Urgent Fundraiser: Escalating Legal Battle and Immediate Need for Support

This fundraiser is for a woman facing an escalating legal battle with a former partner that she was never married to. This legal battle is presented as a civil dispute over dog ownership, but this situation is part of what she believes to be a deeply distressing, decade-long pattern of abuse.

Years after purchasing her dog independently her former partner filed documentation to try to claim the dog as his own. Although both she and the dog have not had contact with this former partner for over 2.5 years this civil case is now escalating to a trial. She believes this prolonged legal battle is both litigation abuse and financial pressure in attempt to gain access to her and control her life.

Her former partner is a lawyer who, for years, used threats of legal action to pressure her to maintain contact. They mutually cut ties in late 2023, but only a few month later he attempted to take her dog without her consent and then filed a lawsuit against her days after she blocked all contact with him.

During the time frame of the legal battle, she was diagnosed with clinical PTSD in addition to suffering from anxiety and depression and was unable to work for an extended period. Although she has returned to work, the ongoing legal costs and loss of income have created severe financial strain.

As the case approaches trial, she and her lawyers are confident she has a strong case both of the dogs ownership and a decade long pattern of abuse, but they urgently need additional financial support to continue her defense.

Urgent Need: Funds are needed within the next 7 days to cover immediate legal deadlines, trial prep work, and trial costs.

Any amount, small or large, makes a meaningful difference. Your support will help protect the safety and well-being of her and her dog and finally bring this long and painful chapter to an end.
