Why I'm Here
I am populating this website with essays, prose, music, and other created work with the option to donate if you want in trade for these things.
_____________________________________________
The goal of my daughter is why I am here doing this.
Inability to remain or participate in a court case I did not consent to but am legally obligated to because of the extreme financial toll, to start.
I have repeatedly asked to resolve this through mediation rather than litigation. I have never been responded to on this.
The money I am able to make through work is able to sometimes cover one area of life, but even then, the debt has become so large by the stalled court process and switching between self representation or a new lawyer retainer fee that housing, food, basic necessities require rearrangement on immediate priority lists.
The home I co own, equity and assets are inaccessible to me. Retaining my apartment is vital because I want to be able to one day say to a judge: her bedroom is ready and waiting.
the optics of no movement in a court case often are a hidden financial detriment
Despite a family well-known to some I do not have a trust fund. I have the inheritance of blood, not estate.
Gossip about my situation seems to have had an outcome of silence from most former employers I contracted work with.
New employers without gossip have requested I return when my legal situation has stabilized.
The longer resolution is put off, the more legal conflict. The more legal conflict the harder it is to plan and structure a stable living.
Temporary orders are supposed to change fairly quickly and in my case have turned into around ten months.
Being in temporary orders is difficult to commit to stabilized work as I have often had to pivot when new issues comes up.
This has created a situation where if I am honest with employers, I am telling them before hand that I might need to suddenly be unavailable.
I am doing different work now with looser schedules like driving instacart and things that can be done on chosen time blocks.
This does not bring in enough money to participate in my only goal and I am self representing again.
There are many other hidden costs in my case outside lawyers we can talk about at another time.
I am doing all I can now to keep my daughter and my apartment with her bedroom as she left it and this is narrowing to nearly impossible.
All money goes to housing, legal fees and debt, and the goal of my daughter.
I don't gamble, do crypto, drink, or take drugs. I do work but it is income close to output.
My owned property, assets, equity are frozen because divorce has not been addressed.
some placeholder paintings are generated while I get around to replacing them with the half finished paintings that honestly are annoyingly less pretty than their placeholders. Other than placeholder images and academic articles, everything is made by me. I will note anything not made by me.
