Story
We are asking for help and support for my little brother. He has been living in Australia for 5 years, he got married and has a gorgeous little boy who will soon be 3.
In October 2015 the marriage broke down, and his ex wife is trying to do everything to get him deported, so he can't have a relationship with his child.
She has made many false allegations, got an intervention order against him for a year, stopped him seeing his son for 6 months and withdrew her visa sponsorship, all with the intention of getting him deported.
In the last year he has had to pay out for 2 citizenship visas & lawyers, family court and barrister fees and criminal court and solicitor fees. So far this has totalled over $30,000 Australian dollars.
He could have easily thrown in the towel and moved back to England, but he is a loving and devoted father who is trying to do absolutely everything in his power to stay in Australia so he can have a relationship with his son.
The emotional impact had been huge, but the financial stress is starting to take its toll. Everything he has been falsely accused of has been without evidence or witnesses, the police haven taken his wife's word as truth, which means a summons to court- he isn't and has never been found guilty.
All the times he's been dragged though court his wife hasn't had to pay a single penny, legal aid pay for everything, meaning she is happy to keep this charade going.
The last thing we want to happen, when he is so close to getting unsupervised visits is for him to have to say goodbye to his son for good and come home because he cannot afford to stay any more.
So please, if you believe that a father has as much right as a mother to a relationship with his child, and that a child deserves to know his daddy, please donate anything you can afford, no matter how small & help my brother to be the father his son deserves to have.
