I wish him well, I really do. I would do anything to maintain custody of my children. But I do find it strange that he would come to this site to find help. Being on Dialysis comes with its own set of financial problems. We could all do with an extra hand.

I too think he should take Sluffs advise.
