Helping my daughter to pay lawyers fees due to huge family court bills

Bay of Plenty

I'm a mum wanting to support my daughter, her partner, and 3 children recover from a 2 and a half year extremely stressful, and draining, battle with the family court system.

Due to a series of errors by Oranga Tamariki, and the other parent abusing the Without Notice system, my daughter had her young 2 boy's, then 3 and 5 years old, removed from her full time care. The boy's were forced to live with their father in another region of the North Island for over 2 and a half years, until the issue was resolved in the Family Court just recently.

Now 5 and 7 years old, the boy's are finally home living with their family.

As you can imagine, lawyers do not come cheap. This whole experience has not only robbed this wee family of untold precious memories together, but it has cost them over $80,000 financially. A shocking amount many people would struggle to find.

They have managed to pay all but the remaining balance of nearly $30,000. All donations will go towards clearing this debt.

There are so many people in our world needing help to get by from kind hearted strangers, and this is just one of many, but they are no less deserving of your help.

Thank you, your help is very much appreciated.
