My friends, I have wonderful news. Kyra paused the GoFundMe I shared last week, and she just made this announcement on social media:
So, big announcement, which is why I paused the fundraiser. Really big.
On Wednesday we had a pre trial conference, and during it, the judge told my ex and his lawyer that there was no claim to the house and it belongs solely to me. And with that removed, my ex offered to settle.
And we settled child support and back payment and other details. And it’s done. It’s done and signed and now we are waiting for the divorce. And I’m using the gofundme to pay for court costs and lawyer costs and previous law payments.
It’s over, guys. The house is safe. It’s safe.
Six years.
So many of you donated, shared, and prayed. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You did a good thing.
Kyra has strep and pneumonia and did the pre-trial conference via Zoom from bed, and she’s still extremely sick, and her kids are sick, as well. (Her ex has, of course, decided to skip his visitation because he is sick.) If you could keep her family in your prayers as we head into the final week of Advent, I would be so grateful.
Merry Christmas! I am a little confused , why is everyone supporting a divorce being finalized? Maybe the money could go to marriage counseling?
What a bizarre comment. Does this really sound to you like a situation where the man would agree to counseling? Six years after leaving and spending the entire time trying to take make his children and their mother homeless?
I’m guessing that OP comment has only read this post.
@Rebecca, I’d suggest going back a few posts and reading the backstory to this lady. Yes, when civil divorce happens it’s a tragedy, but sometimes it’s the lesser evil. This is DEFINITELY one of those cases. The guy is a complete and total nutcase, this whole fiasco has dragged on for years, and marriage counseling (along with a lot of other things) was probably tried and failed. He was an active and malignant danger to this lady and her kids.
Even if she hadn’t read any previous information, it’s so incredibly insensitive, to put it mildly, to barge into a stranger’s situation and go “why not try counseling?” It’s like strolling into a hospice center and suggesting vitamin supplements. By the time it gets to this point, you can safely assume all other options have been exhausted.
That’s true.
I just still remember being a well-meaning vitamin peddling idiot in the not too distant past. That’s mostly been knocked out of me (which is for the best), but BOY was that process painful. I guess I still read the naive ASD homeschooler I was into those sorts of responses.
that is charitable. I have definitely been that person, too.
That’s fantastic. I am so glad to hear it.
I saw the title of the post, and I literally started crying. I’m so so glad.
Oh my gosh, I am so happy for her. It’s over! And I got a bonus from work and I’m going to use part of it to finally buy a piece of her jewelry; she is a talented artist.
Merry Christmas!! What wonderful (and I’m imagining a little bittersweet) news. I’m so glad it’s done.
Wonderful news! And right before Christmas. So happy for her.
Thank you God for blessings!!! I can’t imagine the peace in her heart now. What a phenomenal gift.
