Now you can help financially-struggling mothers defend themselves against lawsuits from litigious exes. 

Help them to reduce the emotional damage inflicted upon children of divorce!

YOU can help a mother who is:

  • raising one or more children,
  • living on a subsistence-level income,
  • a non/low-earner during marriage,
  • now earning too much to qualify for
    government aid,
  • being bullied, threatened, or harassed by a litigious (often affluent) ex-spouse.

"One day before Christmas and her birthday, when her children (ages 5 and 3) were at their father’s house, there was a knock on Janice’s door at midnight. Two police officers entered her house. They said her husband had called CPS and had alleged that she was a danger to herself and her children. The police told her she had 15 minutes to leave her home. She was in complete shock. She called a local women's shelter, and stayed there for two weeks until her time in court, after which she was finally allowed to be reunited with her children back in her own home. She suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for several years trying to recover from this costly and heart-wrenching experience."

Statistics

Do you know about the following statistics affecting mothers and their children?

  • a woman who is out of the workforce for just three years can lose up to 37% of her earning power,
  • after a divorce the mother’s (and therefore the children’s) standard of living decreases by 30 to 45%,
  • after a divorce the father’s standard of living increases by at least 10 to 15%,
  • the poverty rate for children living with divorced mothers is nearly four times higher than for children living in two-parent families,
  • In Washington State fathers who earn six figure incomes, or more, have children living at or near poverty, because:
    • the Child Support Schedule has not been updated for inflation since 1991,
    • the Child Support Schedule has a cap (the highest amount required to pay) at sometimes less than half the income level of many fathers,
    • and the Washington State judiciary has determined that you cannot extrapolate past the top figure on the chart in order to adjust for today’s higher income levels.
